Which camp are you in if Harbaugh leaves?

Number 2 for me.  The whole friendship with Stapleton and lack of communication with Harbaugh is what pushes me to this "camp". 

I'm fine with whatever he decides. 

I'm in the camp that says binary options are false choices.  Our fanbase is far more sophisticated than the OP gives it credit for, and thinks in more nuanced ways.

Sorry, I really don’t like camping.  Is there a nearby hotel I can stay in?

Which camp are you in if Harbaugh stays?

Watching people find every possible excuse to hate Warde is simply tiring. 

Jim Harbaugh needs to do what’s best for him and his family… he did what he was brought here to do … beat the hairless nuts , restore the program to be amongst the best in college football and most importantly to win a National Championship … he has set a foundation for further excellence… whether Warde or the regents or the lawyers are at fault or made it so Jim felt he had no choice but to leave we may never know unless someone speaks !!! Don’t want to read any bs that he owes us , he owes us nothing, he endured shit beyond shit in 2020 and I as well questioned whether he  had reached the end … GO BLUE !!!’ 

It’s hard to blame Warde if Harbaugh’s goal is to win the Super Bowl. Sometimes when something happens in life it’s not anyone’s fault. Harbaugh delivered one of the greatest championships in school history. If he wants to pursue the NFL, he has earned that right. Harbaugh built a great infrastructure with the current staff and players on the team. It will continue on with or without him. 

How could anyone blame Warde? The decision is completely on Harbaugh. 

I'd be in the "sad" camp. Big rebuild job coming up if he stays or goes, but I'd rather he stay home.

Harbaugh can do whatever he wants. He gave us a title.

Is there a Choice 3?

between those two, i'd be more in camp 1 - he accomplished what he came to Ann Arbor to do, and if he still has that yearning to win a Superbowl, on the heels of a National Championship seems like a great time to go chase that dream.

2.  Firmly. There seems to be enough evidence to support that over the years  

How is it Warde's fault if Jim doesn't sign a contract? 

I’ll be in the same camp I’ve always been in.

Cheering on Michigan teams - in every sport - every time they compete.

Go Blue!

1. 

There was a reason this NFL drama played out every year and it wasn't Warde.

If it happens (which I assume will), I'd be in your first camp.

I mean, if your significant other shows up on a dating site year after year after year.... you should have hopefully figured out that they've got an itch to scratch and they're going to leave eventually.

Michigania. In the Stephen M. Ross Sanitorium, Separation Anxiety wing.

Harbaugh wants to go to the NFL. This isn't new info. 

He’s staying

Silly to take a side when we don’t know all the dynamics or what the sticking point is. Given that basically nothing insiders have told us has come to pass, I point no credence in any of the rumors about why the process has not progressed.

For whatever it’s worth, JJ joined the crowd yesterday in cheering for 10 more years for Harbaugh. 

I've said this a couple of times - if Harbaugh leaves Warde is taking all the blame, rightly or wrongly.  Regardless of the reason he goes, to scratch a Super Bowl itch or whatever of a thousand other possible reasons, the bad press Warde consumed throughout SignGate and the forced 3 games for Cheeseburgers before the NCAA ruled anything, is going to do him in.  Warde can't win...

Lets be serious, the fanbase turned on him in the Spring with cheeseburgers.  Signs only amplified the bd pub.  There are more posts here calling for him to be fired than not by a 3:1 ratio (in my informal observations).  If Harbaugh leaves, 4 of 5 rando fans are going to blame Warde and call for his firing.  If JH says anything about the NCAA uncertainty on the way out, Warde won't be able to survive the fan reaction.

Doesn't matter what Warde does, he's going to eat the blame.

If he leaves, I a) won’t blame Warde because it has nothing to do with him and B) be a little annoyed at Harbaugh and JJ for not declaring their intentions to leave sooner because they’re leaving us behind the 8-ball for next year. 

Warde’s job becomes untenable if Harbaugh leaves. People will, rightly or wrongly, blame him for Harbaugh’s departure.

Then there is his track record of hires. Mel and Juwan. Yikes.

I suspect that a committee will be set up to hire next HC. Thus removing, at least publicly, Warde from the hiring process.

It will probably be Moore as all the possible quality candidates will have been hired.

I think there is very clearly an opportunity to keep harbaugh here with the right terms and I have absolutely no issue giving Jim whichever terms he wants. I'm not sure why that isn't the admin's position, short of allowing him full control of academic operations at the school.

NFL still has to want him, which we haven't really seen evidence of yet (NFL media certainly does). He's 20-25 years older than the guys most teams are hiring for head coaches and GM jobs. He's (wrongly) viewed as a caveman offense guy. And — at least at this stage — the reporting seems more "this would be super interesting from a media perspective" than "he's got a done deal" - unless the Chargers are running the most diligent, air-tight coaching search in the history of NFL football and elaborately conning everyone by interviewing a broad swath of the conventional candidates. 

I certainly am not going to blame Warde Manuel.  I can imagine that Jim wants to make sure his last contract is one that suits his family too.  

I am worried that he might leave but its seems like more than a 50% probability that he stays.

He came back. He won a national championship. He can  go enjoy the spoils of the NFL and not deal with the BS of the NCAA
