Wasn't that this kind of planned out. He was gonna leave Gilman go to Ann Arbor for a year or two then take over at SF.

Yes. The weird part is that he is taking over as HC at SFA. He was supposed to be more behind the scenes. Last years HC, who is staying on staff, has to be beyond pissed. Whatever Biff says goes, I guess...

Harbaugh's energy/antics and the competitive atmosphere around the program probably got him motivated to blow the whistle again.

Maybe they fattened his pockets to have less of a workload...

He can't be too pissed, or he would not have stayed with the program.

If you know Biff you know he's way too egotistical to ever be an assistant at the HS level. 

His assistants cant complain, a lot of them have cushy jobs at his wife's company thanks to him. Biff's net worth is at least eight figures. 

Saint Frances is a totally different situation than Gilman. Gilman is a blue-blood academically elite college prep school with an admissions rate around 10% that requires you to both have good grades and score well on the ISEE (prep school version of the SAT) to get in. Gilman always had a ceiling because of that.

Saint Frances is a school with zero academic standards to get in. No admissions test, no minimum GPA. The only ceiling on SFA is their location right next to the city jail in a bad part of Baltimore. With Poggi's money and lack of morals and SFA's lack of academic standards the sky is the limit. 

The rest of the MD private schools are already fed up with them though. A DeMatha coach said off the record that they'd rather play IMG than Saint Frances at this point. The other schools in the MIAA A Conference are trying to get SFA kicked out of the league as well.

Money isn't an issue with any of those guys. I'm pretty sure most of the staff works for free. SFA, as a school, was on life support and barely funded by the Baltimore archdiocese before this crew walked in.

DM won't play SFA because one of SFA's coordinators(I'm sure you know who) won't shut his mouth with calling DM out. DeMatha has always had a unwritten school rule where you get blackballed as soon as you start trash talking to get a game. It goes back to John Thompson II calling out Morgan Wootten as a racist in the 60's and 70's.
