Hmm, with harbaugh. I thought he’d want to stay at Michigan and follow his idol Bo. But then again, nfl is almost an easier job in the sense you don’t need to recruit, which a lot of college coaches today do not like, but it’s part of the job. Harbaugh has been there as a player and coach, knows the league, and might want to out do his brother In Baltimore. I think he leaves

And with the transfer portal, coaches have to re-recruit some of their veteran players every year.
I’ve heard this a lot but I think it’s overstated.
Denver now has the wealthiest owner in American professional sports. Denver has also historically been one of the NFL’s most successful franchises. Resources and motivation to rebuild won’t be lacking.
Denver also has the ability (and as things stand, perhaps no choice but) to make a long term commitment to a veteran established coach like Harbaugh or Payton. That means a lot of years and a lot more guarantees than what a newly hired NFL coach typically gets. They can promise the coach will have a lot of say in personnel. And they can assure the coach that he pretty much gets a free pass in 2023 and 2024 while they sort out the Russell Wilson salary cap and draft pick mess. I’m sure the pitch to a coach like Harbaugh or Payton will be “It’s your team for the next five years. Do whatever you want. Total carte Blanche to build this however you like. You can go 0-17 the next two years and we won’t complain. Also let’s make you the highest paid coach in NFL history. How does that sound?”
Pretty much whoever they want.
Harbough heading to the NFL? More movement in the BIG

Well you knowingly overstate it. I don’t see any current Big Ten coach nor half of the SEC heading there.
I get your point however: It’s an elite job and they’ll have plenty of quality coaches interested.
I agree. I was just pointing out they have the power to do that. Whether they do or it works out is TBD.
It’s possible now that your going to see players that have committed and signed with them recently transfer next year.

Rich Rod should have known his lane and stayed in it. Had a great thing at WVU before he jumped.
Harbaugh has done a great job at Michigan, but I bet they can do better. No clue who that would be though.

I have an early prediction of the new Michigan HC and he is a Michigan man to boot

Not a bad call. I’d add Garrett Riley and Jeff Traylor to the list of Harbaugh leaves.I have an early prediction of the new Michigan HC and he is a Michigan man to boot

Man, they had a few really good seasons after he left, but they haven't had back to back to back 11 win seasons... What a bad "investment" they made.

Worked out a lot better for scUM than for us!
If Michigan gets an nfl assistant, would he be able to navigate the uncertain current and future landscape of major college football??? Especially in recruiting. Im not sure. The urban Meyer, and I’m sure others’ pitch was, ‘I will get you to the nfl’, which on its own doesn’t carry as much weight anymore with nil.
I have no idea. All the things people have suggested so far seem plausible, although I lean toward Michigan man nfl assistant
Hopefully they eff it up though

I'm not disagreeing with your point about Meyer specifically, but I wonder how well his "skill set" translates to the NIL landscape. OTOH, maybe it's largely the same since asking donors to funnel money to players can be done in sunlight rather than the shadows.
