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?
No shit sherlock?He doesn't have a QB right now
Hope ur right. Just can't see Harbaugh getting focused on the important things anytime soon.
I think Harbaugh is laser focused. The problem is that he has never stayed at one place very long.
I don't believe that Harbaugh views Michigan State as a rivalry or at least has a difficult time pressing that upon the players. I can't find the quote but one player was recently quoted as saying they don't try as hard against Little Brother. Many Michigan fans try to say that "the Michigan game is Sparty's super bowl while it's just another game to us" as some sort of slight. Guess what, we are 8-3 in our Super Bowls while Michigan is what 1-11 in their game against Ohio state. I'd rather win 67% of our Super Bowls rather than 8%. Michigan players and fans need to put a little more focus into this game if they plan on righting it because MSU hasn't lost focus.I think Harbaugh is laser focused. The problem is that he has never stayed at one place very long. That has been my worry all along with Jim. I still LOVE having him in Ann Arbor, and am hoping he is here for a while, but for that to happen he has to change the direction of the rivalries between Ohio State and Michigan State. Right now, and going into 2018 it doesn't look good. That can change quickly with a few guys stepping up their game though.
If Harbaugh ends up jumping to the NFL, I'd love to see John Harbaugh leave the NFL and come to Michigan. I seriously doubt it would happen, but it would be GREAT transition. John seems a little more level headed, and also seems to like longevity at a place. Both of them seem to be really good coaches (John having much more success than Jim though).

I can think of 30 that have accomplished more.

I am under no illusions that we are or should be as big of a rival as Ohio State is to Michigan. It's the Michigan fans that want to pretend that a team that has gone twice without playing for 35 years is a bigger rival or that want to lie to themselves that Michigan state is not a rival at all.Coming off a bye week Michigan should have been better prepared, but people need to realize that Michigan State is good as well. Michigan State fans have to realize they will never be the rival that ohio state is to Michigan. That said ... nice game!!!

Accomplished more doesn't mean shit. It's all about moving forward, and if you think there are 30 coaches that would give that program a better chance going forward than Harbaugh then I think you are being completely disingenuous.
As for him never staying anywhere for very long - every job he took was a promotion. So I don't know if that factors in or not. Depends on if he thinks another NFL job is a better gig.

Right now, Harbaugh thinks our president is a bigger rival than Dantonio and MSU. And the players are sitting around waiting for him to coach football.
