Harbaugh to NFL - The Repercussions

By Bobby Burton

· 5065 views

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.

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

    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.
