CC: Brett McMurphy says Mullen, RR not being considered for FL job
November 17th, 2014 at 3:07 PM ^
Bob Stoops to Florida is by bold prediction.
November 17th, 2014 at 3:17 PM ^
John Madden will be his OC and Bill Parcells will be his DC. Everybody knows.
November 17th, 2014 at 3:43 PM ^
I mean, the guy even said it's a bold prediction. Do we have to mock everything that seems even a little implausible? There's nothing crazy about Bob Stoops, a former Florida DC, possibly being interested in Florida after 15 years in Oklahoma and at a time when people there seem to be getting bored with him.
Would I be a little surprised if Stoops left Oklahoma for Florida? Yes. Is it a stupid idea to an extent even approaching Gruden, etc.? No, it's not. I'd be less surprised if Stoops makes this move than I was when RR moved to Michigan in 2007.
November 17th, 2014 at 4:32 PM ^
At least the OP didn't end with "Discuss".

Bill Cowher is the S&C coach.
November 17th, 2014 at 3:33 PM ^
FootballScoop was talking yesterday about how they don't think Stoops would consider Florida because his brother coaches at Kentucky. They pulled out quotes from a game against FSU a couple of years ago when Mark Stoops was there and how Bob called it the most miserable games (home and home) he ever coached in (Oklahoma won both). Said it was terrible having to coach against his brother unless they were in the National Championship game.
November 17th, 2014 at 4:20 PM ^
This may be true, but I think Mark may be off to a new school within the next couple years.

...book it.
November 17th, 2014 at 3:09 PM ^
This means we have a better shot of getting Rich Rodriguez than some of us thought.
November 17th, 2014 at 4:05 PM ^
believe I miss the Rich Rod days. But I do, I miss them.
Come home Rich. Just come home.
(I mean, he is kind of a "Michigan man" now, right?)
November 17th, 2014 at 5:01 PM ^
how many would like it if RR came back to A2? How many would back the move if Harbaugh refused us?
At first glance, maybe. . . but the idea of failing twice is just too damned much to consider.

HALOL so loud my dog was looking at me funny
November 17th, 2014 at 3:11 PM ^
Is all over twitter saying Michigan and JH is basically a done deal
November 17th, 2014 at 3:47 PM ^
it would be far more interesting if the muppets talked back.
November 17th, 2014 at 3:12 PM ^
Sounds legit
November 17th, 2014 at 5:20 PM ^
The funny thing is though...the two big predictions he had came true. I believe he was one of the first to say Hoke (or maybe it was RR) would be hired, and he also said the Brandon firing was inevitable.
Not saying, just saying...

Again, let's revisit.
Jim Henson = creator of endless entertainment for children and adults alike
Drew Henson = creator, indirectly, of the greatest QB of all time (by pushing Tom Terrific never to miss a throw in practice for 2 years)
Greg Henson = douchebag
November 17th, 2014 at 3:46 PM ^
I will never again confuse my Hensons after that informative post.
November 17th, 2014 at 4:53 PM ^
November 17th, 2014 at 3:19 PM ^
Greg Henson; Kirk Herbstreit 2014.
lets just call him GERG
November 17th, 2014 at 3:26 PM ^
Except that one actually has a degree of established credibility and the other... does not
November 17th, 2014 at 3:27 PM ^
November 17th, 2014 at 3:39 PM ^
I mean how can we not believe the "new putz of the afternoon drive"?
November 17th, 2014 at 3:50 PM ^
Beavers. Just beavers.

Stipulated: I don't know the first damn thing about him as a sports-talk radio guy, and maybe he's a raving lunatic on air and/or a complete jerk in real life; I have no idea. The first I've heard of him has been in recent months w/all the speculation re: Brandon's job status, and our collective ongoing Harbaugh obsession. But I've been following his website and Twitter for the past couple of months, and he was pretty damn on the spot w/r/t info on Brandon's job status, and has generally been careful, as has Brian here, with distinguishing what he knows for certain from what he is hearing from reliable sources but can't confirm. He also seems (and sure, "seems" doesn't equal "is") pretty well connected both with people in or associated w/Michigan's athletics department, and with former teammates/associates of Harbaugh. Based on everything I've seen so far, if Henson says there is serious interest on both sides (Harbaugh and UM) in making Jim Harbaugh the next coach here, I'm inclined to take it seriously -- not as a slam-dunk, but as a good sign nonetheless.
If I'm wrong to do so, can someone explain why? (I'm genuinely curious; if Henson's been totally wrong about something like this in the past, etc., let me know.)
November 17th, 2014 at 4:14 PM ^
November 17th, 2014 at 4:24 PM ^
second guessing this guys "sources" and you are probably in the same boat. Besides, the last 2 big changes that Michigan has gone through, this guy called it spot on, and 1st.
So, until he get's it wrong, he's got my attention
November 17th, 2014 at 10:54 PM ^
Don't take my word for it, you can read why his content isn't allowed on this blog for yourself.

Is awful and you shouldn't listen to him.
November 17th, 2014 at 4:03 PM ^
But, he does seem to have decent sources at UM. He was pretty much spot on with the hiring of Hoke and the Brandon stuff.
November 17th, 2014 at 6:37 PM ^
And as far as Brandon goes, I would say anyone interested in the saga could have told you that he was going to go in the end. I'm not going to give any extra credit to GERGG for saying something everyone else thought was goin to happen.
November 17th, 2014 at 3:49 PM ^
Anyone who spells Greg with 3 G's should be committed.
November 17th, 2014 at 4:46 PM ^
There is a lot of room in the 2015 class.
/s
November 17th, 2014 at 4:40 PM ^
That's crazy. Go look at SF's schedule. They will finish at 11-5 or 10-6 and in the playoffs. All bets are off.
November 17th, 2014 at 4:53 PM ^
November 17th, 2014 at 5:26 PM ^
they are a good team and people wrote them off way too early. For the Niners to miss the playoff would require Seattle and either the Lions or the Philly/Dallas loser to beat them out. I could easily see two of those three teams pooping the bed down the stretch.
November 17th, 2014 at 3:11 PM ^
How could they not consider Mullen? That seems stupid.
November 17th, 2014 at 3:14 PM ^
will not coach Ohio State
Nick Saban will not leave Louisiana State
Nick Saban will not coach Alabama
November 17th, 2014 at 3:17 PM ^
...why would Florida not want Mullen?
November 17th, 2014 at 3:23 PM ^
Between him and th AD.
November 17th, 2014 at 3:30 PM ^
Plus their AD wants NFL experience.
November 17th, 2014 at 3:38 PM ^
Mullen and the Florida AD don't see eye to eye.
November 17th, 2014 at 6:29 PM ^
Not only is there bad blood between Foley and Mullen, but Foley apparently dislikes the spread in spite of having hired Meyer (could have something to do with the way he left the program) hence RR not getting consideration. They will likely hire a pro retread or someone like Dan Quinn or Teryl Ausin with both NFL and UF ties.
