CC: Cowherd Claim Discredited
Stop reacting to instant news claims. It's easier to wait until something trends than to force belief into every claim from every source.
We'll have a coach. Probably during the dead period. Not Tuesday. Aaron Rodgers R-E-L-A-X time
December 6th, 2014 at 11:27 PM ^
Didn't Hackett say to the team that they'll know who the new head coach is by the time they return from Holiday Break?
December 6th, 2014 at 11:30 PM ^
IIRC, he said that they'd know sometime after Christmas/winter break. It left the door open for Harbaugh after the NFL season (his last game, if he doesn't make the playoffs, would be December 28th)
December 6th, 2014 at 11:36 PM ^
No, he said the situation would in all likelihood be resolved before the players returned from break.
December 6th, 2014 at 11:27 PM ^
Color me surprised
December 7th, 2014 at 7:45 AM ^
"Color me surprised" was my first thought before clicking through the link.
If there was any - ANY - new, he would claim that he already knew. "Look at me, I was first to report this!"
December 7th, 2014 at 7:48 AM ^
And he'd be the only one who would Care he was right
December 6th, 2014 at 11:28 PM ^
Wait you're saying a shithead national radio host might have been bullshitting? Surely you jest.
Seriously why did anyone think Colin Cowherd was more clued in than, say, Sam Webb?
December 7th, 2014 at 2:33 PM ^
He sucks.
December 6th, 2014 at 11:28 PM ^
Oh, well this is truly surprising.
December 6th, 2014 at 11:28 PM ^
Still 30 minutes.
December 6th, 2014 at 11:28 PM ^
He said weekend... I'm guessing it's Stoops.. w/e at this point. I'm just tired of watching great football teams without Michigan being one of them.
December 6th, 2014 at 11:29 PM ^
Clearly, they have been looking to make a big splash after all - despite our best efforts, nobody could find enough on this Gill Helichick dude to post a coherent CC thread. We did allow every oppotunity for information to emerge, of course, just to be fair, but no one could confirm Cowherd's assertion and it later turned out to be cow dung anyeay.
December 6th, 2014 at 11:30 PM ^
Colin Cowherd having a radio and television career, or really any career outside of yelling at strippers while trying to double up on the lunch buffet, continues to boggle my mind. Nobody with two brain cells to rub together should EVER take him seriously.
December 6th, 2014 at 11:33 PM ^
Technically he said this weekend so we have tomorrow but he's trolling.
December 6th, 2014 at 11:37 PM ^
Here's all you need to know about Colin Cowherd.
This is from Dave Dameshek's former podcast, Daves of Thunder. He's on the phone with Dave Feeney, the co-host (the tone of the podcast is these two guys ribbing each other, fyi. They go back and forth in the beginning). If you don't know Dameshek, he's a goofy Pittsburgher who now works for NFL Network. He's exceptionally funny at what he does.
Anyway, he used to work for ESPN and had the "privilege" of meeting Cowherd. It was...bizarre. Here's what he had to say:
December 6th, 2014 at 11:43 PM ^
So what you are saying is that Aaron Rogers will be Michigan's next head coach?
December 7th, 2014 at 8:14 AM ^
I think the key to this whole conspiracy is in your sig... It just clicked while reading your comment. What if it's... BIAKABUTUUUKAAAAAA!!!!
December 6th, 2014 at 11:43 PM ^
I though we already concluded that Cowherd was trolling.
December 6th, 2014 at 11:43 PM ^
Never believed that douchebag anyway.
December 6th, 2014 at 11:45 PM ^
no surprise here, I hate cowherd.
December 6th, 2014 at 11:47 PM ^
Zellichick's offensive coordinator-- Gosh Nickzaniels.
December 6th, 2014 at 11:47 PM ^
Colin is a complete jackass.

Cowherd knows less than I do about everything on this planet. I told him once in a bathroom in Los Angeles. He simply walked away like a small child.
December 7th, 2014 at 10:57 AM ^
You, some random dude, insulted him in the bathroom, and he walked away. You think that's worthy of criticism? What would the adult thing have been for him to do, punch you in the jaw?
December 6th, 2014 at 11:49 PM ^
it has to have some supposed credibility to start with. Cowherd's claim was such obvious bullshit that it didn't need "discrediting," except for the naive, gullible saps who took it seriously.
December 6th, 2014 at 11:57 PM ^
Yep. His whole statement reeked of bullshit from the very beginning.
December 7th, 2014 at 12:11 AM ^
If there's one thing this gullible sap hates, it's being fucked with. Colin Cowherd is dead to me. (fortunately, I already hated the guy, so no major emotional output on my part needed).
December 6th, 2014 at 11:53 PM ^
He did an outstanding job of getting Michigan fans all over the Internet to obsess over him for a few days. We had like 8 threads in which he was the subject in a single day at one point.
December 6th, 2014 at 11:56 PM ^
5 minutes!!!!
December 6th, 2014 at 11:57 PM ^
Didn't he pretty much admit he was trolling when he said it was Belichick?
December 6th, 2014 at 11:59 PM ^
As I actually enjoy his show even if he is a tool. He puts on a good show everyday, IMO.
He did say this weekend so we have tomorrow right? But I bet nothing gets out. So I am pretty disappointed in him.
December 7th, 2014 at 12:02 AM ^
Cowherd is a useless talking head. The fact that anyone believed him is mind-boggling. I just don't understand how people can listen to that guy, let alone fall for his schtick

If you're referencing the "Rodgers is gay" rumors then this comment is brilliant

He said it will come out during the weekend. It's still the weekend so it can happen tomorrow. I don't think it will, but Sunday is still the weekend, right?
December 7th, 2014 at 12:13 AM ^
He said a surprising name would be floated as a candidate. And then he floated a surprising name as a candidate. We got the exact bullshit he said we would.
December 7th, 2014 at 8:37 AM ^
His tweet was in response to people asking, not his name he had in mind when he made the statement
December 7th, 2014 at 12:13 AM ^
It's incredible to me that people like Colin Cowherd have jobs in national sports media. What exactly is the qualification? Being an insufferable douche who trolls fanbases?
December 7th, 2014 at 12:32 AM ^
Insufferable douche who trolls fanbases: that sounds like most people in sports media these days. They've realized the best way to garner interest is to piss off the people who care.
December 7th, 2014 at 12:15 AM ^
Only thing that comes from a Cowherd, is a lot of BULLSHIT!
December 7th, 2014 at 8:36 AM ^
It wasn't so obvious for the 9-10 people who created threads in the aftermath. That's my point
December 7th, 2014 at 12:26 AM ^
Cowherd is a piece of shit who is the same type of person as those two guys we try not to speak of.
December 7th, 2014 at 12:27 AM ^
Thank god, I was really waiting for the answer. Good to know I can stop worrying. What a relief

The worst part for me was that I went in a meeting in Miami when he said it, so I didn't hear it, but I saw it on here. Unfortunately I also misinterpreted what I read (since I couldn't read on account of the traffic), and called my dad in Ohio to ask him to switch the TV to ESPN because there was a rumor that we had a coach. Nothing. What a douche. And I was thinking, "How the hell would Cowherd know?" Yet, I still called. Ugh...
Edit: I glanced at it while waiting for my car. I was NOT reading while driving in Miami traffic.
December 7th, 2014 at 12:50 AM ^
A post or two back, Brian had Carr and Harbaugh trying to put things on the mend. Then an article comes out a few days later with Carr proclaiming Harbaugh as his top choice. That seems to me to be fairly strong evidence that sump'in going on. I mean it was an ice field for years and years between them, right? Why work that out now unless there was a reason?
Unless that was all bunk and they made amends years ago. But if not... that seems a pretty strong indicator to me.
December 7th, 2014 at 12:54 AM ^
Why is this a post? We knew on Friday it was fake. At least I thought most people did when Cowherd said, "although his name rhymes w Till Zellicheck". You really waited all day today to see what the name was?
