romad1 Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 My biggest concern with the current wild west NIL situation is this that the gambling element is way too big in all this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's about being superior - I think Harbaugh may want to try to win at the next level again. I think he sees it as a challenge.

romad1 Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 The departure of Schissell seems oddly timed with the departure of Las Vegas Raiders from the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the Board of Regents care nearly enough about football (relative to billions of dollars in ongoing university operations) to nefariously time something like that. I think a more reasonable theoretical relation between Schlissel and Harbaugh is that if Warde Manual knew there was writing on the wall for Schlissel being ousted, it's possible he and Harbaugh agreed to not finalize anything until MSC was re-installed, so that a disgraced lame duck wasn't signing off on a mega-deal.

Or they are just not in any hurry. Interestingly enough, straightening out the Athletic dept has been a major success under Schlissel, notwithstanding that he seemed to have little or no interest in it.

Yep...........Harbaugh would probably only go to the NFL if he had player personnel control. The next 48 hours will be very interesting.

romad1 Posted January 18, 2022 Author Share Posted January 18, 2022 MCS and G2 both of you are in A2 or have some links to the town. Do people think he's leaving? My own network seem to think he's staying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My own network seem to think he's staying. Harbaugh dances to a tune only he can hear. I don't know whether he is staying or going but I can probably guarantee none of the talking heads out there have any real idea either. I tend to think he stays. I think to Harbaugh, MI feels like his place in the world. Now if something drastic happened - like a situation where the regents or admin put MI in some kind of untenable competitive situation where he just didn't want to coach anymore - sure I could see him leaving, but I don't think the possibility of that, while real, is more than tiny.
