That's as equally unserious as assuming that 2021 is going to require divine intervention to break above .500. Every year, this team has the talent level, resources and schedule to match or exceed at least 90% of their opponents. The failure to do so, consistently, isn't because they CAN'T.
They are an 8-9 win team right now, but if they get good QB play that would increase. Ohio State is the only team on their schedule that plainly out-talents them.
Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]? Brady Hoke: You know.....not....good.
Jeff - you were correct when you said earlier that Bellamy will be the WR coach. All the new names/positions are in the official announcement for Bellamy.
University of Michigan head football coach Jim Harbaugh announced today (Monday, Jan. 25) the hiring of Ron Bellamy as the program's wide receivers coach. Be...
From the article:
Harbaugh also announced that the program has reached agreement on contract extensions with Jay Harbaugh and Sherrone Moore. Jay Harbaugh will coach the tight ends and continue to coordinate the special teams units, while Moore will shift over and coach the offensive line and assume duties as co-offensive coordinator. Recently hired alum Mike Hart will mentor the running backs, and offensive coordinator Josh Gattis will work with the wide receivers alongside Bellamy. Head coach Jim Harbaugh will coach the team's quarterbacks. Those movements complete the Wolverines' offensive coaching staff heading into the 2021 season.
We're probably not going to see pressure on Manuel to "do something" about M's terrible football program as donors and season ticket holders stop doing what they do. Although M's fiscal year runs from June to June and therefore only accounts for 6 months of the COVID shit-storm, it's still eye opening. There's an $11M surplus in that budget. What's more interesting is that in June, the FREEP reported M was going to suffer serious budget short falls and this should be a wake-up call, of sorts, for college athletics nationally.
The FREEP article goes though the AD's budgets for 2020 and projections for 2021. 2021 does not look awful either especially if the 2021 season goes off without a COVID hitch.
While Warde may have wanted to get rid of Harbaugh - and I think he did but not with a firing - it wasn't budget short falls that were driving this. Loping a couple million off JH's annual salary though will help for 2021
Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.
Brian Jean-Mary, who spent the 2020 season as the Wolverines’ linebackers coach and was expected to return this year, is interviewing for the same job with the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday, according to NFL reporter Jason La Canfora.
La Canfora tweeted the news late Sunday, correctly pointing out that Jean-Mary has ties to Charlie Strong, the newly-hired assistant head coach in Jacksonville.
UFM must like M's coaches ..... or else he's still into sabotaging JH just for the fun of it. This could just as easily be leverage but if Jean-Mary thinks this is a good time to that, it's not.

That's Michigan for you. Comes right on the heels of failing to follow the most-basic guidelines for how to protect student athletes and getting his whole department shut down for 3 weeks.
The thing that is so unnerving about the whole 3 week shutdown is how it was communicated. The state says it was a "recommendation" that the program shut down. The university claims they were "ordered" to be shut down by the state health department. Meanwhile, there was no major outbreak in any of the major sports. Mens and womens basketball were untouched, as was the Hockey team. All of which are having excellent seasons.
And, of course, Manuel signed Harbaugh to that extension, which is an exercise in futility. He won't be the coach 12 months from now.
