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

The winged helmet can do wonders...

The winged helmet is the only thing keeping UofM a prime destination. Granted a programs history and reputation is a BIG thing

[nhwbrooklyn]

No I dont. That was never even a question.. The next question you should ask is if I think DickRod should be around next year.

I know your half kidding around but seriously Greg Jones would not be a better player now had he went to UofM.

[jaadam4]

History says otherwise..

[SeattleLionsFan]

Jonas Mouton disagrees!

Players like Greg Jones would be NFL bound wherever they went.

[nhwbrooklyn]

Greg Jones wasn't a 4 or 5 star blue chipper. Now granted I'll be he would do well anywhere but still I can't imagine he would do as well running around in a 3-3-5 defense and develop the same when the defensive coordinator changes every year.

[jaadam4]

I agree.. I was just saying he'd be rated HIGHER had he went to Ann Arbor.. And its true.

[nhwbrooklyn]

Oh.. that there is a UofM bias? Sure I'll give you that.

[jaadam4]

Pure facts..

[nhwbrooklyn]

yes... pure facts...

[nhwbrooklyn]

I'm going to crack open some liquid facts right now... I'd get you a cold one too but I can't cause of the whole interweb between us.

I don't have the ESPN "Insider" thing, but according to this headline ... "Schefter: Wolverines are the team to beat." ... looks like Harbaugh might be coming to Michigan
Schefter is usually right.

BUT I do need Michigan to beat MSU in their bowl game. Either I get 22 points AND Michigan wins .... OR Michigan loses and RR is likely gone. Either way something positive happens

shhhhhhh....

Although mum continues to be the word for Jim Harbaugh on his future plans, that hasn't stopped his name from being floated for an opening with the NFL's San Francisco 49ers and for expected openings with the Carolina Panthers and at Michigan.

The big question appears to be whether Harbaugh has his sights set on the NFL or whether he'd be content ruling the roost in Ann Arbor for the next 12 or 15 years. Based on his background (lived in Ann Arbor from third grade through 10th grade, worshipped Bo Schembechler), his control-freak nature (no general managers in college football) and what appears to be a love for molding impressionable young athletes, we're of the mind that Michigan is Harbaugh's dream job.

ESPN's Adam Schefter -- who overlapped with Harbaugh as an undergrad at Michigan -- has heard as much from his sources, saying, "Harbaugh's leaving Stanford, but everything I hear tells me it's not San Francisco. The University of Michigan is the place to beat right now. But stay tuned -- we're about to enter the postseason and the silly season."

We should also note that Jon Wilner of the San Jose Mercury News has been dropping hints about the Michigan job in his recent blog posts (here's one example), making us wonder if he too has an inkling that Harbaugh would pick the Wolverines over the NFL.

Here's the article the article I just posted links to:

Would be a great get for AD Brandon. If its true that UofM is his dream job you get a coach whos young, apparently very good, and dedicated to the school. RR's struggles will actually be a little bit of a blessing in disguise as Harbough will get more than enough leway and time to improve the program his own way. The weight of living up to Carr right away won't be there.
