Jim Harbaugh stuns us all by announcing his return to Michigan. Serena and Matt talk about his return, piece together the timeline, our states of panic (or lack thereof) and where things stand now.
- Putting together the timeline
- Balas' report sends the drama into overdrive
- Serena thought this was a done deal and spent last night coping like she just got dumped.
- Matt remains skeptical as always
- Who said no to whom?
- Discussion of other candidates is moot, thank goodness because we weren't sold on any of them
- Talk of firing Harbaugh should have been fired for taking this long nonsense for a lot of reasons: 1) the optics are terrible to your employees in the athletic department coming off of Covid layoffs and salary cuts; 2) sending a message to a future coaching candidate that Michigan is willing to oust a coach for even looking at another job is crazy
- We want coaches to feel a weird amount of loyalty to their employers. They're not fans. Its their job
- Still need a DC
- Let the younger guys on the staff marinate and grow in their roles
