How much longer can you last ? - YOUR swim lane

Submitted by PeterKlima on

It has been about 48 hours since the news of Brady Hoke's firing was made official.  Since then, we have enjoyed --

  • Dozens of CC threads
  • JH being offered lots of money - YEAH
  • JH being approached through SF - YEAH
  • footballscoop, JH not a candidate - BOO
  • Sam Webb, JH may be more unlikely - BOO
  • Brian Griese says he is involved
  • Cowherd says a surprise name will be known soon
  • FlightTracker blocked - BOO/YEAH????

Meanwhile....

  • Florida quickly finds an unsplashy coach
  • Nebraska quickly finds an unsplashy coach
  • Michigan coaches told to stop recruiting, clear out
  • It seems like it could be a couple more weeks before anything is known

 

When do you call it quits and log off the board?

Unfortunately we've been through this before so I'm doing what I did last time.

Refresh app a lot and make sure I read every SMS alert I get from @MGoFeed. MGoFeed sends texts out whenever a new thread or post goes up.

I still did the same thing. I was refreshing mgoblog on my iPod touch and got Twitter SMS alerts from @umichfootball and Angelique.

That was back before smartphones were something everyone had. I'm one of the last people who still use the SMS alerts even though I have a smartphone and can go on the Twitter app.

I can last as long as it takes for us to get a great coach. We should not rush this like Florida and Braska has. We should have a coach by January 1st though so we don't make the same mistake that we did with the last hire being in mid January.

If anything, I feel less of a sense of urgency now that Florida and Nebraska are set.  There's a recruiting timeline, yes, but I care much more about getting this right than I care about this (fortunately small) recruiting class.  It's nice that the main college competitors are now, what, Kansas (for now), Oregon State, and Colorado State?  And then Tulsa?

Hackett should take as long as he needs to get the best guy possible.

Yes, Hackett should take his time, but hurry while taking his time. Don't rush, but move with a sense purpose, maybe a little faster.

OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GIVE US HARBAUGH! I HATE LOSING TO STAEE AND OSU AND RUTGERS AND MARYLAND AND ND AND UTAH AND MINNY!!! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE!!!!!

On a serious note, I don't care about the timeline, just win baby!

so I'm going for a long bike ride in the desert heat and then relaxing afterward poolside with a gin and tonic in each hand.

Actually, if somone could just create this thread at the end of every day, add some links to the highlights and best and juiciest comments, it would save me a ton of time I am wasting every day.

k thanks.
