Is Harbaugh's khaki's getting hot now??

[cwerph]

I think he is doing a great job and needs to keep it up on exactly this trajectory. I love the guy.

Saban to Michigan!

Lane Kiffin to Bama!

Lane Kiffin to Bama!

We can only hope.....

I've officially turned on him. Just like Popovich, Harbaugh has been completely distracted with politics and our President, instead of his job. I don't hear Diantonio talking about politics?

Harbaugh is a victim of his own hype, believing too much in himself. His goofy gimmick doesn't work when your rivals beat your ass. Go back to the NFL. I'm done with him.

I'm not ready to give up on Harbaugh yet, but I really don't see them beating OSU now. On top of that, they still don't have a QB going into next season that carries any kind of real optimism at QB next year.

The defense needs to physically abuse the offense this week in practice. All week long!

Agree 100%

This is one of my favorite Harbaugh stories. Guys a good coach but a strange dude.

Beamer leans back in his chair and loosens a memory from late 2010. The Hokies of Virginia Tech, where Beamer has coached for the last 28 autumns, were preparing to play Stanford in the Orange Bowl. A few days before the Jan. 3 game, Beamer met the Cardinal head coach — Harbaugh — at an event in Planet Hollywood in Miami.

“After we take some pictures, we start talking, just the two of us,” Beamer said. “Jim says over and over how much respect he has for Georgia Tech. He must have said it five times. I’m just looking at him like, ‘Are you serious?’

“Finally, I’m joking with him and I say I can’t wait to tell my team that you called us Georgia Tech. Because, you know, we’re Virginia Tech.”

Harbaugh then threw his infamous shark expression at Beamer: mouth agape, eyes on fire, looking poised to chomp. Harbaugh’s assistants have seen this look for years; he sometimes holds it for about 30 seconds without speaking, causing everyone in eyeshot to wonder what is flowing through his mind — if anything.

Beamer continued to lock eyes with Harbaugh for a few moments, waiting for him to say something, anything. It may have been the most uncomfortable silence of Beamer’s life.

“Well,” Harbaugh finally told Beamer. “I can’t wait to tell my players that you said you were going to play Samford, not Stanford!” He then turned and walked away.

I still think of Harbough as the other half of the handshake. Guy is definitely a prick.

But I don't think there are 5 coaches who are obviously better than him in the country. And any that are, are already entrenched where they are. Are you really ready to gamble an elite program to another unproven guy who looked good at a lower level? Again?

Michigan Man to Michigan.

It took a Michigan State man to make LSU and Alabama great again, I guess it will take one to make Michigan great again too.

Without question: Saban, Meyer, Dabo, Franklin, and...

Spoiler

Dantonio

Dantonio

I would say the jury is out still on Franklin. He's had one flash year and has been good thus far. The proof will be if Penn State can beat Michigan this year.

Dantonio

I'd add Kirby Smart, Mark Richt, Bob Stoops, Chris Peterson, Chip Kelly, Gary Patterson

all have won much more than him

Year 3 and Jimmah still hasn't produced a QB or offense. Has one win over rivals.

Wait...when was LSU great before Saban?

The real question is, is Jimmy Jam in the top half of coaches in his own division...unfortunately it's a 7 team division, so it looks like to me he is squarely in the middle....right where a middling coach belongs.

Is there a Michigan fan on here than can honestly say that Jimmy Jam is better than Dantonio, Meyer or Franklin? Certainly not based on results.

I can see that trustmeimright fella defending Jimmy Jam's honor. Did you know Mr. Harbaugh played & coached in the NFL?

Well LSU is #12 in all time wins so they had to be great at some point.

Lane Kiffin to Bama!

Inside reports suggest he was well hated while Alabama and apparently nobody ever talked to him except when they had too.

 

[8085sooner]

This is pretty much how I thought Mich team would look. They beat a horrible offense UF, with 12 players out. Replaced most of there defense. I pretty much thought they would lose, 4 or 5 games this year.

That being said. I never bought into the Harbaugh E$PN hype.

I hope someday soon Lane becomes the HC @ Auburn.
