January 14th, 2015 at 8:14 AM ^
I totally missed the last line. It was too far down. I'm an American. Don't have time to look that far down. /s
switched my downvote to up.
January 13th, 2015 at 9:56 PM ^

January 13th, 2015 at 9:18 PM ^
In 20 years when jay is the hottest coach hel come back to michigan like his dad taught him to
January 14th, 2015 at 9:25 AM ^
Effin' A, Cotton.
January 13th, 2015 at 9:49 PM ^
Serously. I mean, does Jay have any experience doing much of anything? Welcome n all, but I don't get it. If he wasn't Jim's son I'd be wondering why in the world an offensive QC assistant for the Ravens was picked up as our TE coach
January 14th, 2015 at 12:00 AM ^
And, unfortunately, Chris Clark will probably agree as well.

Kendal Briles is 32 and in his 7th year at Baylor. Doing some quick math tells me he was 25 when hired. So what did Kendal do before being hired? He was in business. He had no coaching experience when he was hired. It's essentially the same dynamic and, if anything, Harbaugh is more justified in hiring his kid than Briles was. Oh, and Kendal is now the OC at Baylor after a couple years as passing game coordinator. He's done okay. I think he was the Big 12 recruiter of the year twice as well.
I don't like that Manning wasn't reatined but I don't mind this hire. Out of all the coaching positions, taking a flier on one is that big of a deal especially considering you have other guys who can help out there.
January 14th, 2015 at 11:57 AM ^
The best part about about others being able to help Jay out is that the "others" we're referring to are some of the best in the game. If he doesn't know much, he'll learn quickly. This wasn't some hire just because of family ties as in he wants his kid to have a paying job. This was because a good coach looks for guys he can trust but also give quality support and maybe provide interesting discussions on plays or formations or player's progress. If he doesn't know much he may not stick around for long, but I guarantee you that he will learn things quicker than anyone else on the staff. Given the age he will also be the one closest to the players.

All your harbaugh's are ours!!!!

Twice the Harbaugh. Any more Harbaughs want to join? Jack? John? Joani?
January 13th, 2015 at 9:10 PM ^
Crean?
January 13th, 2015 at 9:23 PM ^
Not a Harbaugh by name and definitely NOT WELCOME
January 13th, 2015 at 9:47 PM ^
She's welcome. It's just her husband who isn't.
January 14th, 2015 at 12:00 PM ^
I read this as Hydrogen. If you want to read into that, we'll be numbe 1 on the periodic table. Which of course means number 1 in football.
January 13th, 2015 at 8:41 PM ^
Are belong to us.

Who hinted at this earlier today?! I remember seeing somewhere that we weren't done with Harbaughs.
January 13th, 2015 at 8:42 PM ^
FWIW all rumored coaches are now in the Michigan directory including the last two from today
January 13th, 2015 at 8:49 PM ^
What about Manning?

January 13th, 2015 at 8:51 PM ^
He gone
January 13th, 2015 at 8:42 PM ^
Not a fan of this. Would have liked a more established coach...like one who has coached before. But we do have Jim.
January 13th, 2015 at 8:45 PM ^
I'll trust the seed of Jim and at least he should be very good at breaking down film from his quality control experience
January 13th, 2015 at 10:16 PM ^
I'm not sure they're even related...
January 14th, 2015 at 9:41 AM ^
and hiring his son Jay?
January 13th, 2015 at 8:51 PM ^
John and Jim got their first coaching job with their dad and they turned out ok
January 13th, 2015 at 9:03 PM ^
At a small time WKU program though right? Not a program like Michigan.
January 13th, 2015 at 9:25 PM ^
Yep but I believe John was at Western. Jim doesnt seem like the type that would put his son in place if he didn't honestly believe he was ready for the challenge and I believe John would speak freely if he thought Jay wasnt after his time interning with the Ravens. Not a great coach yet I'd imagine but he has a heckuva pedigree.
January 13th, 2015 at 9:26 PM ^
Good point. We're obviously screwed that a first time position coach, surrounded by coaches with experience coaching that position, is coaching tight ends.
January 13th, 2015 at 9:56 PM ^
We are not screwed. I just think questioning the hire is not totally unreasonable. Believe it or not but Jim is not infallible and will make some mistakes like all coaches do. Staff is great but saying this was a good hire is nonsense just because his last name. 25 years old with no coaching experience should raise some questions. Wheatley and Durkin were the best hires Jim could have made IMO. TE coach...not so much.
January 14th, 2015 at 5:16 AM ^
When you've got the point of questioning who the TE coach is, you've become unreasonable. Unless he is a convicted murderer or something.
This actually seems legit to me. If his last name was not Harbaugh people would be fine with it. Going from a QC coach in the NFL to a position coach in college seems like a normal move in a coaching career. Let's all relax a bit here.
