It's probably natural to look for similarities between what happened at *ichigan and what happened at Penn State. And I'm not going to claim to be an expert on either case. However, it's interesting (but not at all surprising) to see the reaction from each team's fanbases, 10 years apart.

I know that the opinions expressed on stupid internet message boards shouldn't be used to judge an entire fanbase, but what we read on BWI 10 years ago was awesome. And I mean "awesome" like a train wreck. 10 years later, people are still arguing for Sandusky's innocence. If Sandusky is innocent, after all, then Paterno couldn't have covered anything up, right? *ichigan fans, on the other hand, are already calling for Bo's statue to be removed, and if Jimmy supports Bo, he should be fired.

I hate to give *ichigan fans credit, but they look like not assholes when I compare them to Penn State fans.

Or it could be that the NFL interest just isn't there again. I've heard his name come up in two spots - Chicago and Vegas. Chicago seems to be trending towards Flores from what I see and Vegas hasn't even moved on from their current interim. Maybe NFL teams see that he's not exactly a sure thing? One lucky season doesn't make up for all of the stuff that had him on the verge of unemployment with no NFL safety net last year.

Report: Matt Rhule Would Be Interested in Michigan Job if Harbaugh Leaves
https://www.si.com/nfl/2022/01/23/m...interested-in-michigan-job-if-harbaugh-leaves
Matt Rhule reportedly “would be interested” in the Michigan head coaching job if Jim Harbaugh left, according the CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora.

The current Panthers coach has found himself in the hot seat with owner David Tepper for 2022, despite the franchise reportedly planning to keep him for the 2022 season. Carolina finished 5-12 this season and went 5-11 in 2020-21.

Rhule fired former coordinator Joe Brady in December after less than two years with the franchise. Brady joined the team in 2020 after winning the Broyles Award, given to the best assistant coach in college football, in 2019 when he was with LSU.

One of the biggest question marks of the season was regarding the quarterback position, which became a revolving door featuring the likes of Sam Darnold, P.J. Walker and Cam Newton. The franchise is reportedly expected to hire former Giants head coach Ben McAdoo as the next OC.

Rhule reportedly kept an eye on Penn State, which is where Ben Franklin landed a major extension, per La Canfora.

Tepper hired Rhule on a seven-year, $62 million contract in addition to providing $6 million to buy out Rhule from Baylor. He replaced former Panthers and current Washington Football Team coach Ron River

In recent weeks, rumors have swirled that the current Wolverines head coach was interested in heading to the NFL, and one team—the Raiders—reportedly may have interest in their former quarterbacks coach. Harbaugh has been working on a reworked contract with the Wolverines after leading the program to the College Football Playoff.


NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said on The Pat McAfee Show earlier this week on Harbaugh, “I believe he'd be interested. Now, he's also in negotiations with Michigan, so is his interest in the NFL kinda being like, ‘Hey, Michigan...’ I can't remember a situation where there's been so much stuff coming from the Harbaugh side/Michigan side talking about NFL interest. It makes me wonder if it's on purpose...

“I know the Raiders have some interest, but they haven't engaged at all.”
