Harbaugh

Between the relationship CMC has with JP, the latitude he's given and what I feel is mutual respect/love with the fanbase I just don't see CMC leaving for a place like Michigan. I only truly worry about Ohio St. There will be several years before we as ISU fans have to worry about that.

Just keep showing support for him.

He’s not leaving for Michigan. It’s absolutely mind blowing that so many people have THAT as the job they’re worried about him going to.

I mean, of all the possible openings, its surely up there compared to most others. Don't think he'd take it either, but it'd certainly be more concerning than most other openings.

If he was from literally ANY other place I would agree. It’s just not going to happen. CMC is a family man he wouldn’t betray his family like that and make their lives living hells in Ohio. There would not be an Ohio HS football coach that would let him anywhere near their top kids. He’s be a Judas. Just not happening in this day and age.

Can we stop this chatter about CMC and Michigan? It is the eve of the biggest bowl game in ISU history. We should be celebrating this year and this moment; let's not worry about the future just yet.

Furthermore, these are only rumors put in place by journalists to help drive attention to their articles. The only things I have ever seen are journalists speculating that Harbaugh may leave and if he does, here are the candidates the journalists feels would be a good fit. It's click bait. Anyone can write an article on potential new candidates, with absolutely no proof that the candidate is even interested in the job. But has anyone actually submitted evidence that CMC is actually interested in a potential opening at Michigan this offseason?

So let's just sit back, enjoy the bowl game, celebrate arguably the greatest season in ISU history. Until there is actual proof that CMC is interested in the Michigan job, let's put this story to bed.

Campbell won’t take that job but you are silly thinking Ohio kids won’t go to Michigan with the right coach. Michigan snags a ton of Ohio kids even with bad coaches. Get one with Ohio roots that already has friendships and he would be going head to head with Ohio state and getting players

I see no problem discussing it. Also it seems everyone also believes there is no chance of this happening.

lastly, pretty sure we can celebrate tomorrow and still have discussions about other things.

He didn’t say Ohio kids wouldn’t go to Michigan. He said Ohio high school coaches wouldn’t give what they would deem a traitor as much access to their kids.

And that’s totally wrong. High scoop coaches would not see him as a traitor. That’s just dumb if you know anything about recruiting. High school coaches have three star athletes that would suffer if they took that approach

The night before the biggest bowl game in ISU history is definitely not the time to have a discussion regarding rumors put forth by journalists with absolutely no credible information.

In related news, Saban is a candidate for the Michigan job, too. He is familiar with the state as he was a head coach at MSU, has great recruiting skills, boosters will LOVE him, and he’s ready for a new challenge.

See, anyone can start rumors with no credible information.

Thus isn’t the 90’s anymore. tOSU is light years ahead of Michigan right now. It’s like the same difference from ISU to Michigan.
 
People just need to realize that CMC will be here as long as he WANTS to be here..... and if he leaves it will NOT be because JP didn't do enough to keep him here.

The only reason I think CMC leaves is if his dream job becomes available or he accomplishes everything he's wanted to do here and needs another challenge. For me, it doesn't concern me at all because there's nothing I can do about it..... and like I said, JP will have done everything he can too..... so if CMC decides it's time to go..... he'll be gone and there's nothing that can be done about it.

You say all this, but Bo was an Ohio boy and one of Woody's assistant before he headed up north...

It's happened before.

The only thing I’ll point out is that coaching at Michigan allows you the potential to play with players we’re watching tonight. Different level.
 
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.
I've been following several bloggers and writers that say CMC is firmly entrenched.....so I think we are safe. :jimlad:

1. I don't think CMC has a "dream job." I'm sure there are several schools that he would "take calls" from.
2. He and his wife have told their daughters' swim club friends and parents that they want to be here for several more years - because their kids love it so much. I sure would not bet money that Campbell leaves any time soon.

Hell yes those kids are at the top of the popularity food chain in Ames. Great stuff.

there are currently 13 players from Ohio on Michigan. So what the theory is is they won’t allow a traitor come down and get recruits but they like Harbaugh enough to get him recruits? Gotcha
