Ono saves the day, can he relieve Warde of his duties, and hire a new AD
Santa Ono
I just got off the phone with Coach Harbaugh and Jim shared with me the great news that he is going to remain as the Head Coach of the Michigan Wolverines. That is fantastic news that I have communicated to our Athletic Director Warde Manuel. #GoBlue!
John U. Bacon
Yes, Harbaugh called the U-M pres., not the AD. I'm sure the deal could not have been done w/o the AD, but probably true it wouldn't have been done w/o the president, either. And no, not a great look for the AD-coach relationship. Speaks for itself.

Harbaugh confirmed the news moments later when he released a statement through the Michigan football Twitter account with the caption "Happy Mission."
"I love the relationships that I have at Michigan — coaches, staff, families, administration, President Santa Ono and especially the players and their families," his statement said. "My heart is at the University of Michigan. I once heard a wise man say, 'Don't try to out-happy, happy.' Go Blue!"

I'll say within 2 weeks.2012 Detroit Lions Draft: 1) Cordy Glenn G , 2) Brandon Taylor S, 3) Sean Spence olb, 4) Joe Adams WR/KR, 5) Matt McCants OT, 7a) B.J. Coleman QB 7b) Kewshan Martin WR

I think Edwards surgery is mostly a follow up to what he's already had. He needs to have screws removed from his wrist, which were apparently inserted to aid in healing. These medical types in here can probably shed more light on that.
But in reading the article about Edwards, I'm led to believe that he will absolutely be gone after the 2023 season. He wants to play in the NFL badly. He also says he wants 'even' carries with Corum.
hmmm"The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, .. I'd worn them for weeks, and they needed the air"

Well all that's ok by me. I'm sure he does, and if he works hard enough, he can get most or maybe even all the way to that goal. Corum needs to be healthy for the final stretch.
IMO Warde needs to be out ASAP. Or implement a process to remove him from having any sort of involvement/oversight/influence when it's basketball portal season. The signals from on high are now very clear. The President likes sports. Times have changed and it's now an era in which a player like Terrence Shannon ought to be welcome at Michigan. We know that Warde is exceptionally bad at reading the signs and acting accordingly. Let's not handicap the basketball program yet another year.
One thing for sure -- I'd rather he not replace Kevin Warren.

Now that the Harbaugh drama is over, and I never for a moment thought that he was going to (a) get an NFL HC offer (b) end up as a HC anywhere else but at M, there's a great review at mgo of who's gone and who's coming back. There's other useful extra stuff at the link above on which players that we've never heard of will be starting or making the 3-deep. Aside from the recurring dearth of DBs - that somehow ends up getting covered - M's football roster is stocked with some very good players. Big Champs? Probably, NC level? You be the judge. So far, M's not done well in chasing that one.
Michigan's NFL draft decisions all seem to be in. Cornelius Johnson, Michael Barrett, and Kris Jenkins confirmed they're returning. So did Jim Harbaugh. Seems like a good day to check in on the state of the football roster. What is this? Folks who cover the USMNT drop lists like this projecting the 23 guys who end up on the next World Cup team. Brian appropriated it, dropped it for a few years, and then I stole it from him. Regarding the number of tickets: typically its’ 22 starters on offense and defense + 2 kickers + a Flex TE/Slot + nickel + extra DL. This year we have a K/P so I used the extra spot on a 6th OL. Previously: Spring 2022, Post-Bowl 2022. DEPARTURES IN ORDER OF SIGNIFICANCE 1. C Olu Oluwatimi (out of eligibility). Won Outland and Rimington Awards, centered Joe Moore-winning OL. 2. DE Mike Morris (NFL). Only DL who could get solid pass-rush. Great run defender. Badly hampered/missed after rolled ankle late vs Nebraska. 3. NT Mazi Smith (NFL). Stalwart nose, freakish athlete, ate doubles so his teammates could eat, had some contain issues. 4. WR Ronnie Bell (NFL). Leading WR, team leader, only so far down the list because M had lots behind him. 5. K Jake Moody (out of eligibility). One half of Pax Specialistica (2018-2022). Won Groza and came back for Year 5. 69/84 FGs, 148/148 on XPs. Kicked a 59-yarder in Fiesta that also broke the school record for career scoring. 6. P Brad Robbins (out of eligibility). Other half. Old-timey strongman mustache, perfect holder. Ludicrous hangtime until injury nerfed him. 7. CB DJ Turner (NFL) and 8. CB Gemon Green (NFL). Very good CBs. WRs they covered were rarely open, but caught more contesteds than they should have. 9. LT Ryan Hayes (NFL). Solid pass pro except against elites, great downfield agility, awesome down-blocker. 10. TE Luke Schoonmaker (NFL) and 11. TE Erick All (Iowa). Excellent blocky-catchies, would have been nice to keep one. 12. DE Eyabi Okie (Portal to ?) Vagabond former 5-star who leaves as he lived: lots of potential, doesn't know when it's time to stay in one place. 13. DE Taylor Upshaw (Colorado). Polar opposite of Okie: low-ranked build-a-DE/DT with a low ceiling. Responsible on edge, passing downs DT, no bend. 14. QB Cade McNamara (Iowa). B10-winning game manager who hated being called that. Fall practice hype said he'd taken next step, was tied with JJ. Tryout for his old job failed spectacularly, ankle injury shut him down. 15. WR Andrel Anthony (Oklahoma). Just 7 catches for 80 yards in 2022. We'll always have the 2021 MSU game. 16. TE Joel Honigford (out of eligibility). Blocking-only TE who specialized in scrum-pushing. 17-21. DT George Rooks (Boston College), TE Louis Hansen (UConn), DE Julius Welschof (?), LB Deuce Spurlock (Florida), QB Alan Bowman (OKSt). Playing time transfers. PACK YOUR BAGS You will see them on the field a lot, whether or not they’re technically getting the start. 1. RB Blake Corum (Jr/Sr) [Last time: 2] As foretold by Fred Jackson, the one true Mike Hart But Fast has come, is coached by Mike Hart. Heisman candidate until an injury against Illinois basically ended his season. Gave up some top-end speed to become a complete back, still very fast. Sees everything, sets up everything, breaks everything. 2. QB JJ McCarthy (Jr/Jr) [Last time: 12-tie] Zen-master 5-star emphatically defeated legacy starter Cade McNamara and had a sophomore year that bordered on stardom and frustrated only because his legs were not a big enough part of the offense. Now advances to the Henson 2000/Henne 2006 phase of 5-star quarterbackdom. 3. RB Donovan Edwards (Jr/Jr) [Last time: 9] Assumed 1B role, then became primary for OSU/B10 CG/Playoff despite having a broken hand for that portion of the season. Cut 75- and 85-yard swathes through the souls of OSU. Fixed vision/decision issues that previously annoyed in comparison to Corum. Receiving hampered by hand issue last year but is good enough to be a full-time WR, create McCaffreyian mismatches. 4. RG Zak Zinter (Jr/Sr) [Last time: 6] Mauler has been starting since he was a true freshman, arguably 2nd best player on last two Joe Moore Award-winning OLs. Great puller, great zone blocker, extremely good in pass pro, freakishly athletic for size (once reach-blocked a Georgia DT), good candidate to succeed Oluwatimi as Outland winner. 5. Nickel/CB Mike Sainristil (Sr/5th) [Last time: 19] Pictured: Play of the decade. Team captain who gave the in-game speech of the decade. Also a better nickel (to our grading) than Dax Hill was, though the role's a bit different. Could also play CB. Used to play slot receiver, then played like an All-American. More to go? Hard to say since he's limited by size. [After THE JUMP: Good players making jumps, very few unsettled spots.]
On Warde Manuel. It's possible he will survive the weekend massacre where President Santa Ono broke down the door to Warde's office, took the chair behind his desk and said, I'm in charge here .... for the moment. He then stuffed Manuel into the trash basket, probably gave Harbuagh and his people just about everything they wanted, concluded that with a handshake deal and then walked out headed back to ....
House.jpg
The signs have been so clear that AD Warde Manuel was about to follow in the footsteps of other renowned M administrators - both inside and outside the Athletic Department - that have managed to fuck up something important having to do with M sports.....or a lot of other things that have nothing to do with that. Santa Ono has reduced him to a eunuch. I don't see how he can function as AD with what went down over the last several days. I'm overjoyed by this turn of events and it serves as one of the few times I've celebrated something like this instead of suffering the usual dong punch frequently delivered to the undying supporters of the University of Michigan.
Fuckin-AMission 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.
