It’s not goodbye. It’s see you later.
January 26th, 2024 at 8:27 AM ^
Are you kidding? He’s extremely odd, I would not want him to be the primary employer of all of our head coaches. I love him but he seems unsuited to the job to me
January 26th, 2024 at 9:40 AM ^
Hiring coaches has been one of his strongest attributes!
I don't see him as an AD type, but for very different reasons. Hiring coaches isn't one.
January 26th, 2024 at 2:25 PM ^
He loves all sports and he knows how to win and get shit done. Sure he may need a compliance person to run things by but that should standard operating procedure.
He would go to tiddly winks and every other sport and be the best fan.
I think he would be great.
January 26th, 2024 at 1:09 AM ^
We're long past the point of a legendary football coach transitioning into becoming an AD. A lot of the guys who did back in the day that were really just figureheads anyway and didn't much like the job (see: Bo).
Modern-day athletic departments are more or less corporations. You need someone with both athletics administration experience (not just coaching) and a clear sense of how to run a very complex business, because that's what it is. Jim Harbaugh is not that.
January 26th, 2024 at 3:53 AM ^
Jim Harbaugh's wants to coach football until he drops dead on the sidelines. I really doubt he would care to do push pencils and talk about budgets as an AD.
January 26th, 2024 at 8:58 AM ^
His plan is to come back to CFB, and replace Corso on CGD.
That would make me watch! Can you imagine???
January 26th, 2024 at 5:37 AM ^
It would be absolutely shocking for Harbaugh to want to come back and deal with the bureaucracy that is being an athletic director. I really can’t see Jim wanting to come back to deal with budgets, contracts, and fundraising.
The only thing I could see is maybe taking on a Biff Poggi type role.
January 26th, 2024 at 4:05 AM ^
The NFL was damn close to turning over a third of its coaches. Im not sure about this. Not Harbaugh just the NFL in general for him.
January 26th, 2024 at 8:19 AM ^
Probably when he gets canned in 3 years for not being able to turn that shit franchise around. I wish him all the luck in the world in getting his Super Bowl but just don’t see it happening. Not For Long won’t wait a decade like good old Michigan did.
January 26th, 2024 at 9:04 AM ^
It's possible he could return. I am sure Jim imagines himself coaching at least 10 more years. There's a world where Sherrone isn't the HC here anymore after 5 years (for any number of good or bad reasons - maybe OU comes calling. who knows) and at the same time Jim is tired of the Chargers and the NFL. It's possible he could come back for another Bill Snyder-like tenure.
Would I bet on it? No. But are the odds of it happening 0.0%? Also no
January 26th, 2024 at 10:38 AM ^
Hey, that’s ageism.
I am 65 and as sharp and as driven to perform at the highest level as I ever have been.
In fact I think that I am even better than I was when I was 30. Back in the day I was good but I didn’t have the deep focused knowledge I have now.
Wait…. what the hell was I talking about?
January 25th, 2024 at 11:40 PM ^
Maybe he keeps an Ann Arbor property and comes back in his 70s or 80s ... hangs around the facility and watches tape or whatever to help Sherrone, like Jack did for him. I don't think we'll ever see him in any official capacity at UM again.
January 26th, 2024 at 1:00 AM ^
You mean to help Coach Stalions, right? Have you read the manifesto, bro??!
January 26th, 2024 at 4:07 AM ^
Has anyone? Was the manifesto conjured up like signal-gate was? I dont know man I got a feeling it was a story passed on but nobody stopped to check if it was true.
January 26th, 2024 at 7:09 AM ^
A man can dream
January 25th, 2024 at 11:41 PM ^
No. He’s not coming back.
January 25th, 2024 at 10:33 PM ^
We'll meet again by Alfie Boe and Vera Lynn
We'll meet again
Don't know where, don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling through
Just like you always do
Till the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away
So will you please say hello
To the folks that I know?
Tell them I won't be long
They'll be happy to know
That as you saw me go
I was singing this song
We'll meet again
Don't know where, don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
We'll meet again
Don't know where, don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
January 25th, 2024 at 10:50 PM ^
Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?
Remember how she said that we would meet again some sunny day?
Vera, Vera, what has become of you?
Does anybody else in here feel the way I do?
January 25th, 2024 at 10:57 PM ^
She lived to 103.
January 26th, 2024 at 12:38 AM ^
I'm picking up what you're laying down Andrew
January 26th, 2024 at 7:04 AM ^
Username checks out.
There is no dark side of the moon.
matter of fact, it’s all dark.
January 25th, 2024 at 11:00 PM ^
Can’t hear that song and not think of the closing nuke montage from Dr. Strangelove.
January 25th, 2024 at 11:46 PM ^
Beat me to it!
January 26th, 2024 at 1:36 AM ^
"Happy Trails to you,
Until we meet again..."
sung by Roy Rogers & Dale Evans
January 26th, 2024 at 3:27 AM ^
Shouldn’t slim Pickens be riding a nuke he dislodged from a B-52, swinging his cowboy hat?
January 25th, 2024 at 11:11 PM ^
Will possibly get some news or hints on what other coaches may depart…
January 26th, 2024 at 4:02 AM ^
I'm sure if its up to Jim Harbaugh he'll take every last coach and convince every last player to go the NFL.
I was the biggest Harbaugh supporter but now as he dodges the NCAA and leaves Michigan to pick up the pieces I honestly just wish he'd be gone.
January 26th, 2024 at 4:13 AM ^
He looked the NCAA dead in the eye and they blinked. You cant fuck with a Champion. Do better like Jim did.
January 26th, 2024 at 5:10 AM ^
Logged in just to neg you
January 25th, 2024 at 11:12 PM ^
I’m calling it now…Harbaugh goes all Jordan Belfort/Wolf of Wall Street, “I’m not leaving. I’m not f*cking leaving. This my home. They’re gonna need a f*cking wreckin ball to get me outta here!”
Either that or he gives some awkward speech with a metaphor that nobody quite understands but they leave inspired regardless.
January 26th, 2024 at 12:16 AM ^
“Locker rooms, a lot like my mom’s bathing suits. I like to see them in one piece.”
January 26th, 2024 at 2:30 AM ^
Classic Harbaugh...
January 25th, 2024 at 11:59 PM ^
Cheers to you Jim
January 26th, 2024 at 12:09 AM ^
See you on the other side you magnificent son-of-a-bitch...
January 26th, 2024 at 3:44 AM ^
Can we put all things Jim Harbaugh to bed?
3 years of the nonstop Jim Harbaugh has been insufferable.
January 26th, 2024 at 4:06 AM ^
Insufferable? Or Amazing? We won a national championship!!!!!
Savor it.
January 26th, 2024 at 4:14 AM ^
Respectfully. Piss off.
January 26th, 2024 at 4:19 AM ^
Yeah, I could barely tolerate 3 straight victories over Ohio State, 3 straight Big Ten Championships, a narrative-changing win over SEC dynasty Alabama in the Rose Bowl, and an undefeated National Championship.
I just don't know how we made it through those 3 years.
January 26th, 2024 at 6:31 AM ^
Hopefully you’re a troll. The dude brought back Michigan to go 15-0 and win a national championship. If you can suffer a couple months for his nfl dalliance, brotha, you need to stop, breathe and let someone kick you in the nuts.
January 26th, 2024 at 7:40 AM ^
It sure is a mystery why a community of Michigan fans would talk about Michigan's head football coach.
January 26th, 2024 at 8:30 AM ^
What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
January 26th, 2024 at 4:08 AM ^
I wonder if this will also be him using this as an opportunity to personally tell the team that Sherrone will be taking over.
January 26th, 2024 at 4:21 AM ^
I think they already know. That is why there has not been a mass exodus.
January 26th, 2024 at 6:05 AM ^
What stood out to me was what JH seemingly inferred that there will be a Michigan connection with the Chargers much like the one that’s been established with the ravens.
it’s the crucial advantage that Michigan has that no one else does. This coaching farm system that’s being developed is very impressive and hopefully we reap the benefits from it.
January 26th, 2024 at 9:07 AM ^
If Harbaugh and Minter run the Ravens system in LA, would be cool if they started sending their developing defensive assistants back to Ann Arbor. Could absolutely see that happening
January 26th, 2024 at 9:18 AM ^
Exactly. And I don't know how it can be replicated.
January 26th, 2024 at 6:16 AM ^
That interview by Angelique was great. Every fan should read it.
