Harbaugh hires father of top football QB recruit

[PhatOrange]

Jim Harbaugh pulls off another bold recruiting move with latest Michigan hire

 

[bnoro]

He's singlehandedly ruining college football with the way he bends and disregards the rules, even if some of them are unwritten. How shady can he get?

 

[LeMoyneCuse]

I think I just saw the NCAA is considering a rule that would not allow anyone who coached a recruit to take a job at the same school for a minimum of two years after high school graduation.

 

[Ky Je]

yea, and that coach's player/son is over 2 years away from CFB

The Belichick of NCAA Football... I don't blame him one bit for using the rules to his advantage... It's not like he hired someone with zero experience... It's obvious why it happened, and it probably only lasts a year, but kudos to him for using resources to better his position.

Kid should go to Ohio State.

Duke brought in Trajon Lagndon's father from Alaska to teach a class in Trajon's senior year.

It's been going on for a looooong time...

If this were on the basketball board, you could substitute Calipari for Harbaugh, make the same observation, and ask the same question.

I hope the kid switches to lacrosse.

How long before Harbaugh starts adopting kids?

 

[bnoro]

It's been going on for a while, sure. Harbaugh is just far more obvious about it.

That would be a horrible rule. While i understand it can limit collusion for recruits, it also penalizes coaches who have had good players play for them. It makes me think of St. Thomas Aquinas. They typically have multiple Div 1 talents on their roster. So effectively their coach could have anywhere from 10-20 teams per year that he could not go and have any type of coaching job? I dont like it.

"The elder Johnson has an extensive coaching background in both the NFL and college ranks. He was the 49ers' offensive coordinator in 2010, the year before Harbaugh’s arrival there. Johnson also was an assistant at UCLA before taking over at The King’s Academy, where he spent the last three seasons." atlas this is a guy who in many other cases could reasonably expect to be hired by Michigan. this isn't even his best job to date.

Shouldn't have to worry about Harriott going to college coaching, he played that game once.

I think the proposed rule specifies non-coaching positions.

Don't you know his role model is John Calipari.

 

[retro44]

LOL...the father was OC the year for San Francisco before Harbaugh shows up and doesn't retain him back then,but it is so clear today why he needs him now...ASAP

If we ever get Michigan to come to the dome that'll be the game I'd streak past the 50 yard line when we put it away before the half.

Didn't Danny Manning's father get hired as an assistant at Kansas, too?

Correct

Isiah Whitehead's HS coach was hired as an assistant at Seton Hall. Whitehead went pro and he no longer works there. Happens a lot across every college sport. Doesn't make it ethical but tough to put hardened rules around these types of situations.

In a similar situation, Mario Chalmers dad flew the coop from Kansas as their director of basketball operations as soon as Mario left also.

Now he's getting a $21 million dollar weight room, but not without angering some coaches in other sports at Michigan

Michigan to build new $21M weight room

Didn't Tully XC do that to win state titles?
