Lets hope not. JH at Michigan would be a freaking terror.



I hope for it. I don't doubt Bama could beat em, and I like it when the traditional powers are the top teams.

I think its a combination of both. If they can hire a homerun guy, he gets canned, if not he stays. No point in making another uninspired hire and doing it again in 3 years.

I'm ready for Michigan to be good again. Big games at the Big House make for great TV and I've always liked them more than OSU

meechigan would be stupid as frick to wait until after the new year to save only a million dollars. You lose a lot of possible candidates.


One of the reasosns they had to settle for Hoke was they didn't fire Rich Rod until after the Gator Bowl.

This would be great opportunity for Miles to lobby for the job and have leverage with who the new AD would be. Come on Les! Its all right there in front of you!


And then Alleva will come back with a 6 year extension and $2 million per year more. Seen this movie before.

that they are giving Hoke 1 more year



Why would they come out and say 'one more year'? Although it should be obvious that he's on a short leash, they are kinda setting him up for failure if they come out and say this. Why would any recruits sign under those conditions?

I highly doubt they'd outright say "one more year." It'd be along the lines of "he's our coach going forward" and then a bunch of empty talk about how he's refocusing and they're confident in him.

They're just finalizing the contract for Les to take over as AD.

Here is what I've been told:

Hoke will not be retained. They may wait until after the football banquet to say anything formally.

If they look down South for a replacement, this time there would be an actual offer.

Ya, I think this is the time Les comes. Hope he brings Pelini with him.

Les' age could either be viewed as a deterrent or strength.

He could be a nice short term bridge to stabilize the program, rights the ship for a few years, and then turns it over. He rides off into the sunset rebuilding his alma matter. But they may want a long term solution

with the pickings being slim if they want to fire Hoke it could be the best option

I told someone this yesterday. Miles goes to Michigan as the AD to remediate damage caused by Brandon. Miles then offers Harbaugh, who passes.

No chance miles goes as AD. Hacket will be there at least a year.

After cycling through 2 coaches in 7 years, does Michigan really want another short term solution?

I know everyone is obsessed with "home run" hires, but there are several good options in the lower tier BCS and non-P5 coaching ranks. Lloyd Carr was an assistant for Gary Moeller. Bo Schembechler was the head coach at Miami (OH). Tressel came from FCS. Dantonio had three lackluster years at Cincinnati. Guys like Saban and Urban Meyer are a rarity. Let's stop acting like the only way to hire a good coach is to pick one off from another good program.
