If Dave Brandon is done, the timing of this may allow for a new AD to be in place to make a coaching hire. Think Texas last year.

If Harbaugh is hired will he demand that Michigan fire that guy who tried to ruin his brother-in law's program?

You mean Jeff Meyer, who was cited by the NCAA for breaking rules....no wonder you like him.

The same Jeff Meyer that admitted to breaking NCAA rules?

"I regret that I may have made mistakes that are causing my and IU's conduct to be examined by the NCAA. … I will not comment on this process again before it is completed," Meyer said.


How this guy ever got hired by Michigan should be the bigger question.  Sounds like a bosom buddy to Scott Monarch.


FROM ESPN

Sampson, assistant coach Jeff Meyer and former assistant Rob Senderoff failed to comply with sanctions imposed on Sampson for impermissible recruiting calls he made while he was the head coach at Oklahoma. Sampson was under such sanctions when he was hired to coach the Hoosiers in March 2006.

Sampson and Senderoff, who resigned his position Oct. 30, are alleged to have jointly participated in telephone calls at a time when Sampson was prohibited from being present or taking part when staff members made recruiting calls. Senderoff and Meyer are alleged to have made about 100 calls that exceeded the sanction limits.

• Senderoff and Meyer placed "at least 25 telephone calls" to nine potential recruits that exceeded NCAA limits even if no sanctions had been in place.

• Sampson "acted contrary to the NCAA principles of ethical conduct when he knowingly violated recruiting restrictions imposed by the NCAA Committee on Infractions."

• Sampson and Meyer engaged in an impermissible recruiting contact during a two-day sports camp held at Assembly Hall last June 30 and July 1, and that Meyer provided the potential recruit with an impermissible benefit -- at least one T-shirt and drawstring backpack.

Sports radio in Detroit was just saying they should take their time finding the next AD.  They only have that luxury if they're willing to sit with Hoke another season.  No way can they take their time finding a new AD and still hope to have someone other than Hoke as their coach for next season.

Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon is resigning and will not return next school year, a source told ESPN's Brett McMurphy.

The university will hold a news conference Friday at 1:30 p.m. ET.

Brandon has been at the center of controversy all season, including the football program's mishandling of quarterback Shane Morris' head injury and issues with students' ticket prices.

Earlier this week, mgoblog.com posted caustic and condescending emails that fans wrote to Brandon with their concerns about the athletic department. The website reviewed email exchanges between Brandon and several different fans in which he allegedly told one to "quit drinking and go to bed" and another to "find a new team to support."

Reached for comment, a Michigan spokesman told ESPN.com the school had "nothing else to add."

Students were upset when Brandon, a former Michigan football player who is in his fifth year as AD, reworked the seating arrangements for football games without consulting them and raised season ticket prices for students to the highest in the Big Ten -- an issue he recently attempted to fix by dramatically dropping the price and promising to be more connected to the student body.

Despite the change, the Michigan Daily reported that students still plan to distribute 2,000 "#FireDaveBrandon" T-shirts for Saturday's homecoming game against Indiana.

The Michigan football program has floundered under coach Brady Hoke this season, his third in Ann Arbor. The Wolverines are 3-5 overall (1-3 Big Ten) after last weekend's 35-11 loss to Michigan State, their sixth loss in seven seasons versus their rival. Hoke, who was Michigan's defensive line coach in the late 1990s, is 29-17 as coach.

When the head coach goes down so do the assistants. If the NCAA had come down on Crean for some of his cheating (blatant contact with Gary Harris during a non contact period, Hanner Perea  and the rest of the Indiana Elite garbage, etc., etc., etc.) I'm sure the assistants wouldn't have been spared. Luckily for TC and the boys the NCAA looked the other way - they knew hitting a blue blood twice in 5 years would be bad for business.

Doesn't Saban have a contract that says he has to get at least $1 more than the second highest paid head coach?

If Michigan offers Harbaugh the same deal, does that set off an infinite loop ending with both of them getting all the money in the world?

seems to me they have a month and a half. It's a very attractive job (not many more attractive)... So they should have a nice pool of candidates.

I bet interim AD fires Hoke just before permanent AD's introduction and ensuing coaching search.

Glad you think it's "garbage", the NCAA didn't.....I'll bet they were paid off.   ::)    They concluded buying a bumper sticker by a "booster" didn't rise to the level of a problem.  At any rate, you told us many times here before they were never hit at all, so now you're saying they wanted to avoid hitting them twice in 5 years...interesting.  


Meyer was implicated directly.  How does he have a job at Michigan is beyond many people and was quite an eye opener.  

Makes you wonder who gave Scott Monarch the orders since you're using that logic...cough cough..

So, why do you think that when Crean was caught cheating in Harris's high school during the non contact period the NCAA looked past it. Makes you wonder...cough cough...

guessing it's based off the prior years' reported salaries. So... yes, if they work infinite years under that contract. Otherwise it's a one-upping of a dollar each year.

You're correct ... I was thinking it was off the current year's contract in which case they one up each other into infinity in the same year.

Apparently, the alumni/season ticket holders are unhappy with more than just the bad product.    Sometimes, hiring someone from the corporate world (Domino's is better off without him) who has no experience in collegiate athletics backfires. 

Just another corporate "expert". But he said the value of a season ticket for students was worth $295 and that's all that mattered.

Except.... the customer said no. - and guess what? The expert is gone.

Michigan targets AD Jim Phillips
Updated: November 1, 2014, 6:59 PM ET
By Joe Schad | ESPN

Michigan has targeted Northwestern athletic director Jim Phillips as a candidate to succeed Dave Brandon, according to a source.

This is an indication that Michigan will seriously consider candidates without university ties.

Brandon resigned Friday amid a storm of controversy. A string of athletic department mishaps in the past several months dominated headlines around the Michigan campus and served as a regular distraction at sporting events.

Some logical candidates also likely to be considered include Connecticut's Warde Manuel and Boston College's Brad Bates, who do have Michigan ties.

Phillips has served two years as the AD Chair of the Big Ten while also working as a member of the Rose Bowl Management Committee. Northwestern has had more than 200 Academic All-Americans in each of the past four years.

Michigan in the past has considered Northwestern football coach Pat Fitzgerald as a head coach candidate, but Phillips secured him to new contracts.

ESPN.com's Dan Murphy contributed to this report.
