Clarence Boddicker to go after Halle Berry

"I feel really good about this," Boddicker was quoted as saying. "I'm gonna throw so much charm at baby girl she can't say no. Expect wedding invitations in that inbox shortly, slick."

This is funny!  Way to go Clarence!

 

I notice some of the NFL beat writers pointing to the old theme of "Harbaugh moves around after four years".

 

Note to all you thumb sucking, infantile, stupid NFL beat writers:  The "Harbaugh moves around" meme is tired and totally fucking wrong.. He moved from USD to Stanford to the San Francisco 49ers. If one of your colleagues went from the Cedar Rapids Gazette, spends four years there, goes to the Indianapolis Star for four years, and then goes to the New York Times, would you say said friend can "only last four years in a job"?  There is an obvious job improvement course that Harbaugh has been on.  Yeah, he got bumped from the 49ers.  What, pray tell, have the 49ers done since he left?  Please, tell me.  The only thing they are competing for consistently is the first pick in the draft.  Harbaugh leaving the 49ers is an indictment of the front office, not him.  So, NFL writers,  shut the fuck up with your tired, stupid, inane and totally wrong meme.

 

PS NFL writers-your league is dying.  I have no idea why, deeply skeptical of the also tired anthem protest excuse, but dying it is, no doubt.  Check out the crowd attendance....

I think the Miami owner told Harbaugh to build up our program, win some B1G titles get into the playoffs and may be win a NC, then in 6 or 7 years he can coach the Dolphins. I doubt Harbaugh goes anywhere else.

There is only word to describe the Jet's pursuit of Harbaugh: Desperate. 

Why the heck would Harbaugh ever entertain leaving his "Camelot:" for a s shitstorm that is the Jets?

 

To the Jets: Stop chasing after the wind and hire Mike Mccarthy instead.

Does The Donald own any interest in the Jets?  

Inane articles like the current one regarding Jim Harbaugh make me question how narcissistic  their owners must be.

Cowherd was talking about this last week how a team was gonna go after harbaugh really hard. So glad to find out it’s the miserable jets. But really it doesn’t matter who it is... he’s not leaving. He states publicly it for everyone yet the talk doesn’t stop. I love how much our coach moves the needle and yet people claim he’s not a good coach.

The only reason he would ever go back to the NFL is to get a super bowl and the Jets are not anywhere close to even making the playoffs.

Few things things here. Green Bay and Cleveland chatter, Harbaugh says no, no interest but, the Jets.... the Jets have a shot? Wouldn't you be required to live near New Jersey at least part of the year? Could you imagine Harbaugh on the Jersey Shore?

At some point Harbaugh may go back to the NFL. I could see that, and I wouldn't mind it so long as he wins us a few Big Ten titles, smacks OSU around some, and hopefully a national title to go with it. Point is, the time for him to go back to the NFL is not now.

This is going to happen every year from now on, as predicted by the wiser among us three years ago.  There will always be off-season talk about some NFL team coming hard after Harbaugh, and in response, everyone on this board trying to reassure themselves that it can't happen, making lists of reasons why he would never leave, reasons that will only be valid until they aren't.  

Don't see any way Harbaugh bolts this year, but if he ever does, it will be unexpected, and for reasons that make no sense to you.  Count on that.

I see ND getting blown out. BK realizing this year was the best he can do, and exiting.

Meanwhile, JH stays until the job is done, maybe beyond. Tom Brady retires as a player, and takes an assistants job. He is then groomed for the HC spot, which he takes over in 10 years. 

Then I have great sex, and die in my sleep.

And on ESPN the SEC slappies  are reporting that Dan Mullen will outcoach him in the Peach bowl. I have never seen a coach get this much criticism from his current job but wanted so badly for a NFL position.

As a Michigan and Jets fan:

1. The Jets have to try to swing for the fences and it would be bad if they didnt at least try.

2. With that said no way Harbaugh goes to the Jets or any other NFL team. He just has too much fun teaching kids that will listen and not deal with the personalities in the NFL.

3. I do think Stephen Ross will donate another sizeable check to Michigan in order for this not to happen because he doesn't want him to leave Michigan or be in the AFC East.

So apparently they didn’t get the memo.  I used to get worried now I’m like this is kind of funny.  I believe he is pretty well set on dollars.  I believe he is in the perfect scenario he is basically his own boss. That doesn’t happen no matter what they put on paper in the nfl he will still have someone he will have to answer too.

If Jim Harbaugh didn’t want the Indy job where he was a former player, and had his star college QB coming back with his type of personnel, then he’s not going to New York where he has no ties and to a team with very little talent.

I would think that if some team came at him with a crazy offer he'd at least look at it.

What would it take to get his attention? $12 mill+ per year? $15 mill?

The Jets' owners need to read MGoBoard before throwing their money away. Harbaugh's a terrible coach, can't judge talent and has no idea how to design an effective offense. They should listen to those who know better.

I don't see Harbaugh leaving for a long time. He would forever be viewed as a quitter, as someone who couldn't get it done on the biggest stage, who crapped the bed against OSU and Meyer, who never "won" anything. The only way he moves on is if he has clearly established dominance and won at least one, more likely several, national championships at Michigan. The one thing I will say is that I think this gives him plenty of bargaining room at Michigan. He can always go elsewhere, as there is plenty of demand. The other thing that completely boggles my mind is Michigan fans, here and elsewhere, who want another coach to replace Harbaugh. We may not be happy, but if he doesn't get it done, no one is ever going to succeed here.

Lol like he'd even want to step into that tire-fire. Work under Woody Johnson and whatever terrible GM he hires to "fix" a bad QB prospect in D'Arnold?

No one wants that job.
