Michigan announced today that it has retained Korn/Ferry, an executive search firm, to assist in its search for a new football coach.
Jed Hughes, a former Michigan football coach, is the head of Korn/Ferry's global sports practice. While at Spencer Stuart, Hughes helped in Michigan's hire of Dave Brandon as athletic director in 2010, then assisted with its hire of Brady Hoke as football coach in 2011.
Hughes also coached LSU coach Les Miles and UM interim athletic director Jim Hackett while at Michigan in the 1970s.

this is kind of odd.
their top candidates seem to be pretty obvious; why do they need a search firm?

Neither of which are still there so why the hell would they hire them again?

Well shite, they may connect with Miles and reunite the Fearsome Threesome.

Guess Harbaugh and Miles are off the list, they obviously know where they are

You get some plausible deniability as well, both for UM and the targets. If someone asks have you spoken to so and so about the job, you can say no, because UM officials did not have direct contact.

At the time Brady Hoke seemed to be a good hire...You just never know for sure.

This has been known since the initial press conference when hoke's firing was announced.

It's gonna get embarrassing

In what world did he ever look like a good hire? He had a mediocre record at lower division programs and the only reason he got hired was that he was an assistant here for a few years.
Rodriguez on the other hand was a good hire, if they had given him enough cash to hire a great DC and stayed out of his way we would probably be heading to a great bowl game this season instead of looking around for a new head coach.

Hackett is going through a checklist and making sure that all of the development points of the process are done. This would allow them to say "we did everything we could to find the best man for the job" at the new coach intro Press Conference

this would seem to send the msg that both Harbaugh and Miles are no-go's
but I could be wrong, shot in the dark

A search firm is almost always hired to vet backgrounds and conduct due diligence. That work is typically outside of the realm of an AD's office.

Michigan really is desperate now.
No way Miles goes over to that sinking ship.
This is looking like the Tennessee situation after Fulmer, look what it did to the Vols program.

Did you know that Michigan didn't win a single bowl game in the 1970's...
