Michigan was expected, by all accounts, to dip this year and most predictions were in the 8-9 win range because of the serious holes in our roster left by failures of the previous staff. You expect Harbaugh to work miracles. The rational people will continue to look at what he did as a good job and expect those young, talented, players that dominated on defense all year to return next year and be better. The same on offense. Harbaugh had a special needs kid at QB and managed to almost beat Wisconsin, OSU and MSU this year.
You lost by 14 in a game where your offense had three first downs in the second half. If that's "almost beating Wisconsin," then Wisconsin has "almost" won six of the last eight titles.
