Michigan has tried the breaking the bank route already.

Honestly, Harbaugh was as good a bet as anyone, particularly if you were going to spend big money.

So if that didn't work, what now? 

Presumably you go through a normal coach hiring process where you look at the best folks coming up right now, rather than trying to poach someone with as much money as can be scrimped together. Because unless you think you can get Saban or Sweeney, there really isn't any point in breaking any more banks.

BUT, it's 2020, so does this season even count? Maybe Harbaugh gets a pass on that basis alone.

.Eric Bienemy.
Go all in at him throw a ton of money at him.

Oh, now that would be poetic. 

I endorse that move.

Nah. Once Ohio State murders Michigan by 35+ there is no way he’ll be able to save his job.

Not even gonna lie, I would do it. At this point, what do they have to lose? Offer him $15 million a year.

Yeah more I think of it, it’s a bad move. Bienemy is a complete unknown. Would only win the press conference and give you a 1-2 year recruiting surge. If he doesn’t perform and doesn’t have the goods- you’re back to where you are right now. 

Only two guys I would break the bank on- I’m talking offer them insane deal worth $15-20 million a season- Meyer and Saban- and both are extremely unlikely. 

But if I was Michigan AD I would be calling Steven Ross right now and asking him to chip in about $5 mil a year to front the bill.

I don't think there's enough whiskey in Texas for Urban to take the job

I would let JH finish the season.  Why not?  If miraculously they recover, you look great, and if they fade, the firing will be more clear cut and you save some money.

I would look at assistants somewhere.  

The counter to this is the odds they can find someone "better" than JH.  It would damage recruiting to start over I suspect.  It's not a full rebuild, they have some talent.

Maybe they'll go all-in on Brohm after Purdue goes 9-0 with a win over OSU in the CCG.

After all, he's already proven he can do something JH can't.

If Day really said they will hang 100 on Michigan--even in the locker room--Big Blue's chance of winning that game just increased on the inexact science of karma. Wouldn't that be a kick in the pants.

Lol. Ohio State is going to drop at least 70 on Michigan.

I'll say it is a complete mystery how Michigan has fielded such great corners and then been unable to recruit corners.
Didn't Hill go pro early, and Thomas opt out?
