Mine was Dee Hart. I took no joy in seeing his career (or knees) implode in Tuscaloosa, but his failed recruitment it was a turning point for me. 

This place, dare I say it, is at its best when it's at its most Michigan. That is, thoughtful, well-reasoned discussion with a dash of  salt. It is completely unlike other sports forums and that's something to be valued. Save the trashy, misogynist avatars for NFL forums--if they exist.

Oh, yeah, and GET OFF MY LAWN.

I'd like to note my approval for this post and all postings confirming Harbaugh's homecoming. 

Yes is the only correct answer.

I get this and appreciate he's probably a much better coach than what we saw on the field this year. But you can't argue with the results. Perhaps it was Hoke setting the parameters that prevented Nuss' offense from developing or re-tuning during the season, but I'm not sure that's a gamble JH would want to take. Further, Nuss was seemingly pushed out of Alabama after a pretty successful stint there. Clearly Saban thought his offense could due better with someone else at the helm. Unless it was just a personality clash, I suspect that Saban saw issues with the offense under Nuss and thought he could find someone to do it better.

The argument for continuity is solid though. Either way, I'd hope we have a far more dynamic, adaptive offense next year. Our team had nothing on that side of the ball and it can't all be attributed to Gardner.

Well that's something. Come on friends and family, bring Jim home!

Funny. Yesterday he was on DC espn radio (i.e., before news of the offer broke) and he said (paraphrasing) that whereas he hadn't given any credence to JH goin to UM earlier, he now wasn't ready to dismiss it as a possibility.

That was progress. This is a regression. I increasingly want Harbaugh to Michigan to happen almost as much to rub it in the NFL's face as I do for the obvious. The reporting by Schefter and his NFL beat comrades is getting beyond obnoxious.

Let HARBAUGH TO MICHIGAN be it, please.

Give this Bama fan some karma!

Let's hope it's true. 

So the Fister trade was... not very successful afterall. Unless Shane Greene turns out to be a stud. I know nothing about him, but Ray was a solid prospect at least.

DOUBLE POST. Thanks CC traffic.

Come on guys. This all relative. Of course it doesn't rain in Corvalis every minute of everyday all year long. But compared to Nebraska, or Colorado, or SoCal, or NorCal, or Wyoming, or Michigan, Corvalis like much of Oregon's I-5 corridor can be fairly and accurately described as rainy from late fall through first half of spring. Wasn't saying it's a bad place. It's a great town. Even if the winds from Albany aren't always that pleasant.

I wasn't happy to see RR go. I feel the same about Hoke. No question he's a great guy and coached his heart out. Part of being a successful leader is strength of will--something Hoke excelled at. Another part is adaptation. Something Hoke seems to have struggled with.

I wish it had worked out differently.

I also hope all the best for him and his family. They're part of the Michigan family and I'll root for him wherever he lands. I wouldn't be surprised to see him bounce back like RR. He--and the university--will hopefully learn much from this experience.

Opportunities like this don't come around often. Still feel like a douche though. Low hanging fruit...

Say what you will about Kirk, but just remember that he sent his daughter to Michigan to get an education. I had her in my class as a GSI, and she was an excellent student, who always took responsibility for herself and never made an excuse. I gained a lot of respect for Kirk after getting to know his kid.
