hamburgers and computers. what an off-season. can't make this ish up.

Jeems been a flagrant yapping jackel at every stop stands to reason there is push back. If he had any brains he'd realize he was overpaid on the 1st years of that contract .He was getting Saban money and more than Urban early on. So the poor head wound had to settle for 4 million per,puhleeze. I agree with your statements of just a month ago about be better if he left. He's done a good job working the portal,damn near outstanding but is that sustainable. How will recruiting be moving forward? if that can be ratcheted up then perhaps a good move.There should be a stiff penalty in this contract if he starts his flirtations again as that is a turn off to recruits

they've got to announce a new deal with a substantial buyout and Jeem can't do this again next off-season or he has to leave because it will KILL recruiting.

His little shenanigans killed '23 recruiting. I think the final rankings their class was 17th. This is coming off back to back B1G titles and CFB Playoffs. He should've had a top 10 class...at worst.

It's already starting to hurt '24 recruiting. '24 5* QB Jadyn Davis who all the insiders said would commit to Michigan in January has now pushed his decision back and is taking trips to UNC (home state school) and Clemson. Jeem didn't do this little dog and pony flirtation show...that kid is probably already committed and is spearheading the recruitment of other top players to join him and a top 5ish class in '24. That's all in limbo right now.

HB linked the article. Michigan QB coach/"pass game co-ordinator" - Matt Weiss has been placed on leave and is under investigation for computer crimes.

Jim Harbaugh and his AD Warde Manuel have not spoken directly since May of '22. 

This whole NFL flirtation ordeal was a power play to secure the bag and dump the AD imo. Pretty telling the new President of the university is the one who was the point main on negotiations for a new deal to get Jeem to stay. The new President probably wanted to hand pick his own AD at some point anyways- and well if the head football coach doesn't like the AD at a football blue blood powerhouse money making machine program like Michigan- the AD is probably going to have to go.

FYI, Michigan's new President Santa Ono hired AD Mike Bohn at Cincinnati, who turned around and hired Luke Fickell. After Ono left Cincinnati Bohn went to USC and spearheaded the effort to bring Lincoln Riley to USC. Santa Ono is a huge pro-athletics guy who is all in on football. Wouldn't be surprised if Santa Ono puts a bullet in Warde Manuel and then tries to lure Mike Bohn to Ann Arbor.

Michigan QB coach Matt Weiss fired. Jeem has an opportunity to nail this hire out of the park. Hope he takes his time and finds the right guy and not just another Harb family slappy like Weiss.

Michigan QB coach Matt Weiss fired.

It took Michigan two days to address their equivalent "computer crimes" that our Supreme Court has no idea how to handle.

apropos of nothing, I'm still bummed Michigan and LSU have never met on the field.

And I'm still pissed at USC for losing to UCLA in the last week of 2006 to knock us out of our first Rose Bowl appearance and matchup with Michigan.  We even had a bona fide Michigan Man HC.  It's never gonna set up like that again.

I wonder how many such duos exist among "major" programs.  UGA had never played Oklahoma until the 2017 Rose Bowl thing.

[Mdot21]

Michigan is pursuing CB Davison Igbinosun (6'2, 190) a transfer portal target from Ole Miss. Igbinosun was a freshman All-American this year per PFF and started in 10 games for Ole Miss as a true freshman and finished the season with 37 total tackles and five pass deflections. He's class of 2022, was ranked the #1 player in New Jersey, #17 corner in the nation, and #124 overall player in the nation in the '22 class per 247Composite.

Texas A&M, Tennessee, Rutgers (hometown school), and USC also in play. Former Michigan coach/recently fired Ole Miss DC Chris Partridge got Igbinosun to come to Ole Miss. Dude is an insane high level recruiter. Jeem needs to get Partridge's ass back in Ann Arbor.

I idly wonder how most Michigan fans are feeling about the Program today.

I idly wonder how most Michigan fans are feeling about the Program today.

probably feeling pretty good for '23, like they should be odds on favorites to run it back in the B1G and that they'll have the head coach for at least this upcoming year.

As far as '24 and beyond- not sure how to feel. Probably feeling like Jeem will just sh*t the bed in the playoff in '23....AGAIN...and that he'll be flirting with the NFL....AGAIN....heading into '24.

IF dude flirts with the NFL again next year- just fire his ass immediately. Guy has been killing all the momentum his program should have to spring board into the next level and he's been doing so basically single handidly.
