December 9, 20205 yr I was reading back in this thread to catch up on Michigan’s season (haven’t paid much attention to any non-Alabama football this year) and I must say, these two posts stood out, for very different reasons.
December 11, 20205 yr I watched this DVD again the other night. Something I do every year. If you have an hour to kill, it's a pretty good little documentary. You might also find it on HBO on demand. It's not perfect, but it's pretty good. I'd give it a 9-9.5 out of 10. The timing of it being filmed in 2006 when OSU and Michigan happened to meet as #1 vs. #2 the day after Bo Schembechler's death was uncanny. There's a shot where an emotional Earle Bruce (RIP) leads a room full of Buckeye fans in a moment of silence in remembrance of Bo. That was at the Buckeye Club breakfast at the French Field House that Saturday morning. I was there. You could've heard a pin drop. It was a unique atmosphere at The Game that day because Bo was both a Buckeye and a Michigan Man. Both sides shared in the loss of a good man and one of their own. Sadly, both teams screwed the pooch in their bowl games that year and Michigan hasn't fielded a team that good since.
December 15, 20205 yr If you were wondering if Michigan pussed out of the Ohio state game, this should clear that up for you

December 22, 20205 yr Firing Don Brown all but seals the fact that Jimmy will be back for another few years.
January 2, 20214 yr Michigan: We like so much what this guy didn't do that we are going to give him more money and make us endure him for even longer! Michigan fans:

Michigan fans: I’m pretty sure Harbaugh’s new contract pays him less money and lowers his buyout. That’s according to John U. Bacon who was the first to break the story about contract extension talks awhile back. It will be interesting to see who Harbaugh hires to replace Don Brown as DC.

You can see him in that HBO Sports documentary on The Rivalry that I posted above. He does a fairly mediocre impression of Bo Schembechler but he’s a pretty reliable source for info on Michigan athletics.

January 8, 20214 yr 4 minutes ago, Lenny Hornridge said: I'm getting sick of the OSU Bucknuts getting everything they want. No doubt. Michigan keeps Harbaugh, Pedo State hires Yurcich as the new OC, Fickell still in the minors. He ain't God, but Ryan Day just might be Moses with the way everything parts before him. Can't believe we have to rely on Schiano to find some more of that old Raritan magic just so tOSU has a competitive divisional game one of these years.

I know the natural reaction is to laugh, but realistically there weren't many HC options on the market this year that were actually better. If Michigan's smart, they've re-structured his contract in such a way that they can more easily buy him out in a year or two.

January 8, 20214 yr New contract terms. $4MM to buy out Harbaugh next year. No bonus for beating Ohio State but winning the Big Ten East is essentially the same thing.
January 10, 20214 yr So I kind of like this approach. The carnival ride had just gotten too wild— either overpay or fire (and also overpay in the form of a buyout). I’d like to see more schools try this out on coaches that aren’t disasters but aren’t saviors either.
