I think there's a law in the state of Michigan that requires the University to post the position - and accept applicants to the position for seven (7) days.

My assumption is - the position has already been posted.

So - for those waiting to hear whether Sherrone is offered / accepts the position - well, we'll need to wait until sometime (I assume) next week.

From my perspective - hiring from within - with the importance of sustaining the culture - the schemes - the TEAM - is a very good thing.  And, it would please me greatly, if Michigan extends the offer to Sherrone - and he accepts.

Sherrone is relatively young for this position - and, as others have noted - has not been a "formal" head coach of a college team.  Sherrone's 37 years old - Bo was 40 when he became Michigan's head coach.   Jim brought experience which was valuable - and, I believe Sherrone's not only "smart", but also a quick study.

"Those who stay will be champions."

I'll be cheering for Michigan - the new head coach - and Teams 145, 146, etc...

Go Blue!

Wouldn't a well run athletic department at least post the position immediately just in case the waiver doesn't get granted so we can hire 7 days from Wednesday evening? 

If the waiver gets denied and then they post the job and we have to wait 7 days from that day, can we blame Warde?  

I don't see the posting on UofM's website as well.

Listen, I’m all for holding Warde Manuel accountable for his (lack of) actions whenever a decision needs to be made…

But blaming him for literally following the law is a little much. There’s a 7 day job posting requirement. We’re applying for a waiver. If that waiver isn’t granted, it’s not Warde’s fault. If that waiver is submitted but takes longer to process than 7 days, it’s not Warde’s fault.

I’m reminded of an Every 3 Weekly article titled “Everything is Chad Henne’s Fault”.

This is a pretty good demonstration of the problem with a lot of the criticism of Warde, though. Some stuff, like the Mel Pearson situation, is unqestionably a serious problem of his; but a lot of people criticize him for actions or inactions when they really don't know what is actually going on.

And, to be fair, while there has been some dumb anti-Warde stuff in the last week, most of what I've seen, even from long-time anti-Warde types, has tried to be fair in assessing that Harbaugh was probably not going to stay no matter what Warde did.

In this case, we have a documented issue that is not the responsibility of the AD.

The Warde thing is another notch in Harbaugh's decision making though.  I would truly like to know why they hated each other. Maybe it was 2020 and lowering Harbaugh's salary. Then again, maybe it was 2021 and Jimmy looks elsewhere, insulting Warde. Two strong A-types going after the same thing in different ways and butting heads. Irreconcilable differences as they say, I hope it all works out for everybody, and I believe it will. It MUST!

It's time - no more delay Warde. Hire Juwan. He is the right man at the right time.

I, personally, don't care who Harbaugh endorses at this time as he left. The cope of too many against better judgement will end up returning Michigan to mediocrity. I hope I am wrong but I see Michigan going 9-3 next year and Moore getting fired within four years. 

Michigan is putting Moore a man with only four games experience and even then just coaching on game day in a position to fail. This doesn't help Moore or Michigan. 

I have re-watched game film of the last five games and I had to fast forward because the offense did much of nothing for large portions of the game. The Alabama game nearly ended in defeat and Washington was allowed to hang around because the offense did nothing in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. We were able to over come this because we had Harbaugh, now everyone here expects the same results with a man who has virtually no head coaching experience. 

I for see this what I will call an experiment ending badly.

Hopefully we can quickly and effectively close this out, retain Herbert and as many coaches as possible, flesh out the rest of the staff (e.g., DC) and move on to the business of defending the title against a relatively tough schedule.

 

but perhaps we will make it harder than it needs to be
