Their AD reminds me of that scene in fight club where you have to start a fight with someone and it’s surprising how hard it is to get someone to actually fight you. How is this guy not fired yet??

There was a special pizza order at a local Ann Arbor pizza place named after the staffer. Don’t pretend like people close to the program - including Desmond Howard - didn’t have a clue

Ahhh thank you - this post made my day

Despite what I said earlier, apparently AD has not been fired (yet). If they keep him, we can be confident he will continue to do the wrong thing which benefits all non-Michigan fans

Reports that Michigan AD has been fired. What a long time coming. They already have an interim University president so what coach wants to go in there with no permanent AD or president? Raining = pouring

What does the Michigan AD have to do be terminated?? Isn't it obvious that they should stay away from anyone with any ties to Harbaugh, including Minter? How much more does Harbaugh have to tell you he picks scum for his staff. Maybe if he had a murderer play tight end for him it would be so obvious... oh wait, that didn't even come up with Urban Meyer

Who wants to be a "Michigan Man"!?

DeBoer's buyout is only ~$4M

Marcus Freeman to Giants or Michigan (even though he played at OSU); Brian Kelly?? Who is even left

Looking at Harbaugh as a man who can hire those with integrity - he sure knows how to pick them: “Moore is the sixth football staffer hired as under Harbaugh who have had run-ins with police. Former offensive coordinator Matt Weiss was charged with hacking and was accused by federal prosecutors of stealing thousands of private, intimate images of student-athletes. Weiss has pled not guilty to all 24 charges he's facing. Director of football operations Jim Minick and assistant coaches Denard Robinson and Greg Scruggs were arrested for alleged DUI. Michigan's former director of performance science, Fergus Connolly, was also arrested for DUI - but was also charged with multiple felony counts of assaulting/resisting/obstructing a police officer. After being transported to a hospital, Connolly allegedly attempted to bite someone.”

Don’t forget - he also played for OU

Ya the Ohio state boards are depressed, they wanted him to stick around. A testament to his talent, him beating them a couple times aside

Maybe he will a little more subtle next time?

Ya where’s Desmond Howard’s video of him taking out the trash with a strong metaphor pointed at Moore’s conduct = trash?!?

Amen

Private equity doesn’t inherently “centralize power”; it injects capital and expertise into sectors that are underfunded, inefficient, or financially stagnant. In many industries - sports included - PE has revitalized struggling organizations, preserved jobs, modernized operations, and expanded consumer options. In sports, PE has grown leagues rather than monopolized them: Formula 1 exploded globally after Liberty Media’s investment UFC became a mainstream powerhouse after PE-backed Endeavor professionalized its operations European soccer clubs stabilized financially when PE firms helped restructure debt and upgrade infrastructure These aren’t examples of “killing small businesses”, they’re examples of taking underperforming assets and improving them. PE is also high-risk capital: firms only succeed if the underlying business succeeds long-term. They don’t win unless fans, athletes, and the product win too. PE isn’t automatically predatory; when done right, it brings capital, innovation, and sustainable growth to systems that need it.

to each their own

Ahh the "private equity is evil" trope

A special thanks to John and Janet Donorname!

Like a 40-degree day

That scene where the lady Bunk goes home with has to call McNulty to come get him because he was so wasted that he actually set his clothes on fire since he was worried about the clothes smelling like "cheating"... is an all-time scene

Of course right after signing day

I agree - Campbell used to be a way hotter name but he's cooled off Dillingham has the hotter name now

Things changed fast - he went to USC where he thought he could cruise in the then PAC-12 which is basically now the Big 10. He could run but he could not hide from playing in one of the 2 big boy conferences
