CC: Vikings/Eagles Halftime Comments

Harbaugh will be coming to Ann Arbor. Brandon is taking the heat about his "process" so that Harbaugh can coach Stanford in its "once in a blue moon" BCS bowl game. There are always NFL jobs. Always will be. Besides, it seems unlikely the NFL will even be playing next year. So why jump there now?

If Harbaugh can succeed at Stanford of all places he will succeed in Ann Arbor. Then he can take an NFL job if he feels the need.

That was a conservative estimate.

Update: At 11:15 am 12/29/10 we have already passed two CC posts and currently sit at three.

sweet mother of tits, if this were a vegas line I'd have put down about a million on the over.

jhackney warned me... I sincerely apologize to all for making a tongue in cheek comment about the Peter King/Bob Costa conversation about Harbaugh.

Rumors of Harbaugh being interested in an NFL gig have been much more prevalent than him coming to Ann Arbor. The one bit of information that we do have were his candid comments about the contract extension that was offered. The best opinion about Harbaugh would be that he is unlikely to return to Palo Alto next season. Whether it be Ann Arbor or San Fransisco/Carolina is where the debate of opinions exists.

Coaches get paid no matter what.  The players are the only ones who would lose a paycheck.  Well the owners would lose big time.  Last I recall, the TV contract was worth roughly 81 million per team and I'm sure it has gone up since.

I entered his dreams last night and planted the idea. It took a bit of doing, but I convinced him to honor the arrangement.

To take a leap of faith.

To come back so that we might be young men together again.  

Good questions.  I always wondered why we pay so much less than the top 10 programs pay.  Is RR even in the top 20 in pay.

I hope everyone gets some rest this week.  Next week will be intersting and the board will go haywire with all the CC posts.  More like I hope the mods get some rest because next week will be a big test for them.

I think most traditionalist Michigan fans just assume that because JH QB'd at UM, Michigan would be his "dream job."  Also, he was one of the most fun QB's to watch at Michigan during the Bo era, and those fans have an emotional attachment to him.  Consequently, they create the "fact" that Michigan is his dream job and use it to fulfill what is actually their own collective dream scenario. 

In addition, the media has conditioned the casual fan, of whom there are a lot more than, for example, mgoblog readers, to think that RR is a terrible coach, "not a Michigan Man," and that he "isn't the right man for the job."  So, the average Michigan fan wants RR out so that Michigan can "return to the old days," and sees a beloved Michigan icon as a potential replacement. 

Predictabaly, the result is that those fans want Harbaugh so badly that they can't possibly imagine why he wouldn't want to fulfill their fantasies, or why he would even think of the NFL when he could have what they consider to be their dream job, and therefore must be his dream job, too. 

Until Harbaugh says it one way or another, we won't really know. And neither will they.   

His pay would likely be about the same in the NFL. He has no NFL success, so it's not like he's going to net Shanahan to Washington money, or Parcells anywhere money. He'd likely get about 3 mil. His brother makes about that much. I'd expect that would be the area he would get from us.

Hmmmmmm......Schefter making a bad call?? GO FIGURE!!
