Cris Carter claims “to have sources that say Harbaugh is looking for a way out of Michigan”
On First Things First this morning, the former Buckeye states that Harbaugh is looking at the Packers and Browns HC position to try to find an exit strategy from Ann Arbor.
Mighty funny how he drops this the bit of news the day after Urban leaves town. Haven’t heard a peep of this anywhere else. Looks like people in Columbus are realizing we have the best coach in the division now and want him gone ASAP!

His source is the "faux john Gruden" facebook account.
December 5th, 2018 at 8:03 AM ^
Carter probably can't tell the difference between Jim and John.
December 5th, 2018 at 8:58 AM ^
There is your answer, if Jim would go to Green Bay. John would be our next coach.
December 5th, 2018 at 8:03 AM ^
Fabricating 101 is a class at OSU.
December 5th, 2018 at 8:46 AM ^
No. It’s Fabricating 423; it’s a required senior level journalism course @tOSU. Their final weedout class before the bunny senior elective classes. He set the curves in this class just like his predecessor Kirk Herbstreet.
December 5th, 2018 at 9:27 AM ^
Why do you give them the credit of calling them "tOSU"? The 't' (for 'the') is NOT part of the school name. It was started by NFL alumni introducing themselves on TV game intros. We should not be giving them that little bit of street cred and relevance.
December 5th, 2018 at 8:04 AM ^
Very ironic. No scenario with Jim trying to leave Ann Arbor resonates with me. He and his family appear very happy here.
December 5th, 2018 at 8:59 AM ^
I’m not saying harbaugh is leaving but that is pretty much what every fan says right before their coach leaves. These guys move their families constantly for their careers, it’s part of the job description and moving your family is never going to be the reason a coach doesn’t leave.
i honestly believe getting housed by osu shook him a little bit which is the only reason I would give this a 1 percent chance
December 5th, 2018 at 8:05 AM ^
Chris is off the wagon. Being a dumbass is a hell of a drug.
December 5th, 2018 at 8:06 AM ^
Sigh. We go through this bullshit every friggin' year.
December 5th, 2018 at 8:07 AM ^
Lol. Anything to try and stir up shit just to stem the fallout at osu with meyer leaving. What a loser.
December 5th, 2018 at 8:07 AM ^
It's funny that people on a message board know EXACTLY what Harbaugh thinks and wants, but a guy in the media has no clue...
December 5th, 2018 at 8:11 AM ^
It's funny that your account is 5 days old.
December 5th, 2018 at 8:13 AM ^
You haven't watched much ESPN have you.
December 5th, 2018 at 8:16 AM ^
We're not exactly talking about Bob Woodward here.
December 5th, 2018 at 8:23 AM ^
Well, that would be a plus for ole Cris Carter! LOL!
December 5th, 2018 at 8:18 AM ^
That's right. Remember two years ago when Cowherd knew Harbaugh was heading to the Rams?
Jive turkey.
December 5th, 2018 at 8:24 AM ^
Or when every single major media outlet knew that he was going to go to Oakland?
December 5th, 2018 at 8:21 AM ^
We have to consider the source and the timing of the rumor.
Chris Carter probably has contacts associated with Michigan and maybe even within Harbaugh's camp, but this info. would likely have been leaked already from someone more closely connected.
December 5th, 2018 at 8:27 AM ^
a guy in the media has no clue...
That's pretty much standard operating procedure.

Chancre: a painless genital ulcer most commonly formed during the primary stage of syphilis. Chancres transmit the sexually transmissible disease of syphilis through direct physical contact. These ulcers usually form on or around the anus, mouth, penis and vagina.
December 5th, 2018 at 8:55 AM ^
What the hell? Great choice for a username
December 5th, 2018 at 2:38 PM ^
This is what is in Urban's head
December 5th, 2018 at 9:35 AM ^
"in the media..." LOL
December 5th, 2018 at 8:08 AM ^
This is also the guy who told NFL rookies to designate a member of the crew as the fall guy when shit goes sideways.
December 5th, 2018 at 8:12 AM ^
You’re saying you don’t have a fall guy? Hate to break it to you but you are your crew’s fall guy.
December 5th, 2018 at 9:04 AM ^
Same guy who once said Calvin Johnson wasn’t a top 5 WR at the time in the NFL in the middle of his prime....later on that season Calvin went on to break the NFL single season receiving yards record.
Smart guy that Cris Carter is!
December 5th, 2018 at 8:10 AM ^
Just said on the show, he’s a 3rd tier coach and haven’t won anything. Lol he scared!
December 5th, 2018 at 8:31 AM ^
And yet he says in the same breath that the top NFL teams are trying to sign him.
He's pissing into the wind that's created from his own hot air.
December 5th, 2018 at 8:11 AM ^
Good one......good one, you almost had me there, until you said "Browns HC". Bwahahaha
Charlie Wies wouldn't take that job!
December 5th, 2018 at 8:14 AM ^
Charlie Weis would take ANY job, as long as there was a big buyout if he got fired.
December 5th, 2018 at 8:15 AM ^
Not if, but when.
December 5th, 2018 at 8:29 AM ^
Don’t laugh. Surprisingly the Browns have great YOUNG talent. He could be interested if the owners stay out of his way.
Not saying this will happen but it could be an escape valve.
December 5th, 2018 at 8:32 AM ^
He has great young talent here. He just has to let it do its thing.
December 5th, 2018 at 8:42 AM ^
Escape what? Leave your alma mater, who you've ended three of your four seasons ranked, twice in the top 10, for a team that has averaged one winning record per decade in the past 20 years? Oh yeah, and if he was looking for an 'outlet' or 'escape', would that be because of pressure from the fan base? Yeah, that would be less in Cleveland. There's no doubt they've got talent.... they also have a great track record of squandering their talent.
Are you hitting lines with Chris Carter?
December 5th, 2018 at 10:33 AM ^
And after just having gone through the transition recruiting worm hole ...
December 5th, 2018 at 8:13 AM ^
This is all I have to say about the matter
December 5th, 2018 at 10:28 AM ^
The dude has always looked stoned, his entire life.
Must be a reason . . .
December 5th, 2018 at 8:15 AM ^
You can take the man out of OSU, but you can't take OSU out of the man.....
As you were.
December 5th, 2018 at 8:17 AM ^
Bush league
December 5th, 2018 at 8:19 AM ^
It’s this simple, Harbaugh and Michigan have a good season, “Harbaugh is headed back to the NFL now!”
Harbaugh and Michigan have a “meh” season, “He’s overrated!” And crickets on the NFL stuff.
Could he leave? Sure. Will he? I kinda doubt it at this juncture.
December 5th, 2018 at 9:55 AM ^
But when the "cant beat rivals" meme pipes up, he's frustrated and looking for a way out of A2.
December 5th, 2018 at 8:25 AM ^
Seems CC is trying to help quell the losses in recruiting by helping osu negative recruit. And he may have a source, but not the right Harbaugh...Both would be good landing spots for John.
December 5th, 2018 at 8:28 AM ^
Yeah, because Ohio State guys have such a great record on calling Michigan coaching changes.
December 5th, 2018 at 9:03 AM ^
I just talked to Michigan head coach Les Miles and he agrees
December 5th, 2018 at 10:29 AM ^
Don't even joke.
December 5th, 2018 at 8:30 AM ^
Buckeye renewed recruiting strategy since Meyer "retired". I mention this yesterday on the another thread. Took one day to start Harbaugh to NFL rumors. If you don't think there hasn't been a huge shift in the B1G in the last 24 hours, you are mistaken. Like it or not, and it is painful to write this, Meyer is one of the all time great college coaches. Short of Nick Saban, anyone you hire will be less than Meyer. Within three years, Buckeye message boards will look like Michigan's after an OSU loss. OSU is still loaded and will be very good next year. Any competent coach will win 10 games with that roster next year.
I find it comical that Day "wins" three games without Meyer and people think there will be not much fall off, that OSU will just reload year after year. Go tell that to USC, go tell that to the fans of Bama from 1997 to 2006. Yeah, even us Michigan fans from 1983 to 2000 would have never thought The Game would look like this for the last 18 years.
December 5th, 2018 at 8:37 AM ^
Historically, there is not a great track record of coaches replacing legends. It is almost always a step down, with only a small handful of exceptions.
Those guys being replaced were legends for a reason. They don't grow own trees.
December 5th, 2018 at 8:51 AM ^
Yeah, Day may end up being a very good coach. It is still highly unlikely he is one of the greatest of all time like Meyer. It is almost impossible for there not to be some sort of drop off. It might not be a huge drop, but the differences between the teams at the top is not that large, and even a small drop can make a big difference.
