JUB on Harbaugh and the NFL

Submitted by Maizen on

From the guy who first tweeted that Harbaugh was going to Michigan: Harbaugh is not going to Indy, or the NFL, any time soon. Probably ever.

Hard to say. We are four games into his run. Let's not skip over the part where Michigan gets really good and wins some games (which is assumed in the Harbaugh to NFL scenarios). That part is likely to be really fun.

does this really need a thread? We're not idiots like the NFL fans are. We know Harbaugh IS Michigan.

You've had some bad threads today.

Particularly Adam Schefter - expected better from him.

Being a UM alum, you'd think he'd have been able to grasp the rationale as to why Michigan appealed to Harbaugh.

Although I suppose it's possible that ESPN didn't give Schefter much leeway, rather having him speak in favor of the NFL.

He has a personal relationship with JH, and he is in a position to know things that the average observor does not.  Other than family, Anson, or maybe perhaps some other lettermen or friends, I cannot think of anyone in a better position to comment than JUB.

What is "threadworthy" is a value judgment for greater minds than mine.

That said, these reports are going to come for as long as JH is coach, and with Luck as Colts qb, baseless speculation is not surprising.  Feels good that JUB shot it down in this way.

I am sure this will vary for all UM fans, but, it's become a daily talking point for rival fans who are continually bringing up. Personally, I am glad they are talking about as it clearly shows a concern on their part. As long as JH is the HC of UM, this will be an ongoing topic.

Mason Cole, Moe Ways and Jake Butt all get key blocks.  I'm sure there were more, but these guys stood out.  Cole seals two -- first doubles the DE with Braden, and then seals the ILB. Butt excellently slows down two on the back-side, either of which may have ended the teleport mid-teleport.  And Moe Ways completely brings the double ruckus, first the corner, and then the safety.

I can't decide if Kalis totally f's up or totally makes that play. He seems lost when he misses his hole and goes around the pile. He also almost tackles Smith when he bursts out of the pile. But if he leads smith into that hole, he probably blocks his way and on the other side, he's such a massive human being that he blocks the defenders view of smith and ruins his angle for the tackle at the line. My guess is that Harbaugh coached Kalis to act confused and screen the defender. Brilliant.
