Albert Breer thinks Greg Schiano will be the hire
In a guest spot on the Gresh & Zo program on 98.5 The Sports Hub in Boston, the NFL network's Albert Breer projected that Greg Schiano will be the next Michigan head coach. He indicated that Schiano had been offered the job back in 2007, which he declined at first, but later tried to pursue, at which point Michigan had already proceeded too far with Rich-Rod.
Now, I know Breer is an NFL reporter and an admitted (unabashed) OSU supporter, but the suggestion that Schiano may be the next guy made me almost lose my lunch. Figured I'd see what everyone else thinks...

Absolutely batshit crazy suggestion from a national PROFESSIONAL football reporter.
Shocking.
December 3rd, 2014 at 3:20 PM ^
Well, I just lost my lunch.
Thanks for this rumor.
December 3rd, 2014 at 4:11 PM ^
keep your mouth shut.
December 3rd, 2014 at 2:07 PM ^
cosigned.
Who the fuck is Albert Breer and why does anyone thing he has the slightly clue as to who Michigan will hire
December 3rd, 2014 at 1:58 PM ^
burn this mother down!!!!
December 3rd, 2014 at 1:59 PM ^
FUCK NO
December 3rd, 2014 at 2:35 PM ^
of that gif shall haunt my dreams forever...
December 3rd, 2014 at 1:59 PM ^
I think I'm having dinner at 10 tonight.
December 3rd, 2014 at 2:00 PM ^
Schiano has the 3rd best odds at Bovada FWIW. Miles won't get an offer, Harbaugh says no, and UM settles for Schiano. This is how I see this whole situation playing out. Plus Schiano will come cheap and that will help Schlissel sleep at night.
December 3rd, 2014 at 2:03 PM ^
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Jones third best odds right now? Bleh.
December 3rd, 2014 at 2:09 PM ^
A Schiano hire will cause a bigger shit storm and divide the fan base even more than RR did. No way in hell this happens. And if Schlissel is looking for a "cheap" hire he can do a lot better than Schiano.
December 3rd, 2014 at 2:28 PM ^
I dont see it causing a divide. I see every Michigan fan, Muggles and Wizards alike, uniting in their hate for the hire.
December 3rd, 2014 at 2:35 PM ^
You're probably right. Hiring him might actually unite the fanbase baecause of the pure hatred for him.
December 3rd, 2014 at 3:29 PM ^
Hey, a coach we can all hate together!
(He'll probably end up being the best coach in the history of the school)
December 3rd, 2014 at 2:16 PM ^
Why do people think Schiano is the third choice? In what way beyond 2007 has Schiano ever been connected to the program? At this point it's just mindless momentum from lazy reporters and terrible websites whoring for clicks.
December 3rd, 2014 at 3:05 PM ^
To me, it seems like someone in the media floated Schiano as a "good fit" for Michigan and the rest of them used the "lemming approach" to "journalism." If Schiano was hired, David Brandon would be laughing because the fanbase would hate someone worse than they hate him.
December 3rd, 2014 at 2:30 PM ^
You do know that Vegas odds ≠ Hackett's list, right?
December 3rd, 2014 at 2:01 PM ^
Don't want.
December 3rd, 2014 at 2:01 PM ^
Sweet baby Jesus no
December 3rd, 2014 at 2:03 PM ^
My thoughts exactly...
December 3rd, 2014 at 2:02 PM ^
Don't want to believe him. Not going to.
December 3rd, 2014 at 2:05 PM ^
Do we really need another protest to let Hackett and Co. know hiring Schiano would be unacceptable? At first I laughed that option off but now it seems to be picking up steam. I'm terrified at the thought of seeing him run out of the tunnel and slapping that banner.
December 3rd, 2014 at 2:05 PM ^
Writers don't know shit. Hackett is Fort Knox. These are just wild guesses.
December 3rd, 2014 at 2:10 PM ^
But...but...but the two biggest douchebags - Henson and something called the Detroit Sports Rag - have been "all over this UM stuff."
December 3rd, 2014 at 2:21 PM ^
Gregg Henson is reliable only on the premise that he is unreliable.
December 3rd, 2014 at 2:06 PM ^
Hahaha, if this happens I'm just going to find a new team to root for.
December 3rd, 2014 at 2:11 PM ^
I'll never stop being a UM fan but I feel you. Even with the basketball team on the rise I've always been football first. That could change with this potential hire.
December 3rd, 2014 at 4:10 PM ^
I agree, it would take something so turrrible for that to happen ... and hiring Schiano might just be that.
December 3rd, 2014 at 2:06 PM ^
Lol we aren't going to hire Greg Schiano.
December 3rd, 2014 at 2:07 PM ^
When Schiano was first offered, that was 2 ADs ago, 2 coaches ago and when Schiano was a hot name in coaching. Now he is a former (somewhat decent) college coach who bombed in the NFL. So in summary, if this Breer guy's basis for this is that we've offered him in the past and that Schiano is available and interested, well then he probably should not be seen as anyone who deserves to be listened to for a moment.
December 3rd, 2014 at 2:09 PM ^
We already hired one guy with an average record from a lower tier school (thanks Delany) and look how well that worked out.
December 3rd, 2014 at 2:56 PM ^
Like every other Michigan fan with an ounces of intelligence I want my childhood hero to be the coach.
But Gary Schiano bombing in the NFL may or may not show that he would be a bad coach in the NCAA. Pete Carroll at the Jets and Nick Saban at Miami are both examples. Hell even being a crappy college coach at one place doesn't mean you suck, look at Rich Rod. Losing can build on itself just like winning.
December 3rd, 2014 at 2:07 PM ^
Oh yeah! Since they offered him in 2007 that surely means they will offer him 7 years later! Nothing changes in 7 years!
December 3rd, 2014 at 2:08 PM ^
I just told someone earlier today that I have the most uneasy feeling that Schiano is going to the guy.
I hope it's a nightmare and I'll wake up.
December 3rd, 2014 at 2:08 PM ^
You got no frame of reference.

December 3rd, 2014 at 2:09 PM ^
He is a Buckeye slappy. Of course he is going to say that the guy Michigan fans dont want, will be the next coach. It's not too far fetched, but I'll take what this asshat has to say with a decent sized grain of salt.
December 3rd, 2014 at 3:00 PM ^
He was talking about how bad the Michigan facilities are last night. Said no coach will come to Michigan because of the second rate facilities. I am pretty sure he just makes stuff up as he talks and it never is a good thing when it is Michigan.
December 3rd, 2014 at 4:01 PM ^
Umm I watched College Football Live yesterday and Galloway said the Michigan job was by far the best because of their facilities. Where did you see this at?
December 3rd, 2014 at 2:11 PM ^
Hackett: no. We can do far better. In fact, hell no. No, in fact, hell fucking no.

no way in hell does this happen. Why think something so incredibly stupid?
December 3rd, 2014 at 2:13 PM ^
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hello no. I will not renew my season tickets if this happens. Please God No!!!
