Honestly don’t see it. Leavitt is a top flight coach and could find another DC position at a lot of colleges if he’s interested. The payout is over several years so I would think he would want a decent paying job for a few more years
Hoke was way over his head. His HC experience included a loosing record at Bowling Green and SDSU. If he did t have ours to UM his resume wouldn’t have even lands him an interview. No P5 was interested in him as an HC
You seem to be doing a good enough job putting your own spin on what you think the truth is. I have no problem understanding that a program I support can do the wrong thing and have even called them out for it in the past.
What has been reported is not as horrible as Seth made it out to be and in recruiting there is something called a commitable offer which it appears this kid never had. He did not sign in December which is usually a sign the program or the kid are going the other way. He was told a month ago they wanted him to grey shirt so he is not being pushed out as you suggested just being told to delay it and he does not like that. But of course just putting these facts out there does not make a great story for recruiting sites and making money so instead come out with a story saying just today they told him he doesn’t have an offer
But since you are the only one who knows what has been said between these parties then I guess I should condem JH for pulling such a horrible move
Thanks trader jack. Didn’t realize you had the inside info and have been privy to all conversations between these parties. It seems other reports contradict your theory but we will just go with what you said rather then taking an approach of maybe we should seek to understand all sides rather then condem from one second hand account
At this point he could not talk about the recruit because he is still just a recruit. I am sure JH knows what is being said and doubt he would say a lot more. He’s not the type of coach to come out and say look the kid lied we told him months ago or say yes we screwed him over.
Articles and others in the know said this kid was told weeks ago so guessing the truth is somewhere in the middle
Possibly true but I will give people the benefit of the doubt until I hear their side of the story. There are three sides to every story that’s yours mine and the cold hard truth
Would have to hear both sides of the story to know if Harbaughs credibility is at stake here. Your going off what a 17 year old kid is saying and don’t know the other side of the story
It may actually be a BS move by JH but we will never know what he really told this kid. He may have been told from the start there is a scholarship if the numbers work but if not we won’t be able to honor and you should keep all options open. People usually tell a story that shows them in a favorable light
I do think this team is better then last years but as you mentioned it will all come down to a pitcher stepping up to back up Meghan. They find that and they will be dangerous
Yes this is Harbaugh’s fist rodeo he has no idea when to offer a scholarship or what his roster may look like in the future. He really should check with you on how to do this u til he gets the hang of it
I’ve been through it with a kid and do it because the kids love it and it’s quality time together as a family. In the long run you will probably spend a lot more on the sport then the kid will ever get in scholarship money
It’s early in the process and the kid is just a junior. He might develop into a 4 Star in a year everyone wants. It’s easier to find talent at home when you can see more of them
The job should be open next year just like any position on the team. No one should be locked in and comfortable. Come out to compete and win the job. May the best qb win and lead UM to an NC next year
I think we are fine at tackle. I think Mayfield could become the next great LT at UM. We then can switch Runyon to the right side and have him battle Stueber and the other young players for the starting role. The interior should be very good. I think next years OL could be very good.
I think we need to find a good DT in the transfer portal for next year
I do think the OL dictated a lot of what we did or didn’t do. Have to go with what your team is capable of running. Hopefully wth the entire OL back and another year under Warinner we improve there and Gattis can open it up more
Yes looks like a good hire young up and coming coach who has done some very good work. JH is looking to make a new infusion to the offense. Give him credit for going out and bringing in a new OC
If he’s put his name in the portal he’s leaving. Guys don’t do that for the hell of it and then change their minds. Would love to see Fields not be granted eligibility next year and Martell is gone We can hope right?
Spath is an idiot and this rant is stupid. Maybe we should let a fan get on the headset during the game and call a couple of plays. Does he really think making players take selfies with fans really connects you to the program? Look go out and win football games and the fans will love and support you
Don’t see it as rubbing our nose in it or a desperation move. They brought in a young co-defensive coordinator and need someone with a lot of experience to hold his hand for a couple of years and show him the ropes
Mattison is nearing retirement and was willing to do it for a couple of years. He gets a nice bump in salary for his last couple of years and can probably go out on a high note coaching at OSU. I get it and don’t think it’s a huge loss for us
Its obvious a position to hand hold and groom their next DC. I understand where UM was probably hesitant to offer another contract to a 70 year old DL coach especially with Washington here. I really don’t think it’s a huge blow as this was going to be his last year here anyways. Washington will do just as good of a job with the DL
Yawn. Clemson vs Alabama again. Won’t even turn it on. I actually think this matchup is bad for college football and couldn’t care less about this game. Need something different
Yep college football has no intrigue anymore and much of the excitement is gone. Will be surprised if we don’t see Alabama vs Clemson for the 100th straight year playing for the NC yawn
Yes thank you Chase for your 5 years at UM and giving it your all to the end. To bad we didn’t have 22 guys with your attitude at UM it’s obvious your frustrated by it also
Your opinion on spath is spot on. He’s not very connected and usually talks out of his ass. Could there be a sliver of truth to this? Maybe but nothing to the extent he’s trying to pitch
What exactly do you want the guy to say in a press conference right after the game. Tell you every detail of changes he might make and conversations he’s had with coaches. Believe me behind closed doors there is some chewing out going on and ideas being thrown about on how to fix things. You don’t make that stuff public
A good post and true. But have you read the board lately. Many posters are saying we should fire JH and even though they ha e no clue who we should hire they are calling for his head
If people can’t see the improvement this program has made in 4 years and the great job he is still doing in recruiting then they refuse to see the forest through the trees. The bitching lately has been unbearable Sure he needs to make some adjustments and I believe he will but this constant droning about he sucks and everything about the program sucks is just plain stupid
Exactly. The Big 12 is not as tough as the B1G and if I’m not mistaken we lost just one more game then then this year. Why do people think they are so much better then us. People bitch about our offense but they don’t play defense there. They have plenty of problems themselves
Your logic makes no sense. There are elite teams in college football Alabama Clemson OSU and probably Georgia. Then there is everyone else. 10 wins in today’s day and age is a very good season and he still brings in top10 recruiting classes. You think that’s not good coaching? Your crazy is all I can say
look I’m not thrilled with the last two games but I also know discarding JH for some young up and comer has a more likely chance of becoming Hoke or RR all over again rather then us becoming Alabama. This program is still a lot better then it was 4 years ago and to reach the top of the mountain will not be easy but Sabans and Dabos don’t just grow on trees out there or everyone would have them. I guess watch what you wish for

Hope they can make it happen. B1G hockey needs more teams and Illinois would be a nice addition
Honestly don’t see it. Leavitt is a top flight coach and could find another DC position at a lot of colleges if he’s interested. The payout is over several years so I would think he would want a decent paying job for a few more years
He doesn’t know where it came from??? Yea maybe it was from shooting them in the ass with PEDs is how they tests positive
Softball kicks off their season today also. Go Blue all weekend
Good luck on the season ladies
Hoke was way over his head. His HC experience included a loosing record at Bowling Green and SDSU. If he did t have ours to UM his resume wouldn’t have even lands him an interview. No P5 was interested in him as an HC
Congrats to him. He is closer to home and hope he has a great career there
Either way good luck to him. Hope he can get his academics in order and finish his degree
Great news for Ty. Good luck to him

I don’t mind any coach being criticized but do it with 100% of the facts rather then condemn with only one side of the story
At this point he could not talk about the recruit because he is still just a recruit. I am sure JH knows what is being said and doubt he would say a lot more. He’s not the type of coach to come out and say look the kid lied we told him months ago or say yes we screwed him over.

It’s not needed. Be above that crappy school. Cheer and have fun but no need to chant that at a game. There are families and young kids there
I didn’t think anyone watched that game unless you need a cure for insomnia
Yes this is Harbaugh’s fist rodeo he has no idea when to offer a scholarship or what his roster may look like in the future. He really should check with you on how to do this u til he gets the hang of it
She showed very well and is a great skater. It was great to see that last night
I’ve been through it with a kid and do it because the kids love it and it’s quality time together as a family. In the long run you will probably spend a lot more on the sport then the kid will ever get in scholarship money

No he told them to bring their own drinks and food and only eat out of site of his guests
Yes glad he’s not going to OSU. Hoping Fields is not ruled eligible for next year
The job should be open next year just like any position on the team. No one should be locked in and comfortable. Come out to compete and win the job. May the best qb win and lead UM to an NC next year
I will cheer for whoever wins the job
And as this rye if treatment continues and more coaches learn about it he might start having trouble getting quality coaches
I think we are fine at tackle. I think Mayfield could become the next great LT at UM. We then can switch Runyon to the right side and have him battle Stueber and the other young players for the starting role. The interior should be very good. I think next years OL could be very good.

Smart move by him if he wants to play. Good luck to him
Yes looks like a good hire young up and coming coach who has done some very good work. JH is looking to make a new infusion to the offense. Give him credit for going out and bringing in a new OC

Does he really think making players take selfies with fans really connects you to the program? Look go out and win football games and the fans will love and support you
He would be a good hire. I remember him being both a good recruiter and coach and thought it was a big loss when he left
Don’t see it as rubbing our nose in it or a desperation move. They brought in a young co-defensive coordinator and need someone with a lot of experience to hold his hand for a couple of years and show him the ropes

Yawn. Clemson vs Alabama again. Won’t even turn it on. I actually think this matchup is bad for college football and couldn’t care less about this game. Need something different
It’s friday I’m in love. How about a Bang
I do think Runyon flops to the right side and Mayfield takes over as our next great LT
I like it. Nice clean look
Is Jack Hughes playing again. He was hurt in their opening game and missed the next two
Yep college football has no intrigue anymore and much of the excitement is gone. Will be surprised if we don’t see Alabama vs Clemson for the 100th straight year playing for the NC yawn
Good luck Zach

You and me both mineral king. UM fans are irrational you would think this team just went 2-10
Exactly. The Big 12 is not as tough as the B1G and if I’m not mistaken we lost just one more game then then this year. Why do people think they are so much better then us. People bitch about our offense but they don’t play defense there. They have plenty of problems themselves
