And who from the Bears would be running that campaign at the moment? Is Pace going to survive? Would Harbaugh want to coach there if Pace is GM?
Seems logical that both are true- Harbaugh has some level of interest in the NFL, and making this known benefits him regardless the outcome
He 100% did which is something a lot of Michigan fans forget. Although most Michigan alums don’t really like discussing Bo anymore I still think the OSU connection would be harder to sell now.
They would take FIckell in a heartbeat. 10 years ago? Maybe not but now they've seen what a long duration of ****** football looks like.
They wouldn’t take him in a heartbeat at all. As much **** as harbaugh gets he still has 4 ten win (or more) seasons at Michigan with another 9 win season thrown in. So it’s not really been **** football they have just struggled against rivals. Fickel was the coach at OSU for one of Michigan’s 2 wins in the last 17 years and has no other experience at a power 5 university. They have and would still take CMC over fickel.
You have to be just looking for trouble. They won't take a guy that has made the playoffs over one that has won 3, 8, 8, 7, 9, and 7 games?
I’ve never once heard fickels name come up in connection to Michigan from anyone important. Could that have changed sure but haven’t heard it before. A lot of coaches have had a bunch of success at cinci, doesn’t take much to put up wins at a non power 5 school. I would argue that CMC making Iowa state competitive in a power conference is more impressive.
Initially it was just for conference realignment talk. Then I thought we might lose CMT so I was paying attention to how the football team looked with CMC. After that I just kinda liked your board and a lot of the posters here. Plus I went to both MSU and Michigan so the potential for CMC at Michigan is intriguing.
I believe the Chiefs hired Reid before hiring the GM(if I remember right), so I’d assume the team owner. They are likely waiting for the season to end before firing/hiring anyone.
No they wouldn't. You don't know what you're talking about.
Fickell, on the other hand, will NEVER entertain the Michigan job.
There’s nothing impressive about going 7-6 with this year’s Iowa St team.
Fickell would be ahead of CMC, although I’m not sure he’d take it. It’s a good thing Michigan St got Dantonio when they did. It probably doesn’t happen in 2022.
What CMC has done at Iowa State is far more impressive than what someone like Lincoln Riley did at Oklahoma. Literally CMC had a down year, and it’s still one of the best seasons in school history. Every coach at every college will have down years or don’t meet expectations. The recruiting classes keep getting better and the future is brighter than it’s ever been.
Pretty sure I know more about the ins and outs of Michigan then you do but we can agree to disagree. I really would be shocked if he left but he would be going out on a high note and he has never stayed anywhere for very long.
I agree that this season was a bit of a let down but what CMC has done at ISU is extremely impressive
No one is questioning whether the future is bright.
The question is whether he’s done enough to impress. Did USC not go with Riley? Oh, they did? Because taking a preseason top-10 team to 7-5 or 7-6 isn’t impressive.
Turning around a program is a skill. Michigan isn’t looking for that. And for good or bad, failing to take the next step is incriminating to most of these jobs, even if you mistakenly think little of Iowa St
