I was enthralled by clicking on your link and finding out such interesting tidbits as the following
Coaching Hot Board
The end of the Rich Rodriguez era is upon us. For the second time in four years the Wolverines will have a new coach on the sidelines when they open the 2011 season Sept. 3 against Western Michigan. TheWolverine.com has come up with our list of potential coaching candidates to be the program's 18th head coach ... here's the complete breakdown.

wait, why won't RR be coaching us next year? i'm confused.
January 6th, 2011 at 7:31 PM ^
regardless of what Brian thought of the presser, DB laid out that it was a painful 3 years.
January 6th, 2011 at 2:53 PM ^
Jim Harbaugh
Brady Hoke
Les Miles
John Harbaugh??
Gary Patterson
Pat Fitzgerald
January 6th, 2011 at 2:55 PM ^
So John Harbaugh telling the media Jim wasn't interested in the job was a sly way of clearing room for himself. Clever John Harbaugh, crafty John Harbaugh.
January 6th, 2011 at 2:57 PM ^
Lets pos-bang SFBlue here, just because we can! Yeehaw!
January 6th, 2011 at 3:16 PM ^
January 6th, 2011 at 7:25 PM ^
Board is still wonky for me. I can't pos- or neg-bang.
January 6th, 2011 at 5:20 PM ^
All your Harbaughs are belong to us.
January 6th, 2011 at 2:55 PM ^
what if we hired john and just kept calling him jim?
January 6th, 2011 at 3:10 PM ^
As the MoGoBlog CC debacle progressed, Jim Harbaugh eventually became known simply as "JH." I'm having a hard enough time remembering to date everything 2011 right now. Hiring John would keep things simple for me. Thankfully, Hoke's first name doesn't work so he has off the board.... right?
January 6th, 2011 at 9:22 PM ^
both?
January 6th, 2011 at 3:07 PM ^
... and I promise you it is not worth much, but an old friend of mine in the Athletic Department mentioned a couple weeks ago that John H. was on the shortlist. I thought he was being silly, but looks like others are reporting it (not that that makes it true, as we all know).
Makes sense for him to be on the list given his background, but I highly doubt he's a realistic option.
January 6th, 2011 at 3:08 PM ^
it's difficult to see why he would leave the ravens. perhaps it is more that we have interest than that he does.
January 6th, 2011 at 3:16 PM ^
From the rumors over at the rivals board, and I stress thats all they are, John actually contacted Michigan and showed interest. Atleast thats the way I interpreted it.
January 6th, 2011 at 3:49 PM ^
I had heard that same rumor previously. Supposedly it was during the season though. I half joked in another thread about John being interested because of this. Again, like others have mentioned, why would he leave the Ravens?? They could be going to the Super Bowl this year. But he would fit in that " you would not believe some of the people that have shown interest" rumor a month or so ago. John would be a homerun hit, but I think is less likely than Jim coming and that is very unlikely obviously.
January 6th, 2011 at 3:55 PM ^
Man, I would take John Harbaugh in about a half a second. That would make me forget all about his brother. It just sounds a little too good to be true to me.
January 6th, 2011 at 5:36 PM ^
I think John is a great coach in the NFL and maybe a great college coach. But, he has spent most of his career in the NFL. I don't think he has recruited, not that he can't. I would still take Jim over John for Michigan.
January 6th, 2011 at 5:50 PM ^
right because he's going to go from a NFL team who just won 12 games and has as good of a chance of winning the super bowl this year as any playoff team to a michigan program spiralling out of control, hell, sign me up please.
January 6th, 2011 at 7:27 PM ^
Out of a thread of people trying to mock this ridiculous rumor the best, you sir did the best job of mocking the John Harbaugh to Michigan rumor/hearsay. Well done sir.
January 6th, 2011 at 3:08 PM ^
According to someone posting on Scout site, Brian Billick was contacted today. Would be intriguing if true
January 6th, 2011 at 3:14 PM ^
i think a lot of people would have mixed feelings about him. sure he brings some credibility, but is he too far gone from the NFL to attract recruits? are we trying to hard to recreate the pete carrol magic? what would happen to denard? etc.
January 6th, 2011 at 3:59 PM ^
I actually haven't given it too much thought, just found him an intriguing option. With a Superbowl Championship to his credit, I wouldn't even compare him to Pete Carroll's NFL resume, but he might have some additional pull with recruits. As far as Denard, he did win that Superbowl with Trent Dilfer. Also, being born near Dayton, OH he probably has an understanding of the importance of "The Game."
January 6th, 2011 at 4:01 PM ^
A Super Bowl winning caochi s a Super Bowl winning coach.
If Jimmy Johnson returned to The U, the buzz to recruits would be astounding.
Brian Billick is a good coach, but I see him probably getting hired by the 9ers. I heard he was one of their primary backup plans if they didn't land Jimmay.
January 6th, 2011 at 7:07 PM ^
GERG had a ring too. Let's move on to REAL candidates now.
January 6th, 2011 at 3:21 PM ^
Hopefully all of this will be cleared up soon (though we have passed the 24 hr mark already) otherwise we won't be asking for Harbaugh to come save us from ourselves, we'll be asking for June Jones.
One good thing that came out of Arkansas' loss to Ohio State: no talk of Petrino being hired (not that he wouldn't sell his children for a few more dollars)
January 6th, 2011 at 3:46 PM ^
it no Urban Meyer?
January 6th, 2011 at 2:51 PM ^
It includes both?
Someone needs to shut down the drug trade that is obviously occurring within the Michigan Rivals team.
January 6th, 2011 at 2:53 PM ^
want to tell us what it says?
January 6th, 2011 at 3:12 PM ^
It says nothing of any substance because they know as much as us - nothing.
January 6th, 2011 at 2:53 PM ^
everyone give me $5
January 6th, 2011 at 3:05 PM ^
Jim Tressel. Scoop of the century
January 6th, 2011 at 3:19 PM ^
Frankly, it pisses me off that DB even mentioned Tressel at all yesterday, and that people continue to talk about him coming to M.
January 6th, 2011 at 3:22 PM ^
The only time I've ever heard someone talk about Tressel coming to Michigan was in reference to the Game being played in Ann Arbor.
January 6th, 2011 at 4:00 PM ^
but, JT was mentioned because DB is trying to prep people for the possibility of hiring a guy like Hoke. Just my opinion, but seems pretty evident.
Why else would he go to bat so fast for the small name. That was a preconceived response...He is thinking along the lines of potentially hiring a small name with potential!
January 6th, 2011 at 4:03 PM ^
Uh, he mentioned Tressel in reference to why you don't necessariy have to look at only FBC coaches. What's wrong with that?
January 6th, 2011 at 2:53 PM ^
The board's been back for less than five minutes and there's an absolute explosion of forum posts....... at this rate we'd better worry about Brian bolting to the NFL! OH NO!!
January 6th, 2011 at 2:56 PM ^
January 6th, 2011 at 2:58 PM ^
This is going to be awesome! Anyone else note all of the new members that signed up in the past few days? Its going to be a fun next few weeks . . .
January 6th, 2011 at 3:04 PM ^
The site can always use some new blood. Your schtick is a tired one...
January 6th, 2011 at 3:07 PM ^
Chill out.
January 6th, 2011 at 3:45 PM ^
What happened to the pos-bang fest?
January 6th, 2011 at 4:23 PM ^
We need rest. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised.
January 6th, 2011 at 3:10 PM ^
January 6th, 2011 at 3:47 PM ^
You're so wise. You're like a miniature Buddha, covered in hair.
January 6th, 2011 at 3:10 PM ^
of point envy
January 6th, 2011 at 3:12 PM ^
January 6th, 2011 at 3:16 PM ^
I tend to disagree with your post.... or rather, I try not to engage in personal attacks, but I did notice your quote line beneath your post and must admit it made me chuckle.
January 6th, 2011 at 3:19 PM ^
For some reason I think we should throw Russell Crowe on to the Rivals' coaching list.
