Someone said if you try and apply you get a message saying job has already been filled. I am unable to get the link to work on my work computer. Can anyone confirm this?

I think I may be at fault here. I applied earlier this morning and got the below instant response:
CONGRATULATIONS! You have been selected as the next head coach of the Michigan men's football program. Your start date is yesterday. Welcome aboard.
January 7th, 2011 at 3:46 PM ^
We're still waiting on Dee Hart's approval, and then you're good to go.
January 7th, 2011 at 4:56 PM ^
Sorry, your upvote got HTTP403ed away.

link? i want to apply. i was the head coach of my flag football team in college. i think that's what they mean by "Previous collegiate head coaching experience".
January 7th, 2011 at 3:12 PM ^
Is this for the men's football team?
January 7th, 2011 at 3:24 PM ^
rabble rabble I don't see the phrase "Michigan Man" anywhere in this posting rabble rabble.
January 7th, 2011 at 3:11 PM ^
If you browse all of the openings it isn't there either. The chief compliance officer job still is though.
January 7th, 2011 at 3:13 PM ^
Public Institutions have to post the job, by law. They posted it -- now they took it down. Legally, it has been posted. They don't want to flood their database with bullshit resumes. It doesn't mean it's filled. I'm pretty sure DB didn't make a call from wherever he is: "Hey Cindy, we got one! Take down the posting!"
January 7th, 2011 at 3:17 PM ^
i think they have to keep it up for a certain amount of time.
January 7th, 2011 at 3:20 PM ^
Perhaps but Jim Harbaugh isn't applying via the website.
January 7th, 2011 at 3:23 PM ^
Or, maybe he is, hence the delay.
January 7th, 2011 at 3:29 PM ^
Yeah, he must be using HughesNet too and exceeded his daily download allowance.
January 7th, 2011 at 3:12 PM ^
omg it's down already....we have a coach
January 7th, 2011 at 3:13 PM ^
Time to celebrate the Hokemeister!!!
January 7th, 2011 at 3:14 PM ^
fairly easy? Perhaps this is the new, revised template, post-RichRod. "A thorough knowledge of NCAA rules and regulations is required."
January 7th, 2011 at 3:47 PM ^
that was there the last time the post was created (in 2007).
January 7th, 2011 at 3:50 PM ^
Maybe you should talk to the compliance office ahole.
January 7th, 2011 at 3:14 PM ^
They legally had to put it up....Don't read into the "job has been taken". If your qualified enough you would know how to get in contact with DB, and won't be applying through this posting.
January 7th, 2011 at 3:16 PM ^
Hope the successful candidate knows how to count every millisecond of practice time...

This must've been posted within the last hour or so, and then immediately taken down because I've been looking for this posting all morning. I think I'm highly qualified for the job having recruited extensively for numerous football teams, won a championship, graduated from the University of Michigan and have a graduate degree with strong local ties having lived in Ann Arbor for the last 18 years. Albeit the extent of my athletic experience is in the intramural realm, but it should translate easily to I-A right? Should I just email DB my resume and cover letter then?
January 7th, 2011 at 4:08 PM ^
Can you bake pizzas? I heard that helps you know football.
January 7th, 2011 at 3:32 PM ^
January 7th, 2011 at 3:34 PM ^
I looked at your avatar. You must have a very special deep hatred of GERG.
January 7th, 2011 at 3:59 PM ^
Oh you have no idea. I had to deal with his total epic fail for six years, and watched both of my schools get run into the ground by him. Syracuse is back and I look forward to Michigan being back to kicking Ohio State's ass on a yearly basis.
But yes, there is a special place in football hell for that man.
So, so many dead kittens.
January 7th, 2011 at 3:34 PM ^
All I had to do is click on the button first!
Championship!
January 7th, 2011 at 3:37 PM ^
See my post above. I was notified that I got the job! WTF is going on!?
January 7th, 2011 at 3:49 PM ^
off each other. What a sham.
January 7th, 2011 at 5:00 PM ^
They can't be official coaches unless they are part of the Flight Tracker.
January 7th, 2011 at 5:06 PM ^
Looks like being on that "no fly" list comes back to bite me once again. Good luck in the new gig, profitgoblue.
January 7th, 2011 at 4:00 PM ^
Gotta click the right link if you want to run this internet.
I will be calling all the offensive plays. I have loads of experience running the sweep on every play with Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl, so you have nothing to fear, fans!
January 7th, 2011 at 4:44 PM ^
But can I run the 2-6-3? Its like the 3-3-5 but even better! We'll give up a lot of deep TD passes but the scheme will look really awesome before the snap and it'll f- with the minds of opposing offensive coordinators.
January 7th, 2011 at 4:01 PM ^
Can I be your Special Teams coach?
January 7th, 2011 at 4:05 PM ^
Strength and Conditioning Coach. I'll have the players fight live wolverines, and be chased by rabid wolves. I build my S&C program around the idea of survival of the fittest.
January 7th, 2011 at 4:09 PM ^
Are you Barwis' cousin....Warwis?
January 7th, 2011 at 4:15 PM ^
Too lazy (i.e. afraid of being scared shitless) to find a GWAR pic to put here. Use your imaginations.
January 7th, 2011 at 4:35 PM ^
Last time I saw GWAR, they stuffed a giant cross in some guy's ass and brought out a full-size T-Rex that subsequently performed fellatio on their vocalist. Google is probably not as forgiving.
January 7th, 2011 at 4:19 PM ^
I make Barwis look like Wayne Brady.
January 7th, 2011 at 4:52 PM ^
I simply want a high paying position that involves minimal work.
January 7th, 2011 at 3:37 PM ^
It was up earlier today and down now. EVERYONE FREAK OUT!
January 7th, 2011 at 4:03 PM ^
What would be the MGoBlog dream team coaches?
My vote:
Mangus-HC
Purple Stuff- Offensive.......coordinator
profitgoblue- Defensive coordinator
Gary Busey- Special Teams
January 7th, 2011 at 4:15 PM ^
If only to hear Hunter Thompson-inspired locker room speeches.
January 7th, 2011 at 4:32 PM ^
We would end up with Iowan type charges of having games in the Drug House, but that means we got a shot at winning our bowl!
January 7th, 2011 at 4:17 PM ^
It is going to take me a while to copy down all the plays from Madden '94. Once I get there though we will FUCK. SHIT. UP.
