When it comes to michigan football, yeah, he's a ****ing nobody.

Seriously do you really think your advisory board will report another failure? How does the Kool-Aid taste lemmings?

haha

Normally I would say this is just poor trolling but I've unfortunately actually read most of this dude's terrible posts over the years. He's dead serious.

Now this is a real post!!

Agreed that he might not have had a source inside your program - but he might have had one on the other side. In between his ramblings Cowherd has been saying there would be a A-/B+ level coach offered the job this week. maybe this was the one.

Thanks for the read nose. Funny how anyone that isn't spewing the same nonsense you all expound isn't relevant. Maybe the answer is to get your circle jerk threads to be invitation only.

Cowherd also said there would a big hire last
weekend. No one knows ****.

Michigan fans, the names I hear are encouraging. I am not teasing you. Although his names rhymes w Till Zellicheck.

There is certainly someone spewing nonsense all over the place, sorry we didn't hold your hand through all the proceedings this morning.

Why would he need a source inside Michigan? If they reached out to Cutcliffe, there are plenty of people around him that could have leaked the info. During coaching searches, almost all of the credible info comes from the other side. Look at Nebraska, they didn't have a clue about Mike Riley. The first guys to report Riley to Nebraska were the national guys. As an Arkansas fan, we have had our share of coaching searches in the last few years. Our last three coaches we hired, Petrino, Smith, and Bielema, the national guys were the ones that broke the news first and our local guys didn't have a clue. Unless it is a situation like Florida and McElwain where there is a clear target, more than likely your Michigan people don't know anything outside of Harbaugh.

Sigh the first guys is bull****. The national guys were also first to Jim Tressel amongst a few other nonsense candidates.

Like at a real basic level, do you really think that Michigan offered Duke guy before getting an answer from Harbaugh? If not, then you should familiarize yourself with actual Michigan sources, guys with a long track record of success, that say he's the first choice and there's no answer yet.

The only possible thing that happened with Cutcliffe was some preliminary interest gauging as a backup candidate. There's 0 chance he was offered the job.

Lot of anger ITT suddenly.

FAA has issued a lawnmower warning

If I were Cutcliffe I would be pissed, ol geezer Gil Brandt just took away a bunch of leverage to get a raise out of Dook

The biggest reason not to believe Grant is that there's plenty of people like Webb, Brian Cook, etc that we know ARE very connected and would know. When some random dude is reporting something that doesn't make much sense, and nobody in touch is- that should weight your skepticism pretty heavily.

Just feels like another agent trying to get paid leveraging the fact that Michigan is chilling and waiting.

He's a pretty bad agent if that's the case.

Michigan's Scout.com guy, Sam Webb, is as well-sourced as anyone can possibly be in terms of Michigan football. He nailed the RR hire, Beilein hire, Hoke hire, and Hoke firing. A big part of that is that he reports responsibly and he even sits on stories out of respect for his sources, like he did with Hoke being fired. He went to school with Michigan's long-time RB coach and he is good friends with many former players who are involved in the program. There have never any big surprises when it comes to major Michigan football news, and Sam Webb is a big reason why.

Meanwhile (re: bolded), you have coaches' agents putting out stories that they are being contacted by Michigan, Florida, etc. They then get raises and extensions. There may be some truth to these coaches being contacted, but their agents have every reason to embellish or outright lie about the nature of that contact. This **** happens during every big coaching search, it's not something specific to Michigan.

Can't wait for Michigan to hire Chan Gailey.

"Ikieboy?" "Momma's basement boy?" You are easily in the bottom 1% of posters on this forum, ainec.

Yeah, because knowing who Gil ****ing Brandt is sets the bar for intelligence.

Cutcliffe seems like the type that would turn down Michigan so Michigan should be glad they didn't actually offer.

Shocking

Who's Chris Mortensen?

Is that a real question? Don't know you well enough to gauge if serious.

Chris Mortensen is a real person so it checks out.
