Finebaum: "Jim Harbaugh is the Donald Trump of CFB"

Submitted by BTB grad on

I apologize for the link from the Worldwide Leader, but the lead SEC cheerleader Paul Finebaum had an interesting take on Harbaugh ruffling feathers with the SEC, comparing the reaction of SEC coaches to Harbaugh's actions to the reactions of GOP candidates to Donald Trump. Of course he found a way to throw in some love for his beloved SEC:

"The SEC is at the vanguard of college athletics . . . The rest of the country is supposed to be reacting to the SEC, not the other way around. What has Jim Harbaugh done?" 

Jim Harbaugh is the Donald Trump of #CFB

Is a conservative. I have never had a problem with anyone from an opposing political party, most of my friends are from a different party than I am. Actually, it's worse to me if you are a Buckeye or a Spartan. Then we have a problem.

This whole thread is off the rails now... if Finebaum compares Harbaugh to literally ANYONE half the people on here are gonna hate the person.

"Harbaugh is NOT like Mother Theresa - he KICKS ASS!!!"

"Harbaugh is NOT like Martin Luther King - he would take those fire hoses and Billy clubs and turn them back on the racist cops!"

"Harbaugh is NOT like King Arthur - he said everone should sit at a Round Table where no one was at the head! Sounds like something Bernie Sanders would do!"

I could go on...

Look, I want Jim Harbaugh to coach our football team - I don't want to have a political debate with him - or about him. If you read his Player's Tribune piece about growing up in A2 you'd know any money he has he EARNED with hard work and ingenuity. He didn't inherit it or bankrupt any pensions getting it. He didn't package any CDOs or offshore any blue collar jobs either...(And I am absolutely convinced that the more people on here or in general are terrified of a Bernie Sanders type economic plan the more likely they did one or all of those things. Sorry, but that's how I see it. The more you protest the more convinced I'll become)

And if you read the piece about him where his friend from youth recalls the time JH wouldn't even participate in a group project that began with the premise that there was no God and how do you create a value system in such a world (to paraphrase, I don't recall it exactly). He was so set in his beliefs he refused to even entertain any notion that disagreed with them.

So, yeah, keep coaching the team and doing the great job you're doing Jim, because I'm not getting in any political, religious or philosophical debates with ya, Big Guy!

Actually I didn't make a political statement - you just wrongly assumed that. You see, Trump existed well before he threw his hat into the presidential race, and I have long disliked his views, business dealings and ethics.

But you go on thinking you know what is up, cuz your mother must have told you that you're smart and special.
