Heard on ESPN this AM that Harbaugh is starting to get heat for his record against OSU and Sparty. Also has a similar record to Hokes first few years. Add in the fact he's making 9 million a year....ummm...you better start producing big boy results if you're making big boy money,
Lot of momos on this board would have run Dantonio out last season.
Some would hate him, Michigan threw the ball 11 out of 14 plays in the 3rd quarter during heavy rain, three passes turned into interceptions. The run the ball crowd who have called for him to be fired after that.He lost a lot of senior starters last year and just lost a close game to Michigan State giving up only 252 yards on defense and 14 points in spite of turning the ball over 5 times. This all to the number 21 ranked team. I think JH will do just fine.

Well they have finished the last two seasons under him ranked in the top 11 and he has them ranked 17. This after the last guy finished 7-6 and 5-7. As for playing the in Championship Game? Yea he missed in his first two years to a team that won the National Championship and to another team that finished the season ranked 7th. I would venture to guess that JH's lack of success getting to the Championship is as much on the tough division as it is his coaching. It was pretty apparent last year that the ref's game Penn State the win against Michigan on a poor ball spot.Harbaugh did an amazing job at Stanford. I have not been impressed with his time in Ann Arbor. He managed an immediate recruiting burst when he was first hired, and the win-loss record improved, but all he really did was get them back up to where they were under Lloyd Carr. Maybe that's not an insult, but I don't think 9-4 type seasons with losses to rivals MSU and Ohio State were the goal. Michigan is NOT a national power despite the preseason hype.
Michigan has yet to even appear in the Big Ten Championship game. Finishing 4th in the B1G East standings probably wasn't what they envisioned when he was hired. He's not in bust territory by a long shot, but I think reality has not matched the hope so far.
They sure did "open the checkbook and pay whatever it takes"Home run hire though.
Yes. Dantonio has been more successful than Harbaugh in college football. Shows he can do more with less. And comes with a lot less baggage (and cost.)
It's a no-brainer to me.
Home run hire though.
This is how sad some of our fans have become...that we are not actually making fun of teams for only getting 10 wins and being relevant.
I remember when we mocked 9 wins...now we are pretending that 7 wins would be an amazing coaching job.
Must be real rough for them coming off back to back 10 win seasons and a trip to the Orange Bowl.
Not sure they are paying him $8-10 million a year to finish 3rd in the East and be 1-4 against Ohio St and Michigan St. Expectations are a bitch.

Absolutely, and it's not even close.
Michigan has had crazy amounts of talent for 125 years. Most out here just didn’t pay attention until 10 yrs ago... or until click bait site led you to that conclusion by your noseI'd take Harbaugh in a heartbeat. Guy is a winner, and is winning games this year with basically a complete roster flip. He is brining in crazy amounts of talent, and I bet Michigan is in the title hunt in two years. Guy wins everywhere he goes.

This thread is interesting.
Riley apologists calling out harbaugh for not doing well enough despite the team he inherited being poor, showing evidence based improvement, and his current recruiting.
Rileavers saying he's doing a good job and "wait til he gets his recruits" etc despite the fact that he is not meeting expectations especially in regards to his rivals and hasn't played in B1G game.
It's just interesting and I'm sure both sides will read that the way they prefer.
