Keep reading your Michigan insider report Temp. I am sure they have you covered…

Always have.

You keep quoting ESPN.

Nah, I don’t read that joke. Wouldn’t use it to wipe my a**. For the record, wouldn’t use the Michigan Insider to clean up my dogs 💩

Don't even know what that means, but ok.

You convince yourself that DeBoer and Willingham have already declined the job and are signing extensions then, mkay?

[Coach Nowlin]

What a tournament

Who knows, Michigan already had a Bo for a head coach, why not a Biff? Seems like that is gaining some traction …

While I think it's too many teams, I do like the top seeds playing a home game.

Interesting interview

Nah.  1A/1B mentioned above still the targets.

Candidate C now out.

Three guys on the outside looking in if a backup option needed.  Biff got a token interview.

Hiring firm found a bit of dirt on candidate C as Michigan is prioritizing high character with this hire.

It's about time, Michigan hasn't had a high character coach since Lloyd Carr .

You would think coaches would be clamoring to coach at Michigan, but I think it is showing to be quite the opposite. The coaches Michigan want have not emphatically said yes, which you would think would be the case. There is a ton of baggage right now at that school, it is a team that has not been in the top 3 for the last 2 years in the Big 10, and frankly, the future doesn’t seem to be great either

One factor is the widely heeled belief that the AD’s days are numbered. Would a coach take a job not knowing who his boss was going to be?

This is true. It is a total dumpster fire in Ann Arbor

Saw some memes about Biff....he's a pretty safe bet not to be pairing up with young staffers......

Lane Kiffen took a job at a school that was the process of trying to weasel their way out of what they owed their previous coach. So who knows.

Geezus.  So much misinformation to unpack here.  Should I waste my breath?

I'm sure this has been considered.

There is a reason why Kiffin and Kelly have not been mentioned.

(Also, the irony in Notre Dame fans piling on coaches with character issues is hilarious...)

I think someone on here mentioned "glass houses" the other day, but cannot be sure.

Do tell Temp, which of your aspired candidates have said yes? None that I see. Sure, maybe Drinkwitz from Missouri may say yes if offered, but why? Michigan is currently the laughingstock of the entire college football world. No ifs, ands, or biffs, er buts about it. It has been nothing but scandals since Harbaugh “graced” the sullied halls in Ann Arbor.

I'm a little more in Temp's corner on this one.  Regardless what has occurred, Michigan is a coveted job.  Was listening to some analysts this morning, and evidently alumni contributions for NIL has increased significantly since the release of Moore.  He made it sound alumni were not happy with Moore leading the program.  

UM has great history and tradition with funds at their disposal.  Certainly pressure to win, but I think they will attract a number of possible good coaches.  A little late to the party this season, but will force some quality coaches at current programs to say "no" and that may be tough to pass up.

NO, they are not. Do you ever have anything positive to say about any University?

1.  Maybe, just MAYBE the candidate(s) have the most important game of their season approaching?  Everyone is not Lane Kiffin.  

2.  Did you notice that "rumblings" of contract extensions at Bama and ASU were leaked last week yet have not been signed?

3.  Did you see the about face on candidate 1B yesterday when asked about the job for the second time?

4.  A dumpster fire?  A top 10 recruiting class incoming (only two have left thus far) and 15+ starters returning next year?  Hardly.

Michigan is using a well-known search firm to vet potential candidates.  They used the same firm to hire current basketball coach Dusty May who looks like a home run thus far.

Rushing this process may very well be what got them in to the current situation in which they find themselves.  Harbaugh announced his departure for the NFL two weeks after the national championship game and Moore was named the heir apparent without any real formal interview process.  He was the candidate most likely to keep the glue (particulary Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant) of returnees from that squad together as the players loved him.

Once again, I often get accused of derailing threads but this broad thread of "2025 College Football Season" has now become "Michigan obsessed" just over 48 hours before the playoff.

Every one in line waiting for their turn to "Stick it to Temp", lol.

Had Michigan rushed this decision and named someone immediately, this board would also have referred to things as a "dumpter fire" and questioned the decision.  Its truly a lose/lose for some of you.

Michigan has time.  A lot of time?  No.  But time, nonetheless.  No one surprising has hit the portal and Biff is running the show and Texas actually has more opt outs for the Citrus Bowl thus far than do the Wolverines.  That tells me something.

Now, are they guaranteed to land one of Candidates A/B?  Certainly not, but the fact that candidate A isn't even beloved on his own campus (especially if he loses Friday night) and candidate B changed his tone drastically yesterday also tells me something.

What in the hell are you even talking about? Did you not ask me the other day if I think before I post? You're just trying to lure me in again, right? Seems to be your obsession. Here, I'll put it nicely so you don't get your feelings hurt again: 

I'd rather take a job a Michigan not knowing who the AD is going to be versus taking a job at LSU knowing exactly who the administration and the governor are. 

Happy? Or are you going to somehow spin it that I'm slinging dirt onto Michigan? Michigan has enough problems, no point in me piling onto the mountain of crap that's already there. Trust me, I don't care half as much about Michigan as you do Notre Dame.

The glass houses quote was attributed to you...nothing else.

You're obsessed. You attack me even when I pay Michigan a compliment. You're hovering really close to my ignore button.
