Wish he joined the team, but there is a long way to National Signing Day.  I'll be interested to see how this recruiting class shakes out after the hire.

Ugh, I hate how badly we need Harbaugh to stop the bleeding and regain morale and a positive image around the program. If we don't get him, it's gonna be bad. Miles might help turn the tide, too. Need something good, in the worst way.

This all reminds me of an old Richard Pryor joke. He said he grew up in a neighborhood where there were a bunch of gangs and he was in everyone of them… whichever gang was winning.

THIS MY SIDE!!! I’M WITH THEM!!!

The kid crossed over to our archrival gang because they were winning, then proudly yelled out THIS MY SIDE!!!

OSU fans were really upset when Kyle Kalis came here under similar circumstances. So I guess what comes around, goes around.

We’re just not the team that’s winning right now. Hopefully our new coach can change things. So more kids will proudly say “MICHIGAN IS MY SIDE!!!” And not sway from that decision.

I'm tired of 5+ loss seasons

I'm sick of Ohio State/Michigan being irrelevant.

I'm sick of Michigan State acting like a bully and we take it like a bunch of pussies.. . .

I'm sick of home town recruits committing then decommitting and committing to our rivals. . .

I'm sick of the national media saying our football program is a laughing stock.   And carrying on about how the head coaching job at Michigan is toxic.  And doing nothing to disprove it.

I'm sick of Jim Brandstatter resigning himself in the middle of a broadcast merely saying "what a mess."

 

I don't know if Harbaugh is coming or not. . . What I do know is that whoever the next guy is better put a stop to this bullshit right fucking now. . . .

If we don't get a quality coaching hire, the last decade vs OSU may actually look favorable compared to what's coming.  OSU is recruiting at a top 5 pace every year and DEVELOPING players.  Hell, look what they did this year with a young o-line and 2nd and 3rd string qb's.

we steal kids from Ohio! As long as we get a good coach, in the long run it won't hurt us too much since 2016 could be a kick ass recruiting year if Harbaugh decides to coach here! But even Miles, Mullen  or Bob Stoops would generate enough excitement for kids to want to play here.

As much as this irritates me, I think Michigan has a few good running backs on the roster right now. We go into Ohio and recruit all the time, I suppose its only fair they do the same to us. If only he hadnt committed to M first.

three seasons now and has had two different tailbacks run for 1400+ yards.

As for those using Dunn as an example of why Weber's making a mistake, Dunn's inability to secure the football and his unwillingness to do what was asked of him in the past (special teams) have led to his current home at the bottom of the depth chart.

in Columbus that Urban envirionment while Michigan is one thorny patch of bad karma and messy concerns. I'd say this about Weber's commitment there, it seems about as likely as anything else that has recently transpired. Whether he stays committed seems the bigger issue.

How much of his choice is about wanting some stability at the coaching posiition and an answer about what's next instead of whether this is actually the right place to go. We know Ohio simply poached the kid. How I hate Ohio State.

You must win on every play, a Harbaugh mantra. That is how it will be going forward.
