In reality who could Michigan get to be a better HC?
I'm now onboard with the idea that Harbaugh is not the guy to get it done here, but who really could? I feel like "eh this is kinda Michigan football, its not going to get better". But really Michigan needs a coach who can come in here and revamp the offense. No more of these FB dives, hand off to the running back to run up the gut for a year, slow tempo, delay of game when down like 30....
Not that Michigan would part ways but would would be a realistic coach to fix this mess because Saban and Dabo are not coming.

Ok since you don’t like Campbell. How about Dino?
December 29th, 2018 at 7:22 PM ^
Someone not named Harbaugh. You any many others here act like if the HC job opened up at UM there would be no takers. Hell I would take Mullen, Herman, Peterson,Paterson, Campbell over JH. There are many coaches who do far more with less than Jimmy the savior. That is a proven fact, quit hiding your head in the sand. Harbaugh isn't even in the top 10 in college football imo. Money talks so don't act like JH is the only coach interested in Michigan. If that is the actual case, there are far deeper rooted problems than we as fans know.
December 29th, 2018 at 5:00 PM ^
So cut Harbaugh’s salary in half. Will that make you feel better about a 10-3 season with another loss to OSU and a bowl blow-out?
December 29th, 2018 at 4:11 PM ^
Its amazing that this comment has 7 upvotes. Oh wow he’s better than RR and Hoke. Awesome. Harbaugh has done shit against any teams with a pulse. He should be fired tomorrow if he refuses to hire an innovative OC who isnt stuck in 1984.

"I want Winz now. I no get Winz. I offer no better alternative. So FYRE EVERYONE!!!!"
Old man yells at cloud, offers no solutions.
December 29th, 2018 at 4:38 PM ^
This is us.
This is our fanbase.
Fcuk.
December 29th, 2018 at 7:38 PM ^
You just may have a point clarkie.
"This is us", remember that next time you take a jab at the Iowa's, Minnesota's, Wisconsin's, and all the other average programs across the country. UM isn't anybody, damn sure far from elite. So just remember next time you criticize programs of that ilk, UM has become what you criticize.
This is us...UM football...nothing to really brag about, no signature wins, beat average teams, lose to elite programs, and no significant accomplishments in many many years. So yes I do agree..........FUCK!!!
December 29th, 2018 at 3:50 PM ^
do we need to keep changing coaches to match our expectation or change our expectations regardless of coach?
at some point comes down to calling your program as it is. not trying to be negative but since 1998... 4 coaches, results provide quite a bit of data.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:53 PM ^
Nice thinking there. Notre Dame with their tougher admission standards can go 12-0 in 2012 and 12-0 this year that tells me we're doing something wrong internally.
December 29th, 2018 at 4:00 PM ^
Brian Kelly is a known cheater (And a huge Asshole)...I'll take our 7-9 wins and not be like them.
December 29th, 2018 at 4:42 PM ^
You forgot murderer too.
December 29th, 2018 at 4:13 PM ^
2012 ND went 0-0
December 29th, 2018 at 3:57 PM ^
Winningest program all time. Highest winning percentage all time. My standards arent changing. Championships or bust, 10-3 isnt good enough and well 10-3 is harbaughs cap.
December 29th, 2018 at 5:29 PM ^
So changes need to be made to compete with the osu’s bamas and clemsons of the world. As herm would say. “You play to win the game”
December 29th, 2018 at 3:50 PM ^
Mods, please delete this thread
December 29th, 2018 at 3:55 PM ^
Why? I think that this is an honest question to ask. Your opinion, along with some others will be that Michigan cannot get a better coach and thats cool. I just feel with the way he runs offense he is not the guy we were hoping for.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:56 PM ^
Why?
He's not gonna leave or get fired, but it's a fair-game question.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:58 PM ^
delete your mom. Idiot
we are fed up
of you talk the talk, you gotta deliver wins
harbaugh talks big and hasn’t delviered
so basically fuck off
December 29th, 2018 at 4:06 PM ^
Think of it like a mod on this blog though - leaving this thread spares me from having to delete multiple instances of it. Leaving this one gets it out of the way, whether or not you agree with the premise.
Personally, I am not on the "fire Harbaugh" train. I am definitely on the "PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF PETE HIRE AN OC THAT LIVES IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY" train, truth be told. I would much rather try that experiment first.
Now, threads which are thematically similar - either to this or other topics - will go just to avoid overlap, but leaving one to cover a topic usually works out better for all.
December 29th, 2018 at 4:26 PM ^
LSA...I am with you. I would rather JH hire an offensive QB that is relevant and knows how to utilize the talent we have on the offensive side of the ball.
No my question to you is...after 4 years of this...do you think Harbaugh will actually do this? I seriously think he might be delusional and is married to the idea that he wants to win like Bo did.
December 30th, 2018 at 1:00 AM ^
Harbaugh has made significant changes to his coaching staff each off-season. Let's see what he does this year.
December 29th, 2018 at 4:32 PM ^
A big part of the problem is accounts that have been on here for 5 seconds are allowed to spread garbage all over the place, clearly having an agenda beyond civil dialogue.
December 29th, 2018 at 5:09 PM ^
I haven't been here for 5 seconds, but I definitely needed to vent.
December 29th, 2018 at 5:34 PM ^
Punch your pillow for a few minutes.
December 30th, 2018 at 10:40 PM ^
Why? Maybe I want to have a civil dialogue with you, or maybe now criticizing the coaches for the last 2 performances is trolling? Stop worrying about the trolls and start worrying about the state of the football program. Something is not right. I hope I'm wrong and these last 2 games where just an aberration.
December 30th, 2018 at 7:14 AM ^
Why? Because it is the truth?
December 29th, 2018 at 3:50 PM ^
Tony Anese from ferris st . Matt Campbell
December 29th, 2018 at 3:52 PM ^
Matt Campbell would be an intriguing choice
December 29th, 2018 at 4:03 PM ^
Annesse is better. Campbell is a flash. Annesse turned a perennial doormat at Ferris into a NC contender. He can flat out coach.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:55 PM ^
Neal Brown from Troy would be a fantastic under the radar hire. Him or Matt Campbell.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:50 PM ^
Matt Campbell at Iowa State will have a big job soon. Coached at Toledo. Knows the area. Keep him in mind if Harbaugh doesn't fix this.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:51 PM ^
You need to lay out the expectations. Sure offense sucked today, but they List 62-39 to osu. If anyone thinks the offense was the problem in that game I'd disagree. No one can meet the expectations of the fan base.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:54 PM ^
No one can meet the expectations of winning one flipping conference title? Which MSU did in 2013 and 2015? Give me a break.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:58 PM ^
I think you are severely underestimating the expectations of this fan base. They wanted Alabama success in year 3. Not saying it's right, just what it is.
December 29th, 2018 at 4:14 PM ^
Nobody here expects to be Alabama, you're making shit up.
December 29th, 2018 at 4:20 PM ^
That comes with the territory when you hire a big name HC who I believe, at the time he was hired, made more than any other college coach.
December 29th, 2018 at 4:26 PM ^
I just want to beat Ohio State by year 4.
December 29th, 2018 at 4:31 PM ^
Ok. We'll make that our new goal.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:55 PM ^
It has been gone over, over and over again how the offense only manufactured 13 points in that game through 3 quarters. Be quiet
December 29th, 2018 at 4:01 PM ^
what's with the be quiet? No need to be a DICK
December 29th, 2018 at 3:55 PM ^
A little misleading given that:
Osu gifted a tuddy right before half
Multiple drives were sustained by questionable PI
Blanked in crucial 3rd quarter
But yea, those garbage points rocked.
December 29th, 2018 at 4:02 PM ^
Need to score, and score big in college football. Game is set up for all sorts of offense advantages, even Don Brown has said hes been frustrated with that because his guys can't do what they used to. If you don't have an elite offense you're screwed.
Look at OK, bad defense but in the playoff with an amazing offense.
December 29th, 2018 at 4:18 PM ^
A month after the D got whipped by Ohio State, it got whipped by one of Urban Meyer’s protégés.
Our coaching staff didn’t learn one thing from the Ohio State disaster, and there is no reason to expect any different next season
December 29th, 2018 at 3:51 PM ^
Lane Kiffin.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:55 PM ^
I'd take him as an OC in a heartbeat with our talent
December 29th, 2018 at 3:52 PM ^
Harbaugh just needs to step back and become a CEO type coach and get some young, aggressive, OC and DC's in here to run the show.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:59 PM ^
Agree, Harbaugh isn't the type who could do this.
December 29th, 2018 at 4:22 PM ^
if so, then get another 'coach' at 1M per year and use the other 6M on top coordinators.... if he isn't gonna coach....
December 29th, 2018 at 3:52 PM ^
Offer 20 million to Dabo. Cant hurt. We can afford it. Do whatever it takes to win. "Cheat" like the SEC, who cares? Gotta stay relevant and were simply not.
