You would take him as your Coach in a heartbeat...the hatred for Harbaugh here is really based from envy.
Amazingly, we have no threads about Franklin. I guess that will happen in late September.
To stay on topic here, I think that salaries across sports are becoming insane. This year's NBA free agent frenzy was absolutely bonkers, with mediocre players getting huge contracts. I haven't quite figured out when that bubble will burst, but I imagine it will be at a point where fans just can't afford to go to games.
Now that is a great post. Multiple parentheses, ALL CAPS, rambling off topic, irony.... Really doesn't get much better than this. "IN OTHER WORDS", pure BODE craziness.
I haven't really gotten too much into it, but it's not $9M per year, I think it averages out to like $7M, but $2M of that is this life insurance loan thing, which gets paid back to the university. I haven't looked more into it than that, but it's a strange approach to compensation.
I think a 10-3 campaign in season 1 with hopes for a better year in season 2 shows a pretty good ability to represent his employer. He gets paid to win football games, not win the hearts of psychos like yourself.
No Michigan coach is going to survive a bunch of losses to OSU. He's got his work cut out for him there, since Meyer had the head start, but he will be expected to win those games.
Agreed, I think we're getting closer with guys like Peppers and Gary, along with Peters and McCaffery at QB, and the bevy of 5 stars we're in on (obviously won't land them all, but have a good chance to land a few) but as I said before, we're playing catch-up right now.
Yeah he's technically a redshirt sophomore this year, but as far as draft eligibility, he's a junior. If he has a monster year, I can see him going. Sucks to only get 2 years out of him, but the man is a beast and I wouldn't blame him for going pro. Early returns on Rashan Gary are very positive. Another monster, and one that Rivals analysts consider one of the best prospects they've ever rated.
Ah, yes, sorry, it wasn't meant as a dig.
A couple guys who formerly worked for The Wolverine were not very high on him. Their biggest problem was his size, but every once in a while you're going to come across a Bob Sanders or Troy Polamalu type player where size is not holding them back. He still has to prove he can do it, but he definitely has a nose for the football.
I'm sorry, the acronym "LMFAO" is reserved for children under the age of 12. Please choose adult words.
Run out? It is a fact that LC wanted to retire a year earlier than he did but the AD convinced him to stay for one more season. Love how some of you read a headline or message board post and pass it along as fact.
Uninformed post.
With all due respect, GoM&B, my daughter was a student at Penn State during Vickey's reign of terror. The students hated her. She muzzled dissent by censoring the student radio station. She also ran a kangaroo court, where students could accept punishment without a hearing, or worse punishment if they wanted that hearing.
I'm not doubting that she was crazy or mean or anything, but this is precisely how courts in the US work, hence the term "plea deal." Not sure what makes that a kangaroo court.
There would be a predetermined outcome BEFORE a student had even a hearing. Students were presumed guilty. You like that?
All of that very well may be true. I have no reason to doubt it. But I think my point still stands in that Paterno wasn't up front with the public at times. That seems to be backed by triponey, curly and paterno's own words.
That idiot is a total embarrassment to the university, and the fan base.
I said he was a great coach for 3 seasons and then his personality starts alienate everyone around him.
This is a remarkable post. So let me get this straight...Penn State is a more upstanding institution than the University of Michigan? As a Michigan Law School grad, I am pretty comfortable saying we pride ourselves on winning the right way. Do I know anything about college football? LOL Do you know anything period?
