There continues to be talk about Ben Herbert and what he plans to do, as Jim Harbaugh is trying to assemble his staff in Los Angeles.
There has been some conjecture and discussion about Herbert's immediate moves and I have asked multiple people with knowledge of the situation about what's going on.
This is what we're hearing:
- We HAVE NOT heard that Herbert has informed anyone at Michigan that he's leaving.
- Multiple people feel confident that Herbert plans to stay in Ann Arbor, even with Sherrone Moore discussing on Saturday that he feels 'encouraged' about Herbert staying around. I know Herbert being there isn't the ultimate sign that he's staying but it certainly meant a lot to him.
- On the LA side, someone I spoke with who is joining Jim in LA HAS NOT heard that Herbert is joining the staff as of last night and didn't seem confident that a decision was either on the table or incoming.
- I do expect Harbaugh to put up a fight to bring his guy with him to LA. I'm not sure what LA can offer, or what Harbaugh is telling Herbert, but he is certainly going to do whatever he can. Harbaugh was challenging LA to give him enough money to bring him.
Could Herbert leave? Certainly, that's not off the table, but we have yet to hear anything is imminent.
That could change, of course.
