Harbaugh to Chargers confirmed :(

The NFL sucks, but I’m ok with the decision.

I guess the Chargers fan in me will eventually accept this. But the Michigan fan in me is pretty damn sad right now.

At least now we can confirm IT WAS NEVER ABOUT THE MONEY.  Harbaugh's ultimate goal in life is to win a Super Bowl.  Harbaugh is 60 years old.  This is likely his last chance to win a SB.

Tear the band-aid off.  Right now.  You'll thank us later.

Also expect tomorrow afternoon for Warde to name Sherrone the new HC.  I'd prefer Minter, but Harbaugh probably set up a deal with the Chargers to guarantee Minter gets crazy cash if he goes with Harbaugh to the Chargers.

Opening Sunday Night game 2024 … Baltimore @ LA Chargers!!! … buckle up 

Next Man Up.  Congratulations, Coach, and best of luck next season.

Moore is the best bet.  Try to keep Minter.  If not, anyone would be silly to pass on the opportunity to coach a stacked cupboard like the Michigan D.

NCAA: billion

michigan: pwned 

yet…don’t care, won the ‘chip! Thanks coach need a ride? 

Thanks Coach Harbaugh for everything.  Please Ono and Warde hire Jesse Minter as next HC. 

Thanks Jim.  Maybe you see you again in a few years.

Damn. Oh well 

all I say is, thank you coach! What a ride 

now announce SM ASAP Warde….but you won’t. 
 

cheers to all here, cheers to a new era. 
 

Be bummed, but don’t be mad. Business is finished. 

Onward 

Happy for him, will be incredibly disappointed if this turns out like a Beilein situation and he walks into a buzzsaw. And it's the Chargers, so... feels ominous.

Going to be a HUGE run on Natty Daddy's in Cbus tonight.  Doubt they've heard of champagne. Well maybe Miller High Life. 

It's curious that there's been no official announcement, and Harbaugh's second interview with the Falcons was "postponed" 6 hours ago, but not cancelled, per other reports.

So while this may be true, it may also be a strong rumor amplified by the media. It's not panic time, regardless. He should do whatever suits him, he did his job here.

Big hire needed  for our DC 

Coach Moore!!!

Damn.  Like JJ, I am happy that he is able to chase his dream.  But selfishly, I am disappointed.  Best Michigan coach in my lifetime and that includes Bo.

Good luck Jim, go win a Super Bowl in 2 years then come back. I have a feeling we are going to need you. 

I hope he fails spectacularly.  I will be rooting against him. I personally could care less about the Chargers and NFL.  I massively appreciate the National Championship and he should be welcomed back with a standing ovation. Put up a statue. Praise him as a hero. All of it.  Still want him to fail and leaving Michigan to be the wrong choice. That's how I feel. So thank you Jim, I wish you the best personally. Great health, etc. but specifically with the Chargers I hope you lose every game and Mahomes eats your lunch. Everyone will neg me, but deep down you agree. This is bad for Michigan and he's gonna take away our staff and chances of success are diminished for us. If your not for Michigan then you can fail. No one would enjoy seeing San Diego winning Superbowls while Moore runs it 34 times a game and we become even more hamstrung by lack of NIL than we were with Jim.  If you want to see that then you're a masochist or trying to feel like you're above that type of thought. 

It sucks but either way its nice to have semblance of stability with the whole dalliance of JH to NFL.  I sure hope it doesnt come out that the school totally botched this.  In any case, wishing the absolute best for Jim and hope he conquers with the Chargers what he did here.  Appreciate the man taking us out of the dark ages and winning it all when most, if not all, thought this was the demise of UM football during RRod and Hoke years.  Best wishes, JH.

I was fully expecting this but it still feels like a kick in the nuts. Had a sliver of hope.

Wow. Not shocked, but disappointed AF. 
 

Now, on to the next coach. I know many want Moore, but I am not sold. I see another version of Hoke. I would prefer a proper search, but I doubt UM does it. 
 

I have had a great time these past three years. I hope it doesn’t take another 10 to get back to this feeling. 

I guess I don’t mind he went to the NFL but this spot just doesn’t seem like the right one. Offense of line needs help they need receivers. They need a running back. They have salary cap problems up and down the roster. Not sure how long this is gonna take

Welp. Thanks for everything Jim and best of luck. We wouldve been over the moon with these nine seasons if youd told us this was how it would go back in 2014

Many people are defending Warde under the assumption that Jim wanted to be in the NFL regardless. I think the writing was on the wall as soon as Michigan capitulated to the Big 10 and fired Partridge. It was never about money. Jim never felt the support from the AD. If Warde is blocking NIL progress (as has been claimed), it’s setting up Sherrone or whoever else up for failure. Beyond time to reboot at AD.

A Michigan legend, FUCKING FOREVER. He conquered the Buckeyes, he ended Saban's dynasty, and he won Michigan a national championship while riding out a few really bad years in the middle.

God bless Jim Harbaugh. I will now become a huge Chargers fan.

I’m nervous about Moore as a 1st time head coach being given the keys to the program.  I would be hesitant to give him too much term if they redo his deal. Though in todays day and age, I guess you can buyout anyone. 

Thanks for the title, coach.  No thanks for the circus every year.
