Just wait until Saban tries to poach Jay! Oh wait...
Michigan has some good coaches, guys that other people want, but that list doesn’t include Pep or Jay.

He wanted Chris Partridge. Seriously.
He did get Dan Enos. And we now watch him, siting on a chair, working with the QBs on the Alabama sidelines.
Now Saban got Daxton Hill. The kids fantastic on video!! We will probably see him making some great plays by the end of next season.

We had to fight to keep zordich (sp) and brown as well. We had to fight to get drevno a serious look anywhere.
Clearly the D coaching staff is superior to the O coaching staff.
December 9th, 2018 at 11:27 AM ^
Yes he only hires the most elite of elite coaches like Doug Nussmeier and Steve Sarkesian. It has nothing to do with having 5* at every position.

This sure feels like Najee Harris, D’Shawn Hand and Isiah Prince all over again
December 9th, 2018 at 8:42 AM ^
...and Emil Ekiyor and Damien Harris and Alex Leatherwood and Eyabi Anoma, etc. Then you have Georgia......

Sucks. Technically, we never “had” Dax as verbal commitments are about as solid as jello.
The loss to OSU did almost irreparable damage. One would think that osu would be bleeding recruits after Meyer left, but that game left the feeling that Michigan May never balance the series.
Harbaugh has done a great job overall, but recruits listen to the Paul Finebaums and ESPN media personalities who suck at the teet of the SEC.
I’m so glad Gary chose to come to UM, but I’ve wondered if he ever looks back on a decision between Um and Clemson and wonders if he made the right decision. He’s not getting finishing his degree and could’ve played in the CFP twice. Winning on the national stage just seems to rectify everything with recruits.

I really wonder how the WR group feels. Is Oliver Martin happy with the number of targets he gets?
People were all pissed we didn’t recruit KJ Hamler after seeing how dynamic he is. Does anyone think he looks like that if he comes here? Michgian has some absolutely top level guys on the team and they’re not getting put into a position to succeed.
Why would other top level guys come after seeing that? Would you want your kid to make that choice?
December 9th, 2018 at 10:12 AM ^
I have to wonder how much longer Jim Harbaugh is going to watch the passing game underachieve. I think he tried to do something about it by hiring Dan Enos, and then Jim McElwain. I wish he'd make the clean cut and let Pep Hamilton go. There has GOT TO BE coaches out there who will immediately be better than Pep Hamilton. I agree with you about the great receivers at Michigan. They should be lighting it up, being a nightmare to secondaries.
December 9th, 2018 at 1:47 PM ^
I agree about Pep. All anyone can say about him is that he’s not total shit. Ok, he’s an average passing game coordinator and play caller. Now fire him and get someone above average.

Fuck bama

Please stop with the Bag men. They don’t need them and we look like Whiney Babies when folks try and point fingers.

Wrong. Saban was 7-6 in his first year of 2007. Between 2000-2006, Alabama had records of 3-8, 4-9, 6-6, and 6-7. There was even a 7-5 sprinkled in there during that span. Since that 2007 season of 7-6, the most losses Alabama has had has been 3 in 2010. So to say quit whining about bagmen is ridiculous. How else do they go from 7-8-9 loss seasons, to being a football machine? It is quite obvious what started happening around that program in 2007-08.

football recruit flips and school/program (underclassmen & grad) transfers are, and will continue to become more prevalent in the current NCAA model ...so get used to it

Isn't there a law against monopolies? There should be.

"come to 'bama and compete for National Championships.... or go to Michigan and hope you might beat ohio state next year" The only sales pitch Nick Satan needs.
We're talking about 18 year old kids.
Of course there is the occasional exception.
"Dad I want to go to USC, I want to be a Trojen."
"Tua, you're going to 'Bama.... don't make me take my belt off again!"
December 9th, 2018 at 11:59 AM ^
Man, so many kids want to be engineers these days.
December 9th, 2018 at 12:54 PM ^
How many 4-5 star DB’s can one team use!? One more I guess. After Dax and this guy I count 5 in this recruiting cycle for Bama. The rich are getting richer.

The Tide rolling out cash and girls it seems

At good schools backers donate buildings and scholarships rather than bag money.

They both were , will be "PAID" ,make NO mistake about it
