Paul Finebaum is at it again......
On Golic and Wingo this morning, Paul Finebaum provided the latest quote of our Coach:
" I could pick up the yellow pages of college coaches right now, close my eyes and pick a better coach than Jim Harbaugh.”
I am honestly sick and tired of this guy. He offers nothing of value when discussing college football other than to tell us all how great Nick Saban is. I may be in the minority here with that opinion, but thought I would share this.

My thoughts on his quote are this, if Harbaugh is so bad at his job why do we constantly here his name in discussion for NFL jobs? Or is it that he didn't like being called "Pete"?
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:05 AM ^
I honestly don’t care if NFL teams want Harbaugh. You haven’t heard anything on that front really for a minute. And if he were to go back, I think he’d be in for a culture shock anyway considering the direction the nfl has taken with air raid mobile QBs.
It’s college stupid.
October 22nd, 2019 at 11:35 AM ^
Why the fuck would he be in culture shock? He’s see that week in and week out in the college game. Besides his brother is coaching Lamar Jackson ffs.... you dope!
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:07 AM ^
I think its hilarious that he is so bothered my Jim Harbaugh. It's not as if Harbaugh is talking about Finebaum in his press conference every week. Nonetheless, Finebaum gets clicks from it so he should be thanking Harbaugh behind closed doors.
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:08 AM ^
My life is so much better than it would be if I listened to sports talk radio. The Billy Joel Channel is back on Sirius XM. I don't know why I'd ever listen to Golic and Wingo, or Finebaum, or Valenti, or anyone at all, when I could be listening to the Billy Joel Channel.
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:11 AM ^
I actually listen to Big Drew and JIm in the afternoon, but all i have in the morning is Golic and Wingo sadly.
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:19 AM ^
I noticed yesterday morning that the show on the Billy Joel channel that was purportedly hosted by Billy Joel came up on my screen as "BJ the DJ," which seems more like a Howard Stern segment title.
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:08 AM ^
Isn't that Precious....?
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:10 AM ^
Who is finebaum anyway? like what has he even done? I ignore him because the guy doesn't matter.
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:11 AM ^
So stop listening idiot
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:12 AM ^
"I am honestly sick and tired of this guy." So... maybe just ignore him?
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:13 AM ^
No.Fucks.Given.Paul
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:14 AM ^
This is a shock. Professional troll trolled us.
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:14 AM ^
Is he our AD or a wealthy booster? Nope. He's an sec shill whose opinion is meaningless.
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:14 AM ^
Paul Fecal-bomb is talking shit, who would have guessed?
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:15 AM ^
Dude is an idiotic sec shill, who says hyperbolic things to draw attention to himself. Anybody with a brain knows Harbaugh is still a solid coach just hasn't been as great as we were hoping so far.
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:15 AM ^
Please note that posting Finebaum's comments on this board is forbidden. This is from the OP on the Moderator Action Sticky thread:
The Drew Sharp Memorial Don’t Feed the Professional Trolls Rule. Pete Finebaum has taken the place of the late Sharp. Valenti is on there too. If someone's trolling Michigan fans, don't spread it.
Thanks.

Gotcha, will not make this mistake again.
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:15 AM ^
Why can't we beat OSU now, but we could in the 90's and/or why can't we duplicate the success we had against them in the 90s? Is it as simple as we recruited better then and OSU recruited worse? Is it possible to ever beat them again without recruiting better or them recruiting worse? Will things ever go back to UM being able to compete with OSU?
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:19 AM ^
OSU was perennially better than UM in the 90s exception 1997.
Cooper just couldn’t beat Michigan. Thus he got canned and OSU owned Michigan since.
What a great gamble by them. Michigan would never have the gumption to do that
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:34 AM ^
Their ceiling is a little higher than ours. They're pretty much at it. We're nowhere near ours. Accordingly, wins shouldn't be _expected_.
If we suddenly got to our ceiling I'd expect us to win 3-4 out of 10.
The Cooper years distorted everyone's view. Look at OSU's record against us since 1969 outside of the Cooper years. Brace yourself.
Also, we had two guys (RichRod, Hoke) worse than Cooper.
October 22nd, 2019 at 11:02 AM ^
Look at OSU's record against us since 1969 outside of the Cooper years. Brace yourself.
Maybe you meant post 1999?
70s: 4-5-1
80s: 6-4
90s: 7-2-1
00s: 2-8
10s: 1-7-1 NC
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:49 PM ^
No, things probably won’t go back. Just like things never went back for Minnesota in their rivalry with Michigan. Deal with it.
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:16 AM ^
What are the yellow pages?
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:29 AM ^
It's the Maize Pages.
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:19 AM ^
I would never hear a word out of Paul Finebaum's mouth if it wasn't for this website.
- If you don't want to hear something negative about our coach, stop listening to people who continue to put out negative blurbs about our coach.
- Harbaugh can change these narratives by winning something meaningful.
- Harbaugh's name hasn't been linked to many NFL jobs lately. Seems like one ESPN analyst mentioned Harbaugh's name a possible along with 2 other coaches in the middle of the summer when ratings are dying for any content and Harbaugh's name gets clicks.
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:19 AM ^
To make it on TV, you no longer need to be a quality analyst. You just need to be a Twitter troll who is willing to say your tweets aloud on camera.
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:20 AM ^
So why make a post about what an idiot says?
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:21 AM ^
I don't watch ESPN.
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:24 AM ^
You actually listen to that guy?
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:26 AM ^
Well then Pete is the real idiot for picking M to make the playoff this year.
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:26 AM ^
That is what you get for listening to golic and wingo. Your bad.
October 22nd, 2019 at 1:04 PM ^
Thank you. Finally someone in this thread recognized the real crime.
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:27 AM ^
Sounds like Paul is posting in our game/snowflakes threads using like 15 different accounts.
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:27 AM ^
What’s a “Pete Finebum”? Sounds sexy.
October 22nd, 2019 at 11:57 AM ^
NEXT TIME... PUT a few dots and lines and NSFW!
JESUS FUCKIN CHRIST!
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:28 AM ^
I have no idea why people listen to ESPN radio (or watch their horrible morning shows) and then are surprised they have guys like Finebaum on. Just ignore him. He certainly doesn't believe half the shit he says, but he wants attention and posting about it proves it works.
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:30 AM ^
It's foolish to expect a pig to do anything more than grunt. . .
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:30 AM ^
Paul Finebaum has disliked Harbaugh since the satellite camps started as he resented Michigan trying to go in and poach SEC talent and take them up north. He's paid by ESPN who televises the SEC and he has a weekly show on TV that is carried on the SEC network. The fact that he doesnt like Harbaugh should be a great surprise to absolutely nobody and when he has a platform like this morning he's going to use it.
Personally I think Harbaugh should go full troll on all those bastards and instead of holding up random pictures for play calls we should use Union army Civil War general pics instead. Imagine how insane Finebaum would go if THIS was some sort of play call......
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:35 AM ^
Civil War idea: Awesome.
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:40 AM ^
War is Hell.
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:59 AM ^
My God. This would be perfect. Use pictures of Grant, Sheridan and Sherman. Could even throw in some Lincoln.
October 22nd, 2019 at 11:01 AM ^

I mean you wanna see finebaum go full southern confederate dumbass look no further than the Hank Williams Obama MNF controversy
October 22nd, 2019 at 1:13 PM ^
Or recently as a month ago when he called the University of Miami* a 3rd world program...having no (or ignoring) the fact that oh I dunno, many Cuban refugees populate the area. Dude is...he's nothing.
*Because they played Florida in week 0 and honestly, could've/should've beat them. I'm sure he said this after a dipshit caller agged him on but nonetheless, typical southern charm.
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:46 AM ^
The Golic and Wingo show is pure trash. Commenting on Finebaum is almost unnecessary at this point as the world knows he is a complete dope. This was the guy that said before this season that Tennessee is back and will start winning NC's soon. Outside of Gameday, ESPN pretty much blows. Amazing they could fit in some CFB talk around the NBA.
October 22nd, 2019 at 10:47 AM ^
I'll give Finebaum credit that his trolling is usually more subtle. This is just dumb. I can name maybe 10-15 coaches who are probably superior to Harbaugh, maybe a few who are unproven/unclear, and the rest are in no way a better coach than Jim Harbaugh.
