If you are a coach at an upper level school and your name doesn't come up when a high profile job opens you need to find a new agent. Given the dynamics of the industry it would be a mistake not to make that happen.

Nebraska's Pelini mentioned in search for new Michigan coac -- The Blade
By RYAN AUTULLO
BLADE SPORTS WRITER

ANN ARBOR --- A new name has surfaced in the Michigan head coaching search.

Someone with knowledge of the situation believes Nebraska coach Bo Pelini will likely entertain the thought of coaching the Wolverines should school athletic director Dave Brandon approach him. The person was unsure as of Thursday evening whether Brandon and Pelini had spoken.

The coaching search would likely be over had Stanford's Jim Harbaugh agreed to accept the job at Michigan. Harbaugh is reportedly being offered $7.5 million from Miami Dolphins owner and Michigan alumnus Stephen Ross. Michigan won't match that price tag.

Gotta just love this kind of responsible journalism! I'm sitting here laughing. "Someone... believes... Pelini will likely entertain... thoughts of coaching TSUN... should Brandon approach him." Now there's just a whole lot of substance there, huh? :hotnews: :roll2:

Yep, Pelini has already denied it unequivocally and told the AP Nebraska beat writer "in no uncertain terms that he has no interest in Michigan job."

I wasn't aware that a "high profile job" had opened up.

Every football team with a coaching vacancy - in college and the NFL - would have to be interested in hiring Tony Dungy, if he were interested in returning to coaching.

But he's not.

Dungy made clear on the Dan Patrick Show that he will not consider any coaching job, even though he acknowledged that after making about $400,000 in his first season as the Buccaneers' head coach, he's blown away that there are coaches getting offered close to 20 times that much.

"I'm done coaching, Dan," Dungy said, per our friends at CFT. "I don't even think I'd listen beyond the fact of saying 'wow' I?m turning down a lot of money."

Dungy grew up in Michigan and said there?s a certain allure to the Michigan job that would make it tough to turn down. But he says if Michigan were to approach him, he?d politely decline.

"If they call, I would have some recommendations for them for some other guys that I think would do a great job for them," Dungy said.

Asked if Michigan called him Dungy said, "They did not. And I'm kinda glad. I grew up about 20 miles from there and my dad is a big, big Michigan man. But, I'm glad they didn?t call me."

i'd them to call Dungy just to hear his reccomendations........this whole thing is pretty similar to what Kentucky went through after Tubby left. They were a shit storm with that alcoholic they brought in, canned him and got Calipari. Maybe UM will have the same luck.

Elway thinks UM is still in the mix

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos are no longer aggressively pursuing Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh for their vacant head coaching position.
John Elway, the Broncos' new football czar, said on his weekly radio show on 87.7 The Ticket in Denver on Friday that he believes Harbaugh wants to stay at Stanford, where star quarterback Andrew Luck will return next season rather than turn pro.


Elway said he believes Harbaugh's alma mater, Michigan -- which earlier this week fired Rich Rodriguez as coach -- might be back in the picture after Harbaugh listened to pitches from the San Francisco 49ers and Miami Dolphins this week.


Elway said he's seeking permission from the Houston Texans to interview offensive coordinator Rick Dennison, a longtime Broncos assistant, and is considering calling former Giants coach Jim Fassel.


On Thursday, Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey canceled his interview with the Broncos, which had been set for Friday night. ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reported that according to a team source, Mularkey wanted to focus on the Falcons' playoff run, but would be interested in Denver if the job remained open after the Falcons' season was over.


"I respect the decision that Mike Mularkey has made to not interview with the Broncos at this time," Elway said via his official Twitter account Thursday. "I wish Coach Mularkey and the Atlanta Falcons the best of luck in the playoffs."


With Mularkey scrubbing his interview, the Broncos' search committee that includes general manager Brian Xanders, team president Joe Ellis and owner Pat Bowlen, will remain in Denver preparing to interview New York Giants defensive coordinator Perry Fewell and interim Denver coach Eric Studesville, both on Sunday, in addition to possibly interviewing Dennison and Fassel.


Elway said Thursday he wanted to hire a coach who already had head coaching experience, preferably in the NFL, and both Fewell, 48, and Studesville, 43, have been interim head coaches, Fewell for seven games in Buffalo in 2009.


"I don't believe anybody that's not had that NFL experience can make that jump -- other than Harbaugh. There's nobody [else] in the college ranks that we're interested in talking to," Elway said. "And preferably we'd like to have some head coaching background in the NFL, but it's not a must. If there's a guy who's a coordinator that's up and coming and shows that he can be the head coach and understands that, then he'll be the guy."

Hasn't someone on BP once said that "there's a special place in Hell for tOSU captains who go on to be the head coach at tsun"?

I cannot, for the life of me, believe this could ever happen.

On the other hand, trying to coach that roster while answering to the former CEO of Domino's could certainly qualify as a "special place in hell".
