The Michigan coaching lottery

[Coqui]

 

Apparently its already been refuted. But who knows.

then where was he today? he never misses the Monday morning presser. he was either looking for a new coach or filling out his unemployment paperwork.

 

Doesn't matter. If Stephen Ross doesn't want him gone, then he's not gone.

Michigan football: Top Ten Replacements for Brady Hoke If He Gets Fired

By Ace Williams | Oct 01, 2014 http://www.chatsports.com/michigan-wolverines

 

10. Greg Schiano, former HC – Tampa Bay Bucs and Rutgers

9. Kliff Kingsbury, Texas Tech Head Coach

8. Mike Gundy, Oklahoma State Head Coach

3. Les Miles, LSU Head Coach

 

Price tag: $7M

 

If Dave Brandon is still the AD after this season, Miles becomes less likely to ever get a shot at the Michigan job. Brandon has a widely known ‘beef’ with Miles, and there are rumors that Miles and Brandon still have issues that resulted from Miles’ behavior as a Michigan coach in the early 1990′s (Google ‘Les Miles Gary Moeller” sometime).

 

If Miles were offered the job, he would 100% take it. In this interview with MLive.com this summer, Miles made it very clear that he’d take the Michigan job if an offer came his way.

 

2. John Harbaugh, head coach, Ravens

 

Price tag: $8M

 

Nothing would make the transition in Ann Arbor smoother than if Harbaugh took the job. Make no mistake, John loves Michigan as much – or more than – his brother. Given his age (52) and massive prior success, he would be a home run hire, rivaling Urban Meyer to Ohio State as the best college football coaching move in recent memory. You don’t often find a NFL head coach less than two years removed from a Super Bowl championship taking a college job, but this may be a rare case.

 

1. Jim Harbaugh, 49ers Head Coach

 

Price tag: $8.5M

 

This s college football’s version of LeBron James’ “I’m Coming Home” announcement. If Jim were to take the job, Ann Arbor instantly turns into the epicenter of college football and 8 years of mediocrity are forgotten. Jim has his detractors in Ann Arbor, but he also has influential supporters. I’ve been told that Michigan will make an offer to Jim that is the most lucrative is football coaching history. The numbers being discussed are 6 years, $50M (avg of $8.33M) with massive bonuses for Big Ten Championships and College Football Playoff appearances/wins, making $10M/year a possibility.

I'm guessing the odds of either Harbaughs coming to Ann Arbor are slim or none. And Les Miles is a long shot at best.

[StPaulHusker]

I wouldn't say Miles is a long shot. If LSU has a down year, maybe he will think its time for a change.

it would be crazy if the B1G started poaching the top sec coaches. urb, franklin, miles...

 

that'd be a good start.

hes nearing retirement age.

60 years old as a coach isn't that old

Glazer: No way Harbaugh returns, even if 49ers win Super Bowl

I didn't think Harbaugh to Meechicken was likely. But I guess he has to go someplace. Oakland is a possibility. But with the kind of money being mentioned in Ann Arbor, I guess they are a possibility too.

Michigan snags Miles and NU can snag either Freeze or Mullen

[Danimal]

While folks always say he's a NFL guy and I'm sure he doesn't miss recruiting I'd say his abrasive personal style fits dealing with college players more than NFL.

 

A year ago he'd be considered a pipe-dream but now it seems possible.

Mullen >>>>>>>>>>>> Freeze

[Hedley Lamarr]

 

 

Michigan snags Miles and NU can snag either Freeze or Mullen

Mullen >>>>>>>>>>>> Freeze

I agree but would take either

[PaulCrewe]

Mullen >>>>>>>>>>>> Freeze

I agree but would take either

And why the hell would either leave??????

 

Freeze is from the area and Mullen had been an SEC guy forever

Vintage Hedley. Turns a Michigan Coaching thread in the BIG forum into a fire Bo thread. God I love this place. It's so predicatable, yet never ceases to amaze.

RT @nickbaumgardner: Twitter's something, folks ... Michigan's AD just followed Jim Harbaugh, Les Miles, Bob Stitt and Dana Holgorsen.

back to that deep, deep wvu well, huh?

 

but man, this is funny (?), i don't know what to think of an ad following potential replacements. does he want them, or us, to know? was this intentional, or does he now feel stupid?
