Jim McElwain: "I'm excited to get back into it and am looking forward to going there and learning and helping Michigan get better."
Foley did everything possible to bury the football program. 10 of the last 16 yrs we've been mediocre to pure ass because of his garbage ass HC hires. Then if you factor in his "budgets" for asst coaches/secondary staff and the refusal to upgrade our facilities I would bet money there isn't one AD in the country who did a worse job in (that time span) with the resources we have.Fvkking Fooley you horse-toothed piece of shyt. A contract written by PDS or some other failure of an "attorney" no doubt.
So Mac is going to Ann Arbor to help fix a offense but he couldn't fix his own at UF Yeah...that makes perfect senseFinebaum LOL's at Harbaugh:
Paul Finebaum on Jim McElwain to Michigan: ‘I don’t think there is a good fit with Jim Harbaugh’

Paul Finebaum couldn’t resist jabbing Jim Harbaugh when speaking about Jim McElwain’s move to Michigan.
On Monday, the noted SEC Network analyst spoke on WJOX 94.5 FM, which is based in Birmingham, Ala., and he was asked if the former Florida coach would be a good fit at Michigan. On Saturday, ESPN’s Chris Low reported that McElwain had signed a contract to join Jim Harbaugh’s staff. McElwain reportedly will coach Michigan’s wide receivers. He’ll also reportedly help coordinate the Wolverines’ offense and develop the team’s weekly game plan.
Finebaum has a long-standing feud with Harbaugh, so a question about Michigan couldn’t pass without a sharp reference to the coach.
“Well, I don’t think there is a good fit with Jim Harbaugh,” Finebaum told WJOX 94.5 FM. “But I think McElwain needed to get a job, because he was completely forgotten about. … I still think Jim McElwain is a good football coach. I just think he was a terrible fit for Florida, and I think he’ll help Michigan. I don’t think it would take much to restart the Michigan offense.”
Beyond Finebaum’s comment about Harbaugh, McElwain’s addition to Michigan’s staff could benefit both sides. McElwain was without work after parting ways with Florida in October. Despite winning two SEC East titles with the Gators, McElwain fell out of favor in Gainesville after he failed to provide proof that he and his family received death threats. He was believed to have accepted a partial settlement of his $12.9 million buyout.
Harbaugh, meanwhile, has struggled to field a competitive offense in Ann Arbor. The Wolverines have averaged 50th or worse in scoring offense in two of his three seasons at Michigan. Before arriving at Florida, McElwain worked as Alabama’s offensive coordinator and Colorado State’s coach.
Perhaps McElwain can rebuild his professional reputation with a quality stint at Michigan. There’s plenty of work in Ann Arbor to be done.
Well if you put it that way, Mac should have declined because Hardballs gonna get canned soon.This was the best job offer Mac had....let that sink in ;)

Remember when we would have thought "worse than 50th" in 2 of three season was bad.....I'm laughing at some of you who think Harbaugh will be gone or fired soon....Remember his talent level was much worse than ours when he took over in 2015....Urbs time is about up(due to a huge talent advantage) and I'd say JH starts giving him some more heartburn starting next season....Anyone remember how many starters Michigan replaced last year? My guess is Urbs will quit before 2020.The Wolverines have averaged 50th or worse in scoring offense in two of his three seasons at Michigan.
I think Harbaugh lasts 2 more years. If he gets his ass kicked by Meyer again this year, he could be done. But they're buyout has got to be ridiculous ($30+ million?). He may jump back to the NFL, but his coaching status has to of taken a hit (after the way he was run out of SF and his - more or less - failure to get Michigan back in the upper echelon of CFB).
Still hanging on, eh?Remember when we would have thought "worse than 50th" in 2 of three season was bad.....I'm laughing at some of you who think Harbaugh will be gone or fired soon....Remember his talent level was much worse than ours when he took over in 2015....Urbs time is about up(due to a huge talent advantage) and I'd say JH starts giving him some more heartburn starting next season....Anyone remember how many starters Michigan replaced last year?

Wrong.....period. Meyer has had 10x the talent due to the 2 idiots that left Michigan a 4-8 or whatever they were when Harbaugh took over....He's literally beat Meyer already if not for some home cooked referee job 2 years ago and sh!tty 4th down gift the officials handed Heartburn Boy if I recall correctly.....How many new starters did Michigan have last year?....Urbs won't like the near future I can tell you that much for sure.he’ll never beat Meyer. Ever.
