Michael Johnson to take Oregon WR job per Sam Webb

Submitted by WorldwideTJRob on

Sam just reported on WTKA that Michael Johnson won't be the 10th position coach at Michigan after all. Instead he will be the WR coach at Oregon, so Pete can go bother Taggert for hiring Johnson so his son can play in his system.

I honestly don't think Jim Harbaugh would care if there was perceived heat, but there's isn't any heat other than what Pete would like people to believe exists. 

As someone mentioned, Pete may rack this up to a win, but the mental gymanstics required to make it appear so are.....let's just say it takes a special talent.

Sam is saying on Twitter it's because of the change to the 10th coach rule that seems like it won't take place until 2018 (after the coming season is over), and that would have limited Johnson's oppurtunities here.

That the NCAA is not giving a 10th position coach, so you may want to look elsewhere.  Probably called Taggert for Johnson because he is a coach on Harbaugh's coaching lineage.

With boring, logical thinking...

How about this?!?

-Win a championship in '17 led by Speight throwing for 5000/35 TDs and a Heisman

-Peters in '18-'19 capped off by another championship and Peters going pro

-McCaffrey can QB in '20-'21 and win two more!

Edit: Dang. Was supposed to be a response to maize-blue from above regarding QBs

and had to go somewhere--charges of hypocrisy would always lurk in such a hire. Michigan was just a place that enabled the Tonsured Penis to complain loud and long, thus providing cover for the continued underaged sex, drugs, and pay-'em-alla of the Southern Confederation.

It's a shame Bacon was on the backfoot in that interview and didn't outfit Finebaum with a new back one to go with his front one.

On one hand if he goes after Oregon for the same thing he was critical of Harbaugh for he looks like the world's biggest pussy cause it will appear he caved after Jimmy's hate tweet last night.

On the other hand if he does nothing and says nothing his obvious bias and hypocracy will be brutally exposed.  It will speak volumes if he sits quietly on Oregon after shoveling shit on Michigan for doing (or better said trying to do) the same thing.

Check. Mate.

Unfortunate, perhaps we'll get Johnson in the future.  Harbaugh's assistants are highly coveted (I do wonder how Jaybaugh is perceived by others, if/when he'll branch out) so I'm sure there'll be an opportunity to come to Michigan/rejoin Jim, if that's something he desires.

He turned DJ Durkin into Don Brown.
Jedd Fisch into Pep Hamilton.
Ty Wheatley into Greg Frey.

Excited to see who JH turns to next.
