Mike Florio of PFT still cannot accept that Jim Harbaugh left the NFL
Via CFT, Harbaugh separately complained that the NCAA makes up the rules as it goes. Of course, the NFL has been accused from time to time of doing the same thing.
But the NCAA seems to be even worse. For Harbaugh, the fact that he never ended up on the wrong side of the league office’s we’ll-do-what-we-want approach to rules enforcement reinforces that perception.
Which brings me (finally) to the broader, spinning-it-forward point. If Harbaugh has become sufficiently exasperated with the NCAA after only one season with Michigan, how long will it be until the guy who never stays at a job more than four years returns to the NFL?
Hmm. I hate the NCAA but love Michigan Football. I do not need to love both to be a Michigan fan. I am certain Jim sees it the same way.
If anything Harbaugh feeds off this stuff re the NCAA.
Also, has any narrative coming from NFL writers about Harbaugh been true yet? He won't leave the NFL for college....nope. His wife won't move from the Bay Area...false. He hates recruiting...uh, he just scheduled 38 satellite camps.
These guys are a joke.
And finally, it's amazing how Harbaugh moving up the career ladder quickly is somehow evidence he doesn't want to stay in one place for more than 4 years. Most good coaches do the same thing until they settle into the job they really want, which for Harbaugh is clearly Michigan.

Yeah, but for these NFL clowns, it's only sticking to their hands... and they don't see it.
I wish I had enough points to upvote this. +1 IOU upvote
Is there a gif where our player (I think it was Stribling) tripped on the stairs while doing the running man challenge? I think it was earlier in this clip. That was hilarious.
Thanks for this too!
That cracks me up. Gotta give him credit..a lesser man would have stayed down.
Good stuff!
+1 from me as well. Well played!
What did you do to get that much in a hole?
Oh darn, I just realized I've never been at a job for more than 4 years. I didn't realize I was such a flight risk. Jim Harbaugh should have stayed at SD for 10 years IMO.
So, Oakland is in play for you?
In fact, this is the first time since early 2015 that it was remotely funny, cool etc.

I am not sure that Oakland is in play for the Raiders.
Jim Tomsula agrees with that.
This will never end, this barely audible (most of the time) but constant undertone of beat writers and insiders (supposed insiders) that seem to be unable to accept that anyone would have a compelling reason to leave the NFL once there.
That, and I am sure Harbaugh has made clear in his language and actions that he intends to hang around in Ann Arbor a good long while, so I would love to know what cues Florio has missed or if there is some assumption being made that liking this position would necessarily mean less griping about the NCAA. I think Harbaugh makes these statement because he cares basically, and would like to see some changes. Why not advocate for them?
Well, Florio is the same guy who said all last year there was no chance Harbaugh would leave the NFL, then when he did, blamed it on the "lack of good options" in the NFL. No seriously.
metric fuckton (I learned that from the Hatter) of speculation after we win our next NC?
"Well, Harbaugh has pushed Michigan to the top of the NCAA mountain, the only place for him to go now is back to the NFL for the Superbowl win"
I hope they say that for the next 5 years in a row.
At this point I fully expect Harbaugh to coach here until he is ready to retire from football altogether.
You read that story, and you don't mention the one thing most worth mentioning? (Perhaps I missed it and it was discussed days or weeks ago).
“Football gets the majority of the scrutiny and the rules that are intended to hurt the student-athlete and it makes no sense,” Harbaugh said, via ESPN.com. “That’s why I’m pointing this out because some of these other sports aren’t getting it. . . . Let's take lacrosse for example. White sport, rising, affluent sport. Recruit ’em in the eighth grade, dark period for a couple days in August, and it’s a totally different situation.”
I suppose there's no way to discuss this quote without it delving ino politics, but...wow. Good for Mr. Harbaugh for saying that out loud.
Is probably the worst radio guy I have ever heard. At least the other blowhards on the air seem like they enjoy life. This guy seems like he's always in a bad mood and is an asshole.
Just wait. Harbaugh will be here 10 years and these articles will still be out there. NFL people just can't accept they are wrong sometimes.
NFL people can't accept that every coach doesn't aspire to be in the league. The idea that Harbaugh's dream job could be in college is something they don't seem able to comprehend or accept

You can look at the resume of just about any football coach and find the same progression.
Nick Saban's stays prior to Alabama:
Toledo - 1 year
MSU - 5 years
LSU - 5 years
Miami - 2 years
According to Florio, there's no way Saban lasts past 2011 in Tuscaloosa.
I don't like the guy, but there's no question he's made a nice living for himself by his ability to generate clicks for his website.
Here's the world's smallest violin playing "My Heart Weeps For You."
pffffft to the NFL
Starting a sentence off with "Mike Florio of PFT" is akin to saying "no offense, but..."
