It will be interesting to see if the team quits now (even more than they have) with beatable opponents upcoming.

Does Michigan's academics affect their recruiting?  Is that a thing for them?
Not really. It’s only happened a handful of times. Charles Rogers & Demar Dorsey, are the only ones I can remember having issues being admitted. 

The one problem they have sometimes is recruits want to be guaranteed admission to their business school- and they can’t do that. Notre Dame does this- and Michigan has lost more than a couple to ND bc of this.

I poked fun of Harbaugh here, but he has been a good coach, and could do what Pat Fitzgerald does with Northwestern, have a disastrous season like this one, and then come back the following season as Fitzgerald did this year, and in 2018.

Harbaugh needs to retire

he's gone
Been saying this for awhile. He’s been checked out mentally and emotionally for a couple years now. Dude is just a spaced out weirdo now.

Should have kept the McCaffery he had.
Yup. Which is what I said from day one. Milton is insanely talented, but he’s also super raw. He needs development and refinement, someone to teach him how to be a QB. That someone is NOT Jim Harbaugh. 

McCaffrey was a more developed, well rounded QB. Should’ve stuck with him. 

This offensive scheme and stupid play-calling would help no QB however. I think anyone would struggle playing for that idiot.

Maybe they will hire Will Muschamp.  Or Pruitt.

Lol. Probably not. 

They’ll probably wind up hiring a hot name or a “Michigan Man” and not the best guy for the job. They did this in 2007 and 2011 and 2014 when they went after RichRod (hot name), Hoke (MICHIGANMAN!), then Harbaugh (hot name & Michigan Man).

Yeah, I'd opinion that restricting the pool arbitrarily to "MMs" is a flawed approach, but whatever they want is fine with me.

Georgia did this with Ray Goff, a fine player and human being but not successful as a coach, and now Kirby Smart of course, for whom the jury is out.

I think the only reason to favor a graduate is that he might come a bit cheaper if he really wants to be there.

Harbaugh is a graduate, and he didn’t come any cheaper at all.

See, I thought McCaffrey was raw and more athlete than QB.  I guess it's all relative.

Am I in the minority that thinks Harbaugh is going nowhere.  UM won’t fire him.  He won’t leave on his own.  ??

Not sure about Harbaugh leaving Michigan. This is a very bad year for new hires to be looking for long term contracts. On the other hand private donors may step into the Michigan situation if they could land someone like Urban Meyer.

Hate to use HS stats- but McCaffrey in HS- albeit on a loaded private school in Colorado- completed 68% of his passes and threw 90 TD’s vs only 16 INT’s in his HS career.

Milton completed 47% of his passes in high school for 35 TD’s vs 19 INT’s. In his HS career. He’s nearly 6’6”, 240 pounds can run a sub 4.7 and throw a football 60+ mph and 100 yards in the air. He’s a physical specimen. But he was raw as shit.

McCaffrey didn’t have the upside or arm of Milton. But he also didn’t have the downside...
