  10. Sherrone Moore: Jim Harbaugh prophesied me becoming head coach at Michigan ZACH BARNETT JUN 11, 2024 Sherrone Moore was in the TSA line at an airport in Houston when he learned he was probably about to become Michigan's new head coach. "It popped up on my phone, 'Jim Harbaugh to the Chargers.' I was like, okay," Moore told Joel Klatt on the most recent edition of Big Noon Conversations. "That second (phone notification sounds). Text messages, calls. Text messages, calls. Our AD, our assistant AD calls, 'Hey, you've got to come back right now.' Recalling the chain of events months later, Moore got his dates mixed up. He recalled getting the job on a Saturday, but the Chargers hired Harbaugh on Wednesday, Jan. 24, and Michigan announced Moore on Friday, Jan. 26. Either way, Michigan's search -- if we can even call it that -- lasted less than 48 hours, but in reality Moore knew he was getting the job long before that. In fact, at some point during Michigan's run to the 2023 national championship, Harbaugh told Moore he would become his replacement. "He said, 'I don't know when, I don't know what's going to happen, no man can tell the future.'" Klatt then joked about Harbaugh giving Moore a Harbaugh-ism, but knowing Jim I'd bet he actually quoted Mark 13:32, when Jesus prepared His followers for the destruction of Earth: “However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows." Moore's ascension to the throne of Michigan football was not always outwardly obvious. He had only six seasons of full-time coaching experience when he joined Harbaugh's staff as tight ends coach in 2018. The next three seasons represented a valley in the Harbaugh era: Michigan went 21-11 over the next three seasons, did not win a bowl game, and saw the gap with Ohio State grow to a point where the Buckeyes dropped 62 and 56 points on the Wolverines during their 2018 and '19 games. Things dropped to a point where some believed, had the 2020 edition of The Game not been cancelled due to covid, the Harbaugh era never would've lasted to 2021. Harbaugh instituted a number of changes following Michigan's 2-4, virus-shorted campaign, and the best of them was promoting to co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach in 2021. In 2021-22, Michigan went 25-3 with back-to-back defeats of Ohio State and back-to-back Big Ten championships. At some point during that season, Harbaugh told Moore he was working to officially appoint him his head coach-in-waiting. "He said, 'You're going to be the next head coach at Michigan.' I was like, what? He said, 'I'm going to put it in my contract that if I ever leave, that you're the next head coach at Michigan.'" Moore said that conversation happened "at the beginning of the year." Even still, Moore's status as the next man up was not outwardly obvious. Moore was appointed interim head coach during Harbaugh's 3-game suspension to open the 2023 season, but so was defensive coordinator Jesse Minter, and special teams coordinator Jay Harbaugh, and running backs coach Mike Hart. Those four men split game day head coaching duties for the first three games of Michigan's season. But when Harbaugh was suspended again, this time during the stretch run of Michigan's regular season, Moore alone was appointed the acting leader of the program. Moore coached Michigan to a key win at Penn State, guided the team's efforts to its 1,000th all-time win against Maryland, and then earned plaudits for his gutsy play-calling while also serving as acting head coach for the Wolverines' 30-24 win over undefeated Ohio State. As we know, that contract never got done. From Moore's perspective, though, it was a moot point. He didn't need Harbaugh's endorsement or a contractual booster to his claim for the throne. His performance alone -- specifically, that Ohio State game -- was enough. "He trusted me and this offense to do everything possible to help him and this team win," Moore said. "I just worked as hard as I could this year."
  11. The backup quarterback is just one play away from taking the field as the old saying goes. For Steve Sarkisian at Texas, that play has happened in every one of his three seasons as head coach of the Longhorns. Starting quarterback Quinn Ewers missed time in 2022 and 2023 due to injuries serious enough to sideline him for multiple games. In 2022, Hudson Card stepped in and went 2-1 as the starter in the contests Ewers missed. 2023 saw Maalik Murphy step in and win two games in Ewers’ stead. In both instances, Ewers returned to the starting role and posted a record of 9-4 in the games after his returns. Circumstances were different in 2021, Sarkisian’s first year, when Card won the starting quarterback role out of camp but was replaced in the early stages of the season by Casey Thompson. Injury and lack of effectiveness caused Thompson and Card to rotate as starter, but that was a case of Sarkisian being forced to play QB2 in a situation he would preferred not to have done so. Ahead of 2024, Sarkisian is planning for the best-case scenario that Ewers starts every game the Longhorns play in their first season in the Southeastern Conference. But he also made sure to prepare for adversity and ensure that back-up Arch Manning and third-stringer Trey Owens saw extensive reps during the spring should they be needed this season. “I think that’s the reason we played them the way that we did in the spring game,” Sarkisian said at SEC Spring Meetings in Destin. “That’s why before the spring game, I met with Quinn and he knew how that was going to go. I needed Arch to get extensive playing time. I needed Trey Owens to get extensive playing time.” For Manning, that’s in contrast to last year during the spring. Ewers was the starter as he is this year, but Murphy took the lion’s share of the second-string reps. Manning was cheered loudly for his brief appearance in last year’s spring game, and his short opportunities against Texas Tech and Oklahoma State. But those were limited because of his place on the depth chart. With his status as the backup, and with Owens also needing seasoning ahead of potential chances, Sarkisian took a different approach. “I know who Quinn Ewers is,” Sarkisian said. “I needed to get those guys exposed in the spring game.” Manning was 19-for-25 for 355 yards and three touchdowns with one interception occurring on the final play of the game. Owens was 14-for-21 for 228 yards and three touchdowns of his own. Sarkisian would like for those strong outings from Manning and Owens to be precursors for opportunities in non-conference play to stand in for Ewers once the Longhorns have tilted the scoreboard in their favor. Those chances, at least in Manning’s case, would be in preparation for succeeding Ewers in 2025 or stepping in for Texas’ QB1 in 2024 should Ewers find himself yet again on the sidelines due to injury. It’s reps Sarkisian believes his quarterbacks need in order to have a great chance at future success. “Hopefully, we can find some opportunities early in the season where we can get Arch some valuable experience, and even Trey for that matter, just to get them comfortable playing,” Sarkisian said.
  12. Crazy part of this decision of leaving Caitlin off 2024 Olympic team... what if she can't play in 2028??? This is a dumb mistake for the WNBA and women's basketball -- sometimes they are their own worst enemy.
  13. Stephen A: "Tragic" Women Will RUIN THE WNBA!
