hockey coaching changes

trying to hear the haterz [Eric Upchurch]

Hey, what about… Nope. Don't care.

Here's another bullet? Stop it.

It's in your contract to talk about these things. What contract?

The one you foolishly signed with the internet before clearing with with Richard Hoeg? Ah, dammit, never sign a contract with the internet. FINE. You win:

IN WHICH JIM HARBAUGH SAYS A THING LIKE A WEEK AGO. Jim Harbaugh has an unusual tendency for a head football coach: sometimes he opens his mouth and says things that he thinks. At Big Ten Media Days he made the case for a one-time no-sit transfer by invoking the prospect of players making stuff up, particularly about their mental health, in an attempt to get a waiver.

Since James Hudson is currently trying to get a waiver by asserting his transfer was due to mental health issues he did not report to anyone at Michigan, people put two and two together. And they're probably right: Harbaugh probably was referencing Hudson, and probably thinks his case is dubious.

But people mess up and Harbaugh in particular will occasionally speak like a human being instead of a robot preprogrammed to expel the most boring things possible. Harbaugh was trying to say that Hudson should be eligible. Okay. It seems like he does take mental health issues seriously. Okay. Sometimes he says stuff badly. Okay.
