I’m glad he’s back too. But his heart is clearly in the NFL. He doesn’t want to be there, he’s stuck. I’m not sure the program is going to improve from here with him at the helm. They lost all that momentum they had after winning the Big Ten. It feels like he and Ward Manuel both want a divorce but are staying together for lack of options. Gattis and Hart deserve some kind of award for their recruiting through this. I just think Michigan fans who have supported this guy through all the years where he didn’t win anything, deserve better.

Are you glad he’s back or did you want Gattis/Hart/someone else?

This is like when Michael Scott thought he had the job with corporate, and told everyone he was leaving and then had to come back to Scranton and pretend he was joking the whole time.

As Paul Finebaum said today, this guy could screw up a 1 car funeral.

He wanted the Vikings job. He didn’t get it.

Harbaugh didn’t withdraw, he wasn’t offered the job. They offered it to O’Connell. They interviewed all of these guys for 9 hours each in person. The optics don’t look good because he’s an inexperienced white guy, but if they think he’s the best candidate, it is what it is. The GM is a minority so there’s that.

Reality wise Michigan has one of the weakest schedules in college football next year. Their out of conference games are Colorado State, Hawaii, and UConn. they should fall into 10 wins again and his name will be in the mix once more for NFL jobs next year. Rivalry wins, conference championships, playoffs, bowl wins etc are important to cfb fans as a measure of success but the nfl will continue to lean on what he did when he was there.

Yea, I pay him. That is my view.

They need to hire someone. It’s February and the scouts don’t know wtf scheme they need players for.

He’s walking back into UM like George costanza. He thought he had an nfl job and told everyone he was leaving. He is crawling back to Michigan after telling recruits and parents that he wants out, and then telling his coaches to take a week off to work on their own future jobs. Its an all-time classic Harbaugh WTF. Good luck to him, except for the last Saturday in November.

I’m busy!

Good topic. I went with mariota only because I think Mitch follows Daboll. I think if rodgers goes to Denver we could throw a late pick at them for Drew Locke.

I have the KC game on DVR but haven’t been able to get myself to watch it yet. Maybe around June.

Yes it is! They are friends. But tbh, Josh is friends with everyone. I had to mute “Josh Allen” on Twitter for a week after that game because I couldn’t take it anymore. I missed a bunch of stuff about our JA but I had no choice.

A fine human, that JA. We are lucky.

It’s awesome

he literally made a show for himself for the last month while leaving his players in limbo and clearly wants to leave for the NFL, but didn't get the right offer. That's not confidence in the future, or ability to go further, at his current location. It’s never been more clownish up there after just having it’s best season in roughly a quarter century.

Harbaugh wasn’t offered the job. They chose O’Connell Nothing sinister. They chose O’Connell
