Obsession: Who will be the next football coach at UM?

by **Turtleneck** 2014-12-02, 19:47

I am pretty clueless as to who they are going to hire. It seems like the obvious candidates might not be interested. I have compiled a poll of people that have been tied to the open UM job.

Obvious answer is obvious. Izzo.

Good call. He was already a candidate for one CFB job.

No Black candidates, racist FUCK.

Also no women. Add sexist to the list.

Tanfan will argue that he is black from the waist down.

I voted Schiano, I'm thinking him or Addazio and heartbreak in Ann Arbor.

For $25, Tanfan will argue he's black from the waist down. For $250, he'll argue he's a woman from the waist down.

Your move.

I voted Greg Schiano, purely for the entertainment value of watching him try to out-tough Dantonio.

May as well come into his press conference sporting a beanie and riding a trike.

That guy would get his ass handed to him the Big 10.

Probably... he tends to run his QBs out of the shotgun a lot.

Hopefully Duffy doesn't show up and chastise us for making light of a situation involving the death of a "child".

You must be right.

Let us now praise Todd Graham's headset, for it is a thing of wonder, the kind of minimalistic boy-band communications device that most football coaches would not have the sheer cojones to pull off, let alone a dude who already possesses a flatlined Q-Score in a profession crawling with snake-oil salesmen.

Sounds like another smooth search is underway:

Some at Michigan believe that Jim Harbaugh is a viable option and are pushing Jim Hackett to wait until the NFL season is over to formally approach Harbaugh. On that end, we understand that Harbaugh’s most recent response to Michigan was along the lines of, “I’m currently under contract and can’t discuss anything until the season is over.” We understand that other NFL coaches have been discussed among the Michigan administration as well. If Michigan were to wait until January to chase Harbaugh only to see him ultimately remain in the NFL (which our sources believe he will), this prolonged search could have significant impact on the Wolverines’ ability to secure a top class in early February.

In the college ranks, per sources, Michigan did reach out to Tennessee’s administration to request approval to speak with Butch Jones. I reiterate what we have told you all along, sources have told us and continue to tell us that Butch is very happy at Tennessee and will not entertain the Michigan job. Michigan has checked sources regarding Boston College head coach Steve Addazio and there are some we have spoken with who believe Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham, who we understand has been approached by Michigan in the past, could become a target of this search. Based on our checks, we are quite certain they have looked into several other coaches as well.

Some in the profession have asked us at FootballScoop if Gary Pinkel is or should be a candidate. Gary is a very good football coach, who is very happy with his lifestyle at Missouri. Gary has rebuffed Michigan in the past and I don’t see that changing now.

Gil Brandt offered today that he hears Michigan is high on Greg Schiano, an assumed, logical option all along. Greg wants to get back in and perhaps this will be his opportunity. A week or so ago we reached out to source close to Greg, who offered, with respect to the Michigan opening, “If they didn’t like Rich, it might not be a great fit with Greg. He has a lot of the same mannerisms Rich does.”

So um is going to wait until a couple of weeks before signing day before actively going after a coach? Wait for it....

BWAAHAHAHAHAHA

I think they're going to end up with Schiano or Addazio. Schiano would be OK but the natives will be Sooooooooooooooo disappointed after all the Jesus Harbaugh fever.

by **InTenSity** 2014-12-05, 15:07

Well, they have built in excuses already.

Our 2015 recruiting class only had 7 recruits in it!

I do. Liberal elitists that think the world's problems are solved via Birkenstocks and Subarus.

Bump.

Just make DeBord the coach already. He is so perfect for the job.

They just hired a firm to help with the search. Looks to me like they are banking hard on Jesus Harbaugh taking the job.

There must be something we don't know. Maybe there is a gentlemen's agreement between Harbaugh and UM, and the few people that know are doing a great job keeping it a secret. Otherwise, they might want to officially actually talk to somebody about their job opening.
