A CBS reporter tweeted that Michigan is offering Jim Harbaugh $49 million for six years. That would make him the highest paid coach in college or the NFL.
 
He should not have been granted that discretionary time out. He was such a cry baby about it and would never have got that little flick play to his FB off under todays rules. Oh and Halverson's TD would count today also. Iowa would beat Michigan 16-6 assuming they would have let the time run out on the final drive.

While all of that is true, the ending of that game is such a special memory, would anyone really want to take that all away for a 10 pt snoozer? The point is that Iowa still won. The ultimate margin of victory is completely irrelevant. If had my choice, I'd take Houghtlin hunched over in prayer, all by his lonesome in the middle of the field, followed by the stands erupting in mass chaos, over any other possible outcome from that game.

Nick Saban and all college fb coaches have to be smiling about that deal because all it does is drive up the $$$$$$ that colleges will have to pay for "top" coaches. What KF is making now will be an avg salary in 10 years. I would like to see Harbaugh come back and give Urban a run for his money in his division.

Michigan's AD may not only screw up the economics of their football program. It could escalate salaries beyond a sustainable level.

If this happens...it could have a domino affect that nudges things toward a POWER 5 division, and an enhanced FCS picking up the Mid Majors. Ultimate end game: real playoffs for both.
 
WOrth it. Every recruit will want to play for him.

Seriously? I don't see why kids would want to play for him at all. He's a bit toward Kirk Ferentz in terms of a boring offense and he's a giant pr¡ck personality-wise. I don't see much of an up side to him at all.

Yeah, sounds like some dude named Schembechler. How did he do?

Harbaugh will win big at Michigan

LOL. Comparing Harbaugh to Schembechler is ********. He's going to flame out there just like he did with the 49ers. His fire might burn hot for a year or two but then it's over. Just like in San Francisco.

Were you living under a rock for the four years prior to his arrival in SF? The dude made Stanford one of the nation's best programs. His act might wear thin on NFL players making millions, but it works perfectly fine at the college level. If Michigan lands him, then Michigan will be back to being Michigan within 3 years. Book it.

I agree with this, but I won't be surprised if it happens in 2 if he takes the job. Personally, I don't think he'll end up in Michigan. I think some NFL team will match or beat that offer and he won't have to deal with the Michigan alumni. Not sure if I want it to be my Falcons or not, but Arthur Blank can afford him if he wants him.

Exactly.
 
its a schtick by a grownd up man. He goes out of character though... see below...



Some say the NFL is The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league that constitutes one of the four major professional sports leagues in North America. It is composed of 32 teams divided equally between the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). The highest professional level of the sport in the world,[SUP][4][/SUP] the NFL runs a 17-week regular season from the week after Labor Day to the week after Christmas, with each team playing sixteen games and having one bye week each season. Out of the league's 32 teams, six (four division winners and two wild-card teams) from each conference compete in the NFL playoffs, a single-elimination tournament culminating in the Super Bowl, played between the champions of the NFC and AFC.

IF HE WERE TRUE TO FORM - it would read something more like this

In the super bowl champions of the NFC and AFC go against each other.

Not sure about this.

Harbaugh has proven to be a successful coach at the highest level. Led his team to the doorstep of the SuperBowl with Alex Smith as his starting QB which is a minor miracle, then had the guts to bench him for a better but unproven QB the next season. Schembechler never even got into that league, let alone was successful there.

His "flame out" in SF is due more to the fact that the 49ers front office is too arrogant to figure out how good of a coach he is.

I think Harbaugh will stay in the NFL, I'm guessing Raiders or Bears next year. He is a control freak with means the college game would be better for him though. He will have a hard time finding a coaching job in the NFL that comes with management control. In college the head coach controls everything including his own AD.

I think he would be similar to Saban in the college game. His schemes and ideas would be miles ahead of most college coaches.
