Kevin Wilson Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 1 minute ago, Tabe said: Supposedly Michigan is looking at Matt Rhule if Harbaugh ends up leaving. Is Matt Rhule looking at them back? Not that it would be terribly unusual for a new NFL coach to decide to go back to college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Yes - because the story is the other way around from what Tabe said Quote With next season looking more and more like a make-or-break year for Matt Rhule, the Panthers’ head coach may be making anticipatory moves to stay employed. Jason La Canfora, of CBS Sports, reported that Rhule, and potentially other head coaches in the NFL, may set their sights on the University of Michigan opening, should current head coach Jim Harbaugh be drawn to Las Vegas. Harbaugh is currently negotiating with Michigan after he led the Wolverines to their first College Football Playoff appearance and their first outright Big Ten Championship since 2003. He had signed an extension at the start of the season to secure him in Ann Arbor through 2025, but, with mounting interest from the Raiders, the negotiations are giving Michigan a chance to convince him to stay. The Raiders are searching for a new general manager as well as head coach, following the departures of Mike Mayock and Jon Gruden. Harbaugh isn’t the only target in Vegas, though. He’ll have to compete with interim head coach Rich Bisaccia, who, despite a season of turmoil, led the Raiders to a Wild Card spot in the playoffs. Jerod Mayo and DeMeco Ryans have also been mentioned as candidates. Rhule’s interest in heading back down to the college ranks of coaching have not quite been a secret. Sources have informed La Canfora that Rhule was watching the situations at Penn State and LSU closely, in case a beneficial opportunity presented itself.

Brian Fowler Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Georgia receiver Jermaine Burton is transferring to... *Checks notes* Alabama? Wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLowe Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 So Caleb Williams is apparently trending to Wisconsin, as his dad and the likely new Wisconsin OC (Bobby Engram, former NFL receiver and current Ravens TE coach) are tight (and Caleb's dad is extreme helicopter Dad). Caleb also apparently played ball with Engram's son, who is now at Wisconsin. This could make a lot of things interesting as USC lost both Slovis and Dart, and everyone was assuming Williams was following Riley to USC. Slovis is now at Pitt, while Dart is choosing between OU, Ole Miss, and BYU. OU got Dillon Gabriel, but lost Rattler and Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only think of one time in my life where they had that - the one year of Russell Wilson. 11-3 is what they got - not bad at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 This could go in either off-season thread, but it's looking very likely that John Harbaugh is going to bring Mike MacDonald back from his one year in Ann Arbor to be d cord for the Ravens.

EVA Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share Posted January 31, 2022 On 1/21/2022 at 4:18 PM, EVA said: Also looks like Derek Mason is leaving Auburn for Oklahoma State, because Bryan Harsin is incapable of getting along with anybody who isn’t from the Pacific Northwest. And now comes word that Auburn OC Austin Davis, who was just hired in December, is likely leaving the program today. Rumors are that he didn’t like recruiting and/or might have an NFL OC job waiting on him. Also possible that he is just another person who could not handle Harsin’s bullshit.

EVA Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share Posted January 31, 2022 Despite the momentary egg on their face, this is potentially a good thing for Auburn. Davis was a weird OC hire, given that he had all of three years prior coaching experience, none of it in college or as an OC. They at least have the opportunity to make a decent hire. If Harsin is actually capable of such a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
