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

you're probably right on that.  they still think they're invincible.    But just like Flight Of The Conchords, they are vincible.

michigan should make mcs happy by hiring eric bienemy.

I think that if there is more to the story (as the smoke appears to indicate) that there is a way to both fire back at Gattis while being PC. 

Even a one or two sentence statement that there is an ongoing investigation would suffice. Twitter will do the story-telling for you.

Bieniemy.   ♫ He's got two Is, and they're both the same size ♫

Getting tight with the parents is a crucial part of recruiting.

I think Weis will get the job. But I want O'Brien from Alabama. But this is gonna be Weis's job after the way the offense was last year. This is a plug an play with no other real adjustments needed. Makes too much sense.

When Harbaugh said sleep at the recruit's house overnight, that's not what he meant.   Josh is so literal sometimes.

well, whaddya gonna do with all the co-eds now off limits?

My buddy says the roll out will be Jaybaugh to LB while still retaining ST

Ron Bellamy to WRs (we knew that one)

Grant Newsome to onfield coach in some unspecified capacity

No mention of Hart or Clink status

I have a feeling that what happened was that the university spoke to a couple of people about replacing Harbaugh and they did not speak to Gattis, he confronted them, was told why and balked.  

[romad1]

Apparently Sam Webb (the oracle) revealed Matt Weiss and Sherrone Moore to co-OCs.  Grant Newsome's role is TEs which was Jaybaugh's job previously.   Jay can coach STs and outside LBs apparently.

they have had some of the best special teams under jayharbs, so lets keep him there.  good recruiter too.

My hypothesis is that Dad wants his son in the room for the defensive meetings to round out his skillset.

however he wants to do it is fine with me because he seems to have real talent.

Interesting choice. They're trying to plant more recruiting roots in the south.

Slightly off subject but Valenti was talking about the idea of Urban landing at Auburn.   How perfect of a fit would that be.   He could do whatever slimy, shady shit he wanted and they would happily support and encourage it.

They made me laugh the other day when someone (jokingly) brought up the notion of Urban taking the OC job at Michigan.

Can you even imagine the pandemonium both in Ann Arbor and Columbus? LOL.

Lol. I’ll just say Urban.   It means the same thing in less words.

Freep: Retired radio host Frank Beckmann in hospice care, family says

Sad to see former Michigan play-by-play man Frank Beckman is in hospice care and only has days to live it appears. Frank was a voice I grew up on for many years listening to Michigan football games on WJR. Thoughts to his family.

His “Sportswrap” on WJR in the early 80s was the very first sports talk show I was able to listen to. I believe it was an hour a night 5 nights per week. Very rare back then.

Frank was a pioneer and boundary pusher when it came to sports talk radio. Sportswrap a little bit before my time. I remember growing up on the original WDFN. But without the work Frank did getting full on sports talk shows on the radio, does a station like WDFN flip to all sports as early as they did in 1994?

Frank did a good job for a long time with Detroit teams, but he lost me when he started doing UM games. I never cared for the way he ingratiated himself into a tradition he had actually never been a part of, and then later he went off the deep end as conservative political commentator, so not to speak ill of the almost dead, but he was pretty tarnished to me by the end.

My prime WJR listening years were 1975-1985 and it was a great radio station back then. 95% non-syndicated local content. JP McCarthy for morning drive time and then a serious noontime Focus show, Warren Pearce and Jimmy Launce late mornings or afternoons, Paul Carey with about 10 minutes of sports at 11:15 including high school scores during the Tigers’ offseason, Jay Robert’s all night with Night Flight 76.

yup. 'JR was listenable pretty much 24 hrs a day if you happened to be somewhere with something else to be doing at the same time. The only connection left that I know of left to those days is that Mike Whorf's son Peter is now on air at WRCJ.
