High School coaches can attend all practices next week, must register.

Submitted by Tate on

This was just tweeted out by UM Compliance: 

HS Coaches attending U of M FB practices in Florida, must register at: https://t.co/7IstrAkxHq REMINDER: Coaches may not bring recruits.

— Michigan Compliance (@umichcompliance) February 26, 2016

So if you're a HS FB coach in the area, sign up and you can attend all four days of practice.

Mon, Tues, and Thursday are closed to the general public, but this registration will get you in.

And a reminder that Friday is open to everyone.

I'm hoping there's at least a few of you who fit the script, and can relay the MGoBoard some intel.

Can recruits come to the general session?

If Dylan Moses comes, every single play should be a running play to the OLB's side of the field.

So, the NCAA insists that the HS coaches must register before attending, eh? You know who else made a large number of people register before they could do stuff? The Nazis...

To Harbaugh, recruiting is just as much about wooing high school coaches as the recruits themselves. If you think about it, it's really genius. A player can be an ambassador for your program for like 4ish years. A high school coach who you are tight with can be an ambassador for your program for decades. Or can be your next DBs coach. Harbaugh's line of thinking: recruit the coaches, not the kids. Love it.

great Harbaugh misdirection, magician's "slight of hand," if you will. everyone was worried about the recruits, they forgot about the coaches. and why would a Florida coach not be happy about this? gives them more options for placing their players, get a comort level with UM coaches, also get to see how a great football coach runs things. it's like having Free Trade. brilliant.

And also a possible source of upward mobility for ambitious HS coaches with a guy who has hired some HS coaches already to great effect and whose coaching tree at the end of the day will be one of the most impressive weve seen.

@CoachJim4UM @FlaHSFootball no thanks Jimmy. I used to think you were just a ball coach. Turned out you are a circus clown

Make sure they don't let this asshat FL HS coach in

No doubt, he's a championship winning coach that has nothing to learn about coaching from Harbaugh!

Turns out he is Bill Wiles, a guy with a middling record in 28 years at small HS' in Floriduh.  He did win the class 1A (smallest by population) championship back in the early 2000's - congrats to him!  Why am I always amazed that people will shoot a gift-horse in the mouth, rather than taking an offer for what it is?  If I coached a small HS football team, I'd absolutely jump at the chance to see a Harbaugh practice!  I'd even jump at one with Meyer, Saban, or Dantony.  Hell, name a P5 coach, and I'd go see what I could pick up!  Some people...

5pm Friday night  - I will be there.  Pretty exciting to have them staying in my neighborhood.  

Update: was just standing in my front yard and could see the Equipment Semi rolling up to IMG.
