Harbaugh to NFL - The Repercussions

Most recent Michigan Depth Chart:

https://www.ourlads.com/ncaa-football-depth-charts/depth-chart/michigan/91119

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. 

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.

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 😂

Do they have any Texas kids on the roster by chance ?

None of major consequence.

But they have several defensive players who could be immediate guys for Texas, as well as some of their back ups on the DL.

Michigan was willing to pay Harbaugh $12-13m. Are they really going to offer Moore $5mm?

Interesting conundrum there for the UM brass.

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.

Gotta also wonder if their is any truth to the apparent demands harbaugh was asking from Michigan concerning immunity

You are officially invited to join the Wednesday night OTF Livestream, because I know you want to talk about this. Or have you already gone live? 🤣

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.

Wow. He and the Jackson kid could be a force

Who’s their DL coach?

Mike Elston. The only tie I know of that he has to Sark/Texas is that Elston and Terry Joseph worked together at Notre Dame for Brian Kelly.

I don’t know a lot about him, would he be a good fit at Texas?

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 

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.

I only know of his work and people who have worked with him, not him personally.

He's considered one of the nation's best DL coaches.

If Michigan promotes Moore not sure we see a lot of roster fall out. 

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

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.

Texas something similar. But remember Herman was fired and Texas announced that Sark had been hired a day later.

Harbaugh is smart. He knew that this would happen late today that most schools drop add is next week. He planned this. 7 days out is the 31st. We're out of luck for this semester. Signal stealer strikes again!
