Wait, isn't this the guy that wrote the contract which extended Jimbo Fisher’s contract from 3 to 10 years? Later, after being noncompetitive in the SEC and fired by the schools regents, Jimbo was given $76M to leave?
Now, are we sure Sabin is really going to retire? The last he changed jobs, at Miami, he denied it over and over. Then he announced he was leaving for Bama. Maybe this be smoke. He’s sneaky like that.
Offer JH an eye-popping deal. Make the deal TOO good to pass up. Hand delivered by Santa.
$18M/year deal for 10 years. Highest paid coach in NCAA by far.
A statue of him in #4 jersey, wearing a headset, holding a chicken, with that 11 year old ball boy visible in the shadow
Plan to name a building the Harbaugh Family Legacy Center.
Build his family a mansion in Ann Arbor.
Support his personal crusade to pay Student Athletes with a separate legal team
Make it SUCH AN EASY button to stay at Michigan until he retires. He can get anything he wants, new AD, NIL, a chocolate milk machine in his office.
There are resources at Michigan to pay him. The AD's budget is $200M, with $50M to football. The BIG10 TV money is $80-100M annually and rising. We have successful boosters that the school can reach out to.
Michigan is the biggest and the BEST. Put it in writing.
Set him up to eventually retire in 10 years, with a legacy bigger than Bo Schembechler, leaving his handpicked guys in place to continue his passion.
Replacing Bo and Lloyd started decades of "dark times". Replacing the perfect fit will be VERY DIFFICULT. There are some good candidates, but none are JH.
Matching the NFL deals is not enough. We need an offer that no NFL team can match.
If I am Santa Ono and Ward Manuel, I would not let Jim decision to go to the NFL be on easy one. I've heard "matching" NFL money, but that will not be enough to turn him back.
Throw down a huge number, like $18M/year for 10 years with no NFL interest unless mutually acceptable.
Give him a statue in his #4 jersey and headset on.
Plan to name a building the "Harbaugh Family Legacy Center".
Build his family a mansion in Ann Arbor. Give each of his young kids acceptance letters NOW.
The athletic department budget is $215M, $50M for Football alone. It receives $80-$100M from the Big Ten from TV rights. The money will continue to grow. Make him the highest paid coach in America, by far.
Replacing Bo and Lloyd started decades of "Dark Times". There may be qualified coaching candidates to replace Jim, but why change? Keep a good thing going. He is 60, lock him up until he wants to retire.
The contract has to raise his eyebrows. Show him the love that no NFL team can offer. Get him the NIL support so it's never an issue for the players he wants. He can create a Legendary Dynasty and be the nation's leading advocate for paying student-athletes. Support him with a team of lawyers fighting the NCAA.
He doesn't have to leave Michigan to make him feel better. He can make a difference right in here in Ann Arbor. Make the offer TOO GOOD to pass up.
Roman's catch of the tipped pass in the Rose Bowl. If he doesn't pull that in there is no TD, no OT, no game in Houston. It was over if that ball hits the turf.
If Indiana, DeBoer, and Pennix don't beat Michigan in 2020, Harbaugh may not have hired new assistants, particularly McDonald as DC and promoting Moore to OL coach. They had a part in creating what would become Team 144.
Last night doesn't happen without the "dark place" pain of 2020....
Fish is traditionally Eastern European. Pan fried with mashed potatoes. This year, it’s Tilapia.
My parents emigrated from Czechoslovakia. Traditionally, We would have fried Carp (bones and all) and Potato Salad on Christmas Eve. If lucky, we’d make fish egg soup! My dad had to buy the carp in Hamtramack, but the Polish stores have faded away. Much harder to find (other than a pond) The store owner made him buy the entire huge fish because he didn’t have enough carp customers. Often, my dad would negotiate (in native language) in the parking lot with other Czechs or Poles to split the fish he just bought.
When I was in college, late 80’s, we drank Weideman’s Beer. $5/case at Kroger and that INCLUDED the deposit…… the labels fell off pulling the bottle pulling it from the reusable case.
Moore and Minter both signed new three year contracts $1.125-1.25M. The highest paid assistants for Clemson/OSU/Washington//LSU are all close to $2M
Put a contract in from of them for $2.0M now. They will have their chance at a HC, but they won’t need to take a challenge like an Indiana or an MSU. They can wait for the right spot
The NCAA allowed Urban (hired mid season for next year) to recruit while Finkle coached his miserable season at OSU. Urban and his staff could recruit 100% of their time. Maximizing every recruiting phone call and trip, while the rest for the nation had to coach/practice/admin. He was able to get a HUGE jump to any normal transition. It set him up for several years.
Has any other school received a jumpstart like that?
“Sign Stealing”. I would have expected by now true Media professionals would call it what it was, “in person scouting”. Everyone one tries to steal signals and predict plays. There is enough known evidence to call it what it was.
Until they finally call it what it was, they are social media drama queen whores who try to get clicks and attention.
Lou Holtz left a trail at 5 schools (NC State, Minnesota, Arkansas, Notre Dame, South Carolina) of NCAA violations.
He should NOT be talking.
The pot is calling the kettle black.
At the hearing, the Big10 lawyers will call star witness, ESPN's Pete Thamel to the stand.
Mr. Thamel will inform the court that he has evidence of Stalions and Harbaugh coordination of the (incorrectly blamed) Chinese Spy Balloons.
With used vacuum cleaner parts and plans from an ACME Secret Spy Kit No. 4, Stallions built the balloons. Harbaugh was providing trained chicken pilots.
Would the Judge agree there is no difference if she and her team reads all of the background on a case for a week and then on the court date, she steps aside for her clerk (or another person) to render the judgment?
What could happen? The clerk wasn’t hired to be in that position to make that decision. Could the clerk make a decision that could not be corrected later?

This means that his brother in law, Tom Crean, has to sit at the kids table alone.
Even Izzo felt bad for Tom and gave him a ring for the 2000 Title with MSU, even though he left for Marquette in 1999. Maybe they were glad he left?

I've been a Michigan fan since 1975, my older brother's Freshman year at Michigan.
Since 1997, there have been some low points being a Michigan Football Fan...(not a complete list)
There have been some great moments since 1997, but Team 144 is SPECIAL.
Go Blue.

Did you have "blame the QB" on your Buckeye Blame Bingo (3B) card?

Harbaugh reaches his hand out first, Petiti awkwardly shakes it.
Harbaugh smiles and says "What your deal?"

Hail to Pitt! My son graduated from there…
Tonight: Bourbon on ice.
Bonus: Narduzzi (Nardog) is not going to East Landfill. Nobody wants that job.
We should have hired Mike Morse.
Harbaugh was paying Stalions in cheeseburgers. That’s why he didn’t want to discuss it.
Lou Holtz left a trail at 5 schools (NC State, Minnesota, Arkansas, Notre Dame, South Carolina) of NCAA violations.
He should NOT be talking.
The pot is calling the kettle black.
They should change his position to Defensive Back.
Then he will then be known as DB Cooper.
At the hearing, the Big10 lawyers will call star witness, ESPN's Pete Thamel to the stand.
Mr. Thamel will inform the court that he has evidence of Stalions and Harbaugh coordination of the (incorrectly blamed) Chinese Spy Balloons.

Corum didn’t get to play much in Columbus last year.

How much do you think he’s willing to give to win in Ann Arbor in 14 days?
They probably told PSU in the tunnel at half time, “Let us help you, you don’t need our signals, we are gonna run the ball down your throat.”
4-0 without a head coach!
