But seriously though, who is Plan B?

Snatch Jim Mora from UCLA

Harbaugh is Plan B.......... and CDEFGHIJK

Obviously. 

Mullin - is in a wait and see mode! He is interested but really likes Miss

Mora - to me makes the most sense besides Stoops, he's tuff, young, NFL ties, and a no nonsense guy

Stoops - my choice from day 1, I really think he or Mora is our future coach if Harbaugh says no.

Exactly, I'd rather wait 4 weeks to make the perfect hire than to rush it like Florida, Nebraska, and Wisconsin.

Never will get to Plan B! Something is bubbling tonight over at The Fort. Board insiders are extremely happy right now.

honestly, anyone but harbaugh at this point would be a major disappointment.  not saying we wont get a good coach, but i'm not emotionally prepared to think about any other scenario at the moment lol.  

Bronco Mendenhall should be a very solid plan B option. He's had a ton of success at BYU. BYU has fairly rigorous academic standards and extremely rigorous personal conduct standards so you'd have to believe he's both capable of recruiting to a place like Michigan and able to run a clean program. He's also only 48 but has had 9 years of major coaching experience. No smoke that I've seen around him though.

Lack of contact with these candidates has to be a good thing.

Seriously, I am thinking that Harbaugh has already agreed to terms with Hackett and Schlissel.  If Michigan has already committed to helping with the buyout, then it MUST remain an absolute secret- meaning no one outside of Harbaugh/Hackett/Schlissel (and agents) knows about it, or it could cost them millions as I would imagine this would have an effect on Harbaugh's buyout.  They are waiting until the season's end, or hoping that SF fires him.

None of these NFL guys knows anything beyond "no NFL guy lowers himself to college voluntarily" so I really don't care what Kawakami says, seeing as how that is merely his opinion (he stated such).

Should be option 1B.  Seriously.  "Hmmm, let's look at these resumes...  We have someone who's won a national championship, played in two, consistently wins in the best division in college football, and all but broadcasts to the world (including his own players) that he loves Michigan.  Oh yeah, then we have all these other guys.  The best one in that pile (Mullen) finally beat some good teams this year and has similar baggage as that guy who loves Michigan and won a natty.  Phew... this is such a tough decision..." 

I can't believe the athletic department and Hackett don't consult us on these matters.

Remember Dan Mullen hasn't signed that new contract extension.

We're fucked. Plus the mob is going to call for Beilein to be fired soon. The. We can start this process for basketball as well

Where we miss out on Harbaugh and there is no solid plan B - which leads to Hackett appointing Mike DeBord or Doug Nussmeier interim head coach for the upcoming season as he continues the search. I don't see Hackett trying to pull the wool over our eyes and convince us Schiano or Addazio is the guy (that's a Dave Brandon move). He'll be honest and upfront if in the end he hasn't found the right guy for the job.

That said, why is Mike DeBord even remotely involved in the program still? I hate that guy and all the rest of Lloyd's lackeys.
