CC: elway back with broncos. first order of business; bring in harbaugh.
January 2nd, 2011 at 11:32 AM ^
Oh, here comes Andrew Luck. Pretend I said something funny!
January 2nd, 2011 at 11:39 AM ^
Elway: You are a self-righteous prick
JH: Yes. Yes I am.
hahahahohoho
January 2nd, 2011 at 2:06 PM ^
I'll bet you can't throw a football over those mountains over there...
January 2nd, 2011 at 11:54 AM ^
January 2nd, 2011 at 11:53 AM ^
"...and then I said "What's YOUR deal?"
January 2nd, 2011 at 2:53 PM ^
I'm in:
Elway: "Hey Jim, you hear that Jim McMahon's advertising a penis enhancement pill in the Chicago Sun Times?"
Harbaugh: The Punky QB?
Elway: "Guess he's not so cocky any more"
Elway/Harbaugh: [Laughter]
January 2nd, 2011 at 2:57 PM ^
Regular-season pro games are a bigger ratings draw than the World Series!
(general laughter)
January 2nd, 2011 at 11:28 AM ^
...anyone but Harbaugh would be viewed as a disappointing second choice, IMO. As such, if Harbaugh isn't on board, Brandon may as well keep RR for one more year rather than regret a less-than-ideal second choice.
January 2nd, 2011 at 11:31 AM ^
...Brady Hoke hire:
It significantly increases Michigan's chances of defeating San Diego State on Sep 24, 2011.
January 2nd, 2011 at 11:34 AM ^
January 2nd, 2011 at 2:43 PM ^
We'll make sure to let Brandon know about your choice of clothing.
January 2nd, 2011 at 2:56 PM ^
Does it say "All in for Casteel" on the back?

I was happy for the flu bug that hit MSU. Vary sad but true.
January 2nd, 2011 at 12:06 PM ^
by such a flu bug.
May we catch it in September, have it last a little over four months, whereafter it shall be known as the MICHIGAN RAGE Flu.
January 2nd, 2011 at 11:51 AM ^
This is one of the more depressing comments I have ever read on this blog.
January 2nd, 2011 at 11:32 AM ^
I said back in 07 when Lloyd stepped down that they should go after Chris Petersen of Boise. The other candidate I conjured up that wouldn't be a expansive difference offensive style would be Kyle Wittingham of Utah. However, I do agree that Harbaugh will be their first choice though.
January 2nd, 2011 at 11:40 AM ^
Well, I said back in 19XX I wanted some really successful coaches, in hindsight, to be hired. Guys like Mike Ditka or Vince Lombardi. Alas, I have no proof of this statement that I made either, but please believe my made up statement because it would make it sound really smart.
January 2nd, 2011 at 11:48 AM ^
Those guys were speculated about then. Before the Miles fiasco Herbie advocated for Peterson. So it's not quite a stretch to think that could have happened.
January 2nd, 2011 at 12:01 PM ^
The conversation that my comments took place in was a phone call home from Afghanistan to my brother about an hour after the Michigan-OSU game in 2007. We were doing nothing more than bantering back and forth of who we might like to see there in the future. Little did we know Lloyd announce his retirement the next day to the team.
Edit: I +1 each of you, since I should've been more specific from the start.
January 2nd, 2011 at 2:09 PM ^
You did not need to be more specific. My list back then inlcuded Peterson as well. Who gives two shits that some interent asswad called you out for absolutely no reason whatsoever? I just can't believe someone would have that many tacks shoved up their ass that they would call bullshit on a harmless musing on the internet.
January 2nd, 2011 at 12:48 PM ^
I'm with you on that Lomardi kid. He's an up and comer in the coaching ranks and I've heard from very reliable sources eating at a resturant my babysitter's boyfriend works at that he wants to coach at Michigan.
January 2nd, 2011 at 2:05 PM ^
You got that wound up about some anonymous internet poster that you had to call him out and say "bullshit" that he wanted Peterson? As JH would say: "What's your deal"? You seem to have a larger amount of assbag in you than the average poster. I recommend medication.
January 2nd, 2011 at 11:57 AM ^
Except that the past 2 Boise coaches to leave didn't fair so well...
<br>
<br>Hawkins is without job after the Colorado disaster...
<br>
<br>Houston Nutt is not doing a great job at Ole Miss...
January 2nd, 2011 at 12:08 PM ^
You left out Dirk Koetter as well, who was with Boise from 1998-2000. Therefore, I can see how people may want to tread lightly with their coaches.
January 2nd, 2011 at 12:13 PM ^
former Boise coach not doing so well - Dirk Koetter
January 2nd, 2011 at 2:11 PM ^
I believe he's going to coach intramurals, brother.
January 2nd, 2011 at 11:34 AM ^
I think the only coach the fans as a whole would be ok with is Gary Patterson, but that's not going to happen.
January 2nd, 2011 at 12:15 PM ^
Chris Peterson. I think Chris Peterson would suffice and I think he would listen to us now that his two running mate non BCS teams have found BCS conferences and it looks like Boise never will.
January 2nd, 2011 at 12:36 PM ^
His position has so eroded that keeping
<br>him for one year makes no sense.He basically would be a year long lame duck.
<br>
<br>Why do it anyways? We'll just be in this same position a year from now anyways. UM will still have to find a coach other than Harbaugh.
<br>
<br>There are plenty of other good fits if you do your homework. To think that only Harbaugh can fill the position is ridiculous.
January 2nd, 2011 at 11:28 AM ^
his first decision is NFL or college. if he picks NFL, we'll know soon enough.
January 2nd, 2011 at 11:29 AM ^
and the 3-5 D next year at Stanford."

"Ha ha ha ha ha" "ho ho ho ho"

Michigan runs a 3-man front on running downs!
Ahahahahaha!!
January 2nd, 2011 at 11:29 AM ^
I porked those clowns in the national media and they love me. I've met girls like that!

January 2nd, 2011 at 11:31 AM ^
JH is not going to expend life-energy trying to turn this guy into a pro QB:
January 2nd, 2011 at 2:59 PM ^
All sizzle, no lasting power.
January 2nd, 2011 at 11:35 AM ^
...on the NFL Network while talking to Jerry Sandusky, radio announcer for the Ravens:
"Well tell John Harbaugh to tell his brother, Jim 'Go Blue' for me. Will you please, Jerry. Just to say 'Hello'... that's all."
Pretty funny.
January 2nd, 2011 at 11:41 AM ^
UofM alumni according the wikipedia. Nice.
January 2nd, 2011 at 12:55 PM ^
basketball game, him and Stuart Scott, a UNC alum, we're talking some serious trash - in good fun, while wearing the tie colors of their respective teams. It was very awesome.
I don't think Stuart Scott let Rich live down that time---
I don't want to talk about it .. go blue!!
January 2nd, 2011 at 11:52 AM ^
January 2nd, 2011 at 11:39 AM ^
Someone needs to remind JH how the NFL worked out for Nick Saban.
January 2nd, 2011 at 11:56 AM ^
and Steve Spurrier.
January 2nd, 2011 at 12:18 PM ^
and his brother.....er.........wait.
January 2nd, 2011 at 11:58 AM ^
They gave him a large amount of money for a short period of work, then he was able to get an even better job in college than the one he had before, making even more money, and he won a national title.
It isn't the shitty career move everyone seems to make it out to be. A similar fate (getting as good or better gigs at the college level after a few years of cashing monster NFL paychecks) has befallen Petrino, Riley, Erickson (twice), Spurrier, Butch Davis, etc. (not to mention b-ball coaches like Pitino, Calipari, Floyd, etc.).
January 2nd, 2011 at 12:09 PM ^
You also get the "failure" tag that goes along with not being able to make it.
January 2nd, 2011 at 12:12 PM ^
Not to metion, you'll never get another gig in the NFL.
January 2nd, 2011 at 12:21 PM ^
Got two NFL jobs (left the Canes for Seattle and left Oregon St. for the Niners) despite pretty much no success at that level. In basketball, Tim Floyd got a second NBA job after no success with the Bulls. Pitino left Providence for the Knicks, sucked in the NBA, got the Kentucky job, left for the Celtics where he sucked again, then got the Louisville gig. But feel free to continue ignoring reality just because you want Jim Harbaugh to come to Michigan.
By your logic no one should ever take an NFL job because they might fail and never get another chance to take an NFL job. If others followed your logic, Tom Brady would never have started banging super models for fear he might not bring the thunder and after word got out on the super model rumor mill he would never again get the chance to bang a super model and so better just to not try in the first place.
January 2nd, 2011 at 12:13 PM ^
I'm sure Nick feels terrible that everyone thinks he's a failure (and by everyone, I of course mean just you). Hopefully doing laps in his swimming pool full of gold coins while wearing his two national championship rings for resistance can provide some solace for his weary mind.
January 2nd, 2011 at 12:29 PM ^
Don't forget Pete Carroll - bombed with the Jets - great gig in college - now an even better one in the NFL
