Hire Urban Meyer...He's a coaching savant
Yeah, yeah. He's a scumbag, blah, blah. So are all the other elite coaches. Just have a male grad student follow him around with a rules and regulations binder to try to keep him in check.
To the "leaders and best crowd" - we haven't won a B1G title in 15 years. Wake up, it's a new era, and the Harbaugh train has gone off the rails.
Meyer is slimy and arrogant enough to do this - especially if he feels OSU pushed him out, and I and I am slimy enough to welcome him with open arms.
Neg away. Time to get a proven winner.
September 21st, 2019 at 4:47 PM ^
That is never going to happen.
September 21st, 2019 at 4:48 PM ^
Fuck off.
September 21st, 2019 at 4:48 PM ^
Just have a male grad student follow him around with a rules and regulations binder to try to keep him in check.
Then why hire him?
(Also, Pitino is available for basketball.)
September 21st, 2019 at 4:57 PM ^
Right. His main value is his disregard for the regulations binder.
September 21st, 2019 at 4:48 PM ^
He’s not coming here
This has already been posted
Stop it.
September 21st, 2019 at 5:09 PM ^
I heard Keith Jackson passed away too.
September 21st, 2019 at 4:48 PM ^
Meyer is one of only a few coaches I would take over Harbaugh at this moment. The biggest issue is making a decision as a school, fan base, athletics department, and coaching staff that it is time to pay 5 stars to come to Michigan.
September 21st, 2019 at 4:52 PM ^
I'm in on paying 5 starts...
But Wisconsin and MSU has beaten Harbaugh coached teams multiple times without paying players. Yes, to be Clemson/Bama elite we would need to pay up.
But to be uncompetitive in against PSU, Wisconsin, and looking like crap against Army?....That's just shit coaching, not UM being too clean.
September 21st, 2019 at 4:54 PM ^
Michigan blew out PSU and Wisky just last year.
September 21st, 2019 at 5:06 PM ^
As the program is now we will be between 8-10 wins almost every year. If everything goes right we could compete for the playoffs. But all we would have to do isn’t start buying a few elite talents every year, and our fortune would change. Come on people. Let’s all agree it’s time.
September 21st, 2019 at 5:10 PM ^
I'd take anybody over Harbaugh right now. He has no idea what he's doing. I love the idea of Mike Leach. If Urban wanted the job, give it to him. At least we would be prepared to play a game.
September 21st, 2019 at 4:50 PM ^
What on Earth gives you the idea that Meyer would be interested in coaching Michigan? He won’t even say the word “Michigan”.
September 21st, 2019 at 5:08 PM ^
Lots of reasons to think he would want to coach Michigan. I believe he cares about himself most, and if he won big at Michigan he would be the best coach of all time. Imagine National titles at 3 schools. Imagine if he dominated OSU from the other side. It would be legendary.
September 21st, 2019 at 5:21 PM ^
Michigan will never hire him.
September 21st, 2019 at 5:24 PM ^
Right, because Michigan has an AD that barely knows what he’s doing
September 21st, 2019 at 5:39 PM ^
Maybe he could bring Bill Belichick with him.
September 21st, 2019 at 4:50 PM ^
I would take Urban in a second. You cannot ignore how good of a coach he is, character concerns aside.
I actually think a place like Michigan is perfect for him. He finds himself at coaching schools that take liberties with the rules. He would get support at Michigan to do it the right way and I think he would thrive.
September 21st, 2019 at 4:58 PM ^
You'd take someone who would never in ten million years come here? Big stance.
Meyer isn't going to the chief rival of his past school under any circumstances.Silly. Now USC or Notre Dame, that would be a different story.
September 21st, 2019 at 5:22 PM ^
I understand all you are saying. But I don't know man, I'm starting to believe it could happen.
September 21st, 2019 at 5:07 PM ^
"The right away" is why UM is about a decade or more behind the elite programs. Fuck "the right way."
September 21st, 2019 at 4:50 PM ^
whatever his other faults, the man can coach la program and get to the top of the mountain.
September 21st, 2019 at 4:51 PM ^
Hahahaha good one!!!
Urban would get a good laugh outta the suggestion too
September 21st, 2019 at 4:52 PM ^
We should 100% hire Urban Meyer!
September 21st, 2019 at 4:53 PM ^
All your doing is making people laugh their asses off at us as a fanbase for even thinking that's a possibility... like he would ever even consider doing that.
September 21st, 2019 at 4:53 PM ^
I would KILL to have Meyer as coach. He’d be a massive improvement over Harbaugh. You know it’s true.
September 21st, 2019 at 4:57 PM ^
Can we just count Aaron Hernandez's multiple homicides as pre-payment....then you won't have ti kill anyone.
September 21st, 2019 at 4:56 PM ^
We don’t deserve him.
September 21st, 2019 at 4:56 PM ^
Why does this hypothetical trash keep getting repeated?
It's not happening, nor should it. But OSU fans just eat these posts up to laugh about how some Michigan fans want this to happen. Fuck off.
September 21st, 2019 at 5:01 PM ^
Maybe Mattison was right. He joined the darkside, maybe we should too and hire someone from the otherside so we can actually win football games and not rest on our laurels of being a great university.
September 21st, 2019 at 5:06 PM ^
Madison didn't "join the dark side" - he was always a free agent going to whoever would pay him more, with no loyalty to anyone but himself. How quickly people forget him bolting UM thus first time to be DC at Notre Dame and play against us.
September 21st, 2019 at 5:22 PM ^
Football games in the grand scheme of things don’t matter.
September 21st, 2019 at 5:07 PM ^
Many of these posts are not made by real UM fans.
September 21st, 2019 at 4:57 PM ^
If you really want to go down that road, then just admit that you're fine with recruiting violations, paying players, and all the other shady activities that go with it.
September 21st, 2019 at 4:58 PM ^
Totally ok with paying players. Many already get paid at UM...just not SEC level shenanigans.
Not ok with having criminals and wife-beater coaches on staff.
Would need the cleanest version of Meyer yet.
September 21st, 2019 at 4:59 PM ^
No one cares. They care about championships.
September 21st, 2019 at 5:00 PM ^
I am perfectly fucking fine with that. I want to win. Fuck all that holier than thou bullshit.
September 21st, 2019 at 5:10 PM ^
I'm OK with all of that. It's what wins games. I guess you're fine with being a mediocre program.
September 21st, 2019 at 5:11 PM ^
I am now on the dark side. OSU suffers no consequences other than winning for all their sins.
Pay up and win.
September 21st, 2019 at 5:01 PM ^
We aren’t fucking hiring urban Meyer, quit with this stupid fucking suggestion, it’s NOT happening.
September 21st, 2019 at 5:12 PM ^
Never heard of a coach named “Bo?”
September 21st, 2019 at 5:03 PM ^
#1 Harbaugh isn't going to get fired - he may quit for the NFL if the offer and team are right
if #1 happens, I'd hope that we'd see if Bob Stoops would want to come back to coaching. Not sure we'd pry away Dan Mullen or Kirby Smart. Stoops was 11-7 vs. his biggest rival and is hte only coach to win each of the four big name bowls.
September 21st, 2019 at 5:13 PM ^
It's foolish to think Harbaugh couldn't get fired... stop pretending your so certain it won't happen. This team is falling apart.
It feels like if Harbaugh got fired today that the team would play with less pressure and they may actually be able to win some important games and the players could leave the program having some good memories. Right now there's almost zero chance this team can beat any decent team with a pulse.
It would be smart for the AD to let him go now... but I'm sure he will get at least a few more weeks before that decision is made.
September 21st, 2019 at 6:33 PM ^
Full disclosure.. known OSU fan. With that aside, are you seriously implying a #3 Georgia led by Kirby Smart would be interested in a UM coaching vacancy? Or a #9 Florida led by Dan Mullen? Stoops might be an option.. and for the reasons stated elsewhere, Urban's love of winning preceeds anything else. For what it's worth, I thought UM would come out sharp today.. I took UM and the points. But holy hell, what a mark of your fan base when you think your program, as it sits, can poach top-ten coaches. SMDH.
September 21st, 2019 at 5:03 PM ^
He would probably go undefeated with this roster
September 21st, 2019 at 5:03 PM ^
Go root for OSU or any SEC schools if that is how you truly feel.
September 21st, 2019 at 5:06 PM ^
I'll continue rooting for UM, and root for them to find a competent coaching staff. Thanks for the offer though.
September 21st, 2019 at 5:13 PM ^
Hey get your head out of your ass please. We are a disaster. Stop these smart ass responses
September 21st, 2019 at 5:17 PM ^
We just found Dave Brandon's alternate account.
September 21st, 2019 at 6:39 PM ^
Nope - just a fan/alumnus with a conscience and doesn't support the "win at all costs" mantra.
September 21st, 2019 at 7:00 PM ^
Awesome.
Me too... I don't support the win at all costs selling of one's soul too.
But don't be like Brandon or WD and tell someone to essentially go somewhere else when you don't agree with them.
