I mean.. Urban was in the same situation a couple years ago and he chose not to raid OSU for assistants.... https://247sports.com/college/ohio-state/Article/urban-meyer-wont-raid-ohio-state-footballs-coaching-staff-for-the-jacksonville-jaguars-i-wont-do-that-mark-pantoni-mickey-marotti-159332571/Amp/

Urban Meyer on the question…

Urban Meyer on the question of whether he'd raid the OSU staff for coaches when he accepted the Jaguars job: 

“I talked to Gene and I talked to coach Day, and you know my affection for both of those guys and the great university that we represented, and I won’t do that,” Meyer said. “Does that mean there might be one? Maybe. I’m not there yet. But I told Gene, I said, ‘Yeah, coach Marotti, Pantoni, the whole crew’s leaving,’ and they’re like ‘What?’ No, that’s the best infrastructure in college sports, so no, they will not be leaving. I'm not touching -- there might be one, I said, that will leave, but I am not gonna do that to that organization. And I’m not sure they would go. Ohio State is home to those guys now.”

 

And that's a guy this board frequently accused of being a selfish sociopath. I know it's hard to accept but Jim Harbaugh never gave a fuck about Michigan beyond anything that would benefit him. He's still the same guy that slammed Michigan academics when he was the Stanford coach. Appreciate the natty but let's just be honest, Jim won that for Jim, he didn't win that for Michigan.

lol, OSU got A LOT more loyalty out of Meyer than we're getting from Harbaugh. See:

Disappointed but not surprised. 

Deep down a lot of us…

Deep down a lot of us realize we're about to go on a 2001-2021 run yet again. Personally I'm going to try my best to just dial down my fandom a bit and change my donations over from the AD to the University so that I don't feel too invested going forward. 

Seriously? Can you read?

Harbaugh fucked us by taking…

Harbaugh fucked us by taking too long. He should've just said he was going to the nfl or taking a year off if no nfl jobs came up after winning the natty. We would've ended up with Fisch at the very least.

The two good ones this cycle were taken by Bama and Washington so we're fucked.

Because he is now the Alabama HC. 

I'd believe that if this…

I'd believe that if this issue was just this year, but we've had 3 years of this. Harbaugh straight up lied when he said this wouldn't be an every year thing. Let's just face it, he wants to leave as soon as he finds a good NFL job but while he finds it he'll hold Michigan hostage as a backup plan. 

Personally this situation…

Personally this situation has stolen most of the joy for me. Can't help but feel like he's burning down what he built on his way out. Maybe you guys are confident with Moore as coach and that's the difference, I'm not at all. I think it'll be a bad hire and a lot of you guys will switch up real fast when we go 7-5 next season. I wish he would've announced he was leaving before DeBoer and Fisch were off the table.

I do. I find the hypocrisy a bit funny. 

If Ryan Day is third base…

If Ryan Day is third base because he inherited a successful program from Meyer without any HC experience, what are OSU fans going to nickname Moore? 

That was a lie. This…

That was a lie. This contract negotiation is starting to feel like a hostage situation. We can't do anything but wait but waiting damages the program. 

You guys can be thankful for what Harbaugh's accomplished but there's no denying the fact that what he's doing right now is kinda shitty. If he loves Michigan and wants to coach the NFL he should let go of the Michigan job and let us find a new coach. If a job he likes doesn't open up then too bad, he can just wait another year. The way he's doing it right now is win-win for him and lose-lose for us. 

How is Nick Sirianni…

How is Nick Sirianni incompetent when his results on paper are very similar to Harbaugh's? 1 super bowl appearance and 3 playoff appearances overall. Only difference is Harbaugh won an extra 2 games in the playoffs to get to the nfc championship game the 2 seasons he didn't make the superbowl and Sirianni so far hasn't had a season where he doesn't qualify for the playoffs(unlike harbaugh his last season) 

Why aren't we looking for a…

Why aren't we looking for a new coach then? All the good ones got hired away while we wait for what everyone says is a certainty. 

It looks like every single…

It looks like every single successful program in this country gets more loyalty out of their coaches than we do.

OSU wins it all, they get ready to reload. Same for Bama, Georgia, Clemson, ect.

We win it all and everyone says "he's proven everything he can at the college level"

Really? Why do we have to put up with this shit but other fanbases don't? Where are the Kirby Smart rumors? Where were the Urban Meyer rumors? Why do we have to expect less than every other successful football program in this country?

No other program has ever…

No other program has ever had to deal with this shit right after winning a national championship. It's unbelievable. 

This fanbase has spent years…

This fanbase has spent years calling Ryan Day third base only to turn around and give the keys to the ferrari to someone with 0 head coaching experience and call it good. Hell, the offensive playcalling Q2 and Q3 almost cost us the NCG. 

Between Harbaugh and Warde…

Between Harbaugh and Warde by the time Harbaugh decides to leave for the NFL there will be no good coaches left. Even MSU will have a more experienced coach than we will... Maybe the delay is by design to force the program into an internal hire. 

Harbaugh delaying his…

Harbaugh delaying his decision is really starting to steal the joy from winning a natty for me... At this point if he leaves it looks like we're stuck with Moore as HC and honestly... we're screwed if that's the case IMO. 

I think it will be harder to…

I think it will be harder to dominate like Alabama did for a while.. but it'll be easier for second tier teams because more games means more chances for upsets. If you're a juggernaut in a single elimination situation you want as few games as possible between you and the championship. 

both statements can be true

both statements can be true

because they're in our…

because they're in our conference now and whoever they hire might affect our decision tree if Harbaugh leaves.

I haven't forgotten Q2 and Q3 of the NCG. If you're right(and I hope you're not) if Harbaugh leaves we are screwed IMO.

Big10 vs whatever's left of the B12.. not at all a lateral move 

The years of experience part…

The years of experience part is inaccurate. I think you're not counting his Sioux Falls years where he coached for 5 seasons and only lost once.

they went through a lot of that between Bear Bryant and Saban

Jedd Fisch is probably the…

Jedd Fisch is probably the best available name out there. Otherwise probably one of our coordinators or one of theirs if they don't all go to Alabama.

Dude is 104–12 for his HC career and 79-9 without Penix. I think he'll be fine.

Within the Michigan circles that also undermined Rich Rod from day 1. 

Lol Michigan finally wins it…

Lol Michigan finally wins it all and some fans go back to their worst tendencies. 

If it takes such an…

If it takes such an insurmountable effort to be an effective coach at Michigan then that's Michigan's problem. 

 

When Tressel was fired at OSU they recognized Fickell wasn't ready. They swung for the fences and got Urban Meyer, then Urban Meyer was fired, they went with the internal hire and are now starting to regret it. 

I fear Sherrone Moore will end up being Brady Hoke with an OL background instead of DL.

It would be kinda funny if…

It would be kinda funny if they poach Brian Kelly away from LSU tbh

well.. if the cowboys lose…

well.. if the cowboys lose their DC they just might go after Minter to fill that role. Not 100% certain that this doesn't affect us.

I might be driving all the way from Scranton. Wanna be optimistic but this might be a once in a lifetime type thing.

DeBoer has won everywhere he…

DeBoer has won everywhere he's coached, this isn't a 1 year miracle. He's frankly on an Urban Meyer trajectory, Washington could be his Utah and now he needs to find his Florida.

How many times has ND failed going the coordinator route? Bob Davie, Charlie Weis, and Freeman in a couple of years.

You know when people reach adulthood it's no longer necessary for them to stay within driving distance of their parents, right?

Brian Kelly's daughter was a student at ND when he left to LSU and left her stranded 😆

We're not in a position to…

We're not in a position to gamble our future on someone that's never been a HC on a day to day basis when there's so many good proven candidates out there. If Harbaugh leaves(which I hope he doesn't) the top of our list should be DeBoer and the bottom Jedd Fisch.

If we luck out and Moore turns out to be a good HC we'll have to worry about Oklahoma poaching him if Venables leaves or fails at Oklahoma. 

 

If Harbaugh leaves I don't…

If Harbaugh leaves I don't want someone without HC experience. There's a lot of good candidates out there that we can probably get. I don't think all three of Jedd Fisch, DeBoer, and Leipold say no if we come calling.
