What’s the hold up then on the
Michigan side? The sooner they offer him a fat extension, the sooner all talk of him leaving dissipates. It’s not like they are waiting to see what happens in the playoff before they decide if they want tot keep him or not. It’s certainly not like Michigan doesn’t have the money to pay him.
I wonder what is really happening behind the scenes. Who knows, because he’s such a strange cat, maybe Harbaugh is the one slow playing it. Maybe Warde secretly loves Gattis or Hart and wants them to get the job. Maybe Harbaugh wants to go to the. NFL for a new challenge now that he’s got UM back. Maybe some segment of all of the above is true or maybe none of it is. Who knows. This is what online message boards are for. What I do know is that he’s going to be a hot commodity in the NFL.
The playoff result doesn’t matter. Speculation will be strong until he signs a large extension from UM. He was on a prove it contract and he proved it Time for UM to step up or lose him. All the sentimentality for his alma mater won’t make up for the disrespect if they don’t make him one of the top paid coaches in the country.
I also can’t think of a reason why Harbaugh shouldn’t be the Bears top candidate. He’s an ideal fit for them.
I really like both players. Stingley looked like he could’ve been a top pick as a true freshman had he been draft eligible. He’s light years ahead of where Okudah was when Quinn took him. Hamilton is the stud safety that they need badly but need to see the medicals on his season ending injury.
Interested to take a look at Tua and the Dolphins tonight. Not sure what to make of them. They’ve won 6 in a row but they played Giants, Panthers, Texans, Jags, and Jets 2x. Talk about an advantageous schedule.
I haven’t looked so I could be dead wrong but I assume since only the top seed gets a bye that the Packers will have something to play for up until the end.
I think that used to be true but that’s changed with all the advances in tech. Everyone has a tablet loaded with specialized video software developed for football. They all watch endless tape on teams they play and in doing so they see all the other teams they’ve played. I just saw something on Hard Knocks Indy (which is the best of the series btw) where Darius Leonard watched every run play the Pats ran all season to prep for them. He ended up watching 14 games worth of film just for one game.
Fans make up for only 1/3 of the vote. Players and coaches make up the other 2/3.
I know you are stubborn but wouldnt it just be easier to say hats off to Nino. He proved me wrong and giving him away for a 7th was one of the worst deals of the Quintricia era. We can call it a Christmas miracle that you admitted you were weren’t right on something.
Right. Which makes it completely subjective.
I can’t imagine how many self-trained amateur scouts they must use to go through every play for every player in the league. They can try to get some commonality among them but it’s impossible. They also are assuming what the intended play call and assignment is for each player. Every play they make the decision on if a player did their job when they dont really know the exact assignment. How does that work. Another factor is they cant effectively account for who the individual opponent is on a play. An example of a guy like Amani 24 covering Justin Jefferson is much different than an AJ Parker on the other side covering KJ Osborn. Yet at the end of the game they line their pff numbers up together and rank them against their teammates as if everything was equal. It’s not and it really can’t be quantified in that system.
I don’t think pff numbers are compete trash. I think they have some value but they can’t sit on their own as a way to measure how good someone is a player.
Careful putting too much weight into pff rankings. They are sus. Do you have any idea what type of formulas they use and how they even come up with their rankings?
Don’t forget about your boys Diggs and Slay. Looks like Q with the back to back pro bowls wasn’t as washed as you thought when we traded him. Can’t go back and look on Slay but I’ll give you the benefit that it was mainly the money he wanted and not his skills you were dogging when they traded him.
That is still a better alternative than not getting a chance to play and being forced to forfeit.
The first choice should be to postpone a week. Awarding a title or even a spot in the final via cancellation is a nuclear option and should be off the table.
I’m shocked. I wonder if their TV partners and corporate sponsors as still going to pay the committee tens of millions of dollars if they don’t play these games. I’m guessing these folks have a very different view of the lengths they should go to try and play.
It would take something monumental for the powers that be in college football to postpone this game.
There is some behind the scenes drama going on. He was the starter and was injured and rumor is that the family and coaching staff had a different view on when he was ready to play. Word is that Kirby chose to just wash his hands of the situation and go with Stetson Bennett.
