Bruce Feldman says sources inside Michigan tell him Harbs would accept Raiders job if offered.

upgrade for michigan

[ELA]

Rhule did a great job rebuilding at two spots, like Harbaugh did, but he left both times before pushing them over the top.

I'm not convinced he'd be an upgrade.  Id take the guy who pushed that bolder over the top in Waco, in Aranda.  And if Joe Brady is willing to be a college OC, that is as close to a home run hire as you get.

Aranda isn't going anywhere,i'd take a shot at Rhule

You'd have to be an idiot not to leave Baylor for Michigan

Just signed an extension which prolly has him by the short hairs unless UM wants to toss more money towards early departure penalty .Which of course I'm guessing at

I ... kinda half disagree with this, at least in the short term. 

Baylor is now a place where you can win consistently. You have good talent nearby, strong financial backing, expectations that won't kill you. The biggest downside is you're going to soon be in true lower-tier conference, which is gonna matter, plus you'll have to replace the OC in the next year or two. 

But at Michigan, your success will be defined by a sisyphean task. One game defines the season, and the hopes of making a playoff. And that's a game against a team that on average should be notably better than you. You'll have PSU nipping at you, plus upstarts, and your fans and the money don't want to hear it. You gotta win at the highest level, and gotta pay lip service to doing it the "right" way. 

If I'm Aranda, I probably stay, wait for the next opportunity.

This.  See UConn basketball job, which has gotten "back" into the diminished Big East, which is at least better than the AAC, which is essentially what the Big XII will be

money isn't an issue at Baylor, certainly not an issue at Michigan

[MrNubbz]

After what they shelled out for JH they don't want to appear as spend thifts

[847badgerfan]

Aranda likes stability. I don't think he's going anywhere.
