I don't think his heart is totally with scum or else he wouldn't be interviewing for all these NFL jobs the last couple years.. it's called: he interviewed and didn't get the jobs so he has to stay put.
I agree with everything you said, but as long as he is kicking our ass, which he is, we don't really have the equity to shit on him. we blow em out in '23, let the gates open...
It’s the same every year. He leaks info that so and so NFL team is interested in him in hopes of generating buzz and an offer. Then, once it turns out no one wants him, he goes back to UM and claims he was never interested in the NFL in the first place.
Why on earth would this be good? Harbaugh is a better coach than Ryan Day. He's proven that. He has far more experience and it shows. The guys been a winner everywhere he's been. Harbaugh has flipped the rivalry now. We were the kings of the B1G for many years, not any more. Nothing good about him staying. He'll continue to smack Day for as long as he's there.
Ugh, it pains me to give Harbaugh/Michigan compliments. Puke. But it's true.
At this time, Harbaugh leaving. He’s winning and things are trending up there. Not as much here. Day can certainly get things turned around quickly but have to call the score what it is at the moment.
Disagree.... we gave GA everything they could handle in their own backyard with everything stacked against us even before the game began, and then more so when it did.
They got their hat handed to them by TCU, who promptly got thrashed by GA....
Yes if we play aggressively we win the GAME, and I think a lesson was learned by the way we played against GA
"Captain, over here, I've found someth... AHHHH!!!!!!"
Agree!! Come conference and CFP championship games, every team should be top notch and ready for the stiff competition. I believe TCU earned their way to play in the CFP, they just didn’t play well in their final game, just as we didn’t play well in the conference championship. We must be thoroughly prepped at the end of season.
Agree, it's on Day at present - and I'm expecting him to affect the change(s) we're all hoping for.
I want Harbaugh back on the other side of the hill for my own fulfillment before he heads back to Sunday ball (I do think that's a given for him at some point).
"Character, like a photograph, develops in darkness." - Yousuf Karsh
It’s not good and I agree with some of your statements. The idea that Harbaugh is somehow not a good coach was stupid 5 years ago and is today as well. Michigan is the new #1 in the B1G. I’m not sold that he’s got it in the bag, but it’s certainly not good that he’s still here. Next year is going to be tough in AA and we might be dogs there for the first time since 2011.
Ttun’s offense wobbled mightily in 5 of their their games. We did too in 3.5 games (counting penn state as half ) simply ,, our defense came far in Knowles first year but not far enough. And we over committed to stopping their run and didn’t adjust to the jj McCarthy deep game. Embarrassing. Day/Knowles need to own that so we have a speedy recovery to beating their 3 star asses again. Our recruiting will depend on it.
Thanks god Day isn’t fishing the nfl every off season.
We have the better program by far and should have the defense to finally get the late November/ December match ups figured out.
Finally, Our game v Georgia was a better indication of progress than the Rose Bowl last year imho. I can re watch 3.5 quarters of that game again and again.
Go Bucks
The last 2 seasons has been the most successful for his current position, prior to that I would hardly say he was pictured as a "winner" at scUM. He's what, 2-7 against his main rival? What's his record vs PSU and MSU? Covid saved him from being fired in 2020.
He was pretty much Lloyd Carr outside of 1997 but not successful against Ohio State. Lloyd also wasn’t facing the Ohio State teams Harbaugh was though either. He pretty much had them where they’d been prior to Rich Rod.
Yep. He caught one of the luckiest breaks in history from COVID. If he had to play the full season in 2020 instead of being f able to pick and choose which opponents to duck, he would have been canned for sure.
Harbaugh is basically John Cooper. 0-6 in bowl games, 2-6 vs the rival. Ryan just needs to get that defense figured out now and the ship will be righted.
Any time you give a man something he doesn't earn, you cheapen him. Our kids earn what they get, and that includes respect - Woody Hayes
I do not believe a word he says about loyalty but it's fun to watch him say it. I kinda wanted him to leave because I think he's got the program dialed in to be a nemesis to us, and I think a new coach would have to take a couple of years to get the personnel he needs for his system.
I feel the opposite. He definitely has the trajectory of the program moving upward, but I feared the right, young coaching hire could couple that with elite recruiting…Then it could be long term trouble for us.
you know...I think the Peach bowl showed us that if he just gets out of his own way the team is more than capable of winning in AA next year. They have to play every game like they played that game (along with the defense playing better.)
Unsure why anyone would want to play for him. Of course most players choose a school because of the position coach they will be working with, more than the head coach. I mean the state up north is even colder than Ohio. Why anyone from down south would want to come up north for college football is beyond me. At least from a WR's standpoint, he knows the NFL is a good possibility due to Hartline's coaching.
Maybe some year, while Hairball is still there, the Bucks can get back on the winning track.
Harbaugh has been a winner everywhere he's been including the NFL, unlike many other coaches. His players come up to him during press conferences and tell him that they love him. Can you possibly imagine that happening with Saban, for instance? He gave his entire $2 million dollar bonus money to the U of M staff that was laid off or salary-reduced because of Covid.
And be candid, Michigan is one of the top Universities on the planet, so the degree means a lot. Now that we are engaging in NIL in a more serious fashion, Michigan is trouble for virtually all CFB teams.
Like arrows in the hand of a mighty warrior, so are the children of one's youth. Happy is the man whose quiver is full, he shall not be afraid, but shall speak with the enemies at the gate. Psalm 127
Many failures? Just beat OSU, again. Beat sparty, again. Won the B10, again. And not a cheater.
Was a winner as a player in high school, college (beat OSU a lot), and in the pros. As a coach he's taken USD from nothing to the top of D-II. Took Stanford from a joke to #4 and along the way accomplished the single biggest upset in D-I history, beating USC as a 45 pt. dog. Took the Niners from nothing to 3 straight NFC Championship games and a Super Bowl. And now he's made Michigan a winner.
So tell me, who has a resume like that? Saban or Urban? Not as players, never even sniffed the NFL. As coaches? Of course did well in college with rampant cheating, but got their heads handed to them in the pros when the cheating wasn't available.
Like arrows in the hand of a mighty warrior, so are the children of one's youth. Happy is the man whose quiver is full, he shall not be afraid, but shall speak with the enemies at the gate. Psalm 127
UM just suspended his co-offensive coordinator for "computer access crimes"...? Matt Weiss, who came over to TTUN from the Baltimore Ravens, and also used to be on Jimmy's staff at Stanford.
It doesn't sound like it's directly on Harbaugh, but like the Zack Smith debacle, it will reflect on the program and give Harbaugh headaches.
More to follow, I'm sure, but whatever it is it involves the UM campus police and Weiss is under suspension.
Besides 2 BIG championships what has Harbaugh actually won? Nothing. He lost the SB. He's lost every bowl game. He lost every college playoff game and he has a 2-5 record against his biggest rival. He was so successful that his employer cut his salary. He ran away from Ohio State in 2020. He's also under investigation for cheating with recruiting. He begs NFL teams every year to hire him and gets told no every year. Why would that happen with his amazing NFL record? Because he's a loon that destroys every relationship. This year with his supposed great team he harbaughed and choked against a Big 12 runner up that lost the nc by 1,000 points.
Quiverfull, to my chagrin all but one of your points is accurate. Regarding the biggest upset in D1 history, that title goes to I-AA Appalachian State beating #5 Michigan in the Big House. Sorry, I’m clinging to anything I can.
- Harbaugh: 0 championships (CFB or NFL), 0-5 vs. Urban/Saban
The delusion of a *ichigan Man knows no bounds. And of course, in traditional fashion, the *ichigan Man has to throw in the usual "b-but cheating!!". I'm sure NO ONE saw that coming!
You should ask players like Jaxon Smith-Njigba (Tx), Steele Chambers (Ga.), and Noah Ruggles (Fla.) why they would come up north to play college football.
Exactly. Nothing about him says "effective communicator". It's easy to make a case that he's a good coach, but it's impossible to make a case that he's not a weirdo. I can't imagine that he interviews well.
Harbaugh and Michigan are both so extremely pathetic. Harbaugh because he can't find an NFL job despite his repeated best efforts and Michigan because they're willing to overlook the fact that Harbaugh absolutely does NOT want to be there and yet they won't tell him to fuck off for not being committed to the job.
This pretty much sums it up, along with their frankly pretty sad attempts to talk shit, bragging about winning the B1G like everyone hasn't seen them bin it in the playoff two years running. I guess that's what 2+ decades of mediocrity gets you.
Hahaha ..... Hairball's biggest mistake, if he wanted to get an NFL job, was to do an interview with a team - just talking with him makes you realize he's nuts ....
I am not connected to the Michigan program. I have no information on what went on behind the scenes. However, I can easily believe that after the last two years, Harbaugh has a fair amount of leverage which he wanted to use to his advantage and the program's advantage. I have read, and could believe, that Harbaugh wants an increase in salaries for his coaching staff, wants more work done on NIL, wants Michigan to be able to accept more transfers (in terms of the admissions department hurdles Michigan faces,) and wants to know he has the administration's backing with the NCAA.
I feel better about Michigan's program than I've felt in many years. I think Alabama, Georgia, Texas A&M, Florida, Auburn, Clemson, OSU and several other schools have significant institutional advantages over Michigan. Because of that, I think it is virtually impossible for Michigan to find and retain a better coach who is a better fit than Harbaugh is at Michigan.
Hairball is the perfect coach for TTUN. The fact that he is arrogant enough to go fishing for any NFL job and come back demanding a raise is a classic “Michigan Man” move.
Harbaugh wants five players from MSU jailed with felony assault charges. Harbaugh wants to play an antisemitic by giving him the penance of having him visit a Holocaust center sometime in 2023. Harbaugh wants the county prosecutor to dismiss charges against one of his team captains who admitted to violating Michigans conceal carry law. Harbaugh wants no consequences for said player and therefore played him in end of season games and post season games.
Harbaugh wants Buckeyeupnorth to simmer down a bit. To wit, Coach Harbaugh asked me to respond for him:
1. All East Landfill A & M folks are felons, or suspected felons, or will be felons, or are felons in their thoughts if not deeds.
2. He will visit, but first he has to finish his team punishment of wind sprints. I hear he's still doing them at Satellite Field, and his family really missed him at Christmas.
3. Mr. Smith was simply exercising his Second Amendment right without his government paperwork that was in processing anyway as it was.
4. See #3. I also heard that no one died nor did he brandish his iron so there was no further reason to suspend him.
NOBODY in the NFL with brains will take a chance on fruit loop hairball but he is using his leverage on mich. Here goes the old Harvard of the west bullshit. Nothing different between OSU and mich. on standards and has been proven over the years that mich. can and will get anybody in for either football or basketball. Reference the fab 5 lol.
To be fair, Gary has a pretty significant learning disability and puts a ton of time and money into programs supporting kids with learning disabilities.
Harbaugh has a fair amount of leverage which he wanted to use to his advantage and the program's advantage. I have read, and could believe, that Harbaugh wants an increase in salaries for his coaching staff, wants more work done on NIL, wants Michigan to be able to accept more transfers (in terms of the admissions department hurdles Michigan faces,) and wants to know he has the administration's backing with the NCAA.
What admissions "hurdles" could athletes possibly face at UM? Desmond Howard was not only admitted to UM, he graduated. If Desmond has a triple-digit IQ I'll eat a shoe. They're willing to let pretty much anyone (*cough* Juwan Howard *cough* Mazi Smith) come to UM and stay as long as it suits their purposes. This narrative that UM is nearly impossible to get into is a joke, especially for scholarship athletes.
I do think he's legitimately wanted to move to the NFL the last two offseasons. But he hasn't had any takers. Based on everything I've seen and heard the last couple of years, it seems openly accepted that he can be more than a bit awkward/jarring/off-putting if you don't already know him well. I suspect that can be a hard sell when it's been several years since he was in the NFL and there are always several qualified candidates to be NFL HCs.
I also don't blame him: think being an NFL HC would be more appealing than college in this current environment. And I think his strengths probably most closely align with an NFL HC role.
Though I can't say I'd be too thrilled if I were Michigan about his public solicitation of job offers every offseason. Think that's probably already gotten old for all involved.
Completely unrelated note: I didn't know Ono was UM's Prez. He used to be the head to Cincinnati. Always seemed like a nice, capable guy.
I think Harbaugh has zero leverage and has totally misplayed his very recent success. By threatening to leave the last 2 years with NFL teams collectively saying no thanks, Harbaugh has destroyed his only bargaining chip. Horribly played by him.
Blufan, it is fucking hilarious that your team went from the 2-4 covid year just a couple of seasons ago to now cracking the playoffs 2 years in a row, winless in those games btw, and suddenly your fellow delusional fans go from calling scUM a basketball school to acting like y'all are the team to beat and the last 20 plus years never happened, you are the worst fans on the face of this planet, just fyi.
I think some of Harbaugh's biggest enemies are within the Michigan system itself. I think some of these power-plays are to keep them in line, to the benefit of the football program.
I'm in the minority, here, but I think Harbaugh is borderline genius and he's looking at the bigger picture and charting the course for the future of CFB.
He's a goofball but he's managed to develop talent the last few years. Embarrassing losing to them 2 years in a row with the talent disparity. OSU was #2 in blue chip ratio and UM was #12. Also, curious to see what penalties NCAA will impose on him for lying to them.
I think the NCAA is ticked he told them to go urinate up a rope when they tried to talk with him about a $10 tip for some cheeseburgers, meanwhile programs like OSU's (tatoos, cars, jewelry, cash, lying coaches), UNC (18 years of academic fraud), Arizona and Kentucky (coaches caught on tape buying players) and the entire SEC get virtually nothing despite horrendous 'records'.
No wonder he told them to get the blank out of his office.
Like arrows in the hand of a mighty warrior, so are the children of one's youth. Happy is the man whose quiver is full, he shall not be afraid, but shall speak with the enemies at the gate. Psalm 127
All he had do was tell the truth. Everything you accuse of OSU doing would be "legal" in the NCAA's eyes now (btw, got proof?). Tressel got the heat from the NCAA because he lied to them. Nowhere does it say in the NCAA guidelines and rules that what a coach lies about matters. As long as a coach lies to an investigator that coach is deemed to have commit a "sin" in the NCAA's eyes.
He didn't lie. He told them to leave and said, in effect, 'When you start enforcing the rules against schools like OSU, the SEC, etc, then we can talk about my $10 tip'. Seems about right.
Like arrows in the hand of a mighty warrior, so are the children of one's youth. Happy is the man whose quiver is full, he shall not be afraid, but shall speak with the enemies at the gate. Psalm 127
You guys have to be crazy not to understand what is going on here, he was asked and accepted a pay cut after the 2020 season, that last two years he has won the BIG, made the playoffs and beat us pretty handily, he has all the leverage here and is posturing for his money back, does he want to be back in the NFL most likely but not this year not with the team they have coming back next year, I would say they will probably start the season ranked 2nd and will be favored in every game they play. If he wins the championship next year would be the year he takes off.
That's a good analogy, Nap......Hairball is a Michigan Man and he idolizes Bo. He wants to have a long, successful career, like his idol. All these forays into the NFL build his warped ego and reinforce to him that he is an elite coach who is wanted by the pros. Blake Corum re-upping for 2023 was a sign that Crazy Jimmy is going to stay around.
Worst of all about Bo is that he’d threaten to send underperforming players to Dr. Anderson for “an examination” knowing the doctor’s reputation. It’s beyond disgusting. Everyone knew too. Jim Harbaugh is a Dr. Anderson denier too. He says Bo’s son and countless former teammates are lying. Jim Harbaugh is a massive piece of shit.
Agreed, if this was MSU they would have hunted down everyone associated. There are a bunch of assistant coaches who were aware of Dr. Anderson but did nothing, Including Jimmy's Dad. Of course, the papers stopped reporting on it and it just goes away.
Harbaugh threatening to leave Michigan for the NFL is like me threatening to leave my wife for a 20 year old Swedish swimsuit model if I don't get my way on everything.
He was never going back to the NFL and this was nothing more than a ploy to get back the money when he restructured his contract a couple years ago. Like I said before he's reached his ceiling at Michigan and that's winning a Big Ten championship
Totally agree with your post. Harbaugh fucking with the university to get his 8 million dollar salary back he was forced to give up three or four years ago. He never had any intentions to go back to the NFL.
Well, let's send him out on a low note. I have to think that he was absolutely gone until he got embarrassed by TCU then TCU got absolutely OBLITERATED by Georgia in the worst loss in a major football game in the modern era of football.
TTUN will be 10-1 at worst when they welcome our Buckeyes into Ann Arbor. Their OOC schedule is another joke once again this coming season. The only game they could possibly lose before The Game would be at PSU. If he didn't get a huge pay raise this season, he most likely get it after next season if he beats our Buckeyes and wins another B1G championship. Gotta beat Blue next season. Just gotta.
I like the part where Harbaugh says he called the Broncos to tell them he has decided to stay at Michigan. Sure Jim, sure. Dollars to donuts be came off as completely aloof during his interview there.
It's telling that he mentioned President Ono but not the AD, Warde Manuel. He and Warde have been at odds the last couple of weeks. I will post the link later once I find it.
Unfortunately, I can't find it, but basically they told him they were going to make him one of the highest paid coaches in the B1Gc at 9M+/year, but after the NCAA allegations against him and the program came out, Manuel was hesitant and lowered the offer to somewhere in the $7M range. Harbaugh was not happy and felt unwanted, and it wasn't until President Ono stepped in and intervened and said to pay him what he's worth that Harbaugh was appeased and reconsidered about staying.
Harbaugh negotiated a new five year contract last year that moved him back to $7M and included performance bonuses. His contract as a state employee is reviewed and approved by U of M board of Reagents who are elected by the citizenry of Michigan. The president can’t just say “pay him what he wants”
I may be in the minority, but I was hoping to see him go. He’s not a great coach, but his brother is supplying him with NFL assistants, which is causing the team to play much better.
Unless there are a plethora of injuries in key positions for SCUM, I see Ryan Day going 1-3 against them.
@Buckeyeman17, Johnny Harbaugh carries Jimmy Harbaugh with his coaches. Day and staff need to get better with the red zone offense. Defense needs to eliminate half of those big plays down to 2-3 a game. Knowles philosophy allowing 5 to 7 big plays a game doesn't work against a good to great team. Ann Arbor will be a pain the arse to play next season. This might be a difficult year rebuilding the offensive line and new quarterbacks starting for this team. Buckeyes might need a more mobile QB next season to be successful.
Right there with you, Day is going to be an underdog in that game next year and we will see what he can come up with in that scenario, I will have to see a lot more from the coaching staff than what I saw this year.
He's a good coach. He's flipped the rivalry and is smacking Ryan Day around every chance he gets.
I remember when Harbaugh was at Stanford, he'd give Pete Carrol's uber talented USC teams loaded with 5-star recruits fits. He'd beat them often with inferior talent. Then he took a team to the super bowl. Yeah, he has experience and is a good coach. As much as it pains me to admit this.
Glad that Jimmy is back. His awkwardness, fear of chickens, sleepovers with recruits and dedication to khakis makes him the perfect villain and foil in our story.
He likes reading headlines of himself. Probably pauses it so he can gather the family around and show them his name as it scrolls across the bottom of the TV.
We are confident enough to let Jimmy go out and talk to other girls, but we know he'll be back.
Jimmy is a simple man who just wants his contract made right, which our new University president is making happen in short order. Santa Ono is the first University president we've had in my living memory who understands the importance of having a successful football team for the overall welfare and image of the University.
You're right, they probably did! But he had to go back home somewhere after last call, so here we are and glad to have him back. We're made for each other!
My aim, then, is to whip the Weasels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom. - William Tecumseh Sherman (with apologies)
Browns fans are probably fortunate that they haven’t had a HC job opening yet while Jimmy has been stumping for an NFL gig.
Their owner has the right combination of high desperation and low IQ that it requires to hire a coach like Jimmy in the NFL. I could definitely see Haslem making a move like that just like he did with drafting Johnny Football.
There’s a good chance that this will be the last year for Kevin Stefanski In Cleveland so I wouldn’t be surprised if Jimmy didn’t end up with the Browns in 2024. That franchise has been a horrible mess for 20+ years but Harbaugh would probably happily accept it just to be out of Ann Arbor
Harbaugh informed Michigan president Santa Ono on Monday afternoon that he will remain with the Wolverines.
It seems odd to me that JH called Ono rather than AD Warde Manuel. There was also some scuttlebutt about donors wanting to create an open NIL pool to be spread about the football program and Manuel balked at it. I am beginning to get the sense there is a bit of a disagreement between JH & Manuel about how to best move forward with with the changing landscape of CFB. I'm guessing in the near future of these two will need to move on. If Manuel is holding back NIL, my hope is he doesn't stay at UM because it will severely hurt recruiting as time goes on. Then again, I'd also have to believe that NIL helped get back Corum, Zinter, Keegan, etc. for their senior year's. It's a weird world in CFB these days.
That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
I genuinely do not understand people's happiness at seeing this news. He's clearly a good coach and has turned their program around in the last 2 years. They've beaten us twice in a row and have won the B1G twice in a row. They have consistently dominant O-line and RB play. The players love playing for him. Their recruiting isn't elite, but they certainly develop guys well. He's outcoached us in-game the last two years. Why on earth would we want him to stay? I want revenge against him just like all of you, but more than that I want to win. And Harbaugh staying makes that less likely. What am I missing here?

Sarah Feuerborn Harbaugh, come on down--you're the next contestant on "What am I Missing Here"!!!
Turned what around? Dominant Rb and Line Play? We saw against TCU this year and Sparty last year that they are the same old Michigan! If they can out physical you they can beat you! For goodness sake they should have lost to Illinois at home had the officials not bailed them out. Did you ever think that maybe Ryan Day needs to start playing Ohio State Football? And start putting a Physical Defense back on the field? Day Lost to Michigan because he allowed them to play their brand of game and we looked weak! Hairball hasn’t changed Ohio State has and now we are scared!!
All I know is Day has 312 days to figure it out because anything less than a victory is unacceptable period. I don’t want to hear about a new QB, injuries or the refs. Tressel took a train wreck of a team to AA his first year and the rest is history.
I think it's possible he may have just done the whole flirting with the NFL thing to bargain for an assurance from the University that he wouldn't be facing any University initiated penalties or punishments on top of whatever the NCAA does.
I think that scum will back hairball to the max on any of these violations. They now have to. It will be deny,deny and minimize until the NCAA just says "naughty boy" and don't do it again. Gene Smith would roll over and say beat us with a rod and give us the stiffest penalties because we deserve it to just make OSU super clean.
If you commit a violation you better tell the truth about it! If you don’t you are a liar just like Hairball! That‘s what wrong with this country now Liberals do not believe Rules Laws or Borders and Hairball is the Little Liberal boy we all know!
When a coach announces first, “He plans to enthusiastically be coaching at scUM in 2023”. Then tells the team he defiantly will return to coach scUM in 2023”. It may be me but he sounds like a lying idiot!! We know he is an idiot! Coach Day better kick his ass next year!!

I don't think his heart is totally with scum or else he wouldn't be interviewing for all these NFL jobs the last couple years.. it's called: he interviewed and didn't get the jobs so he has to stay put.
Basically lol making it sound like he turned the NFL jobs down..what a tool
Let the suspension and post season ban begin.
I think I’d rather see vacating of wins.
Why not both?
Someone who flirts that much will eventually cheat. Probably not the ideal situation to jump ship just yet.
I agree with everything you said, but as long as he is kicking our ass, which he is, we don't really have the equity to shit on him. we blow em out in '23, let the gates open...
Die Living // PT*42
It’s the same every year. He leaks info that so and so NFL team is interested in him in hopes of generating buzz and an offer. Then, once it turns out no one wants him, he goes back to UM and claims he was never interested in the NFL in the first place.
He’s a liar and a scumbag.
Good.
Go Buckeyes.

Why on earth would this be good? Harbaugh is a better coach than Ryan Day. He's proven that. He has far more experience and it shows. The guys been a winner everywhere he's been. Harbaugh has flipped the rivalry now. We were the kings of the B1G for many years, not any more. Nothing good about him staying. He'll continue to smack Day for as long as he's there.
Ugh, it pains me to give Harbaugh/Michigan compliments. Puke. But it's true.
So is it Harbaugh or Day leaving that gives Ohio State a chance to right the ship?
I'll explain - no compliments given. I want Harbaugh and that program together when the wrongs are corrected.
"Character, like a photograph, develops in darkness." - Yousuf Karsh

At this time, Harbaugh leaving. He’s winning and things are trending up there. Not as much here. Day can certainly get things turned around quickly but have to call the score what it is at the moment.
Disagree.... we gave GA everything they could handle in their own backyard with everything stacked against us even before the game began, and then more so when it did.

"Captain, over here, I've found someth... AHHHH!!!!!!"
Except football is a matchup game. My opinion, but TTUN was built to beat us. We were built to beat UGA/Bama.
You are entitled to you own opinion, not your own facts.
Agree!! Come conference and CFP championship games, every team should be top notch and ready for the stiff competition. I believe TCU earned their way to play in the CFP, they just didn’t play well in their final game, just as we didn’t play well in the conference championship. We must be thoroughly prepped at the end of season.
Agree, it's on Day at present - and I'm expecting him to affect the change(s) we're all hoping for.
I want Harbaugh back on the other side of the hill for my own fulfillment before he heads back to Sunday ball (I do think that's a given for him at some point).
"Character, like a photograph, develops in darkness." - Yousuf Karsh

It’s not good and I agree with some of your statements. The idea that Harbaugh is somehow not a good coach was stupid 5 years ago and is today as well. Michigan is the new #1 in the B1G. I’m not sold that he’s got it in the bag, but it’s certainly not good that he’s still here. Next year is going to be tough in AA and we might be dogs there for the first time since 2011.
Ttun’s offense wobbled mightily in 5 of their their games. We did too in 3.5 games (counting penn state as half ) simply ,, our defense came far in Knowles first year but not far enough. And we over committed to stopping their run and didn’t adjust to the jj McCarthy deep game. Embarrassing. Day/Knowles need to own that so we have a speedy recovery to beating their 3 star asses again. Our recruiting will depend on it.
Thanks god Day isn’t fishing the nfl every off season.
We have the better program by far and should have the defense to finally get the late November/ December match ups figured out.
Finally, Our game v Georgia was a better indication of progress than the Rose Bowl last year imho. I can re watch 3.5 quarters of that game again and again.
Go Bucks
The last 2 seasons has been the most successful for his current position, prior to that I would hardly say he was pictured as a "winner" at scUM. He's what, 2-7 against his main rival? What's his record vs PSU and MSU? Covid saved him from being fired in 2020.
He was pretty much Lloyd Carr outside of 1997 but not successful against Ohio State. Lloyd also wasn’t facing the Ohio State teams Harbaugh was though either. He pretty much had them where they’d been prior to Rich Rod.
Yep. He caught one of the luckiest breaks in history from COVID. If he had to play the full season in 2020 instead of being f able to pick and choose which opponents to duck, he would have been canned for sure.
Harbaugh is basically John Cooper. 0-6 in bowl games, 2-6 vs the rival. Ryan just needs to get that defense figured out now and the ship will be righted.

Poor Harbaugh can’t get an NFL job offer.
I do not believe a word he says about loyalty but it's fun to watch him say it. I kinda wanted him to leave because I think he's got the program dialed in to be a nemesis to us, and I think a new coach would have to take a couple of years to get the personnel he needs for his system.
I feel the opposite. He definitely has the trajectory of the program moving upward, but I feared the right, young coaching hire could couple that with elite recruiting…Then it could be long term trouble for us.
I just don’t feel that way with Harbaugh there.
Go Bucks! Beat Blue!
Agree on that theory.
There goes Day’s plan to turn things around
you know...I think the Peach bowl showed us that if he just gets out of his own way the team is more than capable of winning in AA next year. They have to play every game like they played that game (along with the defense playing better.)
Also can be read as no Owner is stupid enough to hire him anymore.
Tsun is a back up plan. Lol.
I know there's a game Saturday, and my ass will be there.
I Believe In Ohio State.
Love the Zack Mayo reference. Harbaugh is no officer, and definitely not a gentleman.
Unsure why anyone would want to play for him. Of course most players choose a school because of the position coach they will be working with, more than the head coach. I mean the state up north is even colder than Ohio. Why anyone from down south would want to come up north for college football is beyond me. At least from a WR's standpoint, he knows the NFL is a good possibility due to Hartline's coaching.
Maybe some year, while Hairball is still there, the Bucks can get back on the winning track.
JI row end 78
Harbaugh has been a winner everywhere he's been including the NFL, unlike many other coaches. His players come up to him during press conferences and tell him that they love him. Can you possibly imagine that happening with Saban, for instance? He gave his entire $2 million dollar bonus money to the U of M staff that was laid off or salary-reduced because of Covid.
And be candid, Michigan is one of the top Universities on the planet, so the degree means a lot. Now that we are engaging in NIL in a more serious fashion, Michigan is trouble for virtually all CFB teams.
Like arrows in the hand of a mighty warrior, so are the children of one's youth. Happy is the man whose quiver is full, he shall not be afraid, but shall speak with the enemies at the gate. Psalm 127
Lol Bowl Game Jimmy just added the big12 runner up to his list of many failures, I'd be careful saying you're trouble for "virtually all CFB teams"
Many failures? Just beat OSU, again. Beat sparty, again. Won the B10, again. And not a cheater.
Was a winner as a player in high school, college (beat OSU a lot), and in the pros. As a coach he's taken USD from nothing to the top of D-II. Took Stanford from a joke to #4 and along the way accomplished the single biggest upset in D-I history, beating USC as a 45 pt. dog. Took the Niners from nothing to 3 straight NFC Championship games and a Super Bowl. And now he's made Michigan a winner.
So tell me, who has a resume like that? Saban or Urban? Not as players, never even sniffed the NFL. As coaches? Of course did well in college with rampant cheating, but got their heads handed to them in the pros when the cheating wasn't available.
Like arrows in the hand of a mighty warrior, so are the children of one's youth. Happy is the man whose quiver is full, he shall not be afraid, but shall speak with the enemies at the gate. Psalm 127
Not a cheater? Hmmmm NCAA rules violations says otherwise.
UM just suspended his co-offensive coordinator for "computer access crimes"...? Matt Weiss, who came over to TTUN from the Baltimore Ravens, and also used to be on Jimmy's staff at Stanford.
It doesn't sound like it's directly on Harbaugh, but like the Zack Smith debacle, it will reflect on the program and give Harbaugh headaches.
More to follow, I'm sure, but whatever it is it involves the UM campus police and Weiss is under suspension.
Lololol. Harbaugh has zero titles. You’re Gonna try to compare him to them? What a wild take.
Besides 2 BIG championships what has Harbaugh actually won? Nothing. He lost the SB. He's lost every bowl game. He lost every college playoff game and he has a 2-5 record against his biggest rival. He was so successful that his employer cut his salary. He ran away from Ohio State in 2020. He's also under investigation for cheating with recruiting. He begs NFL teams every year to hire him and gets told no every year. Why would that happen with his amazing NFL record? Because he's a loon that destroys every relationship. This year with his supposed great team he harbaughed and choked against a Big 12 runner up that lost the nc by 1,000 points.
SalemBuckeye
Quiverfull, to my chagrin all but one of your points is accurate. Regarding the biggest upset in D1 history, that title goes to I-AA Appalachian State beating #5 Michigan in the Big House. Sorry, I’m clinging to anything I can.
How's this for a resume comparison:
- Saban: 7 nattys, 1-0 vs. Harbaugh
- Meyer: 3 nattys, 4-0 vs. Harbaugh
- Harbaugh: 0 championships (CFB or NFL), 0-5 vs. Urban/Saban
The delusion of a *ichigan Man knows no bounds. And of course, in traditional fashion, the *ichigan Man has to throw in the usual "b-but cheating!!". I'm sure NO ONE saw that coming!
Quiver is a fucking scUM troll
ibleedscarletandgray
You should ask players like Jaxon Smith-Njigba (Tx), Steele Chambers (Ga.), and Noah Ruggles (Fla.) why they would come up north to play college football.
I’d include Vimahi, the Hawaii native, as well.
Just downvote the trolls and be done with it.
Must be terrible at interviewing! He should probably just stay there till he retires since the NFL doesn't seem to want him.
JWilly3
Just listen to him when they interview him on the field.
Exactly. Nothing about him says "effective communicator". It's easy to make a case that he's a good coach, but it's impossible to make a case that he's not a weirdo. I can't imagine that he interviews well.
Harbaugh and Michigan are both so extremely pathetic. Harbaugh because he can't find an NFL job despite his repeated best efforts and Michigan because they're willing to overlook the fact that Harbaugh absolutely does NOT want to be there and yet they won't tell him to fuck off for not being committed to the job.
This pretty much sums it up, along with their frankly pretty sad attempts to talk shit, bragging about winning the B1G like everyone hasn't seen them bin it in the playoff two years running. I guess that's what 2+ decades of mediocrity gets you.
Lol Harbaugh has all the leverage - Michigan would be idiotic to tell him to F off.
"Year for what?"
He's openly attempting to cheat on his wife and his wife takes him back every year because he pathetically can't find a taker.
SalemBuckeye
Hahaha ..... Hairball's biggest mistake, if he wanted to get an NFL job, was to do an interview with a team - just talking with him makes you realize he's nuts ....
Did you see his brothers interview during the first quarter last night!? They’re all nuts!
Go Bucks! Beat Blue!
I thought differently about his brother until I saw his brief engagement after the half last night. They’re both cringy and get weirder as they age.
Oh please, Melissa Stark basically asked JH why he hadn't benched his QB yet. Poor form...
She also said to Sam Hubbard after the game... 'I bet that's your first game ball' as if he's some scrub.
Yes, Melissa Stark needs a lot of blame for just stupid, stupid questions.
What a dysfunctional union. Tells me more about UM than Harbaugh.
I am not connected to the Michigan program. I have no information on what went on behind the scenes. However, I can easily believe that after the last two years, Harbaugh has a fair amount of leverage which he wanted to use to his advantage and the program's advantage. I have read, and could believe, that Harbaugh wants an increase in salaries for his coaching staff, wants more work done on NIL, wants Michigan to be able to accept more transfers (in terms of the admissions department hurdles Michigan faces,) and wants to know he has the administration's backing with the NCAA.
I feel better about Michigan's program than I've felt in many years. I think Alabama, Georgia, Texas A&M, Florida, Auburn, Clemson, OSU and several other schools have significant institutional advantages over Michigan. Because of that, I think it is virtually impossible for Michigan to find and retain a better coach who is a better fit than Harbaugh is at Michigan.
Hairball is the perfect coach for TTUN. The fact that he is arrogant enough to go fishing for any NFL job and come back demanding a raise is a classic “Michigan Man” move.
He’s just keeping the seat warm for Biff until he can find an owner in the NFL who will sign up for his antics.
Harbaugh wants five players from MSU jailed with felony assault charges. Harbaugh wants to play an antisemitic by giving him the penance of having him visit a Holocaust center sometime in 2023. Harbaugh wants the county prosecutor to dismiss charges against one of his team captains who admitted to violating Michigans conceal carry law. Harbaugh wants no consequences for said player and therefore played him in end of season games and post season games.
Harbaugh wants Buckeyeupnorth to simmer down a bit. To wit, Coach Harbaugh asked me to respond for him:
1. All East Landfill A & M folks are felons, or suspected felons, or will be felons, or are felons in their thoughts if not deeds.
2. He will visit, but first he has to finish his team punishment of wind sprints. I hear he's still doing them at Satellite Field, and his family really missed him at Christmas.
3. Mr. Smith was simply exercising his Second Amendment right without his government paperwork that was in processing anyway as it was.
4. See #3. I also heard that no one died nor did he brandish his iron so there was no further reason to suspend him.
Keep your friends close, but your rivals, closer.
NOBODY in the NFL with brains will take a chance on fruit loop hairball but he is using his leverage on mich. Here goes the old Harvard of the west bullshit. Nothing different between OSU and mich. on standards and has been proven over the years that mich. can and will get anybody in for either football or basketball. Reference the fab 5 lol.
Didn’t Gary get like a seven on his wonderlick?
To be fair, Gary has a pretty significant learning disability and puts a ton of time and money into programs supporting kids with learning disabilities.
That's really great. Still makes me wonder how he qualified for Michigan and stayed for years with such a severe handicap.

What admissions "hurdles" could athletes possibly face at UM? Desmond Howard was not only admitted to UM, he graduated. If Desmond has a triple-digit IQ I'll eat a shoe. They're willing to let pretty much anyone (*cough* Juwan Howard *cough* Mazi Smith) come to UM and stay as long as it suits their purposes. This narrative that UM is nearly impossible to get into is a joke, especially for scholarship athletes.
^Even their current HC said as much when he was at Stanford.
Think I largely agree.
I do think he's legitimately wanted to move to the NFL the last two offseasons. But he hasn't had any takers. Based on everything I've seen and heard the last couple of years, it seems openly accepted that he can be more than a bit awkward/jarring/off-putting if you don't already know him well. I suspect that can be a hard sell when it's been several years since he was in the NFL and there are always several qualified candidates to be NFL HCs.
I also don't blame him: think being an NFL HC would be more appealing than college in this current environment. And I think his strengths probably most closely align with an NFL HC role.
Though I can't say I'd be too thrilled if I were Michigan about his public solicitation of job offers every offseason. Think that's probably already gotten old for all involved.
Completely unrelated note: I didn't know Ono was UM's Prez. He used to be the head to Cincinnati. Always seemed like a nice, capable guy.
I think Harbaugh has zero leverage and has totally misplayed his very recent success. By threatening to leave the last 2 years with NFL teams collectively saying no thanks, Harbaugh has destroyed his only bargaining chip. Horribly played by him.
SalemBuckeye
Blufan, it is fucking hilarious that your team went from the 2-4 covid year just a couple of seasons ago to now cracking the playoffs 2 years in a row, winless in those games btw, and suddenly your fellow delusional fans go from calling scUM a basketball school to acting like y'all are the team to beat and the last 20 plus years never happened, you are the worst fans on the face of this planet, just fyi.
ibleedscarletandgray
I have suspected the same, Blu.
I think some of Harbaugh's biggest enemies are within the Michigan system itself. I think some of these power-plays are to keep them in line, to the benefit of the football program.
I'm in the minority, here, but I think Harbaugh is borderline genius and he's looking at the bigger picture and charting the course for the future of CFB.
After we beat them next year, storming the field to rip those khakis off his legs.
For an any elite sports program, “storming the field” may translate to others that a win really wasn’t expected.
I'll settle for a flag plant on the ugly ass maize M
ibleedscarletandgray
Good glad he’s staying…now kick his arse.
So he didn't get the job I guess
When you win, say nothing. When you lose, say less.
Just another perfect reason coaches will continue to negative recruit against him. He will leave at some point.
good. I was worried he would go out with a win against us.
He's a goofball but he's managed to develop talent the last few years. Embarrassing losing to them 2 years in a row with the talent disparity. OSU was #2 in blue chip ratio and UM was #12. Also, curious to see what penalties NCAA will impose on him for lying to them.
I think the NCAA is ticked he told them to go urinate up a rope when they tried to talk with him about a $10 tip for some cheeseburgers, meanwhile programs like OSU's (tatoos, cars, jewelry, cash, lying coaches), UNC (18 years of academic fraud), Arizona and Kentucky (coaches caught on tape buying players) and the entire SEC get virtually nothing despite horrendous 'records'.
No wonder he told them to get the blank out of his office.
Like arrows in the hand of a mighty warrior, so are the children of one's youth. Happy is the man whose quiver is full, he shall not be afraid, but shall speak with the enemies at the gate. Psalm 127
All he had do was tell the truth. Everything you accuse of OSU doing would be "legal" in the NCAA's eyes now (btw, got proof?). Tressel got the heat from the NCAA because he lied to them. Nowhere does it say in the NCAA guidelines and rules that what a coach lies about matters. As long as a coach lies to an investigator that coach is deemed to have commit a "sin" in the NCAA's eyes.
He didn't lie. He told them to leave and said, in effect, 'When you start enforcing the rules against schools like OSU, the SEC, etc, then we can talk about my $10 tip'. Seems about right.
Like arrows in the hand of a mighty warrior, so are the children of one's youth. Happy is the man whose quiver is full, he shall not be afraid, but shall speak with the enemies at the gate. Psalm 127
You actually believe that’s what happened? Hire another analyst to coach for your savior too while you’re at it.
Which rules are they not enforcing against OSU?
Once again, Harbaugh has to slither back to Ann Arbor with his tail between his legs because the NFL doesn’t want his brand of crazy.
I bet he celebrates with a free cheeseburger.
You guys have to be crazy not to understand what is going on here, he was asked and accepted a pay cut after the 2020 season, that last two years he has won the BIG, made the playoffs and beat us pretty handily, he has all the leverage here and is posturing for his money back, does he want to be back in the NFL most likely but not this year not with the team they have coming back next year, I would say they will probably start the season ranked 2nd and will be favored in every game they play. If he wins the championship next year would be the year he takes off.
That's a good analogy, Nap......Hairball is a Michigan Man and he idolizes Bo. He wants to have a long, successful career, like his idol. All these forays into the NFL build his warped ego and reinforce to him that he is an elite coach who is wanted by the pros. Blake Corum re-upping for 2023 was a sign that Crazy Jimmy is going to stay around.
You are exactly right Harbaugh is just like Bo and idolizes him. Bo lied about Dr. Anderson and Harbaugh is lying now. Michigan men…..
Worst of all about Bo is that he’d threaten to send underperforming players to Dr. Anderson for “an examination” knowing the doctor’s reputation. It’s beyond disgusting. Everyone knew too. Jim Harbaugh is a Dr. Anderson denier too. He says Bo’s son and countless former teammates are lying. Jim Harbaugh is a massive piece of shit.
Agreed, if this was MSU they would have hunted down everyone associated. There are a bunch of assistant coaches who were aware of Dr. Anderson but did nothing, Including Jimmy's Dad. Of course, the papers stopped reporting on it and it just goes away.
Harbaugh threatening to leave Michigan for the NFL is like me threatening to leave my wife for a 20 year old Swedish swimsuit model if I don't get my way on everything.
SalemBuckeye
Was worried we wouldn’t get another shot before his inevitable departure
Didn't he say this exact thing a week or two ago and then call the Panthers owner to beg for an interview?
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.
Officially staying or just staying this week?
He was never going back to the NFL and this was nothing more than a ploy to get back the money when he restructured his contract a couple years ago. Like I said before he's reached his ceiling at Michigan and that's winning a Big Ten championship
Totally agree with your post. Harbaugh fucking with the university to get his 8 million dollar salary back he was forced to give up three or four years ago. He never had any intentions to go back to the NFL.

Well, let's send him out on a low note. I have to think that he was absolutely gone until he got embarrassed by TCU then TCU got absolutely OBLITERATED by Georgia in the worst loss in a major football game in the modern era of football.
Round on the ends and "HI" in the middle. O-HI-O.
He’s still a moron
Stay gold, Ponyboy.
Good. Would hate for that guy to leave on a win streak. Now let's whomp that ass.
Maybe Day will have this team ready to win The Game next year..
How in the hell did they lose to TCU?
They pretty much beat themselves in that game.
Throwing 2 pick 6's won't win you many games.
Also, really poor clock management down the stretch didn't do them any favors.
I enjoyed every second of their loss. Then to see TCU get spanked.
JJ "pick six" McCarthy blew that game. My favorite part was when he was mouthing "We will win" to his mom and his muffin-top girlfriend.
Nov 25th will be a great day. We will be most especially proud of our men in Ann Arbor.
"Our kind of families win a few more football games than others." Coach Hayes
TTUN will be 10-1 at worst when they welcome our Buckeyes into Ann Arbor. Their OOC schedule is another joke once again this coming season. The only game they could possibly lose before The Game would be at PSU. If he didn't get a huge pay raise this season, he most likely get it after next season if he beats our Buckeyes and wins another B1G championship. Gotta beat Blue next season. Just gotta.
I like the part where Harbaugh says he called the Broncos to tell them he has decided to stay at Michigan. Sure Jim, sure. Dollars to donuts be came off as completely aloof during his interview there.
It's telling that he mentioned President Ono but not the AD, Warde Manuel. He and Warde have been at odds the last couple of weeks. I will post the link later once I find it.
Unfortunately, I can't find it, but basically they told him they were going to make him one of the highest paid coaches in the B1Gc at 9M+/year, but after the NCAA allegations against him and the program came out, Manuel was hesitant and lowered the offer to somewhere in the $7M range. Harbaugh was not happy and felt unwanted, and it wasn't until President Ono stepped in and intervened and said to pay him what he's worth that Harbaugh was appeased and reconsidered about staying.
Harbaugh negotiated a new five year contract last year that moved him back to $7M and included performance bonuses. His contract as a state employee is reviewed and approved by U of M board of Reagents who are elected by the citizenry of Michigan. The president can’t just say “pay him what he wants”
until the Buckeyes beat the Shits up north i will not make fun of the man whose got Days balls in a vise
Didn't he say, about this time last year, he was done looking at the NFL?
I may be in the minority, but I was hoping to see him go. He’s not a great coach, but his brother is supplying him with NFL assistants, which is causing the team to play much better.
Unless there are a plethora of injuries in key positions for SCUM, I see Ryan Day going 1-3 against them.
@Buckeyeman17, Johnny Harbaugh carries Jimmy Harbaugh with his coaches. Day and staff need to get better with the red zone offense. Defense needs to eliminate half of those big plays down to 2-3 a game. Knowles philosophy allowing 5 to 7 big plays a game doesn't work against a good to great team. Ann Arbor will be a pain the arse to play next season. This might be a difficult year rebuilding the offensive line and new quarterbacks starting for this team. Buckeyes might need a more mobile QB next season to be successful.

No NFL...Team wants the...Goofy Bitch...Let's kick his ass this...year...kick him any where the bitch is all ass Fuck scUM...Go Bucks
Hitting the bourbon hard tonight, Art?
Right there with you, Day is going to be an underdog in that game next year and we will see what he can come up with in that scenario, I will have to see a lot more from the coaching staff than what I saw this year.
He's a good coach. He's flipped the rivalry and is smacking Ryan Day around every chance he gets.
I remember when Harbaugh was at Stanford, he'd give Pete Carrol's uber talented USC teams loaded with 5-star recruits fits. He'd beat them often with inferior talent. Then he took a team to the super bowl. Yeah, he has experience and is a good coach. As much as it pains me to admit this.
Downvote the truth away! Go for it!
Inferior talent aside from that generational talent QB.
That QB is going to be about as good as a Penn State QB. That's all.
Did I read it correctly? Turd is staying in the toilet?

He likes reading headlines of himself. Probably pauses it so he can gather the family around and show them his name as it scrolls across the bottom of the TV.
Sweet. Barely enough room for one arrogant, weirdo coach in Colorado, let alone Prime + Harbaugh.
As a Brincos fan I can now breathe a sigh of relief. Disaster averted.
It was reported earlier in the offseason that Jimmy's representatives were reaching out to NFL teams with HC openings requesting an interview.
Carolina was on record telling Jimmy thanks but no thanks. As were the Vikings last year.
He didn't even get farther than the first round phone interview with Denver this year.
It seems the other NFL teams didn't even give him an interview.
Now he saying that he decided to stay with scUM. LOL, the guy couldn't get an NFL job again so he's still stuck there.
As an OSU fan this is great entertainment. I can't imagine how humiliating it must be to be a fan of that team though.
We are confident enough to let Jimmy go out and talk to other girls, but we know he'll be back.
Jimmy is a simple man who just wants his contract made right, which our new University president is making happen in short order. Santa Ono is the first University president we've had in my living memory who understands the importance of having a successful football team for the overall welfare and image of the University.
Keep your friends close, but your rivals, closer.
Using your analogy, I do believe that the only reason Jimmy was only talking and not screwing was because the girls laughed him right out of the bar.
Or to put it in more plain and proper terms, it clearly hasn’t been his choice.
You're right, they probably did! But he had to go back home somewhere after last call, so here we are and glad to have him back. We're made for each other!
Keep your friends close, but your rivals, closer.

Browns fans are probably fortunate that they haven’t had a HC job opening yet while Jimmy has been stumping for an NFL gig.
Their owner has the right combination of high desperation and low IQ that it requires to hire a coach like Jimmy in the NFL. I could definitely see Haslem making a move like that just like he did with drafting Johnny Football.
There’s a good chance that this will be the last year for Kevin Stefanski In Cleveland so I wouldn’t be surprised if Jimmy didn’t end up with the Browns in 2024. That franchise has been a horrible mess for 20+ years but Harbaugh would probably happily accept it just to be out of Ann Arbor
It seems odd to me that JH called Ono rather than AD Warde Manuel. There was also some scuttlebutt about donors wanting to create an open NIL pool to be spread about the football program and Manuel balked at it. I am beginning to get the sense there is a bit of a disagreement between JH & Manuel about how to best move forward with with the changing landscape of CFB. I'm guessing in the near future of these two will need to move on. If Manuel is holding back NIL, my hope is he doesn't stay at UM because it will severely hurt recruiting as time goes on. Then again, I'd also have to believe that NIL helped get back Corum, Zinter, Keegan, etc. for their senior year's. It's a weird world in CFB these days.
That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
Last year I wanted him to stay and get payback for 2021. After seeing them come into the Shoe and win this year, I was rooting for him to leave.

I think it's hilarious that UM is all excited that their beloved coach is 'staying'.
Only in *ichigan!
I genuinely do not understand people's happiness at seeing this news. He's clearly a good coach and has turned their program around in the last 2 years. They've beaten us twice in a row and have won the B1G twice in a row. They have consistently dominant O-line and RB play. The players love playing for him. Their recruiting isn't elite, but they certainly develop guys well. He's outcoached us in-game the last two years. Why on earth would we want him to stay? I want revenge against him just like all of you, but more than that I want to win. And Harbaugh staying makes that less likely. What am I missing here?

Sarah Feuerborn Harbaugh, come on down--you're the next contestant on "What am I Missing Here"!!!
Faster, tougher, and more violent...
Turned what around? Dominant Rb and Line Play? We saw against TCU this year and Sparty last year that they are the same old Michigan! If they can out physical you they can beat you! For goodness sake they should have lost to Illinois at home had the officials not bailed them out. Did you ever think that maybe Ryan Day needs to start playing Ohio State Football? And start putting a Physical Defense back on the field? Day Lost to Michigan because he allowed them to play their brand of game and we looked weak! Hairball hasn’t changed Ohio State has and now we are scared!!
If you can't see how he has elevated their program, I don't know what to tell you.
Let's compare the 7 years Harbaugh has been there (excluding the COVID year) with the 7 previous years:
Average wins per year under Harbaugh: 10.3
Average wins per year under Hoke/RichRod: 6.5
Big Ten titles under Harbaugh: 2
Big Ten titles under Hoke/RichRod: 0
Wins against Ohio State under Harbaugh: 2
Wins against Ohio State under Hoke/RichRod: 1 (Fickell year)
Season finishes in the AP Top 25 under Harbaugh: 6
Season finishes in the AP Top 25 under Hoke/RichRod: 2
Now, I still think we should have beaten them this year, but stop pretending this is the "same old Michigan." It's not. They're better.
vacuuming sucks
I heard he's staying to hold Day to a triple!
All I know is Day has 312 days to figure it out because anything less than a victory is unacceptable period. I don’t want to hear about a new QB, injuries or the refs. Tressel took a train wreck of a team to AA his first year and the rest is history.

He wants to go to the NFL, but no team wants to deal with his ax hole personality.
I think it's possible he may have just done the whole flirting with the NFL thing to bargain for an assurance from the University that he wouldn't be facing any University initiated penalties or punishments on top of whatever the NCAA does.
I think that scum will back hairball to the max on any of these violations. They now have to. It will be deny,deny and minimize until the NCAA just says "naughty boy" and don't do it again. Gene Smith would roll over and say beat us with a rod and give us the stiffest penalties because we deserve it to just make OSU super clean.
If you commit a violation you better tell the truth about it! If you don’t you are a liar just like Hairball! That‘s what wrong with this country now Liberals do not believe Rules Laws or Borders and Hairball is the Little Liberal boy we all know!
Boy, I know this sure is shocking to me.../S (large S, style of sarcasm)

When a coach announces first, “He plans to enthusiastically be coaching at scUM in 2023”. Then tells the team he defiantly will return to coach scUM in 2023”. It may be me but he sounds like a lying idiot!! We know he is an idiot! Coach Day better kick his ass next year!!
I'll translate the Harbaugh talk into English...
"I got NO offers from the NFL, so.... I'm staying at Michigan!" Bless my soul... Go Blue.
What a putz!
