Sherrone Moore was not only not born on third base, but he also is the only one between the two who has hit a home run.

I like this post and I like Sherrone. But, if you open the UM job and do a nationwide search, Sherrone is probably not your best candidate. For now, I think it would be a reach to give him any Big Ten job.

Day had a lot more 'coaching' experience prior to being named HC than Moore would if he were to be named our next HC now. 

Kinda feel like that matters. Yes, Day was born on third base and was handed everything Meyer built but wouldn't the same be true for Moore? Or anyone else on this staff who was handed the reigns?

I think Moore would be a fine choice as our next HC, assuming Harbaugh leaves of course, but it seems I may be in the minority as I have seen others saying it would be better to hire someone like Kalen DeBoer, who has previous and successful HC stints. 

Personally, I don't see who out there would leave their job for Michigan. DeBoer has a great gig right now and far less pressure than he'd ever have here. I just don't see a ton of great coaches that would 'walk to Ann Arbor' if the opportunity arose. 

I think we reward Sherrone Moore for what he has done here if that time has come for Jim.

I love Sherrone and glad he's here. I'm also hopeful Jim stays. My concern is that if Jim leaves, some of the staff falls out, and the magic that brought this team to the promised land will slowly leave, through no fault of Sherrone's.  There's still a lot of tumult coming our way in the shifting landscape of college football, and Jim is the guy to guide us through that, I'm convinced now. 

We'll see what happens...

I do support Sherrone, but I'm a bit nervous about him taking over an operation like Michigan football.

Yes, he coached the team to multiple victories this season.  But let's not forget he was coaching the team that Harbaugh built...with Harbaugh directing the operation during the other six days of the week.

You could easily argue that, if Sherrone takes over as HC at Michigan, it's no different than the situation that Day inherited.  

I think the case for Sherrone Moore is that you want to maintain the culture that's so good and minimize the transition as much as possible.  So I think whether you want to hire him or not very much depends on how much of the staff sticks around if Harbaugh leaves (and Ben Herbert in particular).  My guess is that Hart, Bellamy, Newsome, Elston, and Clinkscale stick around.  No guess on Kirk Campbell and I'd guess that Minter is gone to the NFL no matter what happens and Jay Harbaugh would be off the NFL if Jim Harbaugh is.  But retaining Herbert is incredibly important to that culture.  It'd also matter if JJ makes clear that Moore being named coach would be a deciding factor in him coming back.

But if Herbert were to go with Harbaugh or the coaching staff goes to the NFL en masse I think you have to do a wider search and at least kick the tires on guys like Dan Lanning or Kalen DeBoer.  Who knows if they'd be interested and I'm not saying Moore isn't ultimately the guy, but you have to at least gauge what the interest is out there.  DeBoer to me is also basically the football version of John Beilein.  And obviously I want Harbaugh to very much stay, but it'd be a fun to see JJ play a year in DeBoer's offense.

David Shaw took over for Jim Harbaugh when he left Stanford, and kept that program running at a high level for the ensuing eight years--including three Pac-12 titles and two Rose Bowl wins. The bottom did eventually fall out in 2019, but then again this is Stanford we are talking about--it was probably bound to happen eventually. 

I've been skeptical of groomed successors taking over top programs ever since the Larry Coker experience at Miami. But JH proved he could identify and develop the right guy for the job at Stanford, so I think that means a lot with respect to M's next head coach.

I just want this resolved because of recruiting and the portal.  If I am correct, Carr was the last Michigan coach with consistent top ten recruiting classes.  Harbaugh could win without them, but I'm not betting anyone else could.

But Cryan teaches motivational hopping classes so there's that.

Hire Minter! To remain competitive, we need his D far more than Sherrone’s O.

Dude, He's part of the Harbaugh tree now. 

Um, it’s not “entirely clear” that ohio did everything you alleged. Highly possible, sure. But not at all proven. So your entire premise is questionable from the start. Stick to established facts. 

-1 If Jim Harbaugh wants to be appreciated and shown love as head coach then why talk about Moore as if Harbaugh is gone? Does Harbaugh read Mgoblog? Who knows but I read this talk of Moore being our next head coach as if we WANT the man who just delivered us a national champion to be gone. I read it everywhere (Twitter, Youtube, MSN, etc.)

All the talk should be centered around showing Jim Harbaugh love and makes sure he knows that this fanbase wants him to stay. Talking up Moore unnecessarily doesn't really show your current coach you appreciate him.

All of the haters on ESPN and BTN are begging for Jim Harbaugh to leave for the NFL.  They also all think Sherrone Moore would be a “great hire.”  I don’t disagree, but would really prefer that Harbaugh stay.

The culture he has built is incredible.  Sherrone would likely benefit from some Head Coaching experience elsewhere, before I would be 100% comfortable handing him the keys.
