Postgame Show: The Most Michigan Man To Ever Live

[0] You're listening to Draft King's Network.

[1] I enjoyed this tweet to God's over the weekend from someone named Morgan Hughes, who said of Jim Harbaugh.

[2] And I know this is going to be a fun season for the Chargers.

[3] And I am truly awed by the dismount of Jim Harbaugh at Michigan, better than anything Simone Biles has ever done.

[4] because Morgan Hughes says this accurately, Harbaugh, O 'N5 versus Ohio State, too cowardly to play the game in 2020, overseas program -wide cheating for three years, quits when NCAA finds out most Michigan man to ever live.

[5] The Harbaugh reputation is pristine.

[6] Now, they made him 0 -1 -5 against Ohio State because he couldn't be coaching last year because of the aforementioned program -wide cheating.

[7] But the man jumping from a burning building as an undefeated champion as soon as he gets caught and landing in the pros with Justin Herbert as his quarterback, holy shit, what an escape hatch.

[8] Stugats was crushing Harbaugh for eight straight years about nothing, or I guess it would be five straight years or six straight years about doing nothing.

[9] accomplishing nothing at Michigan.

[10] It is going to be interesting because they've lost all their wide receivers.

[11] Horba is, you know, one of those quarterback whisperers.

[12] He has the quarterback.

[13] The quarterback's injured right now.

[14] We'll see if he's back in time to start the regular season.

[15] That is going to be one of the fun, entertaining stories to cover throughout the NFL this year.

[16] I'm looking forward to see how that plays out because I don't think the Chargers are going to be very good.

[17] Well, if Herbert's healthy, which he's not right now.

[18] Yeah.

[19] He's injured.

[20] I know.

[21] He has to wear in a walking boot.

[22] Supposedly we'll be ready for the start of the season.

[23] but we'll see what happens.

[24] It's a planarphasia injury to Justin Herbert.

[25] Jim Harbaugh reportedly facing a level one infraction.

[26] Now, the NCAA, ironically, it was an Ohio state head coach.

[27] Jim Tressel, he faced discipline at the next level in the NFL because of infractions that he committed on the NCAA level.

[28] So we'll see if.

[29] Tony doesn't remember that.

[30] Tony, was it six games that Tressel got?

[31] Four games?

[32] Six games?

[33] Yeah, he and his sweater vests were up in the booth a little bit as an advisor for the Indianapolis Colts.

[34] Now, this is a far more serious job that Jim Harbaugh has, but he does have very recent experience watching someone else coach's team.

[35] But how does that work with NCAA giving infractions that the NFL is like, oh, yeah, we're going to make sure that this happens?

[36] It's actually the right move for, we keep mentioning that the NFL has a free minor league system to be this safe harbor where you can commit all the infractions that you want with impunity essentially because there's always going to be a job waiting for you in the NFL.

[37] they're actually taking care of their partners there and saying that there is actually a punitive measure here for the coaches who have historically been above the law.

[38] The Ohio State players were suspended five games, so Tressel said he also wanted to be suspended five games because he's Jim Tressel.

[39] Well, not wanted to be.

[40] It was against his will.

[41] Yeah, he was suspended in the NFL.

[42] And I believe that was at least the first mainstream example of someone being punished in the NFL for something that they did in the NCAA in terms of infractions.

[43] going.

[44] So Jim Harbaugh, who's now being paid to coach Chargers games, it's possible that he could suffer some sort of discipline.

[45] I am very eager as someone who has been eye -testing Herbert since the beginning to disentangle him from Keenan Allen and Mike Williams and see what that looks like.

[46] Because Mike Williams was hurt a lot.

[47] But when I saw the Chargers receivers, it felt to me every bit as good and dominant capable as the dolphin receivers, as the Bengals receivers, wherever it is that you find two guys.

[48] Now, Mike Williams, it didn't end up being that as a possession guy.

[49] He would get you often two or three catches a game.

[50] But those two human beings, you throw to them, you were throwing to basketball players.

[51] You were throwing to people who couldn't be guarded by people as small as cornerback.

[52] Both pretty tough guys that would tough it out over injuries, too.

[53] I think you could look at what's happened in the Chargers recently and said if you have your questions about Herbert, his weapons weren't out there consistently or when they were out there, they were pretty banged up.

[54] We'll see if Keenan Allen at this age in his career can help out Caleb Williams.

[55] But Dan is right about Mike Williams.

[56] It's just funny.

[57] Like he's never had a game where he had seven catches for 56 yards.

[58] It's either three catches for 120 yards and two touchdowns or no catches.

[59] There's no in between for Mike Williams.

[60] It's sometimes seven catches for a buck 80 too.

[61] but it's not there aren't there aren't a lot of two for ten yards on there but harbaugh even though he does have this reputation of being a quarterback whisper and he has plenty of NFL experience uh I mean went to a Super Bowl against his brother with Colin Kaepernick as as his as his quarterback he has a lot of experience in the NFL and in doing right by quarterbacks and getting the most out of them but his days of Michigan towards the end and I know JJ McCarthy went high it's about the running game it was about controlling the ball Is he going to try to do that?

[62] They have accumulated quite a bit of running back talent there.

[63] Austin Echler is no longer there.

[64] Is he going to try to control the NFL game with one of these premier quarterbacks that everyone would love to watch Let It Fly?

[65] Is he going to try to do this with a running game?

[66] Dan, I know you put a lot of weight in this, so I hate to be the bear bad news.

[67] Justin Herbert dropped 43 spots in this year's NFL top 100.

[68] He's down to 75 now.

[69] Wow.

[70] Mike Williams had a game of two.

[71] catches 10 yards last season he had a game of one catch 15 yards might have gotten hurt in those two catches 17 yards one catch 15 yards four catches 32 yards so a bit of a feast or famine kind of guy so he did it five times last season put up one of those turd games but then he has like a 10 for 134 7 for 120 8 for 113 and a tutti hard hard in the game log to find out if he left midway through the second quarter yeah they don't have that asterisk uh the other story Stugats that I wanted to ask you about because it happened really quietly last week.

[72] More quietly than I would have liked if I were in his position.

[73] After eight years at Fox trying to compete in the debate wars, Skip Bayless left and I was legitimately stunned that there was no goodbye of any sort between him and an audience of eight years that he just tweeted something.

[74] They mentioned nothing about it on the show.

[75] You know where my relationship was with ESPN at the end of my relationship with ESPN.

[76] They let me have a farewell show.

[77] They let me say goodbye to an audience that had been watching for a while.

[78] Skip thanked every member of his audience individually.

[79] It's messed up, man. What happened?

[80] Respectably.

[81] Respectfully?

[82] Yeah, respectfully.

[83] Stugatia for my friends over at SimplySafe, if you're like me, you're constantly thinking about the safety of the people and things you value most.
