Jim has wanted the NFL for…

Jim has wanted the NFL for the last three years and he found the situation in LA to be exactly what he wanted.  UM was always his back up plan.  It's time to realize he wanted that more then staying here.  Good luck to him and time to move on with Moore.

Has anyone stopped to think…

Has anyone stopped to think that maybe it was the same way with the Chargers?  It's possible they weren't willing to give Jim everything he wanted.  Then heard UM caved and then gave into his demands.  

I really think deep down Jim wanted one more kick at the can to win the superbowl and he was looking for any reason to leave UM and go to the NFL.  He has found it and I wish him luck.  He had a very good coaching staff working with him at UM that are just as responsible for the success of the team as him.  UM will move on and be just fine as there are many coaches who can lead them to success.  This day was going to come someday and it just so happen to get here sooner then I think most of us wanted.  People thought we would never survive Bo retiring but we moved ahead as we will now.  Thanks Coach Jim, good luck and I look forward to seeing what Coach Moore does with this team now

Good luck Jim.  Now lets…

Good luck Jim.  Now lets quickly get Moore as the HC and keep as much of the staff intact as we can

This is exactly right. …

This is exactly right.  Everyone who has put something out there is basically throwing shit against a wall and see what sticks.  There are like 5 different reports just today as where JH even is.   No one really knows whats going on until Jim makes a decision and signs a contract. 

There is probably a lot in…

There is probably a lot in play here.  It's possible the Chargers also like other candidates they have interviewed and aren't 100% sold on Jim either.  Everyone assumes Harbaugh is every NFL teams first choice and dream hire.  There are a lot of good candidates out there and Jim is just one of them.   It sounding like Michigan is now giving Jim a contract he may not be able to refuse and everyday that goes by that he's not going to the NFL makes it more likely he is UM's coach for a while more

Something I think people…

Something I think people overlook is there is a good chance he never gets an offer from an NFL team either.  Every team looking for a coach is interviewing some very good candidates.  Everyone just assumes Jim is every NFL teams first choice.  I think Vrabel will land another HC job.  I think Mr. Hoodie will be given very serious consideration  by the Falcons, as well as at least a half other very good and qualified coaches being interviewed.   

I don't think it's a done deal Jim even gets an NFL offer.

More then likely Sherrone…

More then likely Sherrone would be the head coach.  Everyone thinks Jim takes Minter with him, but he might also ask Moore to be his OL/OC at the next level also....

Exactly the whole thing is…

Exactly the whole thing is held up because Harbaugh is making some ridiculous demands 

My question if Harbaugh has…

My question if Harbaugh has been up front and honest about everything why is he so concerned about something else coming out from the investigation? I think UM has been very fair with Jim and you can’t just sell the farm and not have any control over an employee.  I think Jim needs to give a little also on these demands. Either he does or he really doesn’t want to be at UM anymore 

ESPN is reporting that it’s…

ESPN is reporting that it’s a done deal. Great hire for Washington 

The chargers are also 40…

The chargers are also 40 million over the salary cap. They are facing a long rebuild. Plus they have no home field advantage playing in LA. To me not a good situation to go into to

Devils advocate here as the…

Devils advocate here as the contract is a two way street.  If Harbaugh has been honest and told them everything then this investigation should conclude with no more penalties. If that is the case then why does Harbaugh need assurances beyond the contract language. He’s asking the University to guarantee millions of dollars on his word. Why not signed the contract knowing you’re in the right and UM is showing they still want you with a new contact? 

The bear hug could mean a…

The bear hug could mean a lot of things. It’s possible he doesn’t feel the university is backing him up enough with the BS investigations.   Maybe he wants them to stand up to the NCAA and Big and tell them to pack sand and leave Jim alone. From what I’ve seen we’ve kind of rolled over to them and left Jim out to dry 

No matter the relationship…

No matter the relationship Warde has with JH. Right now his biggest job description is keep Jim. Tomorrow he should have Jim in his office close the door and like a good AD just say Jim we want you to stay here until you retire. What do you need from us to make this happen?  Both parties be adult here and hammer something out and get a lifetime contract signed.  I would tell him it’s for as long as you want to coach and you can groom your replacement. We start at 12 million next year and every year we increase it by 500K. When your ready to retire you name your replacement and we move on with that man 

Exactly Milk. Any hire is a…

Exactly Milk. Any hire is a bit of a crap shoot. Moore did a great job when he had to and is a big reason this program is having such great success. We have very capable coaches at UM now who can step in and be the HC is Jim were to leave 

Exactly continue to build…

Exactly continue to build your legacy at UM. Win multiple NCs. Retire with all kinds of records and have something named after you. 
Seems like people can’t just stay in one place anymore and continue success.  Jim can do what he wants I just think there’s a lot to be said about staying at Michigan 

Natty comes to UM tonight. I…

Natty comes to UM tonight. I don’t know why but have a good feeling like we win the game a little easier then most think. Something like 38-24. Go Blue

The only suspense will be…

The only suspense will be finding out who gave him the most cash as that is where he is going.  Good luck to him with that choice 

Most rationale fans who…

Most rationale fans who understand the game think this whole UM sign stealing crap is just stupid and way overblown. Hell many coaches have even rolled their eyes about it as it happens all across the board.  People point fingers at UM and calling them cheaters need to get off their high horse and check their own house 

That’s a scenario I had not…

That’s a scenario I had not thought of but now you mention it a transfer really wouldn’t be that shocking.  
I really hope he sticks around another year. If he’s thinking NFL he needs to show more as he might not even get drafted. I think next year he would get more touches and can display more of his skill set. Will be interesting to see what he does 

I don’t think catapult was…

I don’t think catapult was ever under investigation.  They are investigating if a school tried to access others schools information through catapult. Two different things 

Michigan has the right game…

Michigan has the right game plan for tomorrow and wins 28-20

They can’t beat us so they…

They can’t beat us so they hope someone else can 

Balas is a hack and always…

Balas is a hack and always has been. Never give money to anything he is associated with. The guy throws shit against a wall and once in a blue moon he is right and then he plays it off like he knows what he’s talking about 

Don’t understand why people…

Don’t understand why people keep saying these games are meaningless. The fans, players and coaches do care and play their asses off in these games.   So I ask if Michigan was playing in one of these games would you not watch and cheer for UM. It’s still UM players and maybe players who will need to lead the team next year. These kids worked their tails off this year and now get a chance to play 

If games didn’t mean anything why show conference records? Why does the game go on a teams season record?  Why do teams get a trophy to put in their trophy case. 
Yes these games are not as big as CFP but they are not meaningless 

Yes I did catch it in the…

Yes I did catch it in the movie. Very good movie. Not nearly as good as the book but still very enjoyable 

It’s not asinine. You are…

It’s not asinine. You are trying to secure your programs future. That is a two way street. Michigan is making a commitment Harbaugh needs to do the same thing 

Problem is we will get kids…

Problem is we will get kids who never leave college. Time for him to move. Give the next level a try or use your degree to get a job. 

Actually three sides to…

Actually three sides to every story. Yours mine and the cold hard truth. I’m guessing the truth lies somewhere between their two stories 

Scott Frost treated coaching…

Scott Frost treated coaching like he was a frat boy. 

Damn not only is their…

Damn not only is their football boring but so is the drive in to have to see it 

  Caring about development…

  Caring about development is just as stupid as saying they care about academics anymore. It’s all about the money 

Damn that is young. RIP Eric 

Damn that is young. RIP Eric 

Yep as stupid as when…

Yep as stupid as when Nebraska was running off good coaches who were going 9-3. Well look at where they are now. Would love to see the same thing happen to OSU 

I think it’s more of get rid…

I think it’s more of get rid of it as a way for pay to play. These guys are getting paid so they are professional athletes. They can also do commercials and other things to make even more money. Just no need to call it NIL

It’s only a great hire if…

It’s only a great hire if Frost stops acting like a frat boy parting every night and showing up late to meeting hung over 

The difference is that we…

The difference is that we have all seen Juwan  do very stupid things in public and act in a way that is embarrassing to the program, school and fans. He has been talked to about it and yet we are now hearing again he’s acting the same way 

How many times does this have to happen before you finally cut ties?  Coaching ability is one thing. Being a black eye for the school time and time again is a problem and a character flaw that doesn’t seem like it’s going to change 

He didn’t call him out in…

He didn’t call him out in public he did it at a practice. Howard’s kid being a jerk might have been the straw that broke the camels back. I tend to believe the Juwan is a jerk and believe there is a problem with how bad this team has been the last couple of years. Definitely worse than they should be for their talent. There is obviously a problem 

They can take UM’s place…

They can take UM’s place when we bolt this conference so maybe next month would work 

Good luck to him. He has…

Good luck to him. He has some talent and if he finds the right situation could still have some success 

He should’ve been fired then…

He should’ve been fired then. Seems Juwan has had too many issues with anger and if he hit a coach on his staff he needs to be fired immediately 

Exactly. It’s the situation…

Exactly. It’s the situation where you say we finished last with you we can finish last without you 

Great point. I’m not a Noles…

Great point. I’m not a Noles fan but what a bunch of BS. They were in the top 4 when play started on Saturday. They go out and win their game to become ACC champions and remain undefeated. Yet a team 4 spots below them jump them in the final standings.  That is a tragedy and the committee should be ashamed of themselves for putting Alabama ahead of them 

Boring Iowa game for first…

Boring Iowa game for first half low scoring. Then UM puts together some nice drives and grinds out easy victory 31-7

This is CP’s take. We have…

This is CP’s take. We have only a little piece of UM’s take. But usually what I find is there are three sides to every story:  yours mine and the cold hard truth 

He had every right to leave…

He had every right to leave and seek playing time elsewhere. I for one have no problem with that. Players do not all the time and have the right. Where I have a problem is how he left and things he said. 
Look your leaving. No one does it unless they aren’t happy with where they are. Fine but don’t run out the door and bitch about the program because you got beat out. Deal with it. Be mature and just leave. 

You’ve got that right and…

You’ve got that right and over the years it seems to have gotten worse. People are all about themselves and don’t care if they inconvenience people and are just plain pain in the asses. Not sure why it keeps going in this direction but it’s sad 

This will be a close one but…

This will be a close one but UM wins 24-20

exactly JJ is not going in the first round   If he heads to the draft he’s a mid round pick. Another very good season in college would vault him to first round

Michigan is mad and will take it out on PSU 34-13
