Will this man be at the Citrus Bowl?

I'm hoping this guy will be at the Citrus Bowl.

I do hope he's there, because this guy might be there:

But then again, I haven't seen him in a couple years too.

 

 

After watching some of the sloppiness in yesterday's less known Bowl Games, it was reaffirmed to me that, to be at the top, a head coach has to have a drill sergeant in him. I thought Jim Harbaugh had one in him:

I don't understand the whole "give me passionate crazy Jim Harbaugh".  Personally, I would like "Actually Beats Ohio State and Wins a Bowl Game in the Same Year" Jim Harbaugh.  I don't care if he is going crazy on the sidelines or playing Connect Four with Nico Collins. 

Just freaking prepare your team and make Michigan look like it actually belongs on the same field as Alabama.

I want the same.

It's just that I watched every 49er game when he was there. I saw those things in the gifs happen live. I remember the game with the intensity on his face, and spit flying out between his teeth. It was a playoff game. They showed that clip, in slow motion, as they were going to a commercial break.

I don't care if he throws a clipboard or headset. I don't want that. That's not the point at all. I do want him back to passion and intensity. The top is a very small place. It's very hard to get there. His intensity level the past 3 years is good for 10-2, or 9-3. If that's enough for him, that's ok. But if he is intending to go for 11-1, and possibly getting 12-0, I'd like to know. I don't see that now though. I don't know if I ever will again. The way things are the last 3 years maybe have already shown me what he wants.

No, that guy left 3 years ago.

 

 

 

This guy is here now:

I'm not as tech savvy as others so once a quick Google search didn't come up with anything I have up. But, there was a great JH intense fist pump "Yes!" after the Files Jackson TD against OSU a few weeks ago. Unfortunately it faded as our team did. But, it's always there waiting to come out, but the team has to perform.

He was back from the moment of that touchdown to the moment of that extra point attempt.  If we are honest with ourselves we all could have all just turned the game off when he missed that.

It made absolutely no sense.  What was crazy about it, if anybody has any lingering hope that JH was some football savant genius, it was dispelled right there.  What was gained by “showing it” against Indiana?  What advantage was gained.   Made sure OSU was ready for it?  Kept them honest against trying to block the PAT?  What was the damn point.

It honestly felt like Harbaugh trying to do something those “smart coaches do” and failing comically at it.  SMH

What?  In 2008 and 2009 they had the 3rd best classes in the country with a bunch of 5 stars.  Saban started bringing in talent right away, that was the biggest factor in helping him win a bunch of national titles.  Not being a jackass on the sidelines.

And without winning National Championships recruiting would have dropped off. He would not have all the 5 stars he has year after year.

I can't see how you can separate who Nick Saban is, in his intensity, and say he would still be the same without it, in every way, including in recruiting. I'm not saying he throws fits at recruits houses like he does on the sidelines. But there is no way his intensity is left at the door when he goes to visit a recruit and his family.

And I'm also saying he has not been like that on the sidelines for 2 years. And not coincidentally, Alabama got blown away in the National Championship last year, and has 2 losses this year, and didn't make the playoffs.

And Jim Harbaugh lost his intensity 3 years ago. The team had been building in 2015 and 20216. But it doesn't feel like they have been building over the last 3 years.

Or does it?

You seriously think him being less intense on the sidelines is why they haven't won the national championship the past 2 years?  Maybe Clemson just had a better team last year.  Maybe LSU just has a better team this year, and then they lost their starting QB and potential #1 overall pick and then lost to Auburn.  There are plenty of reasons for why Alabama has gone a whole 2 years without winning a national title, and Saban throwing his headset less is low on that list.
