Michigan OT Mayfield will be back this year after all.  Collins and Thomas remain gone.  Its sounding more and more like it was his competition that drove McCaffrey to opt out and transfer.

[MrNubbz]

Hopefully they come back,Collins is prolly my favorite M player since Taco.Just 2 years ago their revieving corp had so much promise between Collins,DPJ and Tarik Black - deep and talented.Would have liked to see them in full form together,would have been tough to Defense that

Sharing with UM thread because I think it’s credible:

RAMZY: BEWARE THE WOLVERINES

Michigan is going to be a legitimate pain in the ass this season because it has finally been knocked far enough off of the arrogance perch that has kept its self-defeating culture weaponized for the better part of the millennium. No one is going out of their way to overrate them in 2020. COVID has humbled everyone to a degree, which only benefits the B1G program in most need of humbling, And there’s no anointed savior on the roster; just a bunch of guys accustomed to winning the least when it matters the most.

They remind me of Brian Griese’s 1997 Wolverines, minus - and it’s a sizable minus - Charles Woodson. They’ll give everyone their best shot and for the first time in forever, should lack that entitlement chip that’s predictably and consistently knocked them back to earth.

I'm getting all the reverse jinx vibes. 

Also interesting, Jim's contract is running short, which is unheard of. Found this interesting: https://sports.yahoo.com/in-contract-limbo-does-jim-harbaugh-need-to-justify-his-salary-235436731.html

My two cents- he’s going back to the nfl very soon. Meyer/Day will have kicked his ass out of the conference.

If Biden loses the election maybe he'll take over for JH if he bolts

I don't know that the NFL wants guys like him anymore. They seem to like people who play nice with their bosses.

Were I a GM, I'd steer clear.

[FearlessF]

GMs get desperate 

[MrNubbz]

An Owner would have to be an absolute idiot to sign him for 7 mil or more per.And JH would be an idiot not to sit back and enjoy whatever time he has left.IMHO

[FearlessF]

I'm not a fan of Jimmy H., but he'd be better than more than a couple current NFL coaches

and if things don't improve in AA, it won't be very enjoyable for him there

Jim wouldn’t go anywhere that he wasn’t on at least equal footing with the GM if not above imo.


Owners are desperate to win. Someone will hire him.

This.

An NFL owner will hire him. People acting like Jim sucks at Michigan. He’s putting out NFL players and winning 9-10ish games a season. He can’t beat Ohio State (who can honestly)- and he’s losing maybe 1 game a year he shouldn’t- it’s not exactly like he’s going 5-7 every year.

With his track record of turnarounds at San Diego, Stanford, 49ers, and even Michigan- some NFL owner is going to hire him.
