    He is the vaporware of coaching. He will never coach again, I firmly believe that.

    He will return to coaching. It won't be at Michigan, though.

    Seems he would have found a gig by now if he wanted one. He has been out of the game for what, six years? I don't know the guy at all, but I don't understand why someone sits out that long if they want to coach again.

    I know it's a dead horse being prodded, but he wanted to coach again here. Those that are close to him know that there are a handful of places where he would go back to. The list is small because he's got a great gig, and can be as picky as he wants.

    If this is true, and I have no reason to doubt that it is, the Jones hire has to be one of the most epic fails in sports history

    Look at his situations at Oakland and Tampa. He's going to be on his terms at his next job, and that was what kept him from being here. Two people didn't want to give over control. They knew he'd be king of the university

    I'm ashamed of how much time I have spent on this exact thought over the last 2 years.

    Gruden can't coach Michigan. I named my new cat Gruden.

    True story.

    That seals it.

    There aren't many other situations where an AD has deliberately made a bad hire just to thumb their nose at boosters. Once you factor all the names in, Jones was probably closer to name number 20 than10 on the list of targets.
