Harbaugh to NFL - The Repercussions

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.

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.

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 

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!

Hope the BMDs or collectives had worked some back channels here - we might be able get a player or two in for a visit this weekend (assuming Minter is gone)

I'm literally on my hands and knees praying for Brian Kelly's phone to be ringing from a call from Ann Arbor right now.

Is is more probable for Michigan to go after Brian Kelly? or for Michigan to promote someone within their own ranks to HC? Typically, it's an OC or DC that gets a head coaching promotion, and never anyone else on the staff, but I would expect Harbaugh to take with him both his DC and OC.

I just really want to continue to see LSU take hits after their abysmal 2023 season (though they had the Heisman winner, who was the most forgettable winner in recent memory), Brian Kelly's departure from Baton Rouge, and uncertainty for the coming seasons, would mean further recruiting growth and expansion by Texas in the state of Louisiana and east Texas.

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

Not really, but I'm praying for a snowball effect to occur should Michigan decide to reach out to Brian Kelly to offer him the HC position in Ann Arbor.
Kelly's departure from LSU would be the real win for Texas, seeing that LSU is one of the major recruiting players in the states of Texas and Louisiana, Brian Kelly leaving Baton Rouge would once again throw LSU into a bit of an uncertain period, which would mean one or two of their key players might decide to enter the portal as well as 2025 and 2026 recruits leaning to LSU would now open up their recruitment.
