You're reading it wrong if you think Warde Manuel is why Jim Harbaugh left Michigan football

- A new book is coming out on Michigan football and there's an excerpt of a chapter about Jim Harbaugh leaving Michigan, spanning from the time the NCAA started investigating and the interim between the national championship game and when he accepted the Chargers job.
Some media outlets are proclaiming that, due to what it says in the excerpt, Warde Manuel is why Jim Harbaugh left Ann Arbor for Los Angeles. But if that's what you think, you're not reading what was said clearly. We delve deeper, peeling back layers of the onion to show really who was at fault. We also revisit some aspects of the Connor Stalions saga and share some inside intel (which we may or may not have shared before -- we cannot remember). And then we get to the bottom of it all and share why Jim Harbaugh ultimately left the Wolverines.

Undeniably, a lot of good coaches got away at Michigan under Warde Manuel’s watch.
Yea , Howard was an awesome coach!
@@danielroberts3920 WOW 🤯
@vaughnwesterby5162 I was being sarcastic! Meatchicken is an embarrassment to the BIG!
Sorry but I disagree. Warde never had his back. I firmly believe if Warde hadn't tried pushing him out in 2020, if he had tried harder to get the extension done, if he had made Coach, as he put it, "feel the love" the way he should have Coach would have stayed.
He didn't have his back because he seen the evidence from the BIG and knew the cheating scandal is going to ruin this POS University!!
Ward manual was always the reason why harbaugh wasn't here, this isn't news at all
Isaiah trying to brain-wash listeners.
Your friendship with Warde keeps you from seeing the truth that Warde is a huge reason Harbaugh didn't come back to A2
Still very frustrated and disappointed that Michigan is not fighting harder to clear their name and at the very least tell the story about how the Stallions scandal was discovered and came about. Just rolling over and showing the NCAA and B1G their belly without a fight sucks.
At any rate, it's time to focus on the 2024 season. The roster is stacked and everyone outside AA is underrating the team. Can't wait. Go Blue
Harbaugh's quote (which sounds like it wasn't intended to go public) sounds sort of like someone who felt conflicted about pursuing NFL opportunities while still being devoted to his alma mater and needed to come up with a justification for it.
This was a hit piece that Harbaugh and his team put out to make him look better about leaving and to stab Manuel on his way out- perhaps justified. Michigan’s administration is so backwards and not forward thinking, without JH. They lack a backbone, unlike OSU, Oregon and the entire SEC. They have one of the best brands in all of sports but act like they’re Rutgers, irrelevant. Their alack of awareness towards the business of college football is unhinged and it all starts at the top- Manuel, the administration, etc… Harbaugh was going to leave, because his ultimate goal was a Super Bowl. But he knows Manuel isn’t the AD Moore and the program needs going forward. This was his last chance to get rid of him for Moore’s sake and for the program he rebuilt.
Sorry about the pun in advance. When it came to protecting Jim Harbaugh, Warde and the admin had no-baughs.
I fully believe Harbaugh would of stayed if it weren't for Warde.....Waiting forever to give him a new contract and not backing him when he needed his support...You would not see that in the SEC...Alabama would do whatever to protect Saban...Nil was big time short comings...and much more.....
100%
The SEC in general always has each others backs. They all break the rules and always have but they all acknowledge that and refrain from burying each other. The Big Ten is the true conference of hate. There is no conference pride and we all hate each other and have zero problem throwing each other under the bus. The SEC doesn't just doesn't get down like us.
Wrong! He knows what's coming with the cheating scandal!!!
He found out what they had on him and that's why they didn't sue! But you idiots keep thinking nothing happened. But the hammer is coming!
@@danielroberts3920 Oh shutup already. Or at least be original.
Harbaugh spent three post seasons looking for an NFL job. He was there once and wanted back in. Manuel and him may have had a strained relationship, but there was a promise to keep Jim as the highest paid head coach in college football, and certainly Manuel had something to do with that.
It does make me wonder if you weren't so dependent on Michigan and being in their best graces if you would be saying something different. Maybe, maybe not. I certainly understand this relationship and how you need to operate. I can only take so much you say at face value going forward when it comes to these matters.
Cannot believe you haven't taken this down 😂😂😂
If the first layer of the onion is rotten, there's no need to peel it back. The first layer IS the problem! This video felt like Isaiah making peace with the university. 😏
Trying to brain-wash his listeners.
Isaiah I usually love your content but you’re so biased when it comes to backing Warde. He has been a stain on Michigan for a long time that needs to go. 99% of Michigan fans agree. Warde has done nothing to help Michigan be more dominant other than throw our coach under the bus and drive him out of town.
Isaiah...why do you continue to state that Jim was wanting to go to the NFL for over three years?
You never mention that it was Warde that told Jim in the Covid season that he wanted him to explore a coaching job in the NFL. Jim wanted to stay the whole time....but Warde didn't want him at Michigan.
Get the story straight please.
You can look at differently depending on how most situations play out. The fact is that most top programs would have fired Harbaugh sometime either before or during the 2-4 season. Betting on Joe Milton 3.5 years ago was a frighteningly shocking outcome in real time…in the history of Alex Smith and Andrew Luck. It just wasn’t expected. Manuel got tough and laid down a new incentive plan which essentially worked over the next 3 years. A CEO or Board of Directors of a company looking at things objectively might think that Harbaugh’s revised contract after the 2-4 season was genius. What happened after the 2-4 season? Michigan just turned the corner.
The way you kiss the hand of michigans athletic department reminds me of a the Iranians at the funereal of the president
Harbaugh was always going back to the NFL. He wants a Lombardi trophy and somebody else was gonna poach Sherrone Moore if we didn't hand the keys to him now.
Warde has to go
Says who notice the Natty Michigan has won 🏆 in all sports since Warde took over men and women sports has improved Harbaugh was never going to stay plus Michigan got back to being Michigan after they started bringing in younger coaches who also could recruit something that wasn't Harbaugh strong suit. Like l said Harbaugh used Michigan as a stepping stone to get back too the NFL less restrictions also in the league idiot
I don't think so. It does not make any sense. I just think Jim decided that he delivered a National Champtionship to Michigan and it was time to move on. It is that simple.
Hi, I am a long term listener and follower. I have a question. You mentioned that Warde is your guy. Is that your personal opinion or the policy of Locked on Wolverines and for insider information. I am just asking to know how to watch the show.
Either way, this is my number 1 show and it will continue to be this way. Thak you for your efforts.
Harbaughs gone...and ur delusional if think warde wasn't one the main reasons harbaugh is gone.....we moved past that....sherrone is r coach now .. hopefully it works out ...Go blue
Isaiah, what is your opinion of Stapleton?
No, the NCAA is not the center of the onion. The sign stealing is the center of the onion. NCAA did the right thing to leak this information during the season.
What a terrible time to be a michigan man. U love a coach that screwed u lol jcaa is coming but Jim don't care he left lol
You're projecting your OWN misery after being three-peated and knowing that Michigan is NATIONAL CHAMPION.
@@leojanuszewski1019 sanctions are coming Leo.
@@jimmy5634 Yeah...y'know y'all have been wrong with your every prediction about Michigan for over three years now, so...
You are too close to this, maybe sit this one out. Personal biases are a bad look for essentially a journalist.
Do you depend on the Michigan athletic department for your gameday field access to shoot the game? If so that would explain your oddly pro-Warde Manuel stance.
I'd be surprised if Manual and Staplton were not conspiring against Jim Harbaugh from day one.
absolutely true that it happened. Warde needs to go...asap.
How dare anyone tell others what they must read in a book
I'm a very proud alum and Harbaugh fan. The Michigan sign stealing scandal occurred under Harbaugh's tenure, creating significant controversy. While one can debate whether it gave the team a competitive edge, there is no debate that it occurred under Harbaugh's watch. Athletic Director Warde Manuel and the University had no involvement or prior knowledge of the incident. This situation placed the University in a difficult position as it must protect its brand and manage the fallout from potential sanctions. Harbaugh may have sought stronger support from the University, but the institution had to weigh its reputation and the risk of severe penalties, including paying the highest salary in football amid the very high likelihood of sanctions. This created a fundamental conflict of interest, despite both sides generally wanting the marriage to work. Also of note, Harbaugh faced two violations within a year (3 games each for different program infractions). One of these involved a relatively minor infraction, which could have been swiftly resolved by pleading guilty to buying a burger. However, his personality and approach to the situation complicated matters extremely. Ultimately, these factors combined to create a scenario where parting ways was in the best interest of all parties involved. I wish Harbaugh could be the coach at Michigan until retirement and believe that we would repeat (possibly may still repeat) and would have been the best Michigan coach ever- 3 consecutive Big 10 titles, 3 consecutive Ohio State wins, a national championship and player development off the charts with 3 and 4 star talent. Unfortunately, there was also a certain amount of fatigue and things played out differently, There is no villain here, certainly not Warde Manuel nor the University.
You fully believe, like you are right there on campus Harbaugh never was going to stay at the college level as a coach pros was where he wanted to be to much restrictions at the college level and recruiting wasn't his strength noticed Michigan got great when he started bringing in younger coaches who could recruit
No, they got better when they cheated!!!
@@danielroberts3920 Ohio doesn't get to claim that ANY of their 3-peat losses were due to "cheating."
Michigan blasted Ohio in 2021 before Connor Stalions had even been hired.
In 2022, Michigan again blasted Ohio with Stalions on staff; however, Ohio's own coaches have publicly stated that they'd changed their signs specifically for that year's Michigan game.
In 2023 Ohio got 3-peated MONTHS after the signgate story broke.
This constant chirping from Ohio about Michigan "cheating" to beat them three years running is not merely factually inaccurate; it is indicative of a soft whiny culture at Ohio---the late great Wayne Woodrow Hayes NEVER whined or made excuses and must be rolling over in his grave. Man up boys.
If you dont think that Warde Manuel was the majority reason Harbaugh left the University of Michigan you do not know what you are talking about.
Issac which is the best website for buying Michigan Football 🏈 Tickets?
Nobody is looking at this beyond football. If the university went all in with Harbaugh & fired Ward, where is the basketball team right now? Does a fresh AD get Dusty May? Does a fresh AD make their first act to fire Juwan? If this AD keeps Harbaugh, Minter is still going to the NFL so who's the DC? Does Moore listen to other teams that might pick up the phone if he's not slated to be HC at Michigan any time soon?
Anybody who is down on Warde should at least look at what he has done since Harbaugh left. A+++ from what I have seen.
Regardless of what he’s done with staffing since he took over, his views on NIL are going to tank the football program. The whole thing about not paying high level recruits will render us irrelevant in the next few years. Ppl complained about our recruiting with Harbaugh here but at least he was inside the top 20 nearly every time. Now we won’t even crack the top 25 anymore.
Dude harbaugh was going to leave regardless because of the scandals and wanting to win a Super Bowl title one day. He was trying to go to the nfl since 2022. Warde isn’t the main reason sorry.
Warde Manuel is responsible for Michigan's program, okay, Isiah. Manuel is a dartomint implemente to Michigan sports. Manuel from NIL, which is going insanely left-sideways, being days & dollars short, also Michigan a school
net-equity worth behind Harvard, Stanford's recruiting department is an absolute joke. Michigan should have nothing the best. Are you aware that Alabama, Oregon, and Michigan have had no recruiting from the last- historical seasons?
And Isiah, we need a top 3-5 recruiting class. Actually, are you really kidding me? It is absolutely unacceptable and embarrassing. The problem with Manuel is whether it can be Michigan's boosters, but you need an AD who can convince them to invest in Michigan sports. Do you want to bet if Santa Ono gets Joe Castiglione that financially, in a year or two, Michigan recruiting will convert 180 top 3-5 recruiting classes in all
levels of Michigan sports program? That will equal an additional 50M-100M dollars with advertising for the school.
Besides the TV revenue from BTN, FoxSports, and ESPN. Feel me; Manuel is the type of AD that will suit em better
in schools like Central Michigan, & Miami Of, Ohio. Manuel even lifted a finger to help C-Moore get staff. Isiah wonders what Manuel does all day feel-me? Isiah, may you, if you are a veteran or a family member who served the country, thank you more than you can know. May you and your family have a fanstanic Memorial Weekend🫡 & always GOBLUE-NATTYUP🏆!
I'm a two time Michigan grad and 40 year season ticket holder. I support Warde Manuel 100%! Of course I support Jim Harbaugh too and was sorry to see him go. But I think Jim was tired of the politics in the NCAA, the NIL, endless recruiting and the transfer portal. I mean who wouldn't be after all those years? Warde has done a good job and has navigated Michigan Athletics through some turbulent times. People are always trying to gin up conspiracy theories with no basis.
Meatchicken is a cheating POS university!!!
Meh
No. This is a PR influenced move by harbaugh. He was out to nfl
He left because the NCAA was going to hit him with a “show cause” and he knew it. His college coaching days would be over.
They still might be.
🤡 show.
Stop with the stupid
Harbaugh loves to play the victim, like all narcissists do.
And he played his Alma Mater like a fiddle.😂
Harbough mostly left because he didnt want the punishment that is coming.
Harbaugh is about Harbaugh
He is not worth the energy
Yup I am one of those guys.
Michigan first. Which Harbaugh was never about
All parties happy now so move on from the past and concentrate on the present,because old news solves nothing life goes on.
@@edwinhargrave679
I agree. That was just me letting it out one last time. My apologies if I offended anyone. I wasn’t meaning to do that. But I did mean what I said.
And I have moved on since I wrote that. Maybe I should have done that when it first happened.
I do wish him well, and would love to see him play his brother again in a high stake game
Can we please stop acting like none of the coaches knew about Stallions.
Jesus H Isiah
You were WRONG
Admit it and move on - or OUT
