  1. Right, but they didn't offer him the job. Hence why it was a flirtation. If you go to a bar and chat it up with a lady and she leaves you at the bar, you were just flirting.
  2. Every year there are rumors of Harbaugh leaving, I never really took them seriously because it seemed he really wanted to be at Michigan despite the flirtations. After winning it all....... I think, if he gets an offer that gives him control (maybe not complete control) of the roster and a team that isn't a dumpster fire he probably takes it. And after last night. I am cool with that. Michigan hired Harbaugh to get them out of the doldrums and back to relevancy, put the program on stable legs, and he did that and more. I still think it is probably 50/50 he stays or goes. While Harbaugh wants that Super Bowl, after the past few years its becoming more clear that the NFL may not actually want Harbaugh. He is an odd duck, and he definitely pisses people off, not all NFL teams will want to deal with that, which is why he didn't get offers after interviewing the past few years. I think DC is probably out, based on how they hired for their search, they seem to be casting a wide net and I don't think at the end Harbaugh is going to interview particularly well compared to the long list of others. San Diego seems to be the only place that may say "fuck the baggage, we need a splash" Michigan has offered him 12.5 a year base, with bonuses of 500K for beating O$U 500k for winning B1G 1 Mil for making the playoffs 1.5 mil for Making the final 2.5 for winning a national championship. I am not sure that those all stack, so it may be 500k for beating OSU and winning the B1G and then one of the playoff bonuses, whichever it ends up being. But that is still close to 15 million a year. Owning an NFL team is a license to print money, but that is a lot of dough to shell out for a coach that flamed out due to a war with ownership the last time he was in the league.
  3. The Big 10 west definitely has broken the advanced stats when it comes to defense. Even on the ones that are "opponent adjusted" it makes it seem like 5 of the top 20 defenses in the country are in the worst division of any power 5 conference. That said, Michigan's defense this year was insane. Dumping Don Brown to bring in the ravens D, first with McDonald, and now with Minter, was the move that saved Jim Harbaugh's job and got Michigan a National Championship. As crazy as it sounds, I would rather Harbaugh go to the NFL and Minter stay in AA next year with Sherrone as head coach, than to lose Minter. Dude is a wizard, to have such perfect game plans against Bama and Washington is amazing.
  4. I am a homer, but JJ is the opposite of douchey. He is super humble, all about giving success to everyone else and crediting his team.
  5. I can't tell you how much I thought about this the past few weeks. If they didn't do it this year I wasn't sure it would ever happen. Penn State and Iowa are just meh, but having to go Penn State, Ohio State, Iowa, Alabama, Washington to close it out was a gauntlet. Beating CFP 10-7-4-2 to win it. Doing that across the playoffs instead of a regular season mix, would be insane. Conf champ game (for a bye) then playing 3 top 12 teams if you win, or 4 top 12 if you lose the conf champ, is asking a LOT. I love the idea of expanded playoffs, but it sucks for anyones team's chances of winning it all.
  6. All season long they refused to run JJ, I assumed it was part of the plan to keep him healthy, but I don't think they had any called runs for him until after he broke that long scramble on 3rd down. Having to account for the QB and the RB makes it a lot more difficult, especially when that RB is Blake Corum, Or Donovan Edwards, Or Kaleel Mullings.
  7. When they miscommunicated on that first blown coverage, I was like, they got average penix instead of god mode penix. Then they just kept hanging around, hanging around. I never felt nervous, but I hated the game plan after Michigan got up. I was screaming for 1st down play action, and both times they used it it was wide open. Maybe if they dont take those 3-4 1 yard gains on consecutive 1st downs it isnt as open but I think it would have been.
  8. Yeah the best rushing game in the playoffs history will definitely cover up the lack of a passing game. Holding that offense to 1 touchdown is way better than I expected, but Penix didn't seem that interested last night. The throws he was making vs UT vs the throws he was making last night looked like two different QBs.
  9. Penix isn’t even trying now. Just hucking it up.
  10. Why get cute there Sherrone. You are running it down their throat. They aren’t stopping you from getting 4 yards in two plays. Run the damn ball.
  11. Apparently if you suck at stopping the run it doesn’t help how many people you throw at the line of scrimmage because they all take terrible lanes and have no gap discipline.
  12. That seems like a gimme, even in a loss I think they throw for 300. If it is 500.... could be trouble.
  13. Thamel and Finebaum were pushing Deboer to Michigan, which seems like just a creation of a storyline for clicks.
  14. Apparently this officiating crew has called the most PI penalties of any of the p5 conference crews on the year. Michigan is the least penalized team in the p5, but I don't love hearing that about the crew. That said, doesn't matter, play your part 3 stacks.
  15. Don't get me wrong, I am going to be pumping some pageantry and hype all day long, but with a 2 and 1 year old I want to make sure I have them snug in their beds before the game actually kicks off.
  16. Its insane that they dont actually show the kickoff time. Like the networks just have to get their hooks in for a little longer. To the best that I found out, coin toss is 745. Kick 747.
  17. That didn't work out too well for Ohio State last year. TCU had more success at throwing 8 guys into running lanes, but that was with Michigan down Corum. I think Michigan's game plan is going to be grind it out on the run and try hit 10ish play action shots on downs where UW is thinking run. 3rd and 2 from around Midfield and whatnot. If Michigan get get a couple stops or hold UW for FGs it is going to be over quickly. If UW gets an early lead or Michigan has another slow start, it could morph into a shootout ala TCU last year.
  18. The ravens played Saturday. The entire staff including John Harbaugh and DC Mike McDonald flew to Houston after the game to help with game prep. The ravens have a Bye next week so the players are off Monday-Tuesday.
  19. Not to mention the entire ravens staff flew in to help prep since they played yesterday and now have a bye. Talk about a boon Michigan implemented this defense when they brought McDonald in two years ago to stop Ohio states. (Best offense ever….. rawr) then he went right back to Baltimore as their DC and sent minter back as michigans DC. The D has been nasty since they changed from don “everyone is on an island 100% of the time” brown
  20. Michigan may throw less than 15 passes in this game. Corum is about Greg Jennings the shit out of this game and put the team on his back doe. The defense built to stop Ohio state is going to help against the Washington passing attack. Make them go the length of the field, convert multiple 3rd downs, and try to make them settle for FGs. Penix played out of his mind last week. Hopefully he doesn’t have another one in him tomorrow. 34-24 Michigan. Go Blue!
