Buckle Up? Change may happen today (EDIT: 1:30 PM Presser To Discuss Brandon)

Submitted by Moe on

Lot's of chatter this morning about a change happening TODAY with the AD.  Nothing confirmed as of yet, but STAY TUNED.  

 

EDIT:  No trick, just treats for all of us wanting him out.  

Edit 2:  BOOM

 

RT @reporterdavidj: BREAKING: #UMICH to hold press conference to discuss @DaveBrandonAD, multiple sources tell Free Press.

Chris Balas from TheWolverine.com (Rivals) posted on Twitter: "Stay Tuned Today".



For all we know he's going to post a picture of him in his Halloween Costume dressed as Brandon. 

Doesn't make logical sense to fire Brandon the day before the Homecoming game. The day after, sure. The day before? I dunno. Anything is possible but the timing seems off.

Wouldn't the best time to fire the AD that has alienated and pissed off a bunch of alums be the day before they all come to town for a football game?  I actually thought that something would happen earlier this week because of it being homecoming.

No better time to start passing the hat to collect all the buyout money than when all the alums are back in town!

Stop toying with my emotions. If it hasn't happened yet or there's no credible source, it's not worth reporting on.

EDIT: Alright, that's good enough for me. You win, I will allow myself to get a little excited now. I still stand by my downvote for posting without sources.

I heard the same from a friend inside the department that there are rumblings about DB stepping down as AD. Again, not confirmed, word of mouth, etc. I wasn't going to post it because of the aforementioned caveats but with this thread I decided it was worth noting.

 

Here's to hoping it's true!

The difference between ESPN citing an anonymous source and some random guy on a blog citing an anonymous source can be measured in orders of magnitude. I have no reason to believe that this guy is well-connected or that his sources are anything more than someone in his econ class that knows a guy who tried out for the lacross team.

maybe they are true? He did say it's similar to the flight tracker stuff so it's a 50-50 chance this happens today. Nothing crazy but Sam Webb did have some coaching profiles on Gobluewolverine today so things are moving along.

Jeff Moss is tweeting that he is hearing things and perhaps a 1:30 press conference.  He's decently connected in Detroit.  He is asking for confirmation too, though, not giving it.
