So Harbaugh has to sell himself after taking a pay cut for performance.



I’m happy with this outcome. Glad to keep the devil I know.

OMG OMG OMG ITS HAPPENING

Welp, off to mgoblog...

Can’t wait to see which random who is in no way qualified to be a Defensive Coordinator at a P5 they end up with.

 

[Steve19]

Sign the contract, Jimmah! There are so many of us out here who love you. If they won't fund the next five years when this expires, count on Buckeye fans to pitch in and fund it for our rivals! You are the best coach of all time!

 

[Abenaki]

Also, Ohio State’s official social media account ‘Liked’ the news.

4 days out from playing for the Natty but we still have our eyes on that team up north. This is what it takes to rid evil. No let up.

Looks like this dude's only prior college coaching experience before landing in Baltimore was as a GA/defensive QC guy at Georgia.

 

[Oh8ch]

The absurdity of this is that despite his failure to meet any sort of minimal standard he will still be making 7 figures.

But at least it is less than Ryan Day.

So his brother who actually knows how to coach needs to throw him a bone.

So his brother who actually knows how to coach needs to throw him a bone.

Or has an assistant he needs to dump and is pushing him onto his loser brother.

Brian @ mgo's take on the extension and new dc rumors

I mean, I guess it matters at the margins. But the situation here is that Michigan went 2-4 with a humiliating loss to a year zero MSU program. OSU is one of the three perennial playoff participants. Harbaugh has been looking for an NFL exit that does not exist and is being roped into signing a contract that makes him easy to fire. The defensive coordinator who's able to come in and wave his magic wand to make next year's OSU game competitive does not exist, and even if he did he would not come to the least stable situation in the Power 5. And if next year's OSU game is not competitive Harbaugh is gone.

You can ask why the administration is looking these facts in the face and not pulling the trigger. I am certainly baffled. But the identity of the defensive coordinator is not worth getting bothered about. Eat at Arby's.

He seems so beaten down. I just hate to see it. Of course once they move on from harbaugh the next guy will immediately be the new savior who will set right all things *ichigan. Even hoke got the full savior treatment.

 

[Buckeye86]

Sounds like they’re rolling the dice on a total unknown (with a recommendation from his brother, presumably) hoping for the best.

Edit: it’s important to note this isn’t a thought out decision by them, it’s the only thing they can do because even before the contract fiasco, no one with mildly comparable options wanted to work with a weirdo like Harbaugh.

 

[Jaxbuck]

They'll have themselves convinced the new DC is the second coming of Buddy Ryan by Easter.

It's who they are and what the media that makes a living off them, does.

You know the battle cry from DFBIA is going to be "WE GOT A NFL COACH!"

Because that's definitely worked for them before

Ravens defensive coaches have failed elsewhere for pretty much their entire existence and the linebackers are pretty clearly the worst unit on the defense this year. As a Ravens fan this does nothing for me and given we also have no idea if he can recruit at all its just a shot and a prayer, not a good hire.

one DFBIA speaks some truth......other DFBIA comes with some ministry of propaganda correction

Past results are no guarantee of future performance. Not all OSU QBs will suck in the NFL and not all Ravens coaches will work out poorly in college. Evaluate the person without irrelevant bias.

So a guy who's been the linebackers coach for an NFL team that's gone 10-6, 14-2, and 11-5, won two division titles, and has been among the league leaders in fewest points allowed is a terrible coach. Got it.

The concerns that this hire doesn’t come with an under-performing 5-star recruit will be quickly swept under the rug.

 

[buckeyemania11]

It's pretty much official



A guy whos never recruited in his life and only claim to fame is that he was a position coach for some good defenses for 3 years (whos position indeed has been the worst on the team this year) HOME RUN!
