Wow, thats a whole lotta dough. I know it would certainly make me think again.According to Ian Rapoport "Sources: #Michigan has made another run at Jim Harbaugh after he initially rebuffed the school. U-M has made an offer of 6 years, $48M. Wow."
That's a lot of money! They really want him there.
^^^This! I know he did well at Stanford, but this is a large sum to throw at a coach that really hasn't proven a lot and may bolt for the NFL again if given the opportunity. They better have a strong out-clause.That's more than Saban, a four-time national champion. That's more than Belichick, a three-time Super Bowl champion.
Mullen is on line two if he turns it down!Honestly this is their ONLY shot at a homerun hire. If he turns them down they are back to another lackluster hire like they did with Hoke.
But if he does take it look out, that would be a very solid hire and they would be a big player in the Big Ten.
Just not sure he wants to coach in college, but that is enough money to change minds these days.
I'm not sure Mullen would go unless they gave him a huge raise.Mullen is on line two if he turns it down!
Heck, Mullen has a better win percentage (60.5% vs Harbaugh's 58%) and Mullen has done it in a far more difficult conference...Mullen is on line two if he turns it down!
He'd now want $50M just to stroke that big ego of his!I'm not sure Mullen would go unless they gave him a huge raise.
But it's not a ridiculous amount of money for a guy who took over perennial loser in the NFL and took them to the NFC championship game his first three years...That's a ridiculous amount of money for a guy who has was 29-21 at Stanford, never winning the Pac10...
^ This. The amount of money he is being offered is obscene. He couldn't get it done with Andrew Luck and a great defense. Michigan should be ashamed of this and I hope they either get embarrassed and rebuffed, or all of that money (that could have been going to other areas of the school) is wasted on a guy that doesn't really measure up when it counts.That's a ridiculous amount of money for a guy who has was 29-21 at Stanford, never winning the Pac10...
You know he will turn them down. The Jets, Raiders, Dolphins, Bears, or Falcons will be calling him. I'd be surprised if he even blinks at this offer.^ This.

NFL ≠ NCAA. We've seen it over and over.But it's not a ridiculous amount of money for a guy who took over perennial loser in the NFL and took them to the NFC championship game his first three years...
