Ross would rather have Harbaugh at U-M

And he likely could finish out his career here...who knows? Even if he leaves after 5-6 years, we'll be better than we are now.

well you are obviously a half glass empty type of guy

Yeah, because that's what everyone at Stanford is saying: "I wish he never came here."

These opinions you have, man, you probably shouldn't dignify them with public words.

If he comes and leaves in five years we will be back here in the sense of looking for a new coach. However, I think we will be in a better position talent and college football relevance wise.

Between this and your Frank Clark post, I'm getting the distinct impression you're trolling us.

who cares

To a source. I highly doubt his wife is making the call. I'm not saying he's coming, just think that angle is overblown. This Rappaport or whatever just says his "source." Christ, a year ago Harbaugh was willing to go to cleveland. I'll believe one guy and that is when Jim himself says so. For every "source" that claims jim isn't coming, you'll find one saying he is.

Okay I give. She doesn't want to. But it seems very likely she will be. C'mon Lions.

I don't get why he's blackballed here.  He clearly has reputable sources.  He nailed the "Schlissel talked to the team" story about 24 hours before a university spokesman confirmed it and any MSM picked it up.  

Am I missing something?

Twitter comments.

The Henson comment regarding Harbaugh planning his staff are absurd. The idea that Harbaugh is thinking about who to put on his staff(and he would tell someone) while in the middle of the season with the Niners is asinine. 

@GreggHenson: Wow, I just talked to a guy (who knows) that Harbaugh is already discussing coaches he wants to hire in A2.

You mean this?

More exclamation points

being hopeful is stupid

what it leads to, inevitably, are people who will sit here and whine and moan and set fire to the world when we announce a coach whose last name isn't Harbaugh. And then we will endure years of posts about Hackett and Schlissel and how they intentionally screwed us out of our only chance at happiness by not offering Jim Harbaugh our entire endowment so that he might buy his own NFL team and also coach Michigan.

It's unlikely he's coming here. The only reports that indicate that he's even considering it are second and third hand accounts from Michigan fans. You're better off hoping for Dan Mullen or wondering if Al Golden would be able to win in the B1G, those are far more realistic options.

I believe JH is coming, but after the past 8 years - Hell let's start the night Bo died - we been beat down enuf to be careful with our hearts. A little cautious reservation doesn't seem like too bad an idea, huh?!

Offer JH a deal he cannot refuse. But it is not my decision. It will be the AD or AAD along with the president and board of regions. I fear the University will not go fully after JH and will come up short on any contract offer. That is why I think the chances are low that JH will be our next coach. I just hope they have a great plan B and plan C. No more .500 coaches from smaller schools. I think Miles will come here but I'm not sure if he will be on the AD or AAD list of possible coaches. At this time I fear there is a 50/50 chance I will not be happy with who is HC next season.

won't move from the bay area?  

 

that would be so wrong if that is  how this shakes out against us. . . 

He's just looking for clicks, so I guess he should thank you.

Also, what's Ross supposed to say? The Dolphins look really solid (5-2 during the past 7 games), their QB looks legit, and Joe Philbin looks like he may be a very good head coach.

Of course Ross is going to show strong support for the guy. The Dolphins look like they will make the playoffs this year.

If he heard it from an alumni, it has to be true.  There are only, what, 500,000 of us out there?
