Bar talk.

I'm out getting something to eat and over-heard a couple middle-age guys saying that Mike Hart will be the RB coach next year. TIFIW.

between Mike and Tyrone Wheatley

Tyrone has more experience but I think either would be a great choice.

Mike Hart?

Um...

"That’s a guy I have no respect for. When you graduate from the University of Michigan and you’re going to talk about your school like that, a great institution like that we have, to say we’re not true student athletes. It’s coming from a guy who, I don’t know, maybe wants to coach here, and is mad he didn’t get a job here. A guy like that I have no respect for. It’s funny to me, because we don’t let great student-athletes in, but he just accepted one of our transfers [Jason Forcier]. What kind of sense does that make? He obviously wants guys like us at his school and he’s mad he can’t get them. It’s nothing against Stanford. I just have no respect for that guy. I don’t know how you can say that. He’s not a Michigan man. I obviously wish he never played here before.”


I'm not so sure Harbaugh is going to give Hart a job.

Jim acknowledged he was wrong about that yesterday. I don't think this is an insurmountable barrier although in an "all things being equal" scenario, it probably makes him a less likely choice.

That was 7 years ago. Water under the bridge. Jim even admitted yesterday that he made a mistake when he said it.

I believe it's water under the bridge in the sense that he won't hold a grudge. I just don't know many employers that would employ and work directly with someone who bad mouthed them like that.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I see JH going a different route than Hart. I hope I'm wrong.
