SIAP - ESPN predicts Harbaugh back to the NFL by 2021
I mean it's an off the wall article anyway, but they are sticking with the thought that the Dolphins will need a new coach and Harbaugh will go for it.

Eye roll.
This is such a tired narrative....clickbait. If Harbaugh wins say 2 natty's in the next 4 years than maybe....just maybe he might consider....and I'd be ok with that exchange:)
Downvoted for natty
If they win 2, he can call it whatever he wants.
Downvoted for the apostrophe.
Downvoted for than.
Downvoted for four period ellipsis.
It's savage out there. I think this might be what people might be looking for:
This is such a tired narrative. It is clearly clickbait. If Harbaugh were to deliver two national championships in the next four years, then maybe, just maybe, he would consider leaving for the NFL—something I would understand.
Or they could be looking for excuses to downvote. I'm guessing the latter.
The guy the media loves to hate until they need clicks, fuck em
Exactly! Do not click! Move along, nothing to see here.
Exactly. Why do they keep returning to this tired shit?
Consider the source - ESPN.
Death throes of a media outlet. Grasping for clicks like a last breath. Sort of like when they were unplugging HAL in 2001 A Space Odyssey.
"Daisy, Daisy..."
Like Trump... but I'm safe and rich and my immigrant mom respected the process and in not in jail. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
The descent of ESPN is rivaled only by Blockbuster......
One store left...time to invest!
they can only go up from there, you are right
Ward needs to get that "Coach for Life" contract done. Although I'm sure these articles won't stop either way.
How exactly would you draft such a contract? Forbid him from being employed outside of UM until death? Is this a thing?
Not worth the click guys.
If only the link were clickable
FAKE NEWS!!! Just click bait.
To be fair, he's never stayed in the same job longer than 7 years.
Neither has Urban or about 70% of the other coaches in America.
In the B1G, only Ferentz, Fitz and Mork have been around for more than 7 yrs.
Are you sure?
I'd be willing to bet that its upwards of 85%. The median tenure at any job in the US is 4.6 years.
A joke, man. It was a joke.
When he was hired, everybody said he'd be gone by year 4 because he had never stayed at a job longer than 4 years.
The only thing worse than that article is the number of posters here that wouldn't recognize sarcasm if it took a dump on their face.
Possible you're just not good at sarcasm?
There's a reason everybody puts "/s" after their joke posts around here. Pretty sure it's not because I'm not good at sarcasm.
If that original post was your sarcasm, then nobody got that because you definitely suck at it
The problem here is that you think my joke was bad because the internet is filled with dumb people and you can't tell the difference. Now you realize it was a joke and see that it went over your head but instead of admitting that to yourself and taking a shot to your fragile ego, you instinctively go on the defensive and shout into cyberspace that it's not your fault at all, the joke-teller told a bad joke. As if anybody gives a shit, but it made you feel better.
"I'm smart! I would have gotten the joke if it was structured better! I would have gotten the sarcasm if the author would have put one of those handy little indicators that there was sarcasm involved!"
Yes, you probably would've. But people with a fully developed sense of humor can pick up on these things without being told. My comment was for those people. Hang in there. You'll eventually pick it up...maybe.
Dude, you are so rain on my wedding day.
"/s"? "/i"?
Or are you relying on my ability to recall Alanis Morisette without idiotic prompts?
You may be over thinking this.
Hey! Now ya know why you weren't completely sure :)
You do seem to grasp irony much better than sarcasm tho.
Perfect MGoBlog reply.
Lacking the wit to pick up on the original joke so you nitpick grammar to reclaim some feeling of superiority.
Sarcasm is using irony to mock, attack or insult. If you agree I used irony, and my intention was to insult the author, then by definition I used sarcasm. Thanks for confirming.
Now is the part where you go dig up some alternate definition of irony and/or sarcasm because your feelings are hurt which proves nothing more than the fact you're a pedantic dolt. Godspeed.
You mean the alternate that everyone agreed on a long time ago since the mocking manner of sarcasm is context dependent and usually needs voice inflections to convey?
Thus all of us in the internet 20 years ago decided to go with /s.
Guess you missed the META. /s
Well, I didn't. And all of Twitter didn't. So that's not quite "everybody". If you're talking about everybody HERE, then that's your thing. Feel free to continue with "/s". But it's not necessary unless you lack the ability to identify a joke.
Scroll down - Ihatebux made a joke post about how Dantonio's going to the Lions and Meyer will retire and open a Papa John's. He didn't "/s". After this nonsense, I jokingly replied as if I were a guy like you and was too stupid to see that it's a joke. Like he did here.
Ihatebux's joke below worked just fine for you without the "/s" because it's reference is in this post. Simple brains have the reference material right in front of their face. Mine struggled to hit home because I relied on Michigan fans recalling the comments of media blowhards from nearly 4 years ago. Since these posters didn't have the base material in front of their face, their brain failed to identify a ludicrous take and tie it to past information stored in their latent memory. They lacked the wit to make the joke work for them.
Once again, the problem lies in the fact that you and many others didn't get the "He'll leave Michigan because he's never stayed anywhere longer than 4 years" callback. That's essential to getting the joke. Those that remembered that and got the reference upvoted my post. There are plenty who did because that's the only way I've offset the horde of neg-idiots blasting that post back to near-zero.
I don't need "/s". The people who upvoted that post don't need "/s". You do. That's not my problem.
Great talk. This was really enlightening. (That was a test. Did you get it?)
Pink? Check.
Chalky? Check.
Diarrhea allows follows? Check.
Click
Bait
well it is that time of year time to see if you can hurt Michigan's recruiting with these ridiculous articles. Just say no! don't click
ESPN, they still on?
“We need content. Recycle some Harbaugh to the NFL hot take bullshit, that always gets hits. Man, summer is tough enough and then baseball takes a break. Thank god for Harbaugh.” - ESPN Writers/Program Directors
They have neither writers nor program directors: all fired.
I think Dantonio goes to the Lions next year and Urban retires and buys a Papa Johns pizza franchise.
Never happen - Lions just hired Patricia. And no chance Urban buys a Papa John's. He doesn't need the money and Papa John's is in turmoil.
Weren't you discussing poster's lack of sarcasm detection somewhere in this thread? Hmmm...
Ironic, no?
