I don't know @spradlin24, to hire a coach two years early seems problematic and not a very good way around a rule. Harbaugh would have to work with a coach 2 years without a guarantee the player would sign? Then what happens if Harbaugh is not happy with the coach? He works with him another three years while the player is on the team? If he fires the coach, the guy could tell NCAA why he was hired. Seems risky.
Well the coach he recently hired is the father of the #1 rated dual threat QB in the country for 2019 so I am sure the kid will follow the coach that was hired. Now don't mistake this for me saying the coach is not qualified because he is actually a good coach and has coached on the higher level before. I would agree it is a risk, but there is risk with hiring any coach. The end goal is to get the game changer on campus and a good way to make that a sure thing is to hire is father that is also a qualified coach.
That little tidbit just deepens my dislike for Harbaugh. He is taking college football recruiting to an even lower level.
I just read that the father of Harbaugh's 2019 recruit will go to Oregon, not Michigan.
Interestingly, the father, Michael Johnson, has a decade of NFL experience.
Well Oregon definitely fits a dual threat more than Michigan, but I would guess this will be a long fought battle for Oregon to pull him away from his dad. Should be fun to watch though. Harbaugh is very creative in how he does things.
I totally misread what you put down and thought you were referring to the recruit going to Oregon. I find it very funny that Oregon one upped Harbaugh by offering an actual position coach job over an analyst job. Not a fan of using coaches to lure kids to a certain college unless that is where they wanted to go any way, but as long as it is within the guidelines it will be done. Coaches have to win to stay employed and you have to have top tier guys to win.
