most annoying coaches
August 7th, 2019 at 11:15 AM ^
Izzo
August 7th, 2019 at 11:23 AM ^
correct
By far, and it's not even close. Gets away with more BS during a game than anyone.
August 8th, 2019 at 11:43 AM ^
I expect even people who dislike Michigan would agree if the question was which coach don't you want at the university your daughter is attending Jim H should not be receiving votes on that list unlike a lot of other past and current Big Ten coaches.
Or which coach do you not want your child recording practices for.
August 7th, 2019 at 11:15 AM ^
I read that article and then checked to see who penned it..... Now I know to avoid anything written by that dipshit.
August 7th, 2019 at 11:17 AM ^
Besides Uncle Urbz and Brian "the human eggplant" Kelly I would say Rick Pitino. What. A. Dick.
If you're into buying futures I recommend Scott Frost.
August 8th, 2019 at 11:52 AM ^
You find Rick Pitino annoying? I think he's surprisingly likable for a no good lying and cheating sack of human garbage. Maybe it's because he dresses so dapper.
August 7th, 2019 at 11:18 AM ^
Honest question: has Harbaugh ever done that?
His comments about the officiating after the 2016 OSU game might be the closest you'd come, but that's a real stretch.
He really has not hesitated to shake things up when they're not working, so I don't see it.
August 7th, 2019 at 11:22 AM ^
If I had to guess it is probably because he fired his offensive coordinators. Lol.
August 7th, 2019 at 11:52 AM ^
Every coordinator/position coach that he has fired has improved said position.
Doesnt that hat mean he’s right?
August 7th, 2019 at 11:22 AM ^
Yeah, I don't recall him ever blaming anyone else outside of that game.
If they said his sideline antics then maybe I could see that but this is just straight up clickbait by them using a high-profile coach.
August 7th, 2019 at 11:59 AM ^
He hasn’t really had any antics the last two seasons though. Been much more mellow since 2016. Kind of miss it actually.
August 7th, 2019 at 11:20 AM ^
Dantonio.
My only entry.
August 7th, 2019 at 12:16 PM ^
I don't find him super annoying. The guy is just an angry human being.
Bears a striking resemblance to Oscar the Grouch
August 7th, 2019 at 11:20 AM ^
Clickbait, says I. Nothing more.
August 7th, 2019 at 11:23 AM ^
Sports bling dot com? What would make one click that? You're better off clicking on the buzzfeed shit where a guy fixes plumber's crack with this one weird trick.
August 7th, 2019 at 12:25 PM ^
Or what Type of condiment are you
August 7th, 2019 at 12:26 PM ^
Tell us the weird trick you tease. I want to know how to fix a plumber's crack.
August 7th, 2019 at 12:32 PM ^
Plumber's putty.
August 7th, 2019 at 11:26 AM ^
2015 and 2016 Harbaugh? Yeah, a little annoying and embarrassing at times. Since then he has toned it down a ton and anyone who complains about him is mostly doing so out of spite for Michigan on the whole.
Dantonio has bothered me since day 1, but I also attribute a lot of that to MSU fans being incapable of admitting he's an asshole every bit as much as they perceive Harbaugh to be.
Meyer for obvious reasons.
Izzo for the exact reason that site you mentioned claims to hate about Harbaugh. Except Izzo has been doing it for decades and to a crazy degree.
Dabo's sanctimonious claims of religious moral superiority annoy the crap out of me.
Ol purple face shouldn't be allowed near civilization in general the way he acts. As someone who had coaches like him in high school and college, I could never compete for that asshole.
August 7th, 2019 at 12:17 PM ^
I miss the 2015/2016 Harbaugh. I like it when he gets all pissed and fired up. Those asshole paid (extra, of course, by OSU and the Big Ten) referees from the 2016 UM/OSU game had to ruin him.
August 7th, 2019 at 11:27 AM ^
PJ Fleck is annoying in his own special way. But nobody---NOBODY---annoys like Mike D'antnoyni.
August 7th, 2019 at 12:27 PM ^
If I had to work in an office, it would be this one.
August 7th, 2019 at 11:27 AM ^
Does the story (which you didn't link) give examples of JH blaming others for "his failures as an offensive coach"? Because, honestly, I've never heard him throwing blame at people without also including himself. I mean, if replacing an OC or OL coach means you're 'blaming others', then every head coach in every sport is guilty. Sounds like nothing more than a personal ax, and that's without even reading the story!
I seriously don't understand what people hate about Harbaugh. He speaks openly and truthfully, he doesn't throw people under the bus, never blames or harasses players or fans, and never fails to answer an honest (and worthy) question. When he doesn't answer, it's because the question is beyond stoopid or aimed at trapping him somehow (completely out of left field, like his first Rome interview). He never promised anything when he was hired, either!
August 7th, 2019 at 11:55 AM ^
It does not. Below is the full excerpt regarding why they ranked Harbaugh as the most annoying...it’s 98% rhetoric, 2% facts:
”Harbaugh was supposed to make Michigan title contenders again. Instead, he's failed to beat Ohio State, has been embarrassed in bowl games, and has wasted the talents of NFL players with three and four-loss seasons. The problem with Harbaugh, however, is that he's kept up this tough football coach bravado and Stanford-esque "smartest guy in the room" persona despite the fact that his archaic offense isn't translating into Ws at the college level. I'm sure when he goes 10-4 next year, he'll find some way to blame someone other than himself.”

August 7th, 2019 at 11:28 AM ^
When has Harbaugh ever blamed anyone besides himself for problems/mistakes (aside from calling out the refs for their mistakes)?
August 7th, 2019 at 11:30 AM ^
My Top 8 Most annoying coaches:
-Izzo
-Urbz
-Mork
-Scott Frost
-Calipari
-Tom Crean
-Bobby Hurley
-Richard Pitino
Good list, I would add Frames Janklin to it
August 7th, 2019 at 11:32 AM ^
Writing an article about “annoying” coaches screams I want clicks but don’t want to do any actual research or choose a topic that shows any depth of knowledge because I have none.
August 7th, 2019 at 11:32 AM ^
Giving up control of the offense is the opposite of blaming others
August 7th, 2019 at 11:33 AM ^
I can see people on other teams being annoyed at Harbaugh, but I don't think it's because he doesn't take responsibility.
August 7th, 2019 at 11:40 AM ^
I can totally understand people not liking Harbaugh. He's unusual among high level coaches and he gets a lot of press.
However, as you say, he's never thrown someone under the bus - even when they deserved it (Pep). Brian Kelly on the other hand talked shit about his staff and players by name. Kelly is a genuine dickhead, but probably less annoying to people than Harbaugh because he's less visible.
August 7th, 2019 at 11:34 AM ^
Izzo hands down for me. Coach K would be right there as a close second. Pete Carroll was one I couldnt stand at USC. Dabo's aww shucks religious crap is annoying as well. Scott Frost as well
I go with Coach K, for the sanctimonious attitude. But Izzo has gotten more annoying as he has gotten further removed from his title and more desperate to excuse not getting another.
August 7th, 2019 at 11:35 AM ^
The more HATE the better. (And it is a complete BS. I don't remember him ever saying negative things about his OC and coaches on Offense. He replaced them quite a bit just like any good coach should do)
August 7th, 2019 at 11:36 AM ^
We live in an age where the internet has given all the information in the world to anyone at their fingertips and despite that it has made everyone collectively dumber.
August 7th, 2019 at 11:43 AM ^
Izzo
K
Calipari
Mantonio
Kevin Stallings
Urban
B Kelly
August 7th, 2019 at 11:38 AM ^
Did they ask for a check until the "Prince's" money is available?
August 7th, 2019 at 11:49 AM ^
Whoa... James Franklin belongs on that list too!!
August 7th, 2019 at 12:28 PM ^
I'm not sure that annoying is the best derogatory term for him, but he's a complete piece of shit.
Agree and probably the most over-rated coach in the B1G and one of the top 5 most over-rated coaches in the country. He has some head scratching, on field decisions over the last 3 to 4 years.
August 7th, 2019 at 11:55 AM ^
It always amazes me how much others/rivals dislike anything to do with Michigan. Harbaugh is a perfect foil for that but not the only one.
Example - I just listened to the M season preview done by Off Tackle Empire Podcast. They cover the entire B1G but the hosts are MSU and Illini Alums. It went just about as expected. They absolutely HATE the offseason/ preseason attention Michigan gets i.e. the whole “Speed in Space” stuff. That would be enough, but the last 5 minutes of the podcast was apparently outtakes from a previous show where they rant about how much they are looking forward for Michigan hoops to suck and Juwan Howard to fail. Apparently this will happen after all Beilein’s kids leave post this season. They further claim that all M fans are fine with Howard/M going back to the “rampant cheating” of the fab five era.
I do love me some Spartan schadenfreude on occasion and enjoy Scott Bell’s Twitter. Other than that don’t think much about our rivals so I cannot really understand the hatred/envy of these folks. (Disclaimer - I do listen to a LOT of podcasts from other teams I.e. UW, PSU, MSU, ND but that is mainly football season “prep” when I run out of M fare.)
August 7th, 2019 at 12:00 PM ^
After reading today's Draftaggedon about OL, I'll say Tim Drevno.
August 7th, 2019 at 12:28 PM ^
The name sends a shudder down my spine. Still.
August 7th, 2019 at 12:33 PM ^
He's shitty, which isn't the same as annoying.
August 7th, 2019 at 12:05 PM ^
Coach K
Mike Gundy
August 7th, 2019 at 12:16 PM ^
He's annoying to the media because he's a non conformist. He makes them earn it, which is annoying for them to have to do their jobs...
August 7th, 2019 at 12:20 PM ^
"I got an email this morning from a site called ncaa at sportsbling.com"
Uh... what? Are you sure you didn't start a shitty website and you figured this would be a good way to drum up some traffic?
