Apparently Harbaugh Still wants the job here. But Tepper doesn’t want him

Nobody cares, sure, but if for whatever reason the NFL decides to partner up with NCAA to punish Harbaugh, as they did with Jim Tressel, then we've got a real problem. Do you want to bet the reset on that uncertainty? Didn't we just essentially make the same mistake by drafting Bryce?

I mean what are they gonna do, suspend him for 3 or 4 games? Fine him? Take away a draft pick. Who cares, the long term benefit will be worth it.

Not surprising.

 

Tepper wants control. If he's not the voice then he won't hire you. Same reason he didn't hire Wilks. Players had his respect Tepper didn't like that.

 

We will most likely hire his yes man Ben Johnson.

So what you intel on Ben J being a yes man? Outside of just making it up?

This is BS. Pete Carroll was cheating like a mofo at USC and left for the NFL without any consequences. 
 

I doubt anything significant will happen to Harbaugh from the NCAA. Michigan would probably just sue the ncaa and they will fold like always. 

Pete Carroll was the reason the NFL allegedly decided to crack down on college coaches jumping ship to escape NCAA penalties. Remember, the Tressel thing happened after Carroll.

If this is true, we have no hope. This is more depressing than I had imagined because I thought Tepper would be backing up the brinks truck for him. 

Lol. The poo people believe. Harbaugh’s got a legit shot at a national title and people really believe a talking head who wants hits/views/clicks/whatever? Of course Harbaugh is really focused instead on the Panthers job and Tepper has already responded no.

The suspension could be a year or more. That's what it looks like. I live in the midwest, so I've been following this saga much more closely than, say, folks in Carolina. Harbaugh is in some really serious poo. There is no doubt about that.

I just dont see that happening, the nfl know Jim brings ratings, no one likes the ncaa, no one trusts them and no one cares. I doubt it will be anything grave.

I can only image how thier communications went with each other lol.

The only real positive about JH here is that he would have taught Tepper a few things along the way. He was never going to be 'the answer' the fans had hoped for but if it ended up like in SF where shortly after his departure they finally figured it out that would have been the big win. Tepper is years away from being ready to run a decent team.

Us fans don't like the NCAA. NFL doesn't care about our feelings. The NFL as an organization views its relations with the NCAA differently than you and I. Expect the NFL to honor whatever the punishment NCAA hands down. Now, if the NFL decides to water down the eventual penalty, then fine, but we had better get a precise measure before we decide to pull the trigger. 

The point is that we need a new coach now, but the NCAA investigation won't conclude before the next season starts. It's too dangerous of a gamble to be making by chasing after Harbaugh.

Doubt it. UM got the resources and alumni to take it to the NCAA and beat them in a court of law.

    • I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
    • With so much of the focus the past couple years being on offense, the defense has definitely taken a backseat to the talent available in the draft. I get it, they want to surround their number one draft pick QB with offensive playmakers but unfortunately that has come with a price that so far has not worked Let’s hope the offense and Bryce Young put it together this year or it’s going to be another rebuild next year with another new QB. 
    • I was intrigued by him but always said it comes down to the interview process and talking to his former coaches, etc. You gotta find out if he's coachable and has the mental makeup. I think we've found the answer. LOL
