CC: JH Update

Submitted by KC Wolve on
Jay Glazer tweeted that even if the Niners win the SB, JH won't be back. Now I know several other NFL teams will go after him, and this probably isn't even true, but at least UM may have a shot.

Sorry no linky. On phone and don't know how to do that anyway.

These accounts are nice to read but if we don't change AD's it'll be hard to get Jim. I've heard Jim and Dave Brandon don't see eye to eye. DB seems threatened by Jim's personality and prefers a more acquiescent coach.

Jay Glazer is well connected and often gets these stories right.  Hard to say there is no way he comes back when the NFL season is not even at the halfway point but this can only help our cause.

We are not just fighting the 49ers, as we are fighting at least a handful of teams in the NFL, so the chance of getting him is extremely low and honestly, I don't think he wants to be a part of this mess that is M football. I think even he knows that this is a sinking ship.

If he came here, though? He would come into a huge pool of existing talent on the roster in 2015 and hopefully Dave Brandon would be gone by then. Our fans are passionate sure but we just want a coach that is competent is all we ask for

The more I think of Jim Harbaugh being our head coach, the better I feel. I know the chances are highly unlikely. But, if you'd have told me in 2006 that we'd have TWO different stretches of 3-9 and the worst loss in the history of the sport all while watching MSU ascend to the top of the conference, I would have said that was highly unlikely too.
If prefer to daydream good stuff and be happy right now. Football reality just ain't cool anymore.

Please for the Love of God STOP!!!!!!! There is absolutely a 0% chance of Jim or John Harbaugh coming here. Stop living in fantasy land. We have a better chance of rehiring RR than we do of getting a Harbaugh. 

Besides Hoke is still our coach and he deserves to finish out his contract at the very least. It is extremely sad and disturbing to see the entire fanbase want to run Hoke out of town. Did everyone not learn the lesson with RR?

who it is going to be, but I can give you some names of who it won't: Jim Harbaugh, John Harbaugh, Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, Chip Kelly, Jon Gruden, David Shaw, Will Muschamp, Bill Belicheck, Mark Dantonio, Ron Burgandy, Johnny Depp, and King George the 5th .

These people all have the same likelihood of becoming the HC at Michigan. ZERO

we shouldn't. It'd only be a waste of the AD's time to contact any of them to inquire if they wanted the HC gig here. What's the point in calling when everyone and their mother knows the answer will be "NO"?

I didn't because I thought that was even too far-fetched. Getting a dead king of England is much more likely than Tressel. Didn't know I needed to include him as ridiculous as my list was. But if we're doing this then yes let's add Tressel, Woody Hayes, John L Smith, Greg Robinson, Pope Benedict, Julius Caesar, and Harry Potter to the list. While slightly more absurd, they all have just as good a chance as either of the Harbaugh's at becoming our next HC.

I would make a terrible AD. I'm in the medical field and don't know the first thing about the business side of running and Athletic Director. But I am very knowledgeable about not wasting my time. If I had a patient come in with with foot pain, I wouldn't spend my time monkeying around with tests concerning the Coronary Artery Disease or brachial plexus injuries.
