JH Status

Business as usual at Schem.

Was told today that getting the extension and raises done before Bloody Monday was the plan. 

Another person, whom was recently hired ;)  has been told nothing other than ONWARD. (BTW he and the staff love the TE they offered yesterday from the 2025 class)  The recruiting department and few staffers working for the directors are shuffling around their responsibilities and making NIL a major focus.  Much more to come, but recruiting has probably 3-4 more people and extra resources being made available. 

Not sure if it's been reported but it looks like RO is taking a promotion, unless he takes the other job offer (I believe he would only leave if coach leaves)..

Lastly, sounds like JH has told people close to him (BTW this would not be ToddA-that guy..) that he would consider the NFL again in the right situation, I believe even WM knows this. 

IMO there is only one guy to hire (if we are talking legitimate options) if JH were to leave this year, LF. 

Cheers

Agreed. I'm sure Fickell would prefer the Ohio State job, though, and may be waiting to see if Ryan Day fucks up and gets fired (or moves onto the NFL).

However, if Day doesn't get fired or move on he could easily be there for 10-20 years. In which case Fickell is an idiot for not picking another higher level coaching job. Would he be an idiot for not picking Michigan if they offered him the job? It depends on his other prospects, but very possibly.

This all could be moot in a few years if Fickell has a couple of bad seasons and loses his luster.
