SIAP: Luke Yaklich's wife shoots down reports that he's leaving (and pw3ns Jeff Moss in the process)
key phrase....your information is presently incorrect
That's not really a key phrase. She openly admitted that they haven't made their decision so this guy claiming its a done deal is lying
It’s definitely a key phrase.
"She openly admitted that they haven't made their decision "
No - She openly SAID that they haven't made their decision.
I'm inclined to believe her, but human being lie. A lot.
Nick Saban 2 weeks before taking Alabama job: "I'm not going to be the Alabama coach"
Yaks wife seems like a great girl. She's tweeted out before about her and him having a ton of game film to go over. I guess Yak is basically addicted to watching game film. Pretty cool for him to have a wife who enjoys watching game film with him and is supportive like that
This is funny, but it also sounds like he's gone
It sounds like Howard hasn’t met with Yaklich yet, but the Yaklich family is open to staying if they can. Makes sense too since their kids look like they are in high school and moving now would be difficult for them
Not to mention staying a few extra years at school where you've already had success and know the players makes more sense for your future prospects as a coach then moving to another school, restarting and not having guaranteed success
Please stay, Amy! We want you to stay! Not only because Luke is a great coach, but because you're tweeting game is spot on!
I love he’re tweets too
I have no source, but my gut tells me if Howard wants him, he will stay.
Everyone here does seem to be assuming that his Texas interview was evidence of trying to get out, when it could have just been covering his bases in the event the new HC did not want to retain him.
Shoot, I have a fairly stable job, and I apply to and interview for jobs every 4 months or so. Not because I necessarily want to leave my current job, but it lets me know the market and keeps my interviewing skills sharp, in the event I am let go due to unforeseen circumstances.
Practicing interviews is an unappreciated thing to do, +1 to you, sir. I've done it a few times for positions I know I have no hope for - and actually came pretty close a couple of times! I've also interviewed people that applied with the caveat that it was only for practice (I would never turn down such a request, despite it taking my time). More people should do this...
well, Michigan does have more money free as a result of the salary difference between Beilein and Howard...
they could probably match any offer if they wanted too...just got to have Howard meet with Luke and determine whether staying makes sense to the both of them.
Mineral King says Chris Evans will return. Is he 1201?
Sweet. I hope there is another Captain America movie
Where? This needs a thread
DSR feels a lot like those Heat guys who threw out "deal is done" when the meeting is ongoing. It's just an educated guess where if he's right, Moss can claim "insider knowledge" and if not he can say "my sources were misled, and BTW I made a donation so trumpet me on social media." I know it doesn't mean a ton to most, but I'm sure it's a stressful time on the Yaklich family already without some people on the internet trying to score some retweets.
Ace Moss
Does this affect us getting Jalen Wilson back in any positive way?
It certainly couldn’t hurt if he comes back. He was the lead recruiter.
Amy is true Blue. You go girl and slap this stuff as you see fit ! Love to keep your family in A2 for years to come but do what is best for you all. Hopefully that is part of the J-Howard family and team ... next up.
What a numbskull
Mrs. Yak is awesome. That clickbait writin dumbass she was replying to, not so much.
I doubt this dude actually has a source, but to play contrarian, if his source is from the Howard camp and has confirmed Howard doesn’t want yaklich back/is firing him, then amy yaklich wouldn’t really have any say in that. This dudes a hack tho.
What an asshole
$100? Weak sauce. This is Michigan!
If I remember, Moss had some legit sources back during the football coaching search. I think even Brian vouched for his sources when he got the scoop on the Brandon resignation press conference. That was 2014, of course, and I don't follow DSR close enough to know if he's had anything else noteworthy in the interim. But I think he's at least a short step above the Ace Williams/Yoder level of truly fake news.
With Moss, I think the issue is that he's more willing to throw out rumors as fact and "report" from his sources no matter what. In some cases, it's a game of telephone where vague or general statements from the source become fact when Moss (and others) make it public. Or a source who is undeserving of any trust or credibility talks to Moss, who just parrots it without considering all circumstances. Sometimes he's right, sometimes he's not, and he's so indiscriminate about what he puts out there that it's hard to tell the difference.
Don't engage Amy. Sometimes not tweeting is the better course.
I had a fun twitter back and forth with Amy Yaklich a while back...she’s incredibly easy going and funny. I think she’s awesome. And the fact she shot down Moss made my week!
