Not that I really care

[cajun]

BUT, who is going to coach Michigan?....Anyone have a clue?

Michigan been on the decline if you ask me and they better watch out....I don't care what their history is....

[stevefoxsc]

Michigan has always bounced back from declines in big ways if you've watched their program. Remember when woody hayes just went to Ohio and established him self a firm mark on that program with a humiliating defeat on Michigan a game where he ran for 2 when he was up 50+ and said because he did it because he couldn't go for 3. A year later here comes BO Michigan had been dead for years. They had a mediocre season, but then it boiled down to that Ohio state game where they were ranked number 1 supposedly "one of the greatest Ohio state teams ever" well seems old BO when in that game and whipped that :Censor: good. Michigan was revitalized and back to the dominance it once had and that the country knew of.

Is Michigan so desperate for a name, that they would kiss and make up with Harbaugh?

as far as the X's and O's and leadership/ Integrity part of it goes, I think Jim is the way to go. Then there was that little acid rain he poured upon the questionable study habits of the Wolverine football program that he laid upon them. it's onbvious in today's environment that character doesn't matter. What about constructive criticism?:eek:

Odds are it will be somebody from the NFL, hence the wait.

Actually, Leach is already heading to Atlanta. Too bad for Michigan :(

Too much baggage. Michigan can never be elite because of all their baggage so they have no chance at Leach.

Who would be some of the names you think?

Who would be some of the names you think?

Cam Cameron has been mentioned a lot. Bill Cowher was talked about for a while, but there is growing speculation now that he may go to Atlanta which would keep him near his home in North Carolina. I've also heard Mike Shannahan's name mentioned, but that would only happen if he were bored with the NFL because he is one of the more powerful coaches in the NFL with decent job security.

Lane Kiffin is another. He denied it, but there were published internet reports that he desperately wanted the Arkiesaws job and was pissed when he didn't get it. Mike Singletary has been mentioned since he is a bit of an icon up in the Great Lakes area, but his lack of HC experience hurts him. The other is Jon Gruden who is an Ohio native and has expressed some desire to get back to college one day.

MICHIGAN COACHING SEARCH

West Virginia's Rich Rodriguez meets with U-M today
December 14, 2007

FREE PRESS SPORTS WRITERS

Michigan has a new leading candidate to be its new football coach: West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez.

Rodriguez met with Michigan athletic director Bill Martin and school president Mary Sue Coleman in Toledo today to discuss the open position, two people at U-M confirmed to the Free Press. The Sporting News first reported the meeting this afternoon.

Rodriguez, who is set to make $1.8 million this season according to a USA Today study of coaches' contracts, signed a second amendment to his contract in August 2007. His contract now runs through the 2013 season.

The major obstacle to a potential deal could be his buyout clause, which stands at $4 million if he leaves Morgantown, W. Va., before Aug. 31, 2008. That was part of the amendment signed last year that boosted his pay from its previous total of around $1 million.

After Rodriguez flirted with Alabama almost exactly a year ago, with some reports even stating he had accepted the job, he decided to remain at his alma mater. At the time, that contract offer was reported to be six years, $12 million.

His career record is 60-26. The Mountaineers have won at least 10 games in each of the past three seasons and are headed to the Fiesta Bowl to face Oklahoma this year after just missing out on a trip to the Bowl Championship Series national title game when they lost the season finale to Pittsburgh.

Rodriguez has coached West Virginia since the 2001 season, after coaching as an offensive coordinator under Tommy Bowden first at Tulane in 1997-98 and then 1999-2000 at Clemson.

He played three seasons at West Virginia under legend Don Nehlen, a former Michigan assistant under Bo Schembechler.
