Michigan working on "lifetime contract" with Harbaugh

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

Michigan is apparently pulling out the nuclear option to stop those Harbaugh to NFL rumors, creating something that's never existed before:

Worked really well for the Mets

I have absolutely 0 concerns about locking Harbaugh up. It would actually be a bit of a relief and dispel some of the NFL rumors every single year. It would also show 100% support in Harbaugh.

Will this mean a lifetime of finishing 3rd or worst in the B1G East?

Anything to stop this stupid shit:

Dude is a proven winner at every level. He was 8-4 in his third year at Stanford and they extended him three years after that season which paid major dividends. He's competitive and wants to win and although he hasn't won this division yet lets keep in mind this is the best division in all football. I would give him a chance for sure even though he's kind of a D bag sometimes but he has the track record.

ND had zero concerns about locking Weis down for 10 years too, until they did

Michigan’s 2017 has gone pretty much as expected, btw

"if Michigan does lose a couple of late games and keep the “Never better than third in the Big Ten East!” meme alive, you should get your laughs in while you can. Because this program is probably a year away from ignition."

They should have. He had no previous head coaching experience and was just two years into his time at ND.

Lol why the hell would Harbaugh leave Michigan for UCLA? That has to be the dumbest speculative rumor I've ever heard.

 

[PIBuckeye]

Yea, thats a great strategy..... bet the farm..........

I've heard that michigan college is supposed to be home to intellectuals......... hmm.

That's great and all. Only thing the author is overlooking is the fact Michigan State and Ohio State are still pretty young too.

Harbaugh is 3 years in and has never won te significant game. Ohio State had that guy. John Cooper. You don't want John Cooper. Harbaugh hasn't proven worthy of a lifetime contract

I was saying that in jest. This is a good thing for you guys because the alternative would definitely be a big downgrade.

If you say so. He beat the shit out of the B10 champ last year. And has immediately made Michigan competitive with OSU and MSU from year 1. And despite the arguments one way or another is a freak of nature play and personal opinion call away from being 2-1 vs. MSU and 1-1 vs. OSU.

I wouldn't even give Jesus Christ himself a lifetime contract. Usually it's a very bad business move, I guess we will see what the clauses and stipulations are tho if this is even real.

As of now, Harbaugh is just another Bo Pelini.

Can you imagine if Nebraska had given Pelini a lifetime contract after 3 years?

There are only 4 coaches ever that I would consider offering a "lifetime" contract to (whatever the hell that means), and 3 if them are already dead:

-Paul Brown
-Chuck Noll
-Bill Walsh
-Bill Belichick
