Summary

in this episode, we take a look at the latest with Jim Harbaugh, Warde Manuel, and the future of the Michigan football program.

We begin by looking at rather pressing report that Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel has offered head coach Jim Harbaugh a contract extension. We discuss what it says about the relationship between Harbaugh and Michigan, why it's arguably a smart move by Manuel and what we expect to happen from it.

Then, we look at Michigan's bizarre decision to tell the public that it won't discuss future negotiations until after the season — which is also three days after National Signing Day. We discuss how brutal that is for recruiting, why we don't believe that's the true nature of the situation behind closed doors and the messiness of Michigan needing to do a coaching search during the worst year to need to do a coaching search.
