Farking idiots are employed in the Meatchicken Athletic Department.

I get that he’s 0-5 against OSU but 49-22 over 5 years isnt bad and it’s not like there are many home run options available. Probably giving him another year is their best option.

Looks like it actually lowers the buyout. So not the worst thing really

 

[Firebirdparts]

I’d do the same. Lots of ways to get worse, and not so many ways to get better.

No brainer. Don't get rid of a Harbaugh.

Michigan Believes Harbaugh Extension Close, Ohio State Hopes It's True – OutKick

Jim Harbaugh is currently 0-5 against Ohio State, 3-3 against Michigan State, 1-4 in bowl games, and 1-8 against top 10 teams.



Best option? Really?

There are a lot of reports coming out of Detroit that he is the number one target to take over the Lions. I think that would be a better fit for Harbaugh.

The Lions could do Meatchicken a big favor.

He’s just gotta get a qB. If he does, they’re a lot better.

sounds familiar.....

Maybe but our guy might have a good QB and not realize it

Obviously they have accepted being at least second fiddle to OSU.

I don't think UM is even second fiddle to OSU in the Big10. I would put Wisconsin ahead of them by quite a bit. They have huge problems on both sides of the ball. Maybe most concerning, they have virtually quit recruiting in Ohio - that makes no sense at all to me.

Not recruiting or not recruiting well? Idk

Have apparently given up in NE Ohio - Cleveland area according to HS coaches there.

That would be why I said at least!

UM being smart here - give him an extension at equal or slightly higher pay to drop a TON out of the buyout number.
Fans are apathetic at this point so they don't really care of he sticks around another year.
Also, much like Tennessee the brand is bigger than the program and will generate revenue on its own.

Drop him next year with little to no buyout and have a BOATLOAD of cash to offer.
Could we see a new record for highest paid coach in college ???

The only reason he didn't get a buckeye beat down this year was Covid saved him.

Maybe they plan to run the "wishbone"???

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

Harbaugh back......at half pay

 

[orangelo]

Well at least we aren’t the only program in the country that is willing to accept mediocrity... at best.

Jim Harbaugh's new Michigan football contract makes him among lowest paid in Big Ten

 

[BeecherVol]

They paid him elite $.
They got good, not elite results.

Instead of letting him go or the NFL stepping in, he stays for less.

Interesting situation.
I'm curious if this makes it easier for him to leave or be fired in the future.

Who the hell pays $2mill/yr on a life insurance policy?

That includes a $2 million annual life insurance premium as long as he was coach by Dec. 6, 2020.
