Michigan and football coach Jim Harbaugh are working toward a lifetime contract, Fox Sports analyst Brady Quinn said Tuesday on Fox Sports Radio.

Get out of my head.

Precisely what I thought about the situation.

Not matter how intense the love between a coach and school, this is taking things to a jaw-dropping extreme.

I haven't heard much from Harbaugh since he went on a tirade about his players not skipping the bowl game and then Jabrill Peppers wouldn't get within 50 feet of the football field.

Lifetime, how the hell does that even work?

Sooner or later for one reason or another there will be a parting of ways you can take that to the bank.

At that point would one party owe the other party some crazy number like 200 million dollars, haha

He needs that angle. So far, JH hasn't delivered. He will need a way to survive once the 2nd coming wears off.

Harbaugh is a little overrated.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Does this mean if he keeps on losing to tOSU that he'll be sleeping with the fishes?

 

[alaVOL]

why?

They way all the 'accusers' are coming out of the woodwork - he better be careful with the sleepover stuff -- just cause for firing if he doesnt start winning NCs

I know that Harbaugh is not an indolent man, but offering a lifetime contract is carte blanche for complacency. One of the driving forces behind every coach's determination to achieve excellence is the fear of being fired.

They added language in the contract that they can legally execute him if they don’t win an NC in 8 years.

Harbaugh is a little overrated.

If by "a little", you mean "way way" you're right.

 

[give_him 6]

I think the NFL is going to draw him back soon.

I am not going to say way overrated. Thats a stretch.

Wow, they really do love finishing 3rd in the division. Go Meatchicken!
