Who is on the list for a replacement, should JH bolt for the NFL?

[MrNubbz]

Charlie Weiss or jay Harbaugh

If I were Michigan, my first call would be Dave Aranda, with Joe Brady as OC

[847badgerfan]

Not sure I would like to Dave Aranda in Ann Arbor. That could be lethal.

Pretty sure he just inked a hefty extension

CB Vincent Gray declares for the NFL Draft. Not sure why, he's not getting drafted. 

That's now 7 starters on defense....

DE/OLB Aidan Hutchinson 
DE/OLB David Ojabo 
DT Chris Hinton 
LB Josh Ross 
DB Dax Hill
CB Vincent Gray
S Brad Hawkins

Dolphins owner and Michigan super-booster Stephen Ross fires Brian Flores, but says he won't go after Jim Harbaugh to replace Flores. Apparently Ross is trying to keep Harbaugh at Michigan.

Harbaugh has hired Mike Elston as the new defensive line coach to replace Shaun Nua.  Elston is a former LB for Michigan in the 90s and has been the DL coach at Notre Dame.  Great hire IMO.

yeah not sure how great of a hire this is. don't really know much about him. not exactly like ND has been pumping out elite DL's. 

All I care about is: can he really coach? Nua was more of a defensive tackles coach than DL coach. Michigan's DE's/Rush LB's were coached mainly by Mike MacDonald. That will probably remain the same as they dive deeper into that Ravens defense, so don't see that changing. 

Nua was a poor coach and really bad recruiter imo. Not sad at all to see him go. The defensive tackles were a big strength for years under Mattison and took a complete nosedive once Nua got here. If Elston can improve the DT position then it's a good hire. And if he can recruit at all then it's a great hire, because Nua sucked at recruiting.

Harbaugh has apparently talked to the Bears briefly about the Bears job.

Arkush is a Michigan fanboy, so it might have legs.

Doesn't say it's about a job.  Maybe just a chat.
