Poll results: Who will be the next head coach at Michigan?
Jim Harbaugh
Michigan fans are buying the hype - almost 50% of them think Jim Harbaugh will be the next Michigan head coach. Greg Schiano is ranked too high at 2%, though, people.
Obviously, the issue with Michigan is that they're waiting for an NFL head coach who has yet to finish his NFL season. I'm assuming this was a rhetorical question but I'm answering anyway.
If you think the likelihood of a Paul Chryst or the equivalent won't be available in 3 weeks, then we are in trouble. I personally feel that taking that level of candidate now is nothing more than filling the position to settle the fan base. Not how I want this to end.
Right. It's frustrating, but we are basically waiting for Harbaugh to finish the season.
I am not too worried though. Hackett appears to have plan B in case Harbaugh doesn't come through -- he seems to build a list of plan B candidates (Mullen, Mora, etc.) through a search firm.
Greg Schiano was mediocre at Rutgers and sucked in the NFL, who would want him to coach anything?
ReplyDeleteAddazio or Schiano, and I might consider abandoning this "fan" thing. My heart has been through too much over the past 7-8 years.
DeleteOnce again, too many Michigan fans seem to be confusing how badly they want something with how likely it is to happen.
ReplyDeleteAnd I see that yet another school (Wisconsin) has filled their coaching vacancy quickly and with minimal fuss. So again, what's Michigan's problem?
