Meritocracy.

Meritocracy.

Not everyone can preach this bullshit message while giving their unqualified son TE coach position and then RB coach position and ST's Co-Ordinator and handing a QB job to a transfer (Patterson) with zero competition and then handing the QB job once said transfer graduates to Jim's hand-picked successor (Milton) - who turns out actually sucks at playing QB. 

Jim can pack his shit and leave for all I care. But unfortunately he's staying.

DE Aidan Hutchinson returning for his Senior year. Thought that would happen.

Wow, that's huge.

Rivals’ Michigan site reporting a deal with Harbaugh has been signed and will be announced soon.

Cam McGrone enters the NFL Draft. LOL. WTF is he smoking? He had a very good RS Frosh year and flashed NFL potential, but it wasn't dominant or anything that was just flat out ridiculous like the freshman year that Luke Kecuehly had at Boston College. Not even close. McGrone actually played WORSE in 2020 as a RS Soph. than he did as a RS Frosh in 2019 and he missed a few games with injury- and they only played 6 games this season.

He must a) be deluded in his abilities or b) dislike his head coach. Or maybe both.


I will be shocked if he gets drafted higher than the 6th rd.

it's Jan 7th and still no announcement of an extension. Insider chatter (apart from Sam Webb- who has Harbuagh's you know what in his mouth) seems to suggest Harbaugh is actually the one holding all the leverage right now and is looking at NFL options. Apparently the Jets and Chargers. 

I don't know WTF the powers at be at Michigan are doing. They need to just fire him already and hire Matt Campbell.

What if Matt likes it where he is?

What about Herm Edwards as program CEO?

Apparently Michigan is one of the few schools that Campbell would jump on in a second. This is coming from Jordan Strack, a sports reporter on an Ohio CBS news station who knows Matt Campbell personally. Campbell is originally from Ohio. You offer Campbell the job, if he turns it down move on to the next. 

It's unacceptable to let Harbaugh hold you hostage on an extension while he waits for NFL teams. Forget extension, the guy should've been fired at the close of the season.

They have to keep him, now that he has transformed himself into a Wolverine-themed cartoon supervillain.

Sounds like he's back at half his previous rate

I get this - it was long past obvious when Cooper was finally sent packing.Couldn't beat a rival then on the rare occasion he did would lose unexpectantly to a less talented squad and almost always blow the bowls - maddening really. And John like Jim was at the time was gifted handsomely  to continually put the ship on the rocks.You're going to have the occasional blip but when it's the m.o. pink slips have to be dealt

What's Lloyd up to these days?

more or less being told to do a better job next season because he's on the hot seat
