Durkin will not coach the team for the Bowl
Title says it all. It will be interesting to see who will be the DC coach. If Jackson is promoted then it will be permanent. If Mattison is promoted it could be interim

This is 100% not surprising. Michigan should be coached by a Michigan coach, not the HC of Maryland.
December 3rd, 2015 at 1:16 PM ^
that a Michigan Man will be coaching Michigan's Defense. People would be mininterpreting it for another 50 years.
December 3rd, 2015 at 2:04 PM ^
This would be a 100% accurate use of that phrase.
December 3rd, 2015 at 2:11 PM ^
That has never stopped anyone from assigning their own imagination-fueled definition, media included.

OSU let Herman stay on as a OC for the playoff when he was hired by Houston. Herman was recruiting for Houston while coming up with the game plan for the playoff.
December 3rd, 2015 at 2:28 PM ^
jobs the day after signing day during that period, see Mike Weber.
December 3rd, 2015 at 12:04 PM ^
He'll be busy coaching for Maryland's bowl game.
Wait what?
Nevermind.

You join yesterday and your handle is DJ Dickhead? I think you need to take a step away from all this. For everyone's sake.

You're saying in one day he has the ability to create threads?
God help us.
December 3rd, 2015 at 1:37 PM ^
Threads created so far - zero.
December 3rd, 2015 at 1:50 PM ^
I've seen this movie before.
First thread is hateful and the OP get's negged back to zero. The next day he's back up to 101 and posting about a great "pump me up" song, but gets negged below zero in his stupid and inflammatory comments. Profile then disappears.
My future self welcomes you to Bolivia.

i have no interest in starting threads. There are plenty of stupid ones to particpate in, as-is. There are also many wonderfully insightful threads and posts. I've learned a lot about football on this forum and the various front page posts.

I'm mostly giving you a hard time, man. If this is your first account (which I assume it's not), I suggest coming up with a different mgoname if you plan on going forward with this. Creating mgonames out of emotion I would assume could lead to bad things. But then again, this is just the internet after all.

This is actually my first login here, though I've read for a few years (back before Hoke set the team on fire). If this one gets negged beyond reason, I'll just sign up with my real name - as you say, it's just the internet.

This is why I'm not a huge fan of the posbang threads. A banned poster can come back under a new username, post a few times in one of those threads and presto - 100 quick points. Often it only takes a couple of cheesy BuzzFeed gifs to get to the century mark.
December 3rd, 2015 at 7:03 PM ^
I never go in those "posbang" threads, because it's dumb. Lots of free points, for what? They don't matter.

I have a few others I feel the same about, here and on a couple other sites. It's kind of an eerie feeling, huh?

Hopefully you're a troll, cause if not that's just embarassing.

Gotta get a jump on all those hot Maryland recruiting leads, make sure the kids don't jump ship because they don't have Edsall, er, wait, whoever it was.

If we were playing Saturday I could see him coaching, but with weeks to prepare and not even officially knowing who we're going to play...it's quite obvious it'll be Mattison or Jackson.
December 3rd, 2015 at 3:48 PM ^
when it comes to important decisions, I'm pretty confident he'll get this figured out pretty soon.
December 3rd, 2015 at 12:43 PM ^
Well, now its confirmed.

I definitely wouldn't be decorating my cubicle in your line of work.

to limit company info from leaving the office.
December 3rd, 2015 at 1:27 PM ^
@Wendyk5 - exactly right. When I left my last corporate gig, despite the fact I was completely changing gears and starting my own gig in an unrelated field, they immediately shut down my cellphone, my corporate credit card, access card to the office, email and login credentials, took back my laptop and had me pack up my office in the presence of someone from HR.
And I left on pretty good terms!

December 3rd, 2015 at 3:33 PM ^
I went back and worked at the same place on two separate occasions (that's how advertising works if you stay in the same city) and there were no hard feelings. but each time I left, I had to be out immediately and they packed up my stuff.
December 3rd, 2015 at 1:29 PM ^
Exactly. In Harhaugh's mind, the minute he accepted the Maryland job he became the enemy. And the enemy must be destroyed.
December 3rd, 2015 at 12:06 PM ^
How is this even a thread?
December 3rd, 2015 at 12:11 PM ^
It directly pertains to our football program. Yes, it was 1 million % expected, but now that is confirmed. I You like the threads about DCC: Adam Sandlar better?
December 3rd, 2015 at 12:23 PM ^
coached the bowl team. It is not as if he is being fired and in his news conference he said that Jim helped in process of the getting this job.
December 3rd, 2015 at 12:08 PM ^
Wow, the bitterness is strong in this thread. I can almost picture the Emperor - "Let the hate FLOW..."
December 3rd, 2015 at 12:13 PM ^
I just look at all 10 comments posted before your comment, and I don't see a single bitter comment. All people are saying is that now that he works for a conference rival, he should obviously not coach our team in the bowl. He would never be 100% focused on winning the game, with hiring a whole new staff, meeting his new team, recruitng for Maryland and re-arranging how personal life. That's not bitterness, it is reality.
December 3rd, 2015 at 12:30 PM ^
Well, the thread yesterday turned into WD revoking Durkin's Michigan Man card, and the peanut gallery declaring Durkin a traitor.
So... Not surprising.
December 3rd, 2015 at 1:06 PM ^
He was here for less than a year, interviewed for his new job with a conference rival DURING our biggest week of the season, prepared a terrible game plan for said week AND THEN tried to poach one of our better defensive recruiters on his way out the door.
What about this says we should wish him luck and think of him fondly as he moves on in his career? How do you think Bo would have reacted to any of those events?
December 3rd, 2015 at 1:13 PM ^
While I agree with you, I wouldn't call Maryland a conference rival...
December 3rd, 2015 at 1:57 PM ^
according to his presser, Hackett and Harbaugh were fully aware and supportive of this move. But I guess we should defer to baseless internet speculation.
December 3rd, 2015 at 4:13 PM ^
A better question would be: "what about this says we shouldn't show class"?
December 3rd, 2015 at 4:40 PM ^
Not wishing him luck has nothing to do with "having class". I don't have to smile when someone is feeding me a shit sandwhich to feel like I have class.
