CC: Impact on other schools

Submitted by The_Mad Hatter on

I've been thinking about the impact our coaching hire will have on other schools,

Assume for a moment that we're going after the coach at another blue blood university.  How does the timing of our search and eventual hire impact that school?  Does their recruiting class tank?  Who do they get to replace the outgoing coach, especially if we're taking early January?

Are there succession plans in place to promote an assistant?  Or do they go out into the market and try to poach another successful coach like we did?

 

Just some things to think about while we're all busy F5ing today.

If you listened to Mike and Mike his morning, they dealt another bashing to Michigan, saying that the Wisconsin job is really the better of the two jobs right now.  Of course, Greenie did the "I love Michigan! I personally would rather go to Michigan" caveat, but they were unanimous in feeling that our program is resting on its past history - way past - and asked what kids nowadays value when it comes to picking schools. The answer was: not our storied traditions anymore. So let's hope Hackett and company can back up their very smart press conferences with a coach who can generate excitement and help reinvigorate the program, whether it be Harbaugh or someone else. Above all, we need someone who not only wins but who is charismatic and can lend his own energy to the program. Overlooking Miles' past alleged shenanigans might not be a bad thing.

really gives me some confidence that we're going to make a good hire this time.  I like that they went outside the AD to a guy with Michigan experience as a student and student-athlete.

I also think his personality is strong enough that he'll be able to bring along the POTUM and the Regents if there is any push-back on a potential hire, Miles specifically.

Also he looks like the actor that played Johnny Torrio on Boardwalk Empire, increasing my perception of him as a gangster.
