Is Warde working on Bakich's raise?
Is Warde working on Bakich's raise? It would really suck to lose him to a Pac 12 or SEC school willing to invest more into their baseball program. I realize that it is around the 4th of July but it has been over a week since the end of the baseball season with no word about any negotiations.
Yes.
I’m working on it
If you announce it, would that be a recruiting violation??? I know....

I think we just discovered what is causing the California earthquakes.
Raise? Pretty sure that dude is getting fired.
He'll undoubtedly be the first fired employee in the history of the University of Michigan to get a raise. If that doesn't make him a leader and best, nothing ever will.
He told me you were working on it!
yes, why hasn't warde manuel made an announcement to you, internet dipstick, about whether he is negotiating a new contract with one of his employees?

I thought this was a WD post; I had to scroll back up to the check the OP's user ID.
I’ll take responsibility for this post guys. Just a few minutes earlier I made a wish for more content on the board, given the relative lack of it the past few days. Serves me right for not being more prescriptive in my wish, specifying my desire for good content.
I was going to OP something about why I'm tired of Stranger Things but reason intervened and I sat my ass on the throne instead.
Whatever you produced on said throne would have been a better post than this thread.
Reminds me of my favorite urinal graffiti of all time: “Why are you looking up here? The joke is in your hands.”
During a dry period in my dating life I was standing at the urinal and the graffiti said "shake hands with unemployment."
He's reminded of, "favorite urinal graffiti of all time."
I'm sitting on the throne right now
Ball game!
I am sure he is but I do not think there is a big rush in terms of losing him this year.
Notre Dame is/was the only P5 school with an opening after the season once FSU was resolved. Although they are technically in the ACC, Bakich has put himself in a position to take a top tier ACC/SEC/PAC job If and when he decides to leave M and I just don’t see ND as that team.
There are only 4 coaching vacancies in all of D1 right now. Two of them (Bryant and IUPU-Fort Wayne) are non-starters. The other two (Louisiana-Lafayette and Notre Dame) are schools that would absolutely contact Bakich.
Notre Dame would be, to be blunt, a stupid move for him. Worse facilities in a worse city and a conference where the school will hold a permanent disadvantage. The only advantage would be the fact that he has recruited Chicago & Indianapolis heavily throughout his career here, and ND has a money cannon and a not-so-secret desire to annoy Michigan whenever possible.
Louisiana would certainly be interested too, but I really don't have a feel for what they want or whether they are able to afford him.
I hate asking for raises. I hate it when people ask me for a raise. Of course, I'm not connected with anyone that just took their northern college baseball team to a lead in the championship game of the College World Series. So maybe I lack perspective or scale in this discussion.
Nothing worse than a Bakich you can't reach.
This made me laugh.
No he's researching Revolutionary War airport battles.
I see what you did there.
I did nothing. I simply pulled out a random assortment of words and posted them as my comment.
"I simply pulled out a random assortment of words"
That's the sign of a true genius. Some might even call it a very stable genius.
Be honest. You copied them off your home teleprompter.
"Revolutionary War draft dodgers for $1000, Alex!"
These things take time, pal. Bakich himself has said he wants to stay, and Warde would never let this man slip through his fingers. Warde is much smarter than many on this board (including myself) have given him credit for. I’ve bashed on him many times for the ND scheduling debacle. But those are small potatoes in the grand scheme.
A deal WILL he worked out. Don’t worry about it.
I thought you were organizing a GoFundMe page to take care of the salary issue?
This is the kind of post that makes me wonder if somebody gained unauthorized access to an account.
Damn dude, take a chill pill...Why are you so concerned about Eric’s salary? They are grown men, they’ll figure it out.
Nope
Why do you assume that the parties involved would be making public statements about it in the first place?
Also hope he's fixing the football schedule
He gon’
umbig11, don't even kid around like that.
Luckily, fake insider doesn't know a damn thing!
Oh goodie! I already live in a household full of women, let’s add some more hysteria to my evening.
You’re killing me smalls
Tremendous. I’m okay with not playing MSU for a year to even out the home schedule.
Nah, probably just gonna say he was surprised once Bakich lands in the MLB.
Warde’s still working on his dinner right now
I'm sure they'll let you know as soon as they have something
Just wow!
If you have been on this board for 7 years and 38K points, you should know better than to start a thread like this.
He should, even though he's a goblin
He'll get to it right after he finishes the new Beilein deal.
