Harbaugh ready to move on?

[JP4CY]

Well this is not shocking at all. Would concern me a little bit about CMC (even being an Ohio guy).

I've read on here that he was really a Michigan fan. Oh well.

Urban Meyer COME ON DOWN!!

Makes sense from Harbaugh’s side.

While I love Campbell and everything he's done here, how do you sell him to your fans if you're Michigan? Michigan struggles with Michigan State and can't beat Ohio State. Campbell is 0-4 vs Iowa.

Honest question, would being an Ohio guy cause the big donors to recoil a bit? Saying as an outsider to that rivalry.

Then again, if they're seriously considering Urban, they probably don't care as long as they can deliver championships.

I'm more curious how the "Process" philosophy would jive at a blue blood like Michigan, where it's a different beast in terms of expectations and the type of recruits you get there.

When you're a player or coach at a place like Michigan, you're there to win big, and win now.

Who would Michigan even get...?

Doubt it. Bo was an assistant for Woody at Ohio State

Interesting. So I doubt they'd be worried about Urban if he delivers a NC to them.

Weren't some people at ISU hesitant about McCarney because he was an assistant for Fry?

Urban’s not a Bo. I’d be really surprised if he took that route. I think he’s going to USC.

Yeah USC would be a great fit for Urb.

Wonder if Pete Carroll will ever return to the college ranks at a Florida State or something like that.

I wouldn't if I was him.

Pete Carroll is a west coast guy. At this stage in his life I would have a really hard time believing he would leave the Pacific Time Zone.

If this happens and I'm Michigan, my first call is Bob Stoops.

Bob is more of a Bo.

I'd be surprised if Campbell actually went to Michigan - it's really starting to feel like he truly wants to be here long-ish term - though they'd be smart to pursue him.

But if/when Campbell leaves, Michigan is the type of job I could see him leaving for. Among the blueblood program jobs it's relatively low-drama, relatively sane fans, good fan support in numbers if not quite as much passion. (Lots of "relatively-s" here because it's college sports...there's always drama and insane fans.)

Compare that to other blueblood jobs like Texas or USC or Florida State where there just doesn't seem to be a cultural fit.

Matt Rhule is someone to keep an eye on. Has Big 10 roots, has flirted with NFL teams the past two years. I know he just got an extension, but it wouldn't shock me if he was Michigans guy.

 

[SECyclone]

Look at Stoops for a big name but they could also try for Brent Venables and Alex Grinch IMO
