Bobby Burton Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Jim Harbaugh is headed back to the NFL. What does that mean to the University of Texas? Well, just like when Nick Saban retired, players of the coach's former school, Michigan, now have 30 days to enter the NCAA transfer portal. There are a multitude of players on the Michigan roster that Texas would likely have interest in, including defensive tackle Mason Graham and cornerback Will Johnson. However, neither player has openly mentioned leaving Ann Arbor following the national title win. For right now, it is almost entirely conjecture. However, in the coming days, we'll see if many Michigan players enter the portal and if the Horns are truly interested in any of them.

Park Gothic Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 It seems likely that Harbaugh will take DC Jesse Minter with him and that OC Sherrone Moore will get promoted. Suggests we'll have better luck pulling some guys from the defense while the offense may stay mostly intact. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syracusehorn Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) I think we'll see less movement than we saw at Bama. They could retain most of their staff and players if they elevate Moore to HC, which they will probably do.

goattalk100 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 My pure dream fantasy domino effect with Harbaugh to the NFL: 1. Mason Graham & Will Johnson enter the portal, visit Texas together immediately & walk out of the visit with a commitment from both. 2. Brian Kelly accepts the Michigan head coaching job. 3. Harold Perkins enters the portal, visits & commits to Texas. 4. Harlem Berry & Dakorien Moore decommit from LSU & end up in our 2025 class. One can hope 😂 7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas fan in Georgia Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Do they have any Texas kids on the roster by chance ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Burton Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 Michigan was willing to pay Harbaugh $12-13m. Are they really going to offer Moore $5mm? Interesting conundrum there for the UM brass. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachhorn Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Will also be interesting to see if UM tries to pull any assistant coaches from other programs (ours included) that could effect players on other rosters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators CJ Vogel Posted January 25 Moderators Share Posted January 25 5 minutes ago, Texas fan in Georgia said: Do they have any Texas kids on the roster by chance ? Michigan really isn't too active in the state. They do have Ike Iwunnah from Garland that is on the DL. RB Tavierre Dunlap was a depth piece, he's from Del Valle. Freshman Enow Etta might be an intriguing piece. Originally from Keller. Came in at 6-foot-5 and 295 lbs this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas fan in Georgia Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Pete thamel reporting Moore is the favorite but some other names of interest to watch would be lance leipold, Matt rhule, like fickell and Chris keilman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadhead_Horn Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I would feel different if this was happening to Texas and would have already probably had a nervous breakdown, but coaches leaving and the mad dash to the portal/chase for teams like Texas, Oregon, etc., etc. is fun as heck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasLonghorns Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Just out of curiosity, what’s the job posting stipulations and guidelines for Texas? Michigan has a 7 day posting policy and that very well could cause them to lose a lot of players. Incredibly dumb rule and hope that never comes to bite us 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Edwards Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Moore may keep the current roster, but he doesn't seem to have the gravitas for the media, donors, and the long haul. He's loyal but is he going to inspire the $, and is he up beating Ohio State after Harbaugh leaves and the sanctions come rolling in! Much recruit on reduced visits, and perhaps less scholarships, too! This is not the job it was 18 months ago before Jim decided to go this year rather than last year or the last year before when he said never again. Oh yeah, I remember when. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But remember Herman was fired and Texas announced that Sark had been hired a day later. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
