As the skunkbears turn

Ive always liked Jim Harbaugh and I’ve learned to separate my support for him from my disdain for Mi. Jim is a strong Catholic and outspoken ProLife. I’m kind of glad he is leaving MI. They are filled with a bunch of jerks in leadership there.

Will he have a line and runningback that he’s used to having or does he need to make some adjustments?  I don’t follow the NFL.

Very good running back and receivers. Top notch. The QB is a little questionable but pretty good. Not top tier.  Defense is good but needs some upgrades.

So the cynic in me has to add that it's pretty funny if he were to bolt right after he (a) finally beats OSU and (b) fires shots at Ryan Day with his triple comment.

I know.  I love it.  He finally achieved what he wanted, probably realized there was no chance to compete with the SEC big boys and he bolts.

The Brian Kelly way. Can’t or don’t want to attempt that final leap of competing yearly with the SEC. Leaving on THEIR accomplishments…

I believe his interview with them is tomorrow. It isn't official from my understanding.

My guess is it’s less an interview and more a negotiation.

Looks like Harbaugh is returning to MI for 2022 season.

Well crap.

Guess Harbaugh crapped his khakis in his Vikings interview.

Football Scoop now reporting "The Vikings are "zeroing in on" Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O'Connell as their new head coach, Tom Pelissero shares and adds that the deal cannot be finalized until after the Super Bowl."

9 hours?  That’s a lot of wasted time 

[NDhoosier 1,232]

so strange.... I wonder what happened.

[coltssb 1,044]

I think he wanted autonomy on a lot of issues and Minnesota wasn’t going to give him everything. They probably said they’ll consider some things just to get him there. Then again, maybe he was flexing his khakis to show Michigan that he could leave anytime to the NFL. Like I said. He’s a weird dude who beats to his own drum.

I think he just wanted to screw with all parties involved. I don't think he had any intention of taking the position. He just wanted to see how long he could keep them on the line.

[Tailgate Approved 248]

Per a Vikings reporter, Harbaugh thought the job was his and the Vikings thought he was a candidate. The misalignment led to a mutual agreement to go in other directions.

Just saw Gattis is leaving for Miami OC position. MI losing many coaches also. 

[TexasDomer 1,290]

Not coincidental that this comes after signing day…

If I were a Mich fan I would be pissed that the AD let it get that far.  The AD should have paid him what it takes to keep him from interviewing.

[nd1989 209]

Things are not good in MI. I don’t quite understand what’s going on.
1. There’s an article out today that states when Harbaugh was thought to leave, Gattis met with the AD Manuel and learned he wouldn’t be considered for HC. Hart was first choice. 
2. Hart thought he was getting the HC position. When Harbaugh came back, Hart is rumored to be entertaining RB coach NFL offers. He is probably gone soon. 
3.  Defensive HC and DL gone. 
4.  Looks like Bellamy S coach may move to WR. 

I’m not sure if this is Harbaugh or if the coaches are just sick of the admin. Either way it’s not stable there.
