Beilein videobomb Harbaugh caption contest
"See, we're going to try and establish the run early and often, possibly running up the middle, 2, 3 times per 4 downs"
"See, we're going to try and establish the run early and often, possibly driving into the post or spiking the ball after a 3 pointer"!
"We feel like our pass rush will be strong enough to consistently harass Haskins. And even if we don't hit home, Kinnel should be able to lock down his side of the field against OSU."
Who gets the worse refs?
Just....awesome...thanks for sharing!
"Oh come ON MAN...WTF is this guy John O'Neil's brother?"
“I don’t really like to compare coaching basketball to coaching football. I feel like comparing things always leads to something getting diminished. I know we are both just happy to be here. Happy to work. Trying to better today than we were yesterday... better tomorrow than we are today.
Beilein:Harbaugh::Luther:Obama
Beilein = 2015-16 Sideline Harbaugh
Harbaugh = 2017-18 Sideline Harbaugh
Harbaugh: football, football, football....
Beilein: We're a basketball school!
So they mentioned it during the broadcast... Harbaugh basically eavesdropped Beilein's halftime speech. Trying to figure out how he consistently beats ranked teams most likely.
In Beilein's first four years, UM was 6-29 against ranked opponents in the regular season.
In Harbaugh's first four years, UM is 6-8 against ranked opponents in the regular season.
Beilein also inherited a dumpster fire at a football school. 6-8 is not great, Bob.
Harbaugh inherited a team that had lost to Rutgers the year before he arrived.
Gary Nova was not going to be denied a victory that year.
He also inherited two consecutive top 10 classes in transition from underclassmen to upperclassmen. Classes that made up the most successful draft class of all time at Michigan. He took over for a bad coaching staff but the cupboard was far for bare.
I think that 6-8 record is misleading though. Pretty sure some of his wins came against teams that were actually good but the pollsters didn't know it (Colorado, PSU 2016, Northwestern 2018) and pretty sure the vast majority of the losses are to not just ranked but top ten teams.
No need to make make comparisons though. They're both great coaches and will continue to do even better.
JB inherited bubble teams from a bubble coach; not a dumpster fire. He obviously took it to the next level after his initial transition year. Harbaugh inherited a sub .500 team and has finished at or near the top 10 in 3 of his first four years.
Alright, you guys win. Harbaugh rocks and Beilein sucks. Happy Friday.
See .... was that so hard?
And they both rock .... you suck
And Harbaugh inherited a dumpster fire of a football program at a basketball school. What’s your point?
Didn't really want to get into it, but Harbaugh inherited a very good roster IMO. He is not living up to my personal expectations is my point.
you Could have just stated facts and not added your own stupid “figure out how to beat ranked teams” commentary.
Where's the fun in that?
“Look, I’ve been coming here for years...I said 4 party subs not 3, look at how hungry our guys are... GEEZ”
“Look, I’ve been coming here for years...I said 4 party subs not 3, look at how hungry our guys are... GEEZ... (whispers to self) please pardon my language."
Fixed it.
Sideline reporter worthless.
Broadcast the Game.
Sounds like the start of a good Haiku
end of a good haiku
Though Molly is hot
Sideline reporter useless
Broadcast the damn game
"I average a banner a year for 7 years, but the football coach who is still working on his first is getting all the coverage with a gorgeous woman right behind me DURING MY TEAM'S FINAL HOME GAME OF A 17-1 HOME EFFORT. (puts his hands on his head) What was I thinking putting all of my glorious and talented eggs into the basket of a football school?"
Molly McGrath, eh?
I respect her.
Yea, she's bad AF.
YOU CALL THIS "SPEED IN SPACE!?"
"Threes in Face! Not Speed in Space!"
I just love that JB is losing his shit in a game where Michigan is up 22 late in the first half.
Beilein is a great coach because he has that ridiculous competitive edge, but he's still, you know, a human. Wanting your team to play hard up 22 with an entire half to play is reasonable and shows his focus. But when he was up thirty with a minute to go, he's talking to Harbaugh and Glick and laughing. And I've had enough interactions with Coach B to know he's a genuinely thoughtful, down to earth person.
Contrast that with guys like Dantonionionio, Saban, and Urbz who positively look like coaching is an eternal punishment for them and that there's nothing on earth worse than what they're doing right now. Harbaugh has done a better job balancing work with pleasure but even he has some room to grow
So you'd rather have a coach with a good work-life balance than one who wins consistently? Is that what you're saying?
no, i think he is saying "don't be deplorable cheating bastards like them. you can win the right way".
I'd rather have a coach that is a human being and actually has a soul.
Honest question...do fans really care about this stuff? All 3 of the coaches listed have accomplished more than Harbaugh. I still think he can get there, but shouldn't winning trump everything else?
I want nice guys with souls. Winning is just icing.
"I want nice guys with souls. Winning is icing."
So you're fine with giving Brady Hoke a lifetime Michigan contract right?
I'm not.
There was definitely a fair amount irony in my comment; I just thought my first sentence sounded funny.
It's obviously absurd to use "is nice" and "has a soul" as criteria for a coaching position. It's also kind of absurd how comfortable people are villainizing coaches of other schools and acting as if they're totally diabolical. It just seems silly this idea that our coaches are humanitarians and other teams' coaches (particularly of highly successful teams and/or teams that often beat us) are nihilistic sociopaths.
shouldn't winning trump everything else?
Not sure. Checking now with a source inside the locker rooms at Penn State; will advise soonest.
Yes. We care. And no, winning is not everything.
It's just a game dude. Was 1998 Rose Bowl the awesomest ever? Sure. But it's a game. If you get bent out of shape because your expectations are not being met and it's affecting your fandom, then I got 4 words for you.
Anyone who's been following the football team for the past 15 years should be used to disappointment.
Disappointed in the football team. No but why? Your parents are dissappinted. I'm dissapointed for them.
Winning is important and coaches are paid to win games. But it isn't everything. (Just like making money isn't everything.) It's one reason I admire John Beilein so much. He wins A LOT. But he is also a quality human being who has figured out that you don't have to sell your soul to win. Lots of coaches never learn that.
Yes, the score at the bottom of the picture is my favorite part of that clip!
That sweatshirt Harbaugh's wearing is pretty cool, I hope they sell it eventually.
I hope they wash it first.
