Chargers confirm Harbaugh hiring (sort of)

I think Harbaugh is a better fit for the pros than John B, however the NFL has changed significantly from when he coached the 49ers 10 years ago.

Best to Coach Harbaugh in every endeavor. Will always appreciate and be grateful what he did at the University of Michigan and always root for him. Sorry if he is really going to work for the ownership group that left San Diego, and sorry if he is really leaving Michigan. Coach is both a great man and a good man. I will miss him a lot and always appreciate him and always pull for him in whatever he does.

Lol. Bye Bei-, I mean Harbaugh. Enjoy the prima donnas, and everything else that goes with the NFL. Good luck with the Chargers. You're gonna need it.

There isn't even an "us." You're not a real team. No one cares about you, no matter what city you're in and what ugly-ass corporate monstrosity you play in
Yes I'm bitter but in part it's for the simple aesthetics of the best coach in football leaving the best football program to ever exist for ... what? A total non entity franchise interchangeable with all the others. Fucking vomit

Agree with everything. I get he wanted to go the NFL and that's fine. He has that right. I'm bitter, but I'm not mad.
Might be an unpopular opinion, but I will rank Lloyd Carr ahead of him. He was here longer. He won more games. Won more Big 10 Titles. Won the same number of National Championships. Yeah, these last 3 years were amazing, but I will put Carr ahead. Carr's legacy was ruined because he ended his career slow and because the program was trash after he left. Harbaugh's career ended on a high note and hopefully the program won't fall apart.

Los Angeles doesnt even like the Chargers

They had hundreds of fans show up to see the Chargers play the Lions. Go walk around downtown LA and see how long it takes so see someone wearing Chargers gear. Now do the same in downtown Detroit (for Lions, not Chargers) or Ann Arbor (UM). Night and day difference.

This was inevitable. Moore will be named no later than Friday, likely tomorrow after the waver.
Said on the 9th and 10th that the 2024 program will be vastly different than the 2023 program. How much better or worse will be determined but it's Moore. In this day and age you cannot afford a search without accepting a rebuild. That's the nature of the beast these days.
My only wish was that Jim handled it a bit better and that tiny sting will only go away if we later hear that everyone but us knew of this (Jim leaving) as a sure thing the entire time, helping with prep and transition. He definitely spoke of his coaches like he knew he was passing the baton.
Other than that, he did what we imagined would be the top of the Mountain when we hired him. Always felt like a loan and we got 8 years, 3 Big Ten Championships, A Rose Bowl win, and a National Championship. He can go try to get a Super Bowl win, I'm not mad at him.

Michigan, for one

I’m hopeful, just hopeful for the future of UoM football. I’ll leave on that note for now. I got something in my lifetime that I never thought I’d get, an NC. This still hurts to the core though. Woulda loved to tune in for the next 5-6yrs and ask, “I wonder what that whacky Jim Harbaugh and the boys got cooked up for today”.
