Scratch one huge name off the Rams’ list of potential coaching hires. Reacting to a hot rumor in the wake of Jeff Fisher’s dismissal, Jim Harbaugh told his Michigan players that he wasn’t going anywhere.

quote:

"[I’ll keep this] short, sweet and to the point: I’m not leaving."


quote:

“A lot of this talk is coming from our enemies, From coaches who, and you know the names. You probably know the names of the top three that I’m referring to. They like to say [I’m leaving] to the media, they like to tell that to recruits and their families to try to manipulate them into going into another school besides Michigan.


quote:

“But we know them as jive turkeys.”


Harbaugh didn’t specify who those “jive turkeys” were

My top 5 candidates for Jive Turkeys:

Urban
Franklin
Dino
Saban
Dabo

Those 5 seem to make him the most angry recruiting wise

Franklin is a known dirty recruiter. The shite that he apparently told recruits during his time at Vanderbilt is hilarious.

Would just make up shite about other teams and coaches relentlessly.

Scratch all huge names off the list. It's the fricking Rams. Fisher was just the tip of the inept spear.

This all started with that Albert Breer interview on Cowherd. He's an OSU alum, so naturally UM fans are blaming OSU and Urban for this one

Classic Urban Meyers tactic.
Bet SEC teams are telling our recruits that too.

Sounds exactly like Urban Meyer. And Franklin for that matter. Don't really care about any other jive turkeys after that unless they're in the SEC.

Jim Harbaugh perpetually toes the line between football guy and "just chill out man"
