Michigan Coaching Candidates: 5 Possible Coaches If Michigan Really Is A Big Deal

If Jim Harbaugh takes the Minnesota Vikings head coaching job, here are 5 candidates Michigan should consider if it really is a big deal

1. Lane Kiffin, Ole Miss head coach

My Jim Harbaugh Apologists Club meetings were on Tuesday nights, my Lane Kiffin Fanboy gatherings were on Thursdays.

Seriously, do you want to win or not, Michigan?

Do you want the guy who gets it? Gets social media. Gets NIL. Gets what it’s like to poke the bear and make the program up to the national attention and hype that Harbaugh was able to bring?

And again, do you want the guy who wins?

Even with the big contract at Ole Miss, you throw the nine-figure deal his way and he’s taking the Lane Train up to Ann Arbor.

Oh, what, you’re worried that he’s too Lane Kiffin?

He took Ole-freaking-Miss to 10-3 and a No. 11 finish that would’ve been better if his NFL quarterback didn’t get hurt.

He won two Conference USA titles in three years at Florida Atlantic. He appeared to be on the verge of recreating the monster at USC before the Reggie Bush penalties put the program in a coma. His one year at Tennessee was the program’s best in a six-season span.

He’s it. He’s Harbaugh times ten as a lightning rod, and with the offense you thought you were getting over the last few years. And …

Okay, fine. Michigan isn’t getting any of those five coaches.

I guess let’s see what Mike Hart can do.
