Harbaugh to NFL - The Repercussions

By Bobby Burton

· 5072 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 understand keeping Moore for transition purposes but do you really want an unproven coach leading the team that just won’t the NC? I know it’s not a popular opinion but I would try and go get a bigger name or a coach with more skins on the wall. 

    I'm with you on this.

    Gotta think the academic calendar is gonna limit movement from Michigan.  Kids are 2 weeks into classes and have one week to add/drop into classes they've missed 2 weeks of.  That's a rough move unless you've already secretly made the deal and been working on the schedule.

    My thoughts exactly. Maybe a UTSA or a NMSU does this (promote an assistant coach to the head coaching position without much thought), but being one of the biggest brands in all of collegiate sports, Michigan would be stupid to quickly shoe in Moore without interviewing other big names around the country.

    oh yeah, I'm not shy to say Rodney Terry was an emotional hire coming off of an Elite Eight appearance with Chris Beard's team.

    We should have spent ANY amount of time looking around for another coach at the very least.

    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 😂

    I love your dream.
