It’s becoming increasingly evident on social media that Michigan fans want Warde Manuel, the school’s athletic director, fired as soon as possible.
On Thursday morning, Michigan president Santa Ono shared a photo of him preparing to speak at this year’s AAC&U Annual Meeting. Just about every response to this Twitter post from Ono had to do with Manuel.
To make a long story short, Michigan fans are worried Manuel will lose Jim Harbaugh to the NFL.
“Fire Warde,” one fan replied. “Extend Harbaugh.”
Another fan said, “Cool, fire Warde and sign Jim.”
“Get ready to lose another Hall of Fame head coach,” a third fan wrote. “It’s clear you aren’t what we thought you’d be for Michigan. You make sure you say all the right things but when it comes down to it you’re not much better than Warde Manuel.”
Here are some additional responses from Michigan fans :
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Los Angeles Chargers have Harbaugh at the top of their wish list . They already met earlier this week.
If the Wolverines want to keep Harbaugh in Ann Arbor, they’ll need to step up their offer.
