U of M thread (in the Lions Forum) :)

I do think the fact that it's all quiet on both fronts bodes well for UM. Harbaugh wants to go win his bowl game with very little attention on him, and then (hopefully) head off to AA. Brandon wants to save cash and avoid the embarassment of the former administration with the Les Miles fiasco.

[gjdodger]

I just think it's interesting how close to the vest everyone is. You've got a few sports announcers saying "they hear" it's Harbaugh, but nobody seems certain. I've been assuming whoever it is, Brandon already has everything lined up--but that would mean he's lying about waiting until after the bowl to evaluate RichRod.

He's not going to torpedo RR before the bowl game. It sounds like he is doing the right thing to me even though its technically a lie (if thats whats really going on).

[Cody_Russell]

Unless Herbstreit blows this again (like he did for Les Miles and U of M) ... I think its likely that Harbaugh will be the next HC in a week.

Herbstreit has tried once already saying Harbaugh would take a bus to Ann Arbor, let see what he pulls out of his Buckeye hat this weekend.

yeah, its been too quiet so far ... I bet on Saturday we will see Herbstreit in the Media talking about Harbaugh to Michigan is a done deal! lol

If Brandon can secure Harbaugh, it will tell me a couple things:

A) He's really in charge, and not at the whim of butthurt board members.

B) That the attitude within Ann Arbor has finally taken a turn for the better.

No, forget about it. There's no way, he burned his bridges, there's no forgiveness in Ann Arbor, he's dead to them, he betrayed the Blue, he's a traitor, a Benedict Arnold, they'll never accept him back in the fold . . . .

[gjdodger]

Well, maybe flunking Forcier out was like some sort of peace offering to Harbaugh.

I'm still dubious for the record.

But hey, wouldn't be the first time dated information and interpretation became outdated quickly.

We shall see.

Strong chance HARBAUGH gets picked up by the SF 49'ers

[chemiclord]

Just the fact that is sounds like the U-M is even willing to talk to Harbaugh tells me that things aren't the way they used to be in Ann Arbor.

[Newbomb Turk]

How good is Harbaugh ??

Stanford just ended U-Conn's 90 game winning streak

He's that good..........

[WingsFan]

Please, they had to update that shit during college football bowls? Who cares? Nobody but ESPN
