GOTZ YA...dude really wrote a whole article off of Stugotz dumbass, I guess the new timeslot is working
ESPN Radio host calls it: Jim Harbaugh to coach Indianapolis Colts
This is kind of ... scratch that. It's reallyridiculous.
But ESPN Radio's Jon (Stugotz) Weiner flat-out said on "The Dan Le Batard Show" that Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh is going to be the next coach of the Indianapolis Colts, where Chuck Pagano is in trouble after just two games.
You know, now that Harbaugh has U-M back on top, his work in Ann Arbor apparently is done.
"I pride myself on seeing things before others see it, and I'm telling you right now, he is going to break Michigan's heart," Stugotz said. "I'm telling you, Chuck Pagano is out at Indianapolis. There is no way Jim Harbaugh is going to pass up the chance to, a.) get back in the NFL, and b.) coach Andrew Luck in the NFL.
"Jim Harbaugh, next season, will be the Colts' head coach."

Of course, it's just radio chatter with no inside knowledge or basis in fact, and it was greeted with laughter in the studio, from Le Batard and the Miami Herald's Greg Cote.
But it comes after profootballtalk.com started the ball rolling while the Colts were losing on "Monday Night Football," tweeting: "Is there a dollar figure for which Jim Harbaugh would leave Michigan for the Colts after one year, and would Jim Irsay offer it?"
And rumors linking Harbaugh to NFL jobs aren't going to go away as long as he's at U-M. It's like Michigan State's Tom Izzo and the NBA, the difference being that Harbaugh has proved he can coach in the NFL.
"Yeah, it's definitely possible, because if he continues to have success at the college game, which I anticipate is going to happen ... he's going to continue to get looks," analyst Derek Rackley said of the Harbaugh-NFL infatuation at msn.com.
"He's always going to get looks because he had a ton of success when he was in the National Football League with the 49ers. ... And he didn't go out because he was coaching a bad football team. He went out because of differences between he and the front office."

Could Harbaugh Head to Indy?
Yeah, Harbaugh had his problems with 49ers owner Jed York and general manager Trent Baalke. And David Fucillo of sbnation.com compares it to the Colts' current dynamic with Pagano, Irsay and GM Ryan Grigson.
"It is not an apples-to-apples comparison because I think Jim Harbaugh is a better coach than Chuck Pagano, but it is certainly a thing at this point," Fucillo writes. "... This Colts situation may bring us full circle on Harbaugh. This is just one tweet, but if the Colts struggles continue, you just know Harbaugh's name is going to show up in the mix for the Colts job."
The reason Harbaugh seems like a good fit for the Colts is that Harbaugh was their quarterback before Peyton Manning, back in 1994-97, and the QB he coached at Stanford, Luck, succeeded Manning.
So if Pagano is out, as expected, and owner Irsay wants a big-name replacement, as has been reported, Harbaugh fills the bill.
On the other hand, if Irsay wants to poach one of our guys, a "name" coach with Colts ties, what about the Detroit Lions' Jim Caldwell, who took them to Super Bowl XLVIII?
