Nice click bait title
December 7th, 2020 at 7:42 PM ^
What I'm hearing is unless coach decides to take an NFL offer (very unlikely, also not certain there is an offer) he's accepting an extension with smaller buyout and a contract with more flexibility for the university. Exact quote from contact: "Ball is completely in JH court"
Recruits and underclassman both expect JH back, and an announcement soon.
No word on assistants, also sounds like they do not believe DE is coming, but not a done deal.
Almost entire 21 class has been tweeting out their commitment to JH, which feels orchestrated (most likely by JM or Dudek).
Speculation amongst NFL reporters was LA Chargers job along with Chicago Bears are both something that JH would consider, apparently his son and some family are already back in Cali. Same source told me that unless you hear something from Shefter it's not happening.
Cheers
December 7th, 2020 at 7:47 PM ^
Thanks for news! Who is DE?
edit:
just guessed it: Donovan Edwards?
December 7th, 2020 at 7:51 PM ^
Other than missing on another Michigan kid, not really a big loss IMO. RB isn't really the problem.
December 7th, 2020 at 8:10 PM ^
Running back isn't a problem? Charbonnet is reportedly leaving. How is it not a problem?
This is exactly how depth problems happen.
December 7th, 2020 at 8:16 PM ^
Who has reported it? Anyone credible?
December 7th, 2020 at 8:48 PM ^
most uses of the word "reportedly" around here are directly from other message board posts. the vast, vast majority don't even rise to the level of "if what my cousin the insider said is true."
December 7th, 2020 at 8:47 PM ^
Even if he leaves we have 3 coming back and an incoming recruit. Hell, 4 if Evans comes back.
December 7th, 2020 at 8:57 PM ^
Chris Evans is a senior next year so that leaves you with two plus the incoming freshman for 2021. Doesn't seem like a lot of depth to me.
December 7th, 2020 at 9:19 PM ^
Hassan Haskins will be a junior
Zach Charbonnet will be a junior
Christian Turner will be a junior
Blake Corum will be a sophomore
Tavier Dunlap will be a freshman
That's plenty of depth.
EDIT: Those class designations are without considering the fact that everyone gets a free year. The juniors are basically RS sophs.
December 7th, 2020 at 10:10 PM ^
You are the biggest concern troll around, as if running back is our biggest problem. Quit whining.
December 7th, 2020 at 8:54 PM ^
It's a big deal if he stays in conference and we have to play him 4 straight years.
Losing Weber didn't bother me. DE seems to be a better prospect.
December 7th, 2020 at 8:54 PM ^
youre right that they have bigger problems.
the thing is they need to lock down talented local stars when possible. not to mention michigans backs often get caught from behind - i have no clue if edwards brings legit breakaway ability but some seem to think he does
December 7th, 2020 at 7:47 PM ^
Who is DE?
December 7th, 2020 at 7:48 PM ^
I'm sorry, who is DE?
December 7th, 2020 at 7:48 PM ^
Xavier Worthy tweet anything about his commitment?
December 7th, 2020 at 7:49 PM ^
he gone, unless JG finds a bag for him
December 7th, 2020 at 8:16 PM ^
Yes. Worthy said tune in on the 16th for his commitment to Alabama.
December 7th, 2020 at 7:50 PM ^
Random comment about....I assume Harbaugh (JH)?
December 7th, 2020 at 7:54 PM ^
I upvoted because I trust you, but I do not like the news. This is the worst possible news we could hear. The program has been on a downward trend since 2017, the crap of 2020 just laid bare the window dressing covering the cracks in the foundation. Stand by for 8 wins next year, including another blowout loss to OSU and a bowl game loss. Recruits will continue to leave after two years just to get away from him.
I really hope he proves me wrong, but I doubt it. The loop is real - it'll never be worse than it is right now, and never better than 2016. That's the top - loss to OSU and in the bowl to close out an otherwise successful year, when those occur between the 2017/2020-like seasons...
December 7th, 2020 at 8:00 PM ^
Yep, worst possible news. I can’t wait until DB also returns and this shit show continues.
You say 8 wins, but they will be lucky to win that many. This university never fails to disappoint when it comes to football.
December 8th, 2020 at 8:06 AM ^
Who is DB? I have also seen DE?
Don't know the coaches and recruits well enough to know who these acronyms are.
December 7th, 2020 at 8:10 PM ^
Yup, it astounds me how Warde can look at the results on the field and come to the conclusion that we need MORE of it...guess I’ll have to wait another 2-3 years to have any hope in this program
December 7th, 2020 at 8:56 PM ^
Ball is completely in JH court
His court?!! So he gives us this performance and we leave the ball in his court on whether he wants to extend for more millions?! Warde is a joke. I guess it’s impossible to fire your boss eh Warde?
December 8th, 2020 at 4:29 AM ^
Yes, his court. That's how contracts work. I offer you something and you sign it.
If you were making $8.5M/year and I offer you $5M and say you need to change your staff and you can use that extra $3.5M for assistant coaches...that is an offer. Take it or leave it. That's how it works.
Warde is a joke, yet look at his hires. You saying that about Juwan Howard now or just about Harbaugh (who he didn't hire)?
December 8th, 2020 at 4:26 AM ^
What other realistic options does Warde have?
Fire Harbaugh, pay him and his staff $12M in a pandemic and then what, shell out $12M more for who? You think Urban Meyer is coming or something?
Who is this magic man that Warde is overlooking that's so much better than Harbaugh?
December 8th, 2020 at 12:56 PM ^
I think this is the best move. Give Harbaugh a contract that is tied to performance. If Harbaugh is confident in his ability to beat Ohio State, beat Staee, win BIG championships, then he should have no problem taking this type of contract that is highly results based. If he doesn't like it, he still has a chance to move on to a possible NFL position. This leaves Warde and Harbaugh both in good positions. Harbaugh not fired and leaving for his dream to move on to NFL championship, or stay and get paid top dollar only if you win. He has his extension to keep recruits too. Warde doesn't have to fire the prodigal son, and his friend, but is giving him an out to leave, that doesn't cost the program $12M.
I'm don't have any confidence that Harbaugh will get us to a championship at this point, but this is best case for all in how to handle this matter.
December 7th, 2020 at 9:31 PM ^
Not shitting in your post or anything but if Pigrome completes that wide open pass against OSU in 2018 we win the conference. My opinion anyways.
December 8th, 2020 at 4:24 AM ^
1VaBlue1...curious, what's the best possible news?
December 7th, 2020 at 7:56 PM ^
His wife and kids have a house on Coronado. His kids go to Coronado schools
December 7th, 2020 at 8:10 PM ^
Ex wife. And son is in Seattle
December 8th, 2020 at 8:51 AM ^
Wow! Some of you guys have stalker-level knowledge of Coach Harbaugh.
December 7th, 2020 at 8:01 PM ^
Welp the AD can kiss my ass then. I hope they enjoy 80k per game max and losing out on another coach just like they did with Mullen.
December 7th, 2020 at 9:18 PM ^
UMxWolverines is quickly moving up the list of most annoying long time posters
It's almost like you're WDs slightly less annoying cousin
December 7th, 2020 at 10:19 PM ^
He is worse than WD. At least WD added useful information. UMx is just a whiner. I hope we don’t have to see his posts anymore. He just whines and whines and whines. UMx can go jump on the Bama bandwagon. There is still room. We don’t want fans like him.
December 7th, 2020 at 8:11 PM ^
Any word on the OSU game?
December 7th, 2020 at 8:12 PM ^
Thanks for the update. While I expected an extension, I hope the AD didn’t leave the decision solely with harbaugh, and if he agree to a more favorable contract for the school than I am hoping he agreed to hire new Coordinators.
December 7th, 2020 at 8:14 PM ^
Here’s a John U Bacon tweet with basically the same info: link
Also, apparently 5 NFL teams have expressed interest
December 7th, 2020 at 8:24 PM ^
I hope a couple make a solid offer...
December 7th, 2020 at 10:44 PM ^
I hope Warde encourages him to take one of those offers.
December 7th, 2020 at 8:14 PM ^
"What I'm hearing"
:proceeds to write out word for word what John U Bacon tweeted:
Just link to JUB's tweet, jabroni.
December 8th, 2020 at 4:57 AM ^
Don't you know that JU is the Ghostof? This is just the name he uses on this board.
December 8th, 2020 at 6:57 AM ^
He clearly was taught at the UMBig11 school insidering.
December 7th, 2020 at 8:26 PM ^
He needs to make a decision soon. Michigan can’t wait until NFL season is over to know.
December 8th, 2020 at 1:16 AM ^
I might just be retarded, but who is 'JM?'
December 8th, 2020 at 7:28 PM ^
I'd be tired of the AA winters too. The Chargers job is a good one going forward. Great QB and good defense.
December 7th, 2020 at 7:54 PM ^
So when the news is proven accurate you going to come back on here and upvote me and say thanks for the info
December 7th, 2020 at 8:28 PM ^
No. The negs are for your click bait title. This post is a blatant points grab. So take your earned negs like a man, and don't beg for points.
December 7th, 2020 at 8:56 PM ^
First rule of MGoBlog points.....

Wtf. Do you get paid if we click. We would all click anyway.
