This is your future under Jim Harbaugh

I agree, that was my point.  Great coaches will have some losses and we shouldn't discount Harbaugh if he struggled against the #1 team in the country.

I'm looking to see improvement in our defense, and like most RR supporters am fine with cleaning house on the DC side of the staff.

My point is this: if our goal at Michigan is to win MNCs, it's far from obvious that Harbaugh will get us there. Sure, Harbaugh would do consistently well -- but "consistently well" isn't what we are shooting for.

The tough few years we've had while transitioning to the RR-style offense have been difficult to bear. But the guy deserves a chance to see what he can do with upperclassmen on both sides of the ball.

the middle of the Big Ten.  You can't play for the MNC if you don't win in your conference.

Harbough won a national championship at San Diego. RR hasn't won one on any level. Your argument that RR's potential winning future championships is greater doesn't make sense.



Harbough is not equivalent to Lloyd Carr. He is a much more aggressive coach. Maybe a little more like Moeller when the offensive game plan was play to win and score at every chance instead of conservative playcalling / playing not to lose and allowing lesser teams to stay close.

Are you delusional?  So its fair to say Stanford is a solid school, but when it comes to football its not nearly as big time as michigan (despite 3 yrs of shit). So sayin a coach who has a 11-1 record at stanford, can't make the ceiling natty's is like saying stanford is better then michigan. We have better facilities, a beautiful stadium, and have a big time history. It would be so much easier to recruit, so you can only imagine given a year or two plus the talent on the roster that his team would have a very solid possiblity of being even more talented then his 11-1 team at stanford. Don't get me wrong i'll admit im on the fence, and just want to see michigan get back to prominence, but you can make arguements for both and thats an arguement for harbaugh. He has some serious swagger, and would definetly shake up the big ten. Lets be real alot of ppl on here dont want to even think of the possiblity of Harbaugh coaching here, but it is in all reality a serious possiblity so its not dumb when people give reasons why he could succeed here too. O and the what's your deal thing with carrol was awesome too. Go Blue!

Ok then "dude" why do you get so freaked out when somebody says something negative against michigan? maybe if you actually listen to what he's saying, you might actually agree with some of it. He wants michigan to hold it self to a higher standerd. so should you. The defensive stance that nobody can say anything bad about us because we're michigan, that hasn't been working for us too well lately.

But why is it Harbaugh or bust? Seems like the debate before the Patriot Act was passed in Congress.

There are a lot of emotional decisions to be judge, jury and excutioner on Rich Rod and Harbaugh.

I want to see the numbers and whether he is an alcoholic still?

I will not go back on it. I don't care if he pulls a tressel in his first appearance, what he said was an embarrassment, and like I said a few days ago, I would turn in my season tickets. It's not just about winning games, it's how you represent yourself and your university.

can guarantee you that

Harbaugh needs to undouche himself before I could stand to see him coach here.

How can you forgive his comments about Michigan unless he asks for forgiveness in the first place?  Besides, he's just dug that hole deeper with his "I would've gone to Stanford if they'd offered me" BS.

Damn this season.

The problem with that scenario is it requires winning the Big Ten championship.
