He hasn't met expectations there. Yet.
But who could they get that is better? If you are a prisoner of the moment type of guy, this is a horrible move for Michigan. Big picture guy? Let the Michigan guy simmer and give him a few more years.
He has proven himself to be a very good coach. Everywhere he has been before this job he has won. San Diego. Stanford. Stanford? They sucked forever before he got there.
Took the Niners to a Super Bowl. With Kaep? LOL. That's pretty damn impressive to do that.. You would agree if you are being honest and know football.
He just hasn't been the savior that UM faithful was hoping he would be. Yet.

He's won anywhere he has been as a coach. Before this season (which is an outlier), he's 47-18 at Michigan. That's basically an average of 9-3 every year. If you look historically at the UM program? That's pretty much what they are. A 9-10 win team.
Say what you want about lights on or too bright or whatever. But facts are facts. He's proven to be a good coach over his career. And Michigan has done MUCH worse. Especially in the recent past.
This is not a horrible move to give him a 2-3 more years to see if he can get over the hump and finally beat OSU.
I don't even know where this is going. But it's heading in a dumb direction. If not already there. I'm gonna eject.
Take the sarcasm and fun out of my posts. And I'll still stick by Jimbo. So put me on record. I'm buying stock in Jimmy and Wentz. Buying at the bottom of both.
If I hit on one I'll be good. cockingasnook()
Yep. The problem is that Michigan fans live in an alternate reality where they think they are a blue bood college football program, in the same class as Alabama and Ohio State. That's just simply not the case.
Michigan used to be a juggernaut, but they have not adapted to the changing college football landscape. Ohio State fundamentally changed how it recruited -- to try and compete with the faster, more athletic schools in the South. That's why you've seen them be so dominant in recent years....they were always good, but they found out that playing slow, ugly meat & potatoes style football and locking up Indiana and Michigan recuirts doesn't win on the national stage. So they changed.
The problem with Harbaugh is he is not willing to adapt either...very much an old school philsophy type of coach. He can keep churning out 9-3 and 10-2 years all he wants....it won't be enough to satisfy an irrational fan base or beat Ohio State.
Harbaugh was signed to be an elite coach, not a good coach. I simply don't understand why anyone at Michigan can be happy with a coach that has lost 4 bowl games in a row. At some point you need to accept the fact that he taken the program as far as he's going to. Time for some new blood. It was dumb to rehire him (and certainly not for the type of money he's making... he's simply not worth it).
