Everyone says that! I like Bates but we'll see how this plays out. Schissel doesn't seem likely to coug this.

A brief update of what I've been seeing in various places. The AD search will be slow. They are still getting the search committee together and there are no signs that they intend to offer anyone before the end of the year, maybe much later than that. It looks like Jim Hackett will be doing any firing and hiring of coaches. This seems ominous unless the skids are already greased and the decisions will be straightforward. All reports are that Hackett is truly an interim and is not in consideration for the permanent post. Related to that, John U. claimed in a radio interview this morning that the next coach will be a familiar name, one that is part of everybody's list of top candidates. He has lots of inside info, but also added that it was a "gut feeling" - which may be true or may be a cover for a source. Who the hell knows.

U-M is going after Harbaugh, which means they have to wait until January for the Niners season to end. If they don't get him then I think there's a very real chance Hoke comes back due to the timing.

That is so stupid, and proof positive that nothing has changed. Just hire Mullen and start counting your Rose Bowls.

I feel like these Harbaugh rumors are the Michigan version of Saban to Texas talk last year. In that while it hypothetically makes a grain of sense, it's almost definitely not gonna happen. And when you list the dozen reasons it makes no sense, fans with a way inflated sense of the value of their school's brand/allure just twitch and mutter "Michigan Man". Although as a Sparty fan I am really enamored of the idea that Michigan is going to wait until SF bows out of the playoffs before being turned down by Harbaugh. Another year of Hoke would be pretty excellent.

An interim AD with zero experience is going to make the firing/hiring decisions, how could that miss? EDIT - They'd never hire Mullen, even if he were interested. He'd just get chewed up and spit out Rich Rod style. Karmalaa70 fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Nov 21, 2014 |

Interim AD Jim Hackett says he'll be the one to decide Hoke's future. So basically have Hackett fire him and have the new AD hire the new guy I guess. Holy lol if Hackett is the one to make the new hire.

I hope they have a top-notch search committee and Hackett's only involvement is to rubber-stamp their choice. Otherwise I'd rather keep Hoke for a year and let the new AD replace him.

Unless they're keeping things impossibly quiet, Hackett's going to be firing Hoke and hiring the next coach. A couple days ago I thought Hoke might get another year after the Harbaugh hail mary fails, but I don't think that's going to happen after a 5-7 season (I was assuming they'd beat Maryland at home and make a poo poo bowl). Letting an interim with no experience make this hire seems insane on the surface, so I'm guessing/hoping that Hackett has some prior relationship with Harbaugh and/or Miles. Or maybe the U-M administration is really just galactically incompetent and incapable of learning from previous fuckups.

It would be the exact same thing as if Dave Brandon hired the new guy before he was canned.

Bacon (seems absurd to type his full name out but just saying Bacon is also weird) was on the radio Friday saying there was no chance it'd be an outside hire, so...yeah. Inbreeding is the name of the game at U-M. It'd be the most Michigan thing ever to hire Les Miles now, 7 years too late and having let the program go to poo poo, all because he wasn't Lloyd Carr approved. EDIT - Hackett is almost surely going to be the full time AD. I think they're waiting until after the coaching firing/hiring to announce his status. No one will care if he actually makes a good hire, but there'll be some great meltdowns with another steamer. I also will never understand why U-M doesn't understand that having an AD who has had that job before is a GOOD thing. Karmalaa70 fucked around with this message at 15:11 on Nov 24, 2014 |

I'd always understood that Les Miles basically laughed them out of his office when they tried to get him after Rich Rod and used it to get a big raise. E: Unless you meant they chased him right after the Carr firing, which I don't know if they did.

I walked in here with this notion and nothing’s changed my mind, and it begins with we stand in service of others. The job of a leader is to help people who want to achieve more, to be there for them, to support them. I’m a big believer in very thoughtful approaches to problems plus a mix of doing them, so it’s not only about getting things done but it’s about being really thoughtful. You heard more than an inference that I believe you’ve got to align yourself around the most competitive set in the world. We compete in our product with other kinds of institutions around the world- around the country, sorry, and to have the highest sense of acuity of what does it takes to compete, to make our fans so delighted, to make our alums so proud, to make the student-athletes believe that this is the best place in the world and on and on is really important. To have that acuity and help rationalize that is the part of leadership.” I do not want a guy who talks like that running the athletic department or hiring coaches.

At least he didn't say RETAIL ACTIVATION, so it's a minor step up from Big Dave Brandon. Michigan is like the only place where experience is apparently a negative when applying for a job.
