According to The Wolverine’s Chris Balas, offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore will be named the 21st head coach of Michigan football, but it will take 7-10 days because, as a public university job, it needs to be posted for a week.


The only matter on Kelly’s mind has been getting LSU prepared for the playoffs. Kelly was never going anywhere, but that has never stopped sports agents from leaking stuff to the media, we all know that. Michigan knew quickly Kelly wasn’t leaving LSU, they settled quickly on a hire for a reason.

He said BK would take it if offered. No that he was next HC. I don’t think BK would take it, personally. Not with this staff he just put together and recruiting heating up.

Kelly has reshaped the D and made the moves he had to on offense. He's recruited well and most of the players have obviously bought in because they aren't jumping into the portal. Heres to Coach Kelly getting him, LSU and us a National Championship.

the "sources close to" line pisses me off in both regular and sports media. There's no way to verify this.

Brian Kelly keeps everything close to the vest. Who in the frick is he telling random hypotheticals to like if Harbaugh leaves I'll and I'm offered the job I'll go. And then this person is untrust worthy enough to just go tell Billy Liuci and it's believed now?

it's irresponsible reporting and I wish false reports could be fined.

I'm with you here.

Kelly was already at Notre Dame, and had it humming along with 10-11 win seasons every year. I don't believe he'd have left Notre Dame for Michigan, as he was already at "an elite" Northern program.

He took the LSU job, I think, to satisfy his own curiosity- could his system work at an SEC/Southern powerhouse? He got the salary in the right range, and more importantly he has the time to build it up- that longterm contract.

Had he stumbled at LSU, I could see him jumping back up North, to a more familiar landscape. But he hasn't; 2 straight 9 win regular seasons, with a win over Saban's Alabama team and a Heisman winner... with a program he's admitted isn't ready to compete for a title yet.

All homerism and trash talking aside, I think Kelly is extremely happy here.

They were never interested in BK in the first place

I don't necessarily think he would leave, but this doesn't prove anything. I think Michigan was set on Sherrone Moore, especially after he was an interim for those 6 games this year. They never went after BK.

Like CBK is going to hire the best staff in college football and have a playoff team this year and take a UM coaching job and basically start over and freeze his arse off at the same time. Not likely. CBK is building a dominant program at LSU.

I understand not everyone likes Mascona and there are things about his personality that rub me the wrong way. But do you remember who we had talking sports before him? at least drive time, it was bad. richard I dont go to the games condon, john fine, Buddy Songy? It's been a while and i remember some AM broadcasts that were ok, but he upped the game imo. i think a part of it is that familiarity does really breed contempt.

I do not understand how anyone thought he would take the Meeshigan job if offered.
