Michigan going after Chad Bowden..

[dublinirish]

What’s stopping Freeman from doing the same thing?

Butler Benton is effectively already the program GM though?

Didn’t realize we already had someone like that

This feels like a shake down. Nobody pays a lot for a guy who dresses up as a leprechaun in January

 

[INLaw]

I just want him paid and this story to go away. I have said a hundred times no one with a choice is going to michigan with the sword of damacles swinging

 

[CanadalovesND]

Huh?

I don't recall stuttering.

 

[stlnd01]

So I did think I read somewhere him and Moore played college ball together…. Am I mistaken??

Moore played at Oklahoma. From reading this (excellent if lengthy) piece about Bowden's relationship with Jac Collinsworth - who he is friends with from high school - it's not even clear that Bowden ever went to college. He certainly didn't play at Oklahoma.

Also Chad Bowden is the son of baseball exec Jim Bowden? Who knew!

Update. Here's Part Two. Sounds like he did attend Cincinnati for college, which is how he met Freeman.

Tyler from Rivals is also hedging a bit saying this isn’t over yet. Sam saying if they don’t land Bowden, they’ll push for Iowa State’s Director of Personnel, but Bowden is the #1 option and waiting for him to accept or decline.

Pivoting from Chad to known recruiting powerhouse Iowa State. Nice.

Mods, can this to the Chad Bowden appreciation thread? Guy works his ass off in the most insane era of recruiting

 

[Free Manera]

I stand by my position yesterday that this whole thing was to get more resources from ND and then drop I'mNotFuckinLeavin.gif all over Michigan's face

 

[Katzenboyer]

Huge.

 

[ColinKSU]

Kiss the greenest part of my ass, Michigan.

 

[SoIll]

What you think his salary actually is? 500k?

 

[Sea Turtle]

It's interesting.

 

[Riddickulous]

Missed opportunity for a "he left because Freeman wouldn't jump out of a helicopter" joke but this is much better.

If it was it's a million now

 

[irishnd31]

It's interesting.

The same EJ Holland who said ND's recruiting tactics were corny...

From the article:

During the AFCA Convention earlier this month in Nashville, at FootballScoop's annual meet-and-greet, peer personnel leaders from college football shared with FootballScoop that Bowden had emerged on the radar of some SEC programs in need of new personnel direction, with one source directly telling FootballScoop, "We have to pay attention now to who Notre Dame is recruiting. We didn't used to have to do that."


The executive credited that awareness to the Bowden-Freeman duo.

 

[greyhammer90]

So in Brice's article it says Bowden was taught how to recruit by Brian Mason...

I think Mason might be the most competent coach we've ever hired

I'd get to a doctor if I were you.

Or a bathtub.
