President Ono Says Harbaugh Will Return
Tweet to that effect.
January 16th, 2023 at 5:08 PM ^
Have to imagine this is what Ono meeting with Manuel next is going to look like.
January 16th, 2023 at 6:17 PM ^
"I take the contract from Harbaugh to Santa"
"Well, why can't Harbaugh just take the contract to Santa himself?"
"IM A PEOPLE PERSON!"

- I'm hoping that the hearts read as "ONO" in my above homage to Santa
January 16th, 2023 at 5:09 PM ^
Great! But, did Jim assure Ono that this won’t be an annual event?
January 16th, 2023 at 5:11 PM ^
I think he saves that line for Mitch Albom
January 16th, 2023 at 5:22 PM ^
Albom said that Harbaugh told him it wouldn’t happen again while they were attending an MSU basketball game with Mateen Cleaves. /s
January 16th, 2023 at 5:09 PM ^
Michigan Football is better with Jim Harbaugh than without.
I'll die on this hill.
Go Blue.
PS - Thanks Santa!
January 16th, 2023 at 5:23 PM ^
I'll kill you on this hill!
January 16th, 2023 at 5:10 PM ^
Very weird way to communicate this. I can only assume this was Harbaugh’s wish, to express frustration with the AD ? This seems deeply dysfunctional
January 16th, 2023 at 5:12 PM ^
time for Warde to hit the portal
January 16th, 2023 at 5:12 PM ^
🎅 the 🐐
January 16th, 2023 at 5:14 PM ^
Freaking awesome!!! ...Now let's also figure out who's next in line and get them trained up so they can step in if or when the time comes.
January 16th, 2023 at 5:15 PM ^
Merry Christmas!! Thanks Santa!!
January 16th, 2023 at 5:15 PM ^
Some make things happen, some watch things happen and then there are people like Warde who must be wondering WTH just happened. :/
January 16th, 2023 at 5:16 PM ^
What luck, I'm sure all the players who stayed are shocked!
Warde didn't get thrown under the bus, it ran him over.
January 16th, 2023 at 5:32 PM ^
Maybe those players who announced they are coming back, like 3/5th of our OL and maybe even Blake Corum knew the odds were very likely knew that Jim was not leaving.
Did the bus run over Warde? Probably. He'd be the only casualty in this.
January 16th, 2023 at 5:17 PM ^
Get Warde the F outta here please
January 16th, 2023 at 5:17 PM ^
Well-done, Mr. President!
January 16th, 2023 at 5:17 PM ^
Wondering if there is a contract extension and or what are the details?
January 16th, 2023 at 5:19 PM ^
Great news.Only 2 coaches can justify a higher salary Saban and Smart.I wonder about Warde and Jim’s relationship after this go round.I wonder if Warde knows his place in the pecking order.
January 16th, 2023 at 5:22 PM ^
Like Gordon Gee and Tressel.
January 16th, 2023 at 5:19 PM ^
Santa delivers
January 16th, 2023 at 5:23 PM ^
This is great news...for everyone except Warde. He needs to fire up the ol' resume.
January 16th, 2023 at 5:25 PM ^
Great news. Regarding Warde, I think too many people assume he has the power and authority to do more than he can do. More specifically, with NIL, with admissions requirements for transfers, and even some with the salaries of assistant coaches, Warde can't unilaterally approve what I'm pretty sure Harbaugh is asking for.
January 16th, 2023 at 5:56 PM ^
Please don't use facts because this muddles the lies that are continually posted in here about certain business decisions that just cannot be made by one single entity.
January 16th, 2023 at 9:09 PM ^
You may be correct. But it's obvious Jim must have been very dissatisfied with the way Manuel was handling the negotiations. Enough where he felt he had to go over Warde's head. I don't think Jim would have done that if he felt Warde was being fair with him or doing his best to reach an agreement.
January 16th, 2023 at 5:27 PM ^
The deal is done. Three of five OL guys are coming back. Corum stays, Cornelius Johnson stays. That's just on offense. Maybe it was in the tea laves that bode well for this deal to close with Jim resigning.
Yes, there are more details to come. Today is a good day! Go Blue!
January 16th, 2023 at 5:29 PM ^
Really I'm just here for the Posbang
January 16th, 2023 at 5:29 PM ^
Great news. Go Blue. Beat Ohio.
January 16th, 2023 at 5:31 PM ^
Some stuff signaled in that tweet.
January 16th, 2023 at 5:32 PM ^
bai warde hi jim
January 16th, 2023 at 5:34 PM ^
Jim Harbaugh:
"I love the relationships that I have at Michigan — coaches, staff, families, administration, President Santa Ono and especially the players and their families."
There's a name in there that's conspicuous by its absence.
January 16th, 2023 at 5:58 PM ^
Don what name do you see included in that message? Because unless you need a calculator there is only one name used.
January 16th, 2023 at 6:32 PM ^
??? Do you know what the phrase "conspicuous by its absence" means?
January 16th, 2023 at 5:35 PM ^
Big News !!!
This is very enlightening though with regard to Warde.
Usually a University President would make every effort to protect the reputation of the Athletic Director, even when they are a dead man walking. For the President to make a statement so clear that he was one that negotiated and got the deal done is really disparaging for Warde. Santa really has nothing really to gain by taking all the credit, as he is the President of the University and has huge responsibilities elsewhere.
January 16th, 2023 at 8:12 PM ^
Yeah, I'm pretty uneasy with how this went down, re: the conspicuous absence of Warde in the statements. I think people should be treated with respect unless they do something egregious or illegal, and I don't think having a difference of opinion on NIL or salary negotiations falls into either of those categories. If they don't see eye-to-eye on something and it's time for Warde to move on, fine. But doing it this way seems kind of petty.

January 16th, 2023 at 9:33 PM ^
Still?
January 16th, 2023 at 10:44 PM ^
If there are no serious extenuating circumstances, then I'd tend to agree. But we don't know.
January 17th, 2023 at 6:43 AM ^
Isn't the AD part of Administration?
January 16th, 2023 at 5:37 PM ^
Hoping to see JH stick around for the long term. He's young enough that if he wanted to, he could retire as the winningest football coach we've ever had. Yeah, a Super Bowl is nice but lots of coaches have that. Only one coach can win more games at the winningest program in the country than anyone else, so why not try for that instead?
EDIT: Looks like he's 120 wins back of Bo....just need 8 straight 15-0 seasons to tie him.
You'd think at some point the longer he stays here, the less appealing he would be to an NFL team. I mean if Vince Lombardi came back from the dead, would he be your first choice for an NFL coach in today's NFL? Obviously that analogy doesn't quite work, but you get the idea.
January 16th, 2023 at 5:42 PM ^
Sounds like the NFL doesn’t want him again lol.
That’s fine, maybe he can step up his recruiting now.
January 16th, 2023 at 5:44 PM ^
Need a stud QB and 2 top tier RB in the 2024 class. Good chance Edwards is gone as well after this upcoming season.
January 16th, 2023 at 6:19 PM ^
Not saying it's going to happen, but Drew Henson may have one year of eligibility remaining, plus he can also punt.
January 16th, 2023 at 5:43 PM ^
Warde was busy finding ways of making sealing wax.
January 16th, 2023 at 8:48 PM ^
Never could understand why people needed to wax their ceilings.
January 16th, 2023 at 9:36 PM ^
The answer is up to you!
