Coaching search? That means the return of Death March Madness, which won’t help matters (it might actually hurt) but it’ll keep you busy while you watch your Twitter feed like a freak.
The first round is over, here’s a look at the 2011 bracket and the results.
Bo Region Round 2:
1. John Harbaugh (Baltimore Ravens) — Sources close to John say that he may be interested in the Michigan job, should it ever open. He has ties to Ann Arbor, obviously and has a very Michigan heavy staff in Cam Cameron and Greg Mattison and his salary is definitely something Michigan can compete with. It sounds like he would be a very good college coach based on his personality.
vs.
6. K.C. Keeler (Delaware) — Tons of success at the FCS level. Great helmets. Won first in a romp (67%).

Bo Region Round 2:
2. Bob Stoops (Oklahoma) — His name consistently seems to come up with any major coaching search and well it should. Obviously he has had tremendous success at Oklahoma, can recruit and has Ohio roots. Not sure if he would ever entertain opportunities outside of Oklahoma but he was rumored to be interested in the Notre Dame opening.
vs.
3. Kyle Whittingham (Utah) — Urban Meyer disciple yet again — knock on Whittingham is that he inherited the program from Urban Meyer. His success has been strong but once again, he plays in a smaller conference. It will be interesting to see how he does next year in the Pac-12 to really solidify his coaching stock. Cruised in first round.

Thanks again to Christian Sack, (icefins26 on mgoblog, or guy who rocks the Zack Morris/AC Slater avatar) who drew up the seedings and prepared a quick summary of each candidate.
