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

Donovan McNabb is, but most Michigan fans have struggled with his recommendations since 1998.
January 8th, 2022 at 4:18 PM ^
Sorry who is RO and LF?
January 8th, 2022 at 4:21 PM ^
Ryan Osborn, and , I think, Luke Fickell.
January 8th, 2022 at 4:19 PM ^
So best guess. Does JH stay and do they have all raises done before bloody Monday
January 8th, 2022 at 4:37 PM ^
Best guess is Harbaugh stays but demands to be HC, AD and president of the university.
January 8th, 2022 at 4:20 PM ^
So Oz is waiting to see what Jim Harbaugh does? Oz still is identifying with M on his twitter.... as long as that's a real account I guess. Conspiracy theorists what to know.
WWJHD?
OZ GO BLUE MAN!
January 8th, 2022 at 4:22 PM ^
That was a long time ago - Oz has backed out of coaching at UConn and they've already filled the role with someone else.
January 8th, 2022 at 4:42 PM ^
Yeah, I know. It's just a cute video, that's all.
I'm hoping he does end up hired as D Line coach here.
January 8th, 2022 at 4:20 PM ^
RO is Roy Orbison......come on guys
January 8th, 2022 at 4:32 PM ^
Terrible coach but he sings a beautiful rendition of "Crying" at halftime.
January 8th, 2022 at 4:40 PM ^
What Momma doesn't know won't hurt her!
January 8th, 2022 at 4:21 PM ^
Feels good. Especially now that I know who 'RO' is.
January 8th, 2022 at 4:21 PM ^
Lester Flatt. Details are a bit foggy. There is a mountain of information to sift through but I'll have the breakdown later.
January 8th, 2022 at 4:48 PM ^
But will he bring along Little Maggie?
January 8th, 2022 at 4:58 PM ^
it's a reach, but a great one. foggy mountain breakdown. that's some pickin'.
January 8th, 2022 at 8:15 PM ^
Does he bring along ES as his associate HC?
Is he willing to leave the comforts of Bugtussle in his rearview mirror and move to the flatlands of Ann Arbor?
Will the Clampetts and Bodines be invited along?
And will Jethro's academic record be good enough to get past the admissions office?
January 8th, 2022 at 9:05 PM ^
Will they rename the Don Canham Cement Pond?
Will Guzintas 101 be added to the math curriculum?
January 8th, 2022 at 9:43 PM ^
How could I possibly have forgotten about Jethro's mastery of the guzintas?
Do you think he could apply that knowledge to a possible degree from the School of Kinesiology?
January 8th, 2022 at 10:20 PM ^
Maybe even tie ins to the school of music. How big would Billy Preston's Nothing from Nothing have been given it's original Jethro title Aught from Aught?
January 8th, 2022 at 4:22 PM ^
All of these codes seem pretty easy due to where each is connected. Over the years Ghost as had some that are real head scratchers though.
Anyone who wouldn’t want Warde to go after Fickell is crazy. I hate the idea of anyone internally. None of those guys are ready. Nobody on our staff is getting P5 offers right now. You don’t give Them Michigan just because you might be worried a few guys leave. Gotta think most would wait to see who is selected before making decisions. You have to look at Aranda, Fickell, and Campbell. If Warde doesn’t, he isn’t doing his job.
January 8th, 2022 at 4:27 PM ^
People said the same stuff about Reilly, Swinney, Day, and now Freeman at Notre Dame. I am not advocating promoting from within but there could be multiple worthy candidates on the staff but as fans we are not exposed to these coaches enough to know what they are capable of.
January 8th, 2022 at 4:47 PM ^
DP really stresses the importance of teamwork.
January 8th, 2022 at 5:37 PM ^
Do they still do the BBQ?
January 8th, 2022 at 9:18 PM ^
Day has turned OSU into a finesse team that wins 48-45 shootouts against teams with no QB.
Freeman is 0-1 as a head coach and blew a 21-point lead in that game.
I don't know that these are really home run hires.
January 8th, 2022 at 5:59 PM ^
Of course if KH leaves Warde will do his job and look at several candidates. But how well we did this year is also a reflection of all coaches on the team. In a year Gattis will be a head coach somewhere. warde would be foolish to not at least interview him and who knows maybe promote him and give him his shot
January 9th, 2022 at 12:01 PM ^
Aranda would be great - coaching, personality and stability. He supposedly turned down LSU and USC so hard to imagine UM pulling him to A2.
Fickell would have to be a finalist. Midwest guy, winning big, well-coached squads, ready for a bigger job.
January 8th, 2022 at 4:25 PM ^
Bless you, sir
January 8th, 2022 at 4:25 PM ^
I thought JH is on vacation? So why would he sign tomorrow?
January 8th, 2022 at 4:26 PM ^
Ghostof,
I Googled you about 2 hours ago just to see if you posted anything. Thanks for the update.
any idea why Harbaugh would leave now? Like what is “the right situation” for the NFL would you guess?
January 8th, 2022 at 4:40 PM ^
I would assume it involves a specific set of teams (or locations), him having roster control, current roster build and contract terms.
No reason to go work in suboptimal city, for a GM (Harbaugh is notorious for his issues with administration at SF) with a bad roster without much contractual incentive. He’s 58, coaching where he grew up and went to school. It’s going to be an enticing offer that gets him to jump in all likelihood.
January 8th, 2022 at 6:19 PM ^
I get all that. Was curious if Ghostof had any specific details from the source rather than us internet people shooting guesses.
January 8th, 2022 at 6:30 PM ^
Then the “would you guess” part of your statement is a little odd if you’re now asking if he has specific details from the source.
If you’re looking for specifics, you’re not going to get them. That’s something Harbaugh would be keeping close to the best and GoJ’s sources wouldn’t know. It would be unwise for Harbaugh to release the specifics of what he’s looking for.
January 8th, 2022 at 4:29 PM ^
This is the post I’ve been waiting for. Thanks pal.
January 8th, 2022 at 4:29 PM ^
I guess I'm really out of it. Who is "ToddA-that guy?"
January 8th, 2022 at 4:36 PM ^
I, too, wonder this
January 8th, 2022 at 5:02 PM ^
It's Harbaugh's buddy, Todd Anson. Still doesn't make sense though the point he's making.
Thank God he gave us the first name on him, or we'd be speculating for days who "TA" was!
January 8th, 2022 at 9:16 PM ^
Make no mistake, TA is nothing other than tits ass. Always has been, always will be.
January 8th, 2022 at 4:31 PM ^
Ric Ocasek?
January 8th, 2022 at 4:44 PM ^
You might think I’m crazy, but I believe that Harbaugh is staying at Michigan and I’m very happy about it!
January 8th, 2022 at 5:02 PM ^
Let the good times roll!
January 8th, 2022 at 4:34 PM ^
Seriously, the initials are ridiculous. I would guess about half the people here know ALL of the coaches names and could identify them by initials. Very few (guessing around 5%) here would know more than one of the support staff, if any at all, much less by initials.
January 8th, 2022 at 5:09 PM ^
It's strange. OP typed out the entire post but couldn't be bothered to spell out names which would've needed just a few more seconds per each abbreviation.
Was this the OP's attempt at being cryptic? If so, why?
January 8th, 2022 at 5:54 PM ^
He's always done it this way. I don't know why but if I was him I'd keep doing it just for fun.
If you are like me and can't figure them out have a little patience and someone else will. His info is good, so it's worth it.
It's also worth seeing who gets their panties in a bunch because of it.
January 8th, 2022 at 6:07 PM ^
I’m not upset by it. It’s an informational issue. If I can’t decipher what’s being said I’m going to criticize it such that it may be corrected.
January 9th, 2022 at 1:13 AM ^
Why would the general charge for free snacks?
January 8th, 2022 at 4:34 PM ^
Reminds me of the Good Morning Vietnam line,
"If the VC figure out the VP is at the PC, he could be KIA, and we'll all end up on KP."
January 8th, 2022 at 5:00 PM ^
so keep it on the QT.
January 8th, 2022 at 4:36 PM ^
RO = Ryan Osborn
LF = Luke Fickell
2025 TE offered yesterday = Gus Ritchey(?)
