I think Beane should give him an extension, tonight

QB throwing competition - Russ Wilson 29, McCorkle 8 😜

dear stef,

He’s such a weird, awkward guy. I’m guessing that the new GM requested he be in the interview process having worked with him in SF. The Vikes said ok and probably though he had a decent chance of being selected based on his nfl record. Then they met him. Meanwhile the guy from the Rams is probably prepared for an actual interview with binders, analytics, and his first 50 plays he would run in the super bowl. harbaugh, after first asking who his secretary will be and what kind of private jet access he will get : “did you know chickens are nervous birds?”

So is Josh a Kyle Williams level golfer or… just wondering how he got selected

Wait we aren’t getting Ertz? 😫

I actually think he’s a decent Xs and Os coach. I’m glad he’s staying because the rivalry had juice again. He kicked Ohio state’s ass. He talked trash to Ryan Day. If he had left it would have taken something away from this years game. But it did feel like both parties were kind of ready to move on but can’t. Good luck except for The Game.

I’m glad he’s back too. But his heart is clearly in the NFL. He doesn’t want to be there, he’s stuck. I’m not sure the program is going to improve from here with him at the helm. They lost all that momentum they had after winning the Big Ten. It feels like he and Ward Manuel both want a divorce but are staying together for lack of options. Gattis and Hart deserve some kind of award for their recruiting through this. I just think Michigan fans who have supported this guy through all the years where he didn’t win anything, deserve better.

Are you glad he’s back or did you want Gattis/Hart/someone else?

This is like when Michael Scott thought he had the job with corporate, and told everyone he was leaving and then had to come back to Scranton and pretend he was joking the whole time.

As Paul Finebaum said today, this guy could screw up a 1 car funeral.

He wanted the Vikings job. He didn’t get it.

Harbaugh didn’t withdraw, he wasn’t offered the job. They offered it to O’Connell. They interviewed all of these guys for 9 hours each in person. The optics don’t look good because he’s an inexperienced white guy, but if they think he’s the best candidate, it is what it is. The GM is a minority so there’s that.

Reality wise Michigan has one of the weakest schedules in college football next year. Their out of conference games are Colorado State, Hawaii, and UConn. they should fall into 10 wins again and his name will be in the mix once more for NFL jobs next year. Rivalry wins, conference championships, playoffs, bowl wins etc are important to cfb fans as a measure of success but the nfl will continue to lean on what he did when he was there.
