If I'm not mistaken I believe he ran a pistol at SF quite a bit.
You are not anywhere close to being mistaken. That was a huge part of the offense with Colin Kaepernick.
and thought he got arrested, but we're a day past 'april fools' day.

I'm pretty sure pistol has been in some of the clips from spring practice and I feel like I seen where coaches have mentioned running it. Not too shocked, more excited.
Not sure why it's surprising. Harbaugh ran pistol at Stanford when almost nobody except Nevada was running it.
And guess who played at Nevada? Colin Kaepernick.
Not to mention their former coach before Polian invented the Pistol I think...
Chris Ault.
Shocking.

Is he comparing you to Einstein and Hawking, only smarter?
No, but he said he's faster.
"I'm gonna coach football somewhere," said Jackson, who's been the longtime Michigan running backs coach, under multiple coaches. "It might not be here."It might be Saline gym teacher.
Or he could be an assistant high school coach and he is supplementing his income with substituting?

Or he could just retire since he was a DI assistant for 500 years and there's obviously no other program that wants to hire him. Whatever. Glad we got Wheatley.
Yeah...what college team would want to hire a guy who has helped produce several record-setting running backs at the University of Michigan?
Um, nobody. He seems to be unemployed as of now so I don't get your point.
Just because he doesn't have a job right now doesn't mean nobody would hire him.
You're making the leap that he actually applied for jobs, was turned down for jobs, etc. Maybe he decided to take a few months off. Maybe he's waiting for the right opening. So on and so forth.
Or maybe he's subbing at Saline high school for petty cash. Scroll down for photos.
LOL. I can tell you for a fact that you're making an irrelevant leap here. Just because someone is subbing doesn't mean nobody will hire them as a football coach. That happened at my school just last spring...and the guy was coaching by summertime.
Was that guy a DI coach? Was he 65 years old? Did he find a DI job?
Close. He was about 62.
get a room you two
I don't know why nobody has said this yet, but you're an idiot.
Maybe he's just having fun. I'm sure he's made enough money by now that he can afford to take some time off and maybe even take a few temp jobs now and then to keep things interesting. Just wait until he tries his hand at being a sandwhich artist. Dude will kill it.
he had a 2 year deal and is still getting paid by UM.
or you no clue what you're talking about. Fred Jackson's recruiting credentials alone could land him a job!
Josh Jackson is a junior at Saline. My guess is Freddie doesn't take a job until Josh is at Michigan.

There is no way he is subbing for Doc, right? Is it the other calc teacher who does AB?

Obviously it was. With Denard under center and Vince Smith as the tailback. Duh.
Can't create a thread on the board until you have at least 100 MGoPoints I believe.

You may want to sit out and observe for a while before starting a thread. Seriously, this board will eat you alive if you try to start one and don't know what you're doing.
And if you want to start a thread because you have some kind of inside information to report, I'm telling you right now that nobody will believe a poster whose account is a day old.
And it will be even worse if you want to start a thread to share your feelings on the QB situation, rival discipline problems, the Spring Game, or any other host of topics that you may feel you have a unique take on, but we promise, you do not.
Nobody belives most posters who have been here for years when they say they have "inside info."
I am convinced that in some language, somewhere, "inside info" means "I need at least ten people to tell me I'm full of shit and belittle my source."
Man, Harbaugh really does like those tight formations. If they're going to run a lot of that diamond type stuff I can see why they grabbed half the defense to try out there (well really just Winovich and Poggi I guess). Still, I like it. Combine basic and old-school concepts with modern tweaks. I think it will make a lot of people happy.
Yup and you have to factor in his predilection for mobile QBs. Or QBs with the ability to run. We're not going to be Ohio State, but our QBs will be asked to pick up yards here and there, move out of the pocket, create passing opportunities by moving around. Harbaugh's use of different formations and his incorporation of new concepts with traditional techniques is going to be fun to watch.
Pallante
That doesn't surprise me. It's been a big part of some running offenses, and it makes sense with the RB talent we have. We probably have three guys who could feasibly start (Isaac, Green, Smith) at tailback, plus a pretty decent fullback or two. Also, he ran some back-heavy stuff at Michigan, so this is just a variation on what he ran in college.
