Jim Harbaugh Mock Staff
I'm bored....
Jim Harbaugh-HC
Cam Cameron- OC/TE
Mike Trgovac- DC
Scott Loeffler- QB
Soup Campbell- WR
Fred Jackson- RB
Teryl Austin or Vance Bedford- DB's
Glen Steele- DL
Jim Herrmann- LB (yes, i said it)
S&C- It won't be the same without Barwis.
btw, im still very much in RR's corner. this thread is just for fun... im not for letting go of a premiere football coach whose oldest recruits are sophomores when he has 20 starters back and a future Heisman winner at QB. did i mention Michigan is arguably the youngest team in the Big 10 and PSU, OSU, Iowa, and MSU all get worse?

Stop getting me excited. Lets secure Harbaugh first.

You've got your "dream team".....I've got mine.

Posts like this help ease the pain of our three year nightmare.
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:12 PM ^
..."The Maize and Blues Brothers", since Jim/Bo would apparently be getting the band back together.
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:13 PM ^
If wishes were fishes we'd all have some fried.
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:15 PM ^
if we were made of cellophane we'd all get stinking drunk much faster!
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:15 PM ^
(still hungover)
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:14 PM ^
You forgot Strength and Conditioning. Damnit, if/when we lose Barwis....
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:17 PM ^
And yes, he has been awesome, I don't think he's the only guy that subscibes to the modern S&C philosophy.
Also, for all the crap we give Gittelson around here, I don't recall watching those teams thinking, "Man.... these guys are wimps!"
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:19 PM ^
The gravelly tone, the grizzly bear ferocity....it won't be the same without him.
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:26 PM ^
Barwis has been awesome. For message board posters.
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:30 PM ^
And recruiting.
January 2nd, 2011 at 3:13 PM ^

No, but Gittleson focused purely on the strength portion and spent very little time on conditioning. When I came to Michigan in the late 90s I was shocked at how antiquated the "strength & conditioning" program was for all sports. Sure the Michigan teams in the late 90s and early 00s were still pretty dominant, but this was largely because the parity of college football is not what it is today. With so many more televised games, the rise of the recruiting services and the internet, recruiting is a lot more competitive and school's cannot simply hope to bring in top recruits on their name and prestige alone. With a more competitive landscape, you need to be able to develop talent and I don't believe that an old school S&C program can do that. For the record, I don't think that Barwis is the only guy who can run a modern program. I just don't want a return to Gittleson.
January 3rd, 2011 at 12:38 AM ^
I think most people only feel the conditioning was lacking?
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:14 PM ^
bitch look more like Freddy Jackson!

than I had imagined, before clicking. Sorry.
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:31 PM ^
But he has anonymous sources supporting most of the potential hires!

GERG's stuffed animal: special teams coach
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:15 PM ^
I'm still in the Rich Rodriguez camp. It's ludicrous to expect RR to have freshmen and sophomores (his oldest full player classes) to turn around Michigan this early. Another year is deserved in my honest opinion.
I'm bored, however, and I'm not going to get my way. So, why not.
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:17 PM ^
Play with MICHIGAN on NCAA 11' Every game is great!
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:18 PM ^
Somehow, I doubt that JH’s staff would be the Michigan equivalent of a Beatles reunion.
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:19 PM ^
Can we also hypothesize about what Harbaugh might wear to the press conference?!? Polo and some khakis? Or a shirt and tie? Will he wear a sport coat???
I wonder what he'll wear to the first game? THIS IS SO FUN!!!!!
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:20 PM ^
As long as it's not just blue and white. I mean COME ON
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:21 PM ^
my girlfriend wants to know WHO he'll wear.
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:22 PM ^
I should totally start a brand new thread for this. I can title it CCCC -- Coaching Change Clothing Choices.
January 2nd, 2011 at 2:18 PM ^
I would personally name it CCCC: C, C, C, C,or CK? ... Just to make sure people knew what it was about before clicking on it.
Coaching Change Clothing Choices: Converse, Claiborne, Coach, Chanel, or Calvin Klein?

for the homecoming:
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:20 PM ^
is this your dream scenario? other than fred jackson, i don't know if we get a single guy on that list. maybe...maybe soup comes back.
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:29 PM ^
The OP apparently has no idea that Harbaugh has no connection to "Soup." Or Loeffler. Or Jackson. He was never here when they were and given how Harbaugh has picked his staff at Stanford, I don't think he cares about what their alma mater is or what colors they've worn in previous jobs.
I could see Cameron and Trgovac just because they both have the NFL backgrounds that Harbaugh seems to like. That is about it on this Old Boy-lovin' list.
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:51 PM ^
true, however, i think that if a change is made that the new coach will keep jackson. he'd be a big help. he's been there forever, has a son on the team, is a quality coach and is a good recruiter. he has no reason to leave either. anyway, i can't believe we've taken the whole CC thing so far that we're now talking about all of these assistants.
January 2nd, 2011 at 2:09 PM ^
Cameron was Harbaugh's QB coach at Michigan.
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:37 PM ^
Agreed. If Harbaugh is indeed named the coach, I really doubt he brings back all the old Lloyd cronies.
January 2nd, 2011 at 5:20 PM ^
You are right. Getting that old band back together does not work for me. This is all for fun while we are cooling our heels, I realize. But really...Cam Cameron? Jim Herrmann? Where is Terry Malone? Or Mike DeBord? And by the way, don't you think we could actually join the 21st Century and employ an honest to goodness special teams coach??
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:23 PM ^
I'm still trying to figure out how this JH thing got started. Was it the Freep? Seeing how DB and JH haven't said a word about this, does anyone know? I guess we can still dream.
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:25 PM ^
Wow. Somebody likes inbreeding, don't they? I really hope most of that staff was a joke.
I watched a good deal of Florida vs. PSU yesterday. I'm not exactly clamoring for the quarterbacks coach from that team to be here.
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:28 PM ^
Well, if we want a freak defense, it's gonna take some mutations.
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:29 PM ^
might be controversial but what about Rex Ryan to come in and help out with kickers? And part-time film coordinator.
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:38 PM ^
Just what we need, more attention paid to Denard's feet.
January 2nd, 2011 at 2:12 PM ^
Just keep him away from Special Teams. We're not setting up any dirty trip-lines
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:37 PM ^
Some have moved on to the NFL (Trgovac, Cameron, Herrmann) and are not coming back to the college game. Some have moved onto higher positions of coaching (Bedford, Hoke) and will not take a demotion. And others I just see as having no shot of returning (Loeffler) or zero coaching experience (Steele).
I could see Erik Campbell coming back or Fred Jackson being retained. I could see us going after Corwin Brown. But the rest, probably not likely. And to be honest, not worth speculating. We haven't even officially hired Harbaugh yet. But if we do, I have faith he will put together a young, energetic, hard working staff like the one at Stanford which is essential to thrive in the college football world today with recruiting so vital to the lifeblood of a program. And I would prefer that over retreads and holdovers from the Carr era. For all of Rich Rod's failures, don't forget why he was here in the first place: Carr and his staff had reached their expiration date.

Jim Harbaugh Mock Staff
Dammit, you Harbaugh haters are getting on my last nerve. I don't even need to read the post, the heading says enough -- you're talking about Jim Harbaugh making fun of his staff, and you can't even use the correct verb tense, fucking Frankenstein?. I'll bet anything your moronic post has a "Jimmy Hairball" and DUI crack in it. Ugh, since I'm a masochist I'll read your post to prove my point . . . .
[ . . . . .]
Nevermind.
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:35 PM ^
It stands for "Coaching Change"
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:39 PM ^
Not a lot (or any) blue on his current staff. I think Jim will do things his own way and I wouldnt expect a lot of Michigan connections in the staff - assuming he's not coaching SF, Denver, or Carolina.
Here's Harbaugh's current staff:
Jim Harbaugh - Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football/Head Coach |
Lance Anderson - Linebackers/Recruiting Coordinator |
Tim Drevno - Assistant Coach - Offensive Line |
Vic Fangio - Assistant Coach - Defensive Coordinator/Linebackers |
Pep Hamilton - Assistant Coach - Wide Receivers |
Randy Hart - Assistant Coach - Defensive Line |
Derek Mason - Secondary |
Brian Polian - Assistant Coach - Special Teams Coordinator |
Greg Roman - Associate Head Coach/Asst. Head Coach Off./TE/OT |
David Shaw - Offensive Coordinator/Running Backs |
Ron Lynn - Director of Player Development |
Matt Doyle - Assistant AD/Director of Football Operations |
Mike Eubanks - Assistant AD/Director of Football Administration |
Dave Forman - Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach |
Mike Gleeson - Video Director |
Peter Hansen - Defensive Assistant |
Nick Holz - Offensive and Football Operations Assistant |
Chester McGlockton - Defensive Intern |
Theresa Miraglia - Administrative Associate |
Jon Oswald - Video Assistant |
Jordan Sundheim - Graduate Assistant |
Kevin Tolbert - Head Strength and Conditioning Coach |
Shannon Turley - Sports Performance Coordinator |
Morgan Turner - Strength and Conditioning Intern |
Tim Wait - Recruiting Assistant |
Tsuyoshi Kawata - Volunteer Staff Assistant |
Aaron Moorehead - Offensive Assistant |
Steve Wisniewski - Strength and Conditioning Intern |
January 2nd, 2011 at 3:33 PM ^
Are Stanford staff, not Harbaugh staff. None of them will come along. The exception might be the Strength and Conditioning Coach, Kevin Tolbert (and some of his staff), because he came from...Michigan.
