Michigan Monday: Alex Boone Changes his Mind

Once a buckeye always a buckeye.   Hard to believe Alex Boone and his support/non-support for his former head coach at SF.  

When Jimmy was his head coach he said this: (October)

“I’m really kind of sick of everybody talking about my coach, especially because he’s like a brother to me,” Boone told reporters after a game in October 2014.  “So if I were everybody I’d just keep their mouth shut because they don’t want me coming after them. Especially Jay Glazer, Deion, all these guys. I’m kind of sick of it. Leave my coach alone.”

Asked why reporters were questioning Harbaugh’s future at the time, Boone said, “Because they’re losers.”

Now recently to Real Sports:

“He does a great job of giving you that spark, that initial boom,” Boone explains.  “But after a while, you just want to kick his ass. . . .  He just keeps pushing you, and you’re like, ‘Dude, we got over the mountain.  Stop.  Let go.’  He kind of wore out his welcome. . . .

“I think he just pushed guys too far.  He wanted too much, demanded too much, expected too much.  You know, ‘We gotta go out and do this.  We gotta go out and do this.  We gotta go out and do this.’  And you’d be like, ‘This guy might be clinically insane.  He’s crazy.’ . . .  I think that if you’re stuck in your ways enough, eventually people are just going to say, ‘Listen, we just can’t work with this.’”


So which is it Alex?  Funny how his tone changed as soon as Jimmy took a job with his college rival.   This also isn't breaking news, we knew Jimmy's coaching style is geared toward college then the NFL.   He is more Bo then Joe Gibbs.    I understand these guys are making big dollars and don't want to listen to a coach, but those comments sound lazy and from the type of guy that is there to pick up a pay check instead of championship rings.

• Michigan picked up it's first 2017 commit when Carter Dunaway pulled the trigger for the Wolverines on Friday.  Carter is a 6'6 225 pound TE and played HS football with Grant Perry and Alex Malzone.   He is also a legacy recruit, as his did Craig played at Michigan and his brother Jack is about to walk-on.
