(The internet site lists coaches with a min 50 games. To enable comparison with old timers, the site does not include playoff record. (JH was 5-3) but that would not significantly affect JH's relative ranking.  Note that I added in Jim's game today)

on here seem to have friends who are fans of rival fan bases who somehow think he will not succeed here. One of my good friends is a MSU fan and all he had to say was that Harbaugh is a great coach, but he thinks that he's psychotic. ha ha he also mentioned he would rather we hadn't acquired him.

I'd probably use better/different praise than "great" but after everything else plus the excerpt from 247 that Don posted a couple days ago I'm completely on board with psychotic. LSA and I were talkng about JH today and "lunatic", "unhinged", and "not all there" were used in glorious contexts.

I literally cannot contain my excitement, friends that have no interest in Harbaugh/Michigan have been hearing from me and they're probably sick of it.

Has has he actually left yet? If he's signed the contract, when does he officially take the UM job?  I don't know.  In any case, BB soon can claim to have the #1 active coach's win %.  But JH will still be #5 and BB #14 all time.
