In before people get excited Rhule isn’t going anywhere. We needed this to happen before hiring all these guys for the staff

Makes sense.

It's being reported by the same source that says Harbaugh is joining the Vikings.

And truthfully, it's not that hard to believe. Plenty of NFL failures turn into college successes.

It could all be bull, we'll see.

Same source also hints they likely are to hire from within   So you hire from within.  

then you get to brag about how the in-house guy was a better hire than Rhule and these other external guys you could of pursued but didn’t. 

and again, the Penn St aspect on top of Rhule imploding in the NFL.  Just don’t see how that is realistic for Michigan.

Like I said, they don't necessarily see Rhule like we do.

If they think his success at Temple and Baylor translates to them, he could be their guy.

But again, it's all hypothetical. For now, Harbaugh is still their head coach.

Well my imaginary money is on Matt Rhule never getting a call. 

then Matt Rhule leaks out how Rhule never wanted the job.

This article from a Michigan website claims Rhule is on the AD'S wishlist. Please take him.

If Michigan take Rhule from us I will be indebted to the Vikings for ever.

I’m on a bunch of Ohio State boards that are pretty plugged in to Michigan folks as well. Expectation is that they’ll hire internal (Josh Gattis most likely, slim chance of Mike Hart). But I wouldn’t rule out them checking out external candidates as well.

Kevin O'Connell, Mike McDaniel, Patrick Graham and Brian Callahan have all had interviews but haven't been hired yet.

I liked Adam Stenavich as an option for next year.

I’m still firmly in the camp that Raheem Morris has earned another chance at this

Y'all know the Dolphins owner gets to decide the Michigan head coach right? By far the biggest donor there. 

Dolphins owner might have more important things to worry about

Makes sense. Promoting a guy on staff would help keep some recruits and transfers.

So, this is it?  We're out from under this pudgy windbag?

It's happening?  Someone tell me it's happening (I've seen the gif).

Yep. A big thing at Michigan has always been the idea of the “Michigan Man.” While that’s not as pervasive these days, they do really like the culture that was established this year and feel like the program is in a good place. Hiring someone like Gattis would be very similar to OSU/Ryan Day, OU/Lincoln Riley, and ND/Marcus Freeman. Gattis got a lot of run for HC jobs last year (Virginia Tech to name one) and won the Broyles as the top assistant in CFB. Although Harbaugh’s other coordinator, now ravens DC Mike MacDonald, deserved that award.
