Who could do a better job than Harbaugh?
January 1st, 2020 at 5:59 PM ^
Most of the users on this board. Apparently.

Michigan issues aside, really great season for Minnesota and happy for them they were able to cap it with a solid bowl win.
January 1st, 2020 at 6:03 PM ^
Truly....sigh....I can't believe I am uttering these words...but I jealous of Minnesota. I would trade their current season for any of the 5 we have had with Jim Harbaugh.
January 1st, 2020 at 6:05 PM ^
Teams don’t approach Minnesota like they do Michigan.
January 1st, 2020 at 6:08 PM ^
Does Michigan know this?
January 1st, 2020 at 6:15 PM ^
Does Minnesota know this?
January 1st, 2020 at 6:29 PM ^
This is such a bs / loser's answer.
January 1st, 2020 at 6:40 PM ^
Newsflash: Nothing we say or do here matters nor does the team you support say anything about you as a person.
January 1st, 2020 at 6:52 PM ^
I thought this was all just "entertainment"...per your words. Why do you care so much about defending JH.
I don't hate or dislike JH, I just believe he has failed at year 5. I'm sure he is a decent guy. As a football coach he has not delivered what he was hired for. How many more years do you give a guy that has us as the 3rd best team in the B10?
January 1st, 2020 at 6:59 PM ^
Why do you insist on attacking him? I defend him because he is Michigan football. I support Michigan football. Do you?
Harbaugh isn't getting fired no matter how much you rant and rave.
January 1st, 2020 at 7:04 PM ^
Harbaugh is not "Michigan football"
No coach is more important than the team. I don't care if he played here 30 years ago.
January 1st, 2020 at 7:07 PM ^
Yes, he is. He played here and coached here. He is most definitely Michigan football. So is Bo, Yost, Lloyd, etc.
January 1st, 2020 at 7:07 PM ^
You are defending a Coach that clearly has Michigan trending in a negative way. I think JH has had enough time and it is clear he cannot get the job done. Time to make a change for the better of this program. Or, at the very least, find someone you can pay a whole lot less for the same result.
January 1st, 2020 at 9:48 PM ^
Because we've been down this road before. In case you don't remember, it sucked. "Oooh! We should get the new lightning boy coach!!!!'
January 1st, 2020 at 10:51 PM ^
One of those "lightning boy coaches" after a stop in Florida came to OSU and shoved it up our ass to the tune of 7-0.
January 1st, 2020 at 11:28 PM ^
3rd best team in the B10 East. 4th best team in the B10

Why would anyone downvote this? I tried to write a humorous post a while back in which I asked the question "Does Michigan's loss make me less of a person?" then I wrote a long religious explanation about how I wasn't a bad person in God's eyes because the college football team I love lost a game to Wisconsin. Only a couple of people though it was funny (It probably wasn't and I guess the religious stuff was in poor taste), but I was trying to say the same thing as Salvatore here. We put far too much personal stock in the college teams we follow, and it has made the game far less enjoyable.
Michigan lost, they're not an "elite" team, but that doesn't mean we aren't all decent people in one way or another. It's time now to hang your hat on something else for a few months. The season is over.
January 1st, 2020 at 6:52 PM ^
This is the arrogant attitude that poisons our program.
January 1st, 2020 at 6:56 PM ^
no, it's attitudes like yours.
January 1st, 2020 at 7:11 PM ^
Just look at all your "negs". Clearly you are on an island with your thoughts.
January 1st, 2020 at 8:23 PM ^
No he’s not.. reasonable people tend to avoid this site after a loss. Trending in the wrong direction.. really. Because they won so much before he got here. Lloyd never beat OSU after Tressel and started the down slide, then we know the rest of the history. OSU has a 15 year head start on Harbaugh. He’s gotten us back in the conversation at least. You put Minnesota in the East, that team has at least 4 losses. Michigan needs an elite qb that is more than just a pocket passer. Once we get an elite qb, they will be fine. I don’t think we have an elite qb on our squad. My HAWT take is Milton beats out DMac next year.
January 1st, 2020 at 8:37 PM ^
And Lloyd was a bad coach his last couple of years. Go look at the ridiculous talent he had on those teams the last 3-4 years. Not only should he have beaten OSU a couple of times those years, but should have been in contention for a NC.
Also, if Milton is our QB, we win no more than 7 games.
January 1st, 2020 at 9:16 PM ^
Based on what? We have evidence to show that DMac can’t stay healthy.
January 1st, 2020 at 8:48 PM ^
Harbaugh was not hired to bring us back to the late Lloyd years of losing to OSU every year.
Harbaugh, like every coach hired at a big time program, was hired to beat his rival once and a while and win a big ten title once and a while.
Harbaugh has not even elevated us to 2nd best in the big ten, that would be Penn State. Wisconsin is also better than us every other year despite recruiting way lower than us.
January 1st, 2020 at 7:12 PM ^
Let's sit by and do nothing. Smh clown
January 1st, 2020 at 6:03 PM ^
I am submitting my resume for the non-vacant head coaching position tomorrow.
my credentials include being a ten-year member of mgoblog and a rabid meme creator. I think I have a good shot.
January 1st, 2020 at 6:04 PM ^
“Has already done at Minnesota, with inferior players, what Harbaugh has yet to do at Michigan. “
Which is what exactly? He hasn’t won the conference.
January 1st, 2020 at 6:04 PM ^
Win an NY6 bowl
edit: my mistake for some reason thought they were playing in an NY6 bowl.
win 11 games

I know your fatalist attitude towards Michigan and your dead end job/life must be fun but please quit trying to shoot people down who yearn for more for the “winningest program in college football”
We get it. You love being just above mediocre.
January 1st, 2020 at 6:22 PM ^
Supporting a winning team doesn’t make you a winner, Loser.
What Michigan does or doesn’t do on the field says nothing about you. It doesn’t make you happier )other than for a few short hours), better looking, or healthier.
It’s just entertainment. To think that it is anything more than that is sign of intellectual depravity.
January 1st, 2020 at 6:29 PM ^
You're dragging this program and fanbase down with your pathetic lack of ambition. Root for Wisconsin, Iowa, or Illinois if you want to support a mediocre team that does things "the right way" and embarasses itself on the the national stage. Let us fans who want something better than 4 straight bowl game losses and an 0-5 record against our chief rival talk like adults.
January 1st, 2020 at 6:55 PM ^
You are a malignancy on the program. You are a shitty ass fan whose conduct hurts more than help s the program.
Bitching about things which you cannot control is really pointless.
January 1st, 2020 at 6:59 PM ^
Really Salvatore? It's already been proven the athletic department reads this blog. This blog was a big reason for our AD getting fired 5 years ago.
If you don't think the general attitude of the Michigan fanbase is represented on here then you have your head in the sand.
January 1st, 2020 at 7:04 PM ^
They don't see MGoBlog as being representative of the fanbase.
And do you really think Harbaugh is okay with any of this? How fucking deluded do you guys have to be to think you care a fraction as much as a guy who has deep connections to the program?
The arrogance here is truly astounding.
January 1st, 2020 at 7:41 PM ^
The general consensus on here is the same in the rest of my family, who doesn't post on here. My uncle is giving up his season tickets after 40 years.
It's also a similar consensus as to what everyone around me was saying as OSU put another ass beating on us in our own house.
Harbaugh can "not be okay" with any of this as much as he wants, that doesn't mean he can make it better. Do you think Hoke was okay with losing too?
January 2nd, 2020 at 5:28 AM ^
Ye, gods. If this place represents the average of Michigan fandom, we (and perhaps the entirety of civilization) are totally doomed.
January 1st, 2020 at 6:56 PM ^
Hey, leave Wisconsin out of this. They have been a better program than us for a decade plus.
We would be losing this game against Oregon, badly.
January 1st, 2020 at 6:30 PM ^
Thou dost protest too much Macbeth. For someone that claims this is just "entertainment", you sure to seem to care a whole lot about protecting Jim Harbaugh. If it's all entertainment just stop posting.
January 1st, 2020 at 6:07 PM ^
Okay?
January 1st, 2020 at 6:19 PM ^
Is your last name Harbaugh?
Dude, at least be fair and say that so far Harbaugh has Failed at the end of year 5. JH was hired for one reason only. To beat OSU, win B10 Championships and get us to a Playoff.
January 1st, 2020 at 6:29 PM ^
JH was hired for one reason only.
Ok...
To beat OSU, win B10 Championships and get us to a Playoff.
Uuuuuuhhh, that's... you know what, never mind. Have a great one champ!
January 1st, 2020 at 6:39 PM ^
Ok...How about this...here is what Harbaugh wasn't hired to do.
1. 0-5 vs OSU
2. 4 game Bowl losing streak
3. Be at best the 3rd best team in the B10 at year 5.
4. Have the most historic ass kicking in the 100+ year history of Michigan football verses OSU.
5. Have that same feat almost duplicated this year.
I mean I can go on if you want.
January 1st, 2020 at 6:54 PM ^
January 1st, 2020 at 7:20 PM ^
LMAO, you realize I was making a joke about how you said one reason and then proceeded to list 3 reasons.
Get a grip man.
January 1st, 2020 at 7:34 PM ^
uuuuuh...got it champ!
January 1st, 2020 at 7:53 PM ^
Good to hear slugger!
January 1st, 2020 at 11:53 PM ^
3rd? Where do you get that number.
We lost to OSU, PSU, UW this year, so that’s 4th right there. And Minn had a better record would have probably beaten us too, so that’s 5th. I only wish we were as good as 3rd.
January 1st, 2020 at 6:09 PM ^
Is this serious? Minnesota won the Outback Bowl. That's not NY6.
