Latest Rumors about possible staff

Idgaf if Ronald fuckkng McDonald and bill Clinton were co-oc if harbaugh is our coach we are fine

but yeah, you get the point.

Neither guy would go back to CFB with anything less than an OC position (obviously teaching their talents at their respective positions as well). The "Co-OC" title is just that: a resume' title. Jim would be the main OC at the CFB level, IMO. Yet, he'd have a legit OC in both but both would also be more position coaches than gameplan guys. Think of it at about an 80:20 ratio in position:offensive duties. Should we get Jim the biggest difference is going to be the way we become an NFL conduit in terms of coaching and eventually players. NFL guys that want a break, have to rebuild their resume', were just on a staff that was let go, etc will come to Michigan to be under Jim to do so. The same goes the other way. Wheatley would likely move on in a few years but that would be a sign that things are going well! You want teams trying to poach your coaches and in Ty's case, let him as he may be the guy that comes back to be the next HC!?! Up & coming coaches with their eyes set on one day being in the NFL or major CFB will seek out Michigan like they did for so many years under Bo and through the 90s. It's why we have such a large coaching tree despite recent failures. UM was a sought out destination for coaches and we'd return to that at the players/programs benefit. Landing Jim would be a culture change like no other hire (maybe outside if Miles) in that we'd go back to running like a professional outfit again day one. I think it will take a couple years to start really winning but the staff would and we'll remain top notch, almost pro level, from day one on. THAT is the difference in getting him or another. Many other guys can win here but it wouldn't be like before. Hiring Harbaugh would be the most "MICHIGAN THING" Michigan has done since 97. Some posters here weren't even born then. They have zero idea of what Michigan is or was our whatever you wanna call it. Record aside, up until the late 90s we were a coaching destination and not this rehashing of loyalty spoiled sub par coaches. It seems like every NFL team & about 50 solid CFB teams have coaches in the Michigan tree. Given that we haven't had anyone to carry the tradition in a decade, that's saying a lot. /r

highly unlikely if the insanely competetive alpha dog HC has the respect of all parties involved and feels the team would benefit from co-coordinator situation

I would would have agreed with that last year but a lot of good teams have them now. 

A short list of teams with co-offensive coordinators:

Michigan State, Arizona, Florida State, Ohio State, Clemson, TCU, Auburn, Miss State,and  Ole Miss. Right now 7 of the top 10 teams have co-coordinators and some even have co-coordinators on both sides of the ball which I found interesting.
