Well he's definitely worked well with the Portal. My guess recruiting and NIL

[ELA]

if Jeem leaves, who do they hire? Me personally, I'd like to see them hire a guy that won't be having NFL interviews/chatter/offers every fkn god damn year.

What's Urban Meyer doing? No one gonna hire him ever again in the NFL.

Wasn't an issue with the previous two hires.  RichRod was 9-2 at Jacksonville State this year, and Brady Hoke is 19-8 post-COVID at SDSU.

In all seriousness, I think Sherrone Moore absolutely deserves a look at being promoted.  Chris Creighton has built EMU into a decent MAC program, which I thought was impossible, and better than hiring a flash in the pan MAC guy.  It took him two years to get going, but over the past 6 non-COVID years, EMU has been 41-26, and only missed a bowl once.  Prior to those 41 wins in 6 years, EMU had won 42 in the previous 16 years combined

I think if you want Corum to return and you don't want to blow this thing up, Sherrone Moore would be a great choice. You could run it back in '23 with Moore & Corum returning and keeping the roster intact. Beyond that, not sure what Moore would be capable of and it's definitely a risk for '24 and beyond.

Even if Harbaugh stays, Michigan is going to eventually lose Moore to G5 or even lower level P5 program looking for a new head coach. Moore has been a hot name in head coaching circles and deservedly so.

Michigan DL Julius Welschof and LB Duece Spurlock in the portal. Both were program players buried on the depth chart that probably never were going to play. Spurlock played some position and is in the same class as the Hasumann kid they brought in from Nebraska, so that one makes sense. Welschof was never going to play, been there for awhile, probably wanted to go somewhere that he could get on the field. 

[Mdot21]

my coaching big board if/when Harbaugh leaves...in no order...

Acceptable:
Detroit Lions OC Ben Johnson
Kentucky HC Mark Stoops
Kansas State HC Chris Klieman
Baylor HC Dave Aranda
Georgia OC Todd Monken
Oregon HC Dan Lanning
Michigan OC Sherrone Moore

Maybe:
Iowa DC Phil Parker

HARD HELL NO's...
Iowa State HC Matt Campbell
Minnesota HC PJ Fleck
Alabama OC Bill O'Brien

[Cincydawg]

How about the Iowa OC?

[FearlessF]

no one on the Iowa staff has the head coaching experience to be trusted with a job like Michigan

except Capt Kirk - and he's far too old

[utee94]

Tom Herman and Charlie Strong are both available.

Steve Sarkisian too, maybe, if Harbaugh strings out the Wolverines for another year or two.

[Mdot21]

How about the Iowa OC?

oh god no.

[Mdot21]

except Capt Kirk - and he's far too old

that's why I said maybe on Phil Parker. Give me an excellent defensive coach and you can win with that as long as he hires a good OC.

[FearlessF]

if Parker had ANY ambition a Tall.. he wouldn't still be in Iowa City

Phil doesn't even think Parker would be a good head coach

[Mdot21]

hardly sounds definitive...but Jeem made a statement on the official social media accounts of Michigan football...

by the way....does Jeem = Bo? Can't win a bowl game to save his life. What's up with Jeem's teams ASS performances in bowl games? He's 1-6, and 0-fer-6 in his last 6 tries. If it was just a semi thing, sure that's one thing. But even in some favorable bowl matchups his teams have played like dirty bhole. It begs the question what in the actual f does he have this team do for that month they are off prepping for the bowl?

[Mdot21]

so apparently this is one of things that Jeem is fed up with in regards to CFB and why he may want to go to the NFL....apparently Michigan is going to get a little slap on the wrist by the NCAA. Supposedly from two years ago and has to do with COVID and contacting recruits or some crap like that. Idk. Between this NIL crap, the portal, 24/7 year round recruiting, dealing with insane fan bases calling to fire you if you lose one game- dealing with a bunch of idiot boosters who all want to feel special and important and have access or downright try to meddle in your program, PLUS all the morons at the NCAA....I would straight up rather coach in the NFL. It's a way harder league with way better players and schemes and more parity and the salary cap and draft make it tougher to win and sustain winning- but at the same time it's an easier job- if that makes sense. All you have to do is coach your football team. No NCAA. No NIL crap, no portal, no freaking recruiting. Just coach football.
