Quote:I don\'t mean to create more gossip or speculation. I\'m not even bold enough to say Harbaugh would take the job at Michigan. Stanford is a great program, great university and Palo Alto does have nicer weather than Ann Arbor, MI.
But I must say alot of Michigan fans are making rumblings about trying to get Harbaugh. I\'d like to see Rodriguez succeed at Michigan at the same time I would like to see Harbaugh continue to succeed at Stanford. Should be interesting to see what happens in the next year at Michigan. I doubt we\'ll get rid of Rodriguez this season unless we get totally embarrassed in the bowl game. If we can\'t compete with the good teams on our schedule next year I don\'t see them not making a coaching change.
As a Michigan alum who\'s dream school was Stanford I hope to see success for both programs. Go Cardinal!
...I just don\'t see Harbaugh stepping down to take a lesser (or at best, a lateral) position like HC of Michigan. Â These aren\'t the Schembechler days...many teams finished ahead of Michigan in the Big 10 this year, and the UM fans sound a biiiiiiiiiiit like the UND fans. Â How would you like 100,000 ungrateful fans calling for your head?
He\'s 11-1 at Stanford, which was 1-11 the year before he got here. Â He\'s making decent coin. Â If he wanted the bigger challenge, Michigan isn\'t it. Â If he wins at Michigan, well, it\'s Michigan. Â If he loses at Michigan, it\'s another failed Pac-10 coach.
If Harbaugh leaves, I hope he ends up with the 49ers. Â I hope Jed York has him on speed dial and is sending him flowers and candy regularly. Â That\'s where the big challenge, the big respect and the big money is.
