Who do you want to replace Harbaugh if he goes to the NFL?

[Hongbit]

I didn’t see that coming. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Not a good look for the program.

McDonald going to the NFL is one thing. Gattis taking a lateral move to an ACC program that hasn’t been good in ages means that Michigan either wasn’t going to pay what Miami is, or that Gattis didn’t believe the success at Michigan could be replicated. Or both.

Fudge

[MichiganCardinal]

Mike Hart seems to be the obvious replacement.

[romad1]

"Gattis had HR issues" is the rumor.   Mutha-f.  Dudes, keep it in your pants at the workplace or with the students or whatever.

tells me gattis didnt think he was getting the job if harbaugh left.  instead he spent the time putting out feelers about other jobs.

HaHa - Ross won't take Harbaugh away from UM, but maybe amputating his right arm is OK.......

I think this is Donna Shalaylah's Miami not Stephen Ross' Miami.

[buddha]

im concerned they'll lose recruits, not that concerned over losing gattis.  i think the offense this year was more harbaugh than "speed in space."  they went back to a lot more power running this year.

yeah - it seemed natural since jobs are open at the Fish as well. But as Cardinal says, it's almost worst this way. It seems to say that despite what Harbaugh says, his assistants don't see him as stable place to cast anchor.

and yet while that focus did finally give them some offensive identity, I question that it can consistently defeat the better teams in college football. You're basically going with the Barry Alvarez model and the limitations of that model have been clear for a long time.

JJ McCarthey is the QB they need to win a National Championship.  Now, getting him the other pieces including staff support will be the question.

that was the best offense michigan had since brady/thomas/terrell.  they rolled over ohio state and everyone else they played until they met a generational defense.  dont let that georgia game fool you, michigan's offense was very good this year.

They started out with some red zone issues but they eventually got to the point where they were playing 4 dimensional chess with their opponents.

The story on the MGOwhoknows board is that he was pulled off the recruiting trail for making the moves on recruit's moms.

if you come out with a quote like that about your bosses, you better be squeaky clean.  because michigan's pr machine isnt going to take something like that lying down.

Michigan's PR machine probably doesn't have a lot of room to speak when it comes to some of the events discovered in recent weeks.

Josh Gattis was so upset at how badly the local weather forecasters botched the storm prediction that he's had enough and he's going to a much warmer place.

so maybe they didnt want a guy who was out fucking kids moms to be head coach?

that sounds like something the moral police would be in favor of?  no?

They kept that secret under wraps for a while.  I never had wind of it.  I'm not especially plugged in.  The guy I talk to at work who is sorta plugged into the scene there (more on MBB side) will have a story to tell.  However, this guy was talking up Gattis on Friday before all this came down.

Maybe getting in a PR battle over inappropriate sexual misconduct isn't the best move for Michigan after - the Dr. Anderson fiasco (I believe Bo's step son 100%), after the Schlissel situation, other recent sex scandals involving professors, a brewing scandal with their hockey team........just saying that it's probably best to just let it go.  If Josh wants to shade Michigan, let him go, he'll wind up burying himself.     With all that has been going on at Michigan, maybe Josh thought the best way to be a power player was to be like the rest of 'em.    Michigan is a disaster on so many levels right now.   Best to just stay quiet.

Well, I enjoyed our one year reprieve from mediocrity.       

[Motor City Sonics]

Michigan loved it when there were only 3 local TV stations and 3 local papers and they could stop any bad story from getting out with the threat of taking access away.    Can't do that these days.    Makes you wonder just how long that place has been a toxic cesspool.    Well, at least since the Mid-70s.    These institutions simply have too much power and think they can't be touched, and until very recently was true.

ROTL. Well, that is either a terrible slander that needs to be punished or ...very funny.
