More Fired Coaches = Safer RichRod
It seems pretty clear that our coach next year is going to be Rich Rod or Harbaugh. Dave Brandon (hopefully) isn't foolish enough to fire RR without previously securing the talents of Harbaugh. Right now Harbaugh seems to be a name thrown around for every coaching position, both College and NFL.
This leads me to think that, given the growing list of organizations with current or impending coaching vacancies (Cowboys, Broncos, Vikings, Pitt, Miami, Florida), there are going to be a lot of offers made to Harbaugh, making it less likely DB can lure him over to Michigan.
So for those Rich Rod supporters...it's looking pretty good.

Why is Michigan looking for a new coach?
News to me...
December 8th, 2010 at 5:53 PM ^
So I see you're just going to post the exact same thing in every thread too? Kinda played out IMO, but to each his own I guess.

I've negbanged so much this afternoon that my index finger is starting to cramp up. Keep fighting the good fight, jHackney. Its you and me, brother.

Don't push yourself too much, man. If you think your index finger is cramping now, just wait until everyone is on holiday break with nothing else to do but post threads. Or watching bowl games. Or good god, the time period between our bowl game and Brandon's evaluation being announced.
You don't want to tempt the Angry Michigan Negbanger Hating God into smiting your index finger and putting you out for the most important part of the forum season.
Take a break and let some other people handle negbanging the rabble
December 8th, 2010 at 5:24 PM ^
Collateral damage.
December 8th, 2010 at 5:08 PM ^
Another useless coaching controversy post detroyed by a Hackney nuke. Now that's satisfaction.
December 8th, 2010 at 5:06 PM ^
I'm not sure that your logic is correct. Or worthwile. Or relevant.
December 8th, 2010 at 5:08 PM ^
i'm confused - do you agree w/ his post?
December 8th, 2010 at 5:13 PM ^
There is validity to the OP's logic. There is not certainty regarding how a coaching search would unfold at Michigan, if there were one; it could be an open search. If that's true, the surprise resignations at Pitt/Florida, other coaching changes, limit Michigan's options.
December 8th, 2010 at 6:38 PM ^
but i always practice safe richrod, even if i know my partner well
December 8th, 2010 at 5:08 PM ^
No doubt this is true. Michigan does not want to pick last after Miami, Florida, Pitt. There is always the possibility that Brandon has some type of sub rosa agreement with Jim Harbaugh, however.
What bugs me about this situation is that Michigan should be CLEANING UP in recruiting with Miami/Florida turmoil, and we are not in a position to do so.
(Another tantalizing possibility is that Mullen gets tapped to coach at Florida, and abandons Miss. State for the bowl game.)

that's an original thought that's been expressed nowhere else.
December 8th, 2010 at 5:16 PM ^
And now if Mullen goes to Florida, RR goes to MSU, I see how it works now.
December 8th, 2010 at 6:02 PM ^
Does Jerry Kill come into michigan and kill it?
December 8th, 2010 at 6:37 PM ^
Rich to Florida, Harbaugh to Michigan, and Meyer to Stanford. No one cares there so he won't feel the pressure. Done and done. Book it!

I can understand the being mad about multiple threads, but for those who aren't on 24/7, they aren't privy to the fact that someone mentioned this inbetween the 100's of "this is so tiredsome having to comment on the fac that this is a repeat thread" comment in one of the other threads.
For whatever reason, people are really in a bad mood here lately. Hopefully its just the holidays or finals that is getting to everyone.
I honestly believe the best thing to do in a repeat thread is neg it, if it is obvious, and ignore it. I think the fact that all the repeat threads are getting 100's of replies legitimizes them.
I found it weird that repeat derp threads about coaching changes were getting tons of responses, yet the same people complaining about threads didn't bother commenting on some of the Big Chill threads or the Red Berenson B-day threads. Oh well, to each his own.
December 8th, 2010 at 5:13 PM ^
there's any chance of Harbaugh going to Miami, Florida, or Pitt, I think you need your head examined.
December 8th, 2010 at 7:07 PM ^
He almost went Kansas last year, so not that crazy. Florida is probably going another direction but I think if they made that call he'd listen.
December 8th, 2010 at 5:14 PM ^
Damn good point, this is a year we should be cleaning up on recruits, damn this is frustrating, Come on Brandon give us a knowing wink, flash us some gang signs, send up smoke signals, something.
December 8th, 2010 at 5:19 PM ^
i express no opinion as to your post, but i'd like to point out that you should probably change your signature to:

Thanks good eye
December 8th, 2010 at 5:08 PM ^
Harbaugh to Florida. M. Yass is reporting this on numerous reputable blogs.
December 8th, 2010 at 5:10 PM ^
Spot on at 280. That deserves a drink.
December 8th, 2010 at 5:11 PM ^
The more threads about the CC(what CC?) the more likely the craziest theory is right. Dave Brandon obviously is reading all of these and will make his decesion based on them. He is also a smart business man and wants to put on a show and make a scene. So the more craziness we come up with the more he will have to do to top it.

If anything it's proof that there is a common trend going on at this moment.

Can I post my Billy Madison quote again?
F it.
Sir what you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling incoherent speech was there anything close to being considered a rational thought.Everyone on this blog is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.
December 8th, 2010 at 5:18 PM ^
Of course you may. And I'll +1 it again.
December 8th, 2010 at 10:10 PM ^
Can we make this an act like that of profitgoblue's where you post this on every stupid thread and we all get to neg away at the offender?
December 8th, 2010 at 5:16 PM ^
um...i disagree
enormously

It doesn't matter who offers JH what. If DB feels that Michigan wants/needs him he will become the coach. No team, especially not Florida or Miami will change that matter
December 8th, 2010 at 5:18 PM ^
On one hand, I could see how firings/resignations create more market competition for coaches making Rich Rod's firing less likely. The schools open range from decent (Pitt) to great (Florida). On the other hand, when you have a great school dissolve its current dynasty, the successful parts can become coaching candidates, too. For example, you could get Heater, with all his success and Michigan ties, as a Harbaugh emergency backup, &c.
December 8th, 2010 at 5:31 PM ^
I agree with the this board post but for a different reason. DB is a high integrity person and under no circumstances would he leave Rich Rod out to hang with all these potential jobs out there. This leads me to believe that he is coming back.
December 8th, 2010 at 5:44 PM ^
Interesting point. Hope you're right!
December 8th, 2010 at 7:42 PM ^
DB is in his 1st year as AD and is showing his integrity to all by standing by his word all along. True Michigan Man
December 8th, 2010 at 5:37 PM ^
Yeah, there's no way this is true.
Harbaugh will not take another college job unless it's Michigan. If he wanted an NFL job, there were going to be some available and he's the hottest commodity at this point. I don't see this having any affect at all on our coaching situation.
December 8th, 2010 at 5:40 PM ^
the waiting is killin recruiting and not to mention the hearts of Mich fans, I gotta give it to DB... the man's got balls... cause I can see the method in this maddness, 1st it serves the perpous that it lets RR know and understand that this perhaps is his last chance.. its the fear that puts fire under your ass to get it right or next year your gone!!! 2ndly the time line allows DB to feel out the land for the best fit...he has to find someone that wont hinder this team but enhance it( Dont muck wit the Off) but wake up the Def...the only ace for RR is Offensively it gonna be hard to find someone better.....so personelly i hope hes bad wit new Def personnel, MUCK HARBAUGH
