CC: How does Alabama having a vacancy affect Michigan?
January 10th, 2024 at 8:39 PM ^
Bama deserves better than him. He's done absolutely nothing ever since he said that players shouldn't be compensated for playing college football.
January 10th, 2024 at 8:43 PM ^
My only fear is that whoever Bama hires their coach from (or whoever that school hires their coach from) goes after Moore, and Harbaugh decides to leave after Moore has taken a HC job somewhere else. My absolute worst nightmare is if Arizona is involved in this carousel and Fisch won't come here either. I honestly don't know where we'd go at that point, assuming Minter follows Harbaugh..

So basically your worry is that everything that could go wrong, will go wrong.
January 10th, 2024 at 10:09 PM ^
BPONE didn't even take a week off.
Oh Michigan, why are you so Michigan?
January 10th, 2024 at 9:17 PM ^
It doesn’t impact Harbaugh at all, but if Harbaugh stays there’s a good chance Sherrone Moore is a candidate for whatever school Alabama hires from (Oregon for instance).
January 10th, 2024 at 9:19 PM ^
it doesn’t.
January 10th, 2024 at 9:26 PM ^
None
But it would be epic to see Georgia go for 3rd base when Bama pays $16M a year for Kirby.
January 10th, 2024 at 9:31 PM ^
If it’s Moore, I guess something, something 3rd base.🤷♂️

Alabama is very likely to poach a sitting head coach from a prominent program. He'll bring most of his staff along leaving bunch of openings. That domino effect could have some effect, but probably a minor one, if Michigan embarks on a coaching search. If we don't, it's unlikely to make any difference to us.
January 10th, 2024 at 10:25 PM ^
Not at all.
January 10th, 2024 at 11:16 PM ^
Harbaugh leaving Michigan for the NFL would make as much sense as Beilein leaving Michigan for the NBA. No coach in their right mind would make that move.
Harbaugh is a made man at Michigan. He's 60 years old and has nothing left to prove. His chances of getting back to the Super Bowl are not good. His chance of remaining a contender in college football are very good. He's at home in Ann Arbor and loves his job.

The first call they should make is Kalen DeBoer and I will accept no other answer
January 11th, 2024 at 9:56 AM ^
For me, a DeBoer hire would mean they missed on Dan Lanning and Sark and don't want Dabo.
January 11th, 2024 at 7:13 AM ^
Very likely - no impact whatsoever.
Though - on the periphery - if Lanning goes to Tuscaloosa - who does Oregon go after? That’s the only scenario that concerns me.
January 11th, 2024 at 8:00 AM ^
They go after nobody who has anything to do with Michigan. Idk, there's just no reason to worry about any of this affecting our staff.
Mike McDonald getting HC interviews could lead to the Ravens offering Minter their DC position.
Carroll out at Seattle opens up a potential landing spot in the NFL for Coach Harbaugh.
Saban retiring really doesn't affect our team at all.
January 11th, 2024 at 8:43 AM ^
Are we worried Oregon comes after Sherrone Moore? That'd be my only 'concern' if you can call it that. And I don't see a scenario in which Moore would leave Michigan now anyway.
If Harbaugh leaves, I think Moore gets promoted. If Harbaugh stays (please dear baby Jesus let this happen) the staff stays intact as it is.
January 11th, 2024 at 10:16 AM ^
Seems unlikely the staff stays intact. Someone will get an opportunity to improve themselves.
January 11th, 2024 at 7:42 AM ^
Transfer portal OUT
January 11th, 2024 at 7:58 AM ^
It doesn't.
January 11th, 2024 at 8:53 AM ^
What's the chance that Harbaugh drags this out so we can ONLY promote from within?
January 11th, 2024 at 8:59 AM ^
I did take a look at the Vegas odds, and they had Moore as only a 25/1 shot, better odds than Sark according to them. I don't really believe that's a possibility, but that would be something.
DeBeor is a potential candidate for that job, and would also maybe be a candidate for a Michigan outside hire, I don't think most of us would want an outside hire, but if you're worried about the availability of that guy, then sure, could impact that.
Seems like it'll probably be Lanning and wrapped up quickly, though.
January 11th, 2024 at 9:11 AM ^
I'm more worried about Minter leaving than anything Alabama does.
January 11th, 2024 at 2:22 PM ^
I think that Alabama will talk to Sarkisian first but I don't think he will leave Texas. If Harbaugh leaves I would go after DeBoer. I like Moore/Minter but they don't have head coaching experience and I like DeBoer better anyways. I am assuming Harbaugh will take Minter with him...
