LaDarius Henderson interviewed on Sirius XM ESPNU radio this morning

Honest question: are other programs giving sideline access to their S&C coaches? I love seeing Herbert on the sideline with the guys and I think it also helps him do his job better by seeing when and how they tire. 

You raise a good point.. which is.. head coaching experience elsewhere.

Imo thinking on this is “split”…. It’s great to promote from within, and - being a head coach adds responsibilities that a Coordinator doesn’t necessarily need to deal with.  It seems to be close to a coin toss.  

The advantage of promoting from within, IMO, is the consistency of the program and culture - which seems to be at an incredibly high level.  This team is tight.. together.. aligned - the Espirit de Corps.  And, I hope that this contracting process makes clear the funding set aside for the Coordinators and staff.

My wish is for everyone to be compensated “well and fairly”.  Honestly, my preference is that Harbaugh and staff are not the highest paid in college football.  My view is.. by role, their base salary is in the top five nationally (and second or third is fine with me).  And, their bonus / variable comp can make them the highest paid in their role - based on performance / achievement.  My rationale is - the highest paid in a given position brings them being a “target” into a potential discussion - as well as this “overpaid”, etc…which we’re hearing with Dabo these days.

Regardless, Go Blue!

I get the sentiment, however I hope Harbaugh outlasts Moore's patience. I wouldn't mind seeing Sherrone spread his wings, and then maybe in 10 years after leading Vanderbilt to multiple SEC titles, comes back and takes over Michigan. Asking someone to wait that long seems unlikely.

What all this 'heir apparent' talk fails to entertain is that the guy following a legend never does good.  David Shaw was probably the longest lasting that I've ever seen - and can you lump Stanford Jim Harbaugh (4 years) in with life-long lifers like Bo, Joe, Woody, and Bear?  We're all hoping (edit: except for Don) Harbaugh stays at Michigan until retirement, so another 10-15 years at least.  That will give him 25-30 years at Michigan, and surely he'll have more teams like the last three he's had.  In that scenario, the guy that replaces him - statistically - is going to fail.  That's happened everywhere else.

I hope it's not the case this time around...

I heard there's a group in Washington, DC that's looking into NIL with an intention of proposing some legislation to keep it under control.

It seems like the plan is to pass this bill during the Congress that is seated in January of 2037.

I like JHester. Too bad he is usually paired up with Bobby Carpenter. Although, he isnt as bad as some of the others.

But ya, Neuheisel has really gone off the rails. I know he has some bad history with Harbaugh, but he has taken it way too far. He will be disappointed if UM doesnt get the death penalty and that is not an exaggeration.

Goggles, I am in 100% agreement.  I made a post about this a few days ago.  They will not quit.  There is no benefit of the doubt when it comes to Michigan.  And the stupid songs they play to set their narratives along with both of them singing out of tune to the songs and making up ridiculous lyrics has been annoying.  And that shit goes on for many minutes.  Not sure how anyone, OSU or MSU fans included, are entertained by that crap.  I used to like the show but it has officially jumped the shark.

Neuheisel takes a holier than thou attitude and believes Michigan has committed egregious penalties that have threatened the sanctity of the game.  Complete hypocrite.  The dude had to forfeit five games while the coach at Colorado (he sidestepped any penalties) and was under NCAA investigation for infractions at Washington (he later won a lawsuit against UW).  So the guy has had his share of NCAA run-ins and was able to side step landmines in the process.  Maybe he should sit the Michigan thing out.

She has Peyton Mannings forehead. Just sayin'!
