Not sure how i feel about this...Part of me finds it hilarious and another part, truly terrified...
December 5th, 2014 at 4:18 PM ^
i mean, what the fuck is this?

This movie is one of the most famous in cinematic history.

I always wondered what Urban Meyer's nightmares were about. Now we know!
IT'S HAPPENING!

"It's a once in a lifetime opportunity"
Well, techinically "Twice in a lifetime" to date.
December 5th, 2014 at 4:10 PM ^
Fine. It's a once in a lifetime oppertunity to be the Michigan Head Coach WITHOUT Dave Brandon as your AD.
December 5th, 2014 at 6:31 PM ^
It's a once in a lifetime chance to have the chance for the second time.
December 5th, 2014 at 4:27 PM ^
is the cure for depression.

Make it stop.
December 5th, 2014 at 4:10 PM ^
Once in a life time?! Yes, because he's going to hole the job for 20 plus years and make us all very, very happy.
December 5th, 2014 at 4:12 PM ^
Brandon never even offered him the job last time around. Les either.
He wanted a lap dog so he could play coach, and neither of them would have put up with his crap.
/my two cents
December 5th, 2014 at 4:39 PM ^
All that glitters is not gold. That's all you need to know.
December 5th, 2014 at 4:12 PM ^
And Tim Said.
December 5th, 2014 at 4:28 PM ^
but does Tim Brown have validity? Does he have any ties to Harbaugh or the Niners? It's like asking Bo Jackson or Ray Guy about our coaching situation.
December 5th, 2014 at 4:15 PM ^
Is this the first time a non-Michigan source has said it's a possibility?
December 5th, 2014 at 4:16 PM ^
That's great, but... it's still just as much speculation as the people who say "no NFL guy would ever leave for college."
December 5th, 2014 at 4:44 PM ^
Damn it, MGoBoard, I just can't quit you!!!

December 5th, 2014 at 4:39 PM ^
so far, only his audience falls asleep

It's epic when Sour Shoes, Mike from Mahopac, calls in with his MadDog and Farrell impersonations.
December 5th, 2014 at 4:40 PM ^
I'm also firmly in the Harbaugh-or-bust camp. I don't want to be looking again in 4 years. Although in that period of time Dantonio might leave and MSU's dominance over UM may begin to ease.
December 5th, 2014 at 4:54 PM ^
December 5th, 2014 at 4:57 PM ^
Yeah, once in a liftime for both sides, it's has to happen!
December 5th, 2014 at 5:03 PM ^
has buried the real lede in this interview: Brown saying that he dislikes Rudy, and that Joe Montana once cussed out Rudy while he and Brown were standing on the sideline in South Bend during a 2011 game between ND and Penn State.
Apparently, Rudy is a real ass, according to Brown, who said he once attended a Biletnicoff Awards dinner in which Rudy was the night's guest speaker, and he arrived at the dinner during cocktal hour demanding to give his speech immediately. So everyone was directed to hear him give a 7 to 9-minute speech before dinner and then he left.
Brown said he just doesn't like the guy.
December 5th, 2014 at 8:35 PM ^
I remember reading he was charged with some shady stock stuff a few years back. I don't care enough to google it.
December 5th, 2014 at 5:09 PM ^
how Tim Brown would know anything about Harbaugh or our coaching search?
December 5th, 2014 at 6:18 PM ^
Not so sure he knows much about our search but I would assume he is tied to it for a number of ways. One he has his own Sirius XM NFL Radio show covering the Oakland Raiders thus I am sure he has to have numerous sources close to the Raiders. This is significant because the Raiders are a "hot" spot for Harbaugh to land. If Tim Brown is saying Michigan is very likely and dismissing the Raiders talk, this could be viewed as a positive.
Secondly, this is one of the first NFL sources or individuals to state that he may indeed leave the NFL and the possibilities are good.
This was my take on it when listening to it and the reason I posted it. Not because it was some no name guy talking about Harbaugh. No, I feel like there is a little more to it and that is why I felt it deserved a posting.
December 5th, 2014 at 6:26 PM ^
they know each other and have stayed in contact.
Harbaugh was the QB coach for the Raiders during Tim Brown's last 2 years there
December 5th, 2014 at 5:37 PM ^
Who does David Byrne think Michigan's next coach will be?
December 5th, 2014 at 5:46 PM ^
Which do you think is the most meaningful and long-lasting:
- Restored UofM's football program to an elite status
- Won a Superbowl
I agree. That's what I think gives us the best chance of getting him.

1. Staying in the same sunny state you've chosen to call home for 20 years, where your current wife is from, where your ex and kids live.
If the Raider job is avail, we have ZERO chance.
December 5th, 2014 at 7:02 PM ^
December 5th, 2014 at 7:53 PM ^
Did you really just log in right now to post this over and over? We've heard you, and while a valid concern I can't imagine that he'd be the first person to leave his "sunny state" for a job, whether it be in AA, Chicago, New York, or Atlanta.
December 5th, 2014 at 6:44 PM ^
Anyone else catch an article earlier today about JH's daughter Grace from his first marriage & a custody issue? She is still a minor and if Jim leaves the state of Ca. it could present a custody "issue" per the article... Sounded like $$$ could fix it - but... also cited a Red Wing that left and signed with San Jose due to the same situation...
Could be a factor - especially given f'd up California law.
Read it this morning on my phone and now can't find anything about it...
December 5th, 2014 at 6:58 PM ^
Don't really need an article. The guy has a 14-y.o. daughter with his ex, he personally has 20+ years of roots in California, his new wife has lived there her entire life. If the Raiders are an option, Michigan is a futile pitch. And none of us can blame him.
December 5th, 2014 at 8:04 PM ^
May have moved to CA when very young, not sure
December 5th, 2014 at 8:17 PM ^
December 5th, 2014 at 8:17 PM ^
December 5th, 2014 at 6:55 PM ^
In other words, "I don't want him coaching my Raiders, so I hope he goes to Michigan"?
I can't buy a guy who has chosen to accept job after job in California for two decades, with young kids and a born & raised Californian new wife, ex wife and kids, going across the country to Ann Arbor, Michigan if the Raiders' job is there for the taking. It's just not realistic what-so-ever.
The guy loves California. Period.
December 5th, 2014 at 7:37 PM ^
I don't understand all the people who say 'its a once in a lifetime opportunity' and 'its now or never.' If he doesnt take the job now he can still take it in 3 or 4 years when we fire the next guy.
