Swim in the deliciousness.I cannot believe you are posting this shit while I am trying to watch the Patriots play. What the fuck is wrong with you?
Because the Ravens are going to fire Harbaugh after this crapshow and hire Harbaugh? That would almost be worth it.Swim in the deliciousness.
Also, they are playing the Ravens, so it is topical.
That would be a very, very particular flavor of awesome.Because the Ravens are going to fire Harbaugh after this crapshow and hire Harbaugh? That would almost be worth it.
It must suck to have to think of the Charlie Weis era as "the good old days."I don't think he's going to stick around long enough to lose 8 Rose Bowls like his idol Bo did, but I think he stays for a few more years unless an ideal situation opens, such as a Pete Carroll retirement.
Besides money, which he has, it would only make sense to consider an NFL job with great management/ownership and a real quarterback. Unless he is very excited at the idea of building a machine and then handing Les Miles the keys to the 2017 Big Ten Championship Ferrari I don't see the fit or a compelling reason to go. The Colts the management is clown town and Drew Luck's skills are decomposing. The Rams? He'd have to totally buy into Jared Goff. Do you?. The 49'ers? You posted the 49'ers? I have seen you eviscerate posters for something 1/100th as crack-induced as that. The Eagles? only in your very very wet dreams.But seriously though, the 49ers, Rams, Colts and a bunch of other high upside teams are going to be hiring new coaches.....maybe even the Eagles of Philadelphia. I don't see him lasting another recruiting cycle. He is graduating like 97% of his program and tOSU has 143 future first rounders coming onboard this year.
Is Meyer coaching Ohio next season? He's so much a better coach than Harbaugh, you'd think the Rams or whatever other NFL team would prefer Urban.I don't really care about your thoughts, but I will pretend that I do.
Wait, why on earth would Jim Harbaugh go *back* to the 49ers?But seriously though, the 49ers,
Meyer may be a better college coach, but Harbaugh has already had a very successful (albeit short) stint in the NFL. I think this would make him more attractive to NFL teams than Meyer as a potential head coach.Is Meyer coaching Ohio next season? He's so much a better coach than Harbaugh, you'd think the Rams or whatever other NFL team would prefer Urban.
Michigan and Notre Dame have the same number of conference titles since Weis got to South Bend.It must suck to have to think of the Charlie Weis era as "the good old days."
Meyer's offense would decapitate QB's in the NFL.Is Meyer coaching Ohio next season? He's so much a better coach than Harbaugh, you'd think the Rams or whatever other NFL team would prefer Urban.
Because he has a team that is loaded and young. He is thinking that 3-5 national championships at tOSU is not out of the question, at which point people would never again wear Woody glasses, and would instead move to Urban Meyer golf-loving-single-aunt haircuts.Is Meyer coaching Ohio next season? He's so much a better coach than Harbaugh, you'd think the Rams or whatever other NFL team would prefer Urban.
He has a deep sense of irony.Wait, why on earth would Jim Harbaugh go *back* to the 49ers?
Hee hee.Michigan and Notre Dame have the same number of conference titles since Weis got to South Bend.
I think his most likely landing points, in order, are:Besides money, which he has, it would only make sense to consider an NFL job with great management/ownership and a real quarterback.

Yes, but more people have been killed by Notre Dame's coaches.Michigan and Notre Dame have the same number of conference titles since Weis got to South Bend.
Da Bears. Fire Fox, cut Cutler, give Harbaugh a chance to build it from the ground up. He was drafted by the Bears and played a few years there.I think his most likely landing points, in order, are:
Indy - the Irsays have been very good to him and would probably give him a Pete Caroll/Bill Belichick type role
NYJ
LA Rams - while Goff might possibly be a question mark (i don't think he is, he will be good), they have some horses on defense. That team could be a playoff team next season without a major roster overhaul.
Dallas or Philadelphia - I would rather the Eagles nab his brother, but I think that if it got out that he was in the market, and if the Cowboys get bounced in their first playoff game, JHarbs will see an offer sheet from an NFC East team.
New England. I could see Belichick retiring and handing the keys to Harbaugh. Long shot.
49ers. Why go back? For the sheer fuck you of it.
There's the answer. At Michigan, Harbaugh is God, or the Second Coming of Bo Schembechler, at least for the time being. Why would he want to give that up to take orders from another meddling owner? Money? He's got that at Michigan. A Super Bowl ring? Maybe, but he's still relatively young and there's plenty of time for that.I do not see Jerry Jones and Harbaugh getting along for more than 10 minutes.
And the Cowboys went 34-30 and had no playoff wins in 4 years. Parcells left a year before his contract ended amid turmoil with Jones over contracts and meddling.You guys know that Jerry Jones, the last time he thought he had a team that could make some waves, hired Bill Parcells right?
Since that time, Jerry's son has gotten a larger voice at the table and made some very sound decisions. Dallas is a really nice landing spot for a coach who considers himself able to stand the pressure of the job.And the Cowboys went 34-30 and had no playoff wins in 4 years. Parcells left a year before his contract ended amid turmoil with Jones over contracts and meddling.
And Saban kept saying he wasn't going to Bama.Harbaugh told his players that any NFL rumors were lies so I think we can close the thread.

"Not even considering it. A lot of this talk is coming from our enemies, from coaches, you know the names. You probably know the names of the top three I'm referring to. They like to say that to the media. They like to tell that to the recruits, to their families, try to manipulate them into going to some other school besides Michigan.
"We know them as jive turkeys. Say it like it is. That's the way it is."
He left MSU as soon as he could.And Saban kept saying he wasn't going to Bama.
You think that would actually stop him from taking the job?Oh, and how pissed is Kiffin that he took FAU mere weeks before he could have had the Michigan job?
His job at Michigan absolutely is done. This year was the most Michigany year yet and is the pinnacle of what Michigan can be: overrated from the jump by the media because there are a shitload of underemployed plebs as alums willing to watch 9 hours of Sportscenter if you show them a Desmond Howard highlight, ultimately taken to the woodshed by a flat, boring, State (this year Iowa), embarrassing themselves, The Big10, the Big10East and fans of football with a historically shitty performance against tOSU (which, Michigan should be thanking their lucky stars for every.single.day because for some unknown reason tOSU still credits Michigan as being a rival despite, well, Michiganness) and it will ultimately culminate in a bowl game loss that no one will watch. It will be one of those games where, literally, an editor of Wikipedia is the only person in the world who gives a fuck because s/he is a completist and needs to mark down history of every bowl outcome.Absolutely he's staying.... There is nothing on the NFL horizon that is better for him than the M job. The only way he moves is if he gets a deal like Belichek has in Foxboro or Pete has in Seattle, where he is getting like $12-15M per year and is the coach, GM and president of football ops., essentially the entire football part of the franchise rolls to him. Can't see all of that happening at any of the jobs potentially opening up this off season. Plus his job at Michigan isn't done. He needs to get them to the playoffs. That could happen in the next year or so. If he wins the national title, at that point I figure he's out of Ann Arbor. He did his job and made a boatload of $$ in the process.
He's not leaving. He said so. All these NFL rumors are coming from jive turkeys.

Yeah, that was tremendous. I wish I knew more Michigan fans so I could thump them over the head with it.This may be one of the top 10 favorite Derek posts of all time.
