Matt Hayes: Harbaugh Hype Train
Another day, another way to get excited about the coming season under Harbaugh:
n less than six months, he has taken a program left for dead after last season and raised expectations even he can’t reach. Or can he?
In Harbaugh’s first season at Stanford, he took a team that won a single game the previous year and beat college football king USC in Los Angeles with a walkon quarterback. As a 40-point underdog.
The buzz, the sheer anticipation, is palpable.
If you don’t think recruits are buying what he’s selling, if you don’t think this new social media superstar isn’t making recruiting inroads all over the country, stick your head in the sand and keep talking about satellite camps.
Because with every tweet, with every picture of a shirtless, 50-something acting 20-something, Jim Harbaugh is winning.
And he hasn’t even coached a down.
With all his celebrity, sometimes I forget about his coaching skills. He coached a horrible Stanford team to the biggest upset in college football history (on the road) in his first year (and a big improvement on the previous season). There is some serious upside this year.....
Harbaugh SMASH!!!! HYPE!!!! UNICORN!!!! CORN!!! KORN!!!! PORN!!!! HARBAUGH!!!!!!!
you read my mind
You have to an interesting cat...Koala.

My brother in law is a cat.
It's Harbaugheddon!!!
does many things, but he does not prance.
Nor was he "convinced" to take less money.
Yeah. I read that and thought "top 10 in what, the conference?"
just gave me epilepsy.
Thanks Obama.
I named Harbaugh after our savior.
I imagine potty training is relatively simple.
"Just poop anywhere you like, son."
His mother does most of that. I can't figure out what the hell is wrong with his chin? It's all red and shit. Pretty adorbs otherwise though.
I can see the strong family resemblance....
I'm one proud PAPA!

He was holding a glass of scotch in his hand, but I edited it out because I didn't want to be controversial.
He brought Stanford up from 1 win to 4 wins in his first year. If you do the math, it is reasonable to expect about 20 wins in year one at Michigan.
I think that's enough to do the job in 2015.
back to college, ya know?
Harbaughs goals: Win offseason, win season, win at laser tag.
They don't call him Captain Comeback for nothin'
He coached a horrible Stanford team to the biggest upset in college football history.
Fair expectation at Michigan...
not.
According to Vegas lines, which as the operators have a lot of money riding on it, is the best measure in my opinion. Talking heads are just that, heads that talk.
To be fair to our troll friend, that's because most books didn't even list The Horror.
