Entirely fair, but after I got chased out of the sh*t-talking about Michigan thread, this and speculating about Mike Hart's offensive acumen is all I had left... :)
The good news is, OSU looks to be tinkering at safety like a lot of you folks on this forum wanted them to...
Dantonio is currently retired, precisely because college football told him this strategy wouldn't work anymore and proved it to him on the field.
But again, we're not losing recruiting battles on purpose. If we COULD take only 4 and 5 stars, we would. You do the best you can, with what you're...
This might be the single biggest reason I can't bring myself to care if Harbaugh leaves.
We are DEAD in the water in THIS Big 10, with Sparty and PSU taking football recruiting seriously, if these are the kind of classes we're bringing in. I am tired of the Harbaugh dance, but I'm also tired of...
He's a 3.6, and that might even be composite. The German guy was a 3.5. They are the same guy.
I'm not sure you've looked at how trash our class this year actually was, but I assure you offering this kid in July didn't change a single thing about how we recruited the rest of the class or what...
Oh for sure; and quite frankly I wouldn't care normally. But talking as much sh*t was we talked and then unveiling a game plan for TCU that can only be explained by a total lack of respect, or peeing down your leg in fear, is pretty unacceptable to me. One of the problems with this program for a...
So like, I'm just a football nerd right? I don't want anything I'm saying here to be taken as insider knowledge or whatever so feel free to assume I'm a dumb fan with dumb fan opinions. My read is that it's all of the above, but the real problem is college football, who runs it, and where its...
I remember the play, but I haven't gone back to watch it on replay so what I'm about to say might not apply here. Factually however, modern zone defenses use a lot of pattern matching systems to avoid ever "covering grass" as it were. I'm still learning more about this myself, so I don't want to...
I dunno, last year felt different. Jim had all kinds of "demands" and "conditions" on what would make him leave. This doesn't feel like that, this feels like a guy saying "I want a head coaching job in the NFL because I'm ready to move on from college football." I could be entirely wrong, but I...
lol, he's so gone.
"This is not an interview" is so "these are not the droids you're looking for" it's not even funny.

Pretty clear that he's not being picky; any job...
From scanning the forums, it looks like a lot of folks are just sick of doing this every year. Part of that is that fans think it's hurting recruiting, which it probably is, but I'm not at all certain that the impact is as big as many fans think it is.
As far as replacements go; everyone is...
Y'all seem pretty excited about a guy I had to look up to discover was the #6 DE on the depth chart, a converted defensive tackle, and a guy we recruiting because Don Brown wanted him...
I hope he catches on someplace warm; five years in Michigan gotta be pretty chilly for a European.
As I was saying tho:
It still sounds like nobody has signed anything, and maybe nobody has offered him a contract yet. But folks who've been paying attention will notice that Michigan insiders quickly shot down ALL the previous rumors until last year (when we know for a fact he almost left,)...
I think you've basically got two choices in modern college football, either you:
A) play a zone-based, bend but don't break type of defense designed to keep the top on at all times and make 4 point plays in the red zone
or
B) you play a maximum havoc type of scheme that knows it's going to...
Plus, Feldman is legit close to Harbaugh, so it's pretty hard to picture a scenario where he puts his name on this without Jim being aware it's going to happen. Throw in that noted program insiders in the media who ABSOLUTELY would shoot this down if it were fugazi, guys like Sam Webb and Scott...
I'm no psychic, and I've gotten out of the "predicting mutants like Jim Harbaugh" business; but Irsay is basically the same guy. His personality woulda been a problem in Minny for sure; but in Indy, the guy up top is already a rageaholic control freak. I don't see him going to Denver, but Indy...
I'm ambivalent.
Objectively it will be an absolute disaster if Harbaugh leaves. The coach hiring cycle is more or less already over, and after breaking up with Gattis last year, our incestuous coaching tree is pretty much down to "Mike Hart." I can assure you that I have no more confidence in...
