In all honesty I can’t believe he didn’t leave earlier. The backs were gaining chunk yardage and had a whole showcase drive where they successfully rammed it down Michigans throat. “Coach look what my guys can do when you feed them.” “That’s real good Alford, now check out this passing game, we have to feed all these 5 star receivers or they’ll leave / I’ll have to reevaluate my offensive system.”
I believe fairly frequently. There are usually ball boys for both teams on both sidelines carrying a duffle bag. The only reason to do that is if there are separate balls.
Oh you’re serious…apologies for peeing in your cornflakes I guess. No where did I demand an update and in fact even stated I hope it’s still a thing in the initial post. Seems like it is based on comments. In later posts I can even be seen saying things similar to take as long as needed just take my money.
Does that feel unreasonable? I kid. I’m just a content junkie living in the age of need it now. Since the former contributors articles have been a slow drop, I didn’t know if they were compiling them all for said recap magazine or if they were on a slow release schedule.
just enjoying the moment while I can before we are flooded with spring ball content and focus shifts almost entirely to next year.
I believe that means when possession changes during play, the visiting team then has an opportunity to use their balls (immature giggle) if they so choose. As long as the balls provided are within spec yes, I believe the dimensions could change by an ounce, an inch, etc.
I am not law savvy in any way but wouldn’t a contract involving institutions receiving state funding be required to make said contract public / available upon request? Also, weren’t admin from Clemson, Miami, FSU, Louisville, and a few Carolina schools talking openly about said details last year during all the realignment debacle? Are they going after all institutions or just FSU because they are literally trying to take their ball and leave?
“We got him, we finally got Harbaugh out of college football… oh wait, we made this into a really big deal…how do we spin it so we still get our pound of flesh? We go after the ADs!”
”we go after the job positions that are sticking up for us? Brilliant!”
Harbaugh has a history of success at every single stop he’s made along the way. Harbaugh’s recruiting while doubted at least put bodies in positions of need. Harbaugh’s in game tactical decisions (sans 2 minute drill) could almost always be justified. Harbaugh identified his own game plan flaws and brought in minds to fill in those gaps. Harbaugh and staff developed monsters.
This is Juwan’s first head coaching opportunity. Development has been slow/limited (see Jett Howard defense) or seems to have been accomplished purely by the players doing it on their own (see Hunter Dickinson 3 point shooting). Juwan has attempted to fill gaps on the roster to be repeatedly shot down by admissions (potentially not his fault) but then instead of grabbing someone to fill the gap…the gap remains (I.E. there is a single pure ball handler, that currently can’t go on road games). Juwan has not changed pieces on his staff despite: defense getting worse, development lacking, in game play calling being…questionable, etc.
Your constituents chose poorly. Harbaugh’s legacy is and will be that of a National Champion. You are clearly spoiled and don’t remember the RichRod and Hoke years.
His first priority is to answer to this board I’m sure. It’s definitely not to complete his staff, make recruiting plans, figure out his first spring practice, keep the players already in the locker room…
Lazy take. You’re upset a defensive player didn’t stick it out when literally every point of contact he had is gone. Sherrone IS a great recruiter but since he was the OC his focus was almost entirely offensive.
So in your opinion Harbaugh should wreck his chances in the pros by taking guys he doesn’t know instead of taking the guys he believes in? Jesse is a first time NFL coordinator and now he has an intact staff that knows his system and terminology. Does it suck for UM, sure but it’s incredibly smart for Harbaugh and Minter.
It was the staff he put together. The goal of all competitive people is to “do it in the pros”, can’t fault Harbaugh for providing opportunities for the guys that got him to the NC. Quality guys get quality offers.
Bakich didn’t go pro. Hockey is trending at the same level in spite of Warde. Whether it’s his fault or not he is the sitting AD during the collapse of basketball, the baseball downturn, and the unnecessary continued struggles of NIL for all athletes putting it on the line for the maize and blue. See my earlier posts about how he may be the luckiest AD on the planet. If he wants to tout being the leader and best, tOSU is putting their money where their mouth is and Michigan is what? Banking on good vibes and development to continue? His lack of support for and unwillingness to go to bat for Moore (this early on) will tank Moore’s HC career here and set the football program back years after just winning a National Championship.
Moore, I hope, is like Narauto. A good coach that Warde lucked into. He’s proven he can recruit, call plays, and manage game days on the road and in big games. Time will tell about the rest. The way he’s getting massive internal support is what’s driving me crazy. We were willing to give the assistants big raises…when Harbaugh was in charge but the same guys aren’t worth those raises now.
Most users probably won’t see this as it is either at the end of over 100 comments or sandwiched in the middle of 300 but…
my frustrations with Warde are easy and complex. It’s not that he had coaches in place that had Michigan competing for National Championships in FOUR (4) sports and bungled all 4 situations. It’s that he is coming across as a genuinely lazy dude to people not in the program. Hackett got Harbaugh so we got our first inkling with Men’s Hockey. Legendary coach Red Berenson NEEDED to hang it up, no fault there. Oh look easy hire Mel Pearson is right there waiting for the call…perfect. Praise from the fans, praise from alums. Perfect.
Beilein is tired, we all know he’s tired. But that man can coach. Don’t let him walk, find ways to make it easier on him and keep him. Maybe he really did have that “can I do the NBA itch”, maybe he just wanted one last challenge, but Warde let a man with no agent walk away. Fine, I guess. Beilein’s players and culture and some staff are still around to keep this going. Oh, and Juwan is calling me and putting together his own staff, easy. Easy.
Bakich has men’s baseball humming, going up against Vandy with minimal resources? It would be easy to allocate funds to our head baseball coach from our comically large AD budget, that keeps getting bigger because our donors just need me to tell them “make out to…” because screw NIL. Meh, it’s just baseball. (Honestly I got so frustrated about the baseball situation I stopped following the team…and yes I feel guilty about it but the write up on the coaching hire just made me surrender cobra). Oh look a dude that needs a job and will coach in the snow! Pfft it’s just baseball.
“Oh man…I’ve got this report on Mel…let me just put it under this huge desk calendar and I’ll shred it when I retire in a couple deca… HOW’D THEY FIND OUT ABOUT THIS REPORT?!?!?!” What do I do now…maybe I can just keep Mel around without paying him? Wait this is actually work…”oh an update yeah, so. We’re not renewing his contract it’s a whole thing.” Ugh it’s hockey, they actually like this sport in Michigan. What to do. Well everyone seems to like Narauto…yeah let’s hire him. (I’m glad this seems to be working but man how many of these situations will he luck into?)
The football coaching is apparent and happening now so no need to rehash. Oh and then there’s Juwan hit a guy - slap on the hand don’t do it again / please don’t make me make a hard decision. You got in an altercation with beloved by all Sanderson? What if we transition him to a new role? But seriously Juwan don’t do it again.
and then there’s the lack of support or guidance. Basketball struggling “Warde, do something. Anything.” Man I’m just trying to eat my popcorn and see how the season turns out. That’s what you said last year!
(I intentionally left off softball because Hutch legit retired and it’s too early to tell as the new coach has a alleged different philosophy)
warde may be a truly great guy, he’s almost got be given the character of the people that he works with. But to me his “Make Money, Money” approach while always taking the path of least resistance / path that keeps his feet propped on his desk are destroying programs that took decades to build. Sorry for the ramble, most won’t read it anyway so… it’s fine. Good night and go blue.
In fairness the second time was the B1G with the NCAA pulling the strings. If the conference isn’t willing to go to bat for its institutions it is a bit deflating.
Love Harbaugh. But unless the justification is that he built this program so well it could not be destroyed I don’t know that him only coaching half the year is enough to merit this reward.
Before WKU came to the FBS there was talk of the school shutting the football program down. So naturally Jack Harbaugh won the, then, I-AA national title and left the trophy on the doorstep of the university president. Some say it’s just a rumor. I wouldn’t be shocked if Harbaugh didn’t even get on stage and let Ono handle it.
You seem fixated on the almost imploded this off-season ACC. The more “likely” outcome would be the SEC for stability and future super conference reasons. “Likely” still being a very small chance.
The only way Michigan would leave is if they did something crazy like start a mega-conference…it’s not happening. The far more likely outcome is Michigan stays and plays nice until Tony really needs their vote on something and Ono just leaves the guy on hold.

Michigan coaches going to rival schools. I mean a jobs a job but you have to know how that will be received right?
With Yaklich and his son. With the understanding his son will take over in 2 years max.

Kentucky-ism maybe a southernism. The post in general was supposed to be light hearted, minus the part where I do routinely check Kickstarter.

Honestly the quality of writing these guys put out they can take as long as they want. I just want to make sure I don’t miss it.
Nah screw that, you get to bring that energy all the way to August at least.

Jaden is the source…hard to refute that. The question now is whether or not Michigan lets him go.
