Been following several UM writers and blogs over the last few weeks and I get the feeling most believe JH will not the back. This is all stemming from potential NFL openings, in particular NY and San Diego. If the right one comes open and their is mutual interest they believe he’s gone. Even though their 21 class is signed and recent Don Brown being let go, does not indicate a preference to coming back. Many believe the extension is done, just not signed and public, all while waiting for the NFL to wrap up tomorrow.
All this to say if JH goes to the NFL, many of those same writers/bloggers have CMC at the top of their list for UM to go all in for. Again, not shocking in the least. But the radio silence from JH for weeks and from their AD is odd.
Just sets up an interesting next week when the NFL wraps up and see what openings happens and or what comes out of Ann Arbor . Equally interesting if JP makes his move in some capacity next week, new deal offer, more years, money, etc.
My guess if we don’t hear anything publicly from the ISU front early next week, not sure that’s a good thing. Now that’s just my opinion, but after a year like this, JP has to offer CMC something. Technically he doesn’t, he’s got a contract, but out of any year this one should have something. Years past it was fairly quick after the last game, new deal, extended years, assistant salaries, etc. Hearing nothing may indicate CMC would be willing to listen to suitors (particularly UM).
Hopefully CMC wants to continue to build his program at ISU, but when a blue blood may be open, from a place he grew up near, it’s a major thing to watch.
