Jim Harbaugh, the former coach for the Michigan Wolverines, is stirring up a storm of debates while he prepares to transfer to the NFL. The 60-year-old coach has had a tough time this year due to the sign-stealing controversy, which eventually led to his release from Michigan. But now that his potential move to the NFL is being rumored, the fans are divided over who is going to take over for Harbaugh.
The Michigan Wolverines released Harbaugh from the team after an investigation against him was launched. Since then, Sherrone Moore has been the acting head coach and took over from Harbaugh’s position. While everyone hopes for Moore to take over, it looks like Brian Kelly, the coach for LSU, is one of the top picks for the job, and the Michigan fans aren’t too happy about it.

Matt Moscona, the LSU radio host, talked about this possibility and expressed his confidence in Kelly’s decision to drop LSU for Michigan at the earliest. He said, “If Michigan pursues Brian Kelly, he would leave LSU for Michigan. I am confident in saying that.”
Rumors are swirling in Baton Rouge that If Jim Harbaugh were to leave Michigan for a NFL opening that Brian Kelly would be first in line to be the Wolverines head coach.

Moreover, an undisclosed source from the Texas A&M Aggies further piled on these rumors and stated, “There’s a couple people in coaching that told me, ‘Hey, watch out for Brian Kelly. He’s not a perfect fit there in Baton Rouge. He might be pursuing that Michigan job if it comes open.” It is evident that Kelly is one of the top picks for the HC position, but the fans’ reactions desperately cling on to Moore’s name for the honor.
The fans would pick Sherrone Moore over Kelly any day.
If Brian Kelly ends up being the HC at Michigan instead of Moore, the fans would erupt in outrage based on these reactions to the news so far.
This fan named other coaches who would be better for the job than Kelly before even coming to Moore’s name.
They should consider coaches like Kalan DeBore or Dan Lanning & possibly Sherrone Moore (if he doesn’t get sanctioned) before considering Kelly. Hell – there are a lot of young – up and coming coaches that I’d consider before Kelly – who like Jimbo – is stale & past his prime.

There won't be a coaching search. SHERRONE MOORE all day.
