Harbaugh Forgets Rutgers HC's Name
Yeah, I'm pretty sure everybody involved with this team was looking past Rutgers. Harbaugh didn't even do enough research to learn Ash's name.

More like Chris Ass
November 11th, 2018 at 4:39 AM ^
More like "Chris Ass".
But homeboy did look sleep-deprived. Like "I'll say words, but I'm only up here on pure adrenalin from caffeine. Btw, what am I saying, ah whatever this is the easy part of the job. I'm really just thinking about beating OSU and saying word-things to you while dreaming about creating more plays to beat non-JV teams.
Oh shit, where was I ? Oh. Yeah, that team is GREAT. Yep , totally not bad. Yep yep."
November 11th, 2018 at 7:23 AM ^
Yawn.
November 10th, 2018 at 8:17 PM ^
I'm betting they spent more time preparing for OSU this week than they did for rutger
November 10th, 2018 at 9:43 PM ^
To be fair, does rutger fan know the name of their coach, I think not!
November 10th, 2018 at 8:20 PM ^
Rob is best friends with Pete Finnebaum. Honest mistake IMO
November 10th, 2018 at 8:23 PM ^
Oh, I'm sure it was an honest mistake. I just thought it was hilarious.
November 10th, 2018 at 8:20 PM ^
Our great coach ain't right, and I love that.
November 11th, 2018 at 1:45 AM ^
None of the great ones are. I think it's a prerequisite. Or a result... Take your pick.
November 10th, 2018 at 8:21 PM ^
It's not like it matters. Mr. Ash will only be there another couple of weeks.
November 10th, 2018 at 8:21 PM ^
Let him then forever be known as Rob Ass
November 11th, 2018 at 4:06 PM ^
Harbaugh's team took out the RobAsh
November 10th, 2018 at 8:23 PM ^
Wow, cool. Thanks for making an entire thread about a misstatement. This is the stuff of giggling teen girls not MGoBlog board commentary. But then.....
November 10th, 2018 at 8:25 PM ^
Hey, you clicked on it. That makes you at least partially responsible.
November 10th, 2018 at 8:39 PM ^
I don't know if I can impress upon the overarching importance of laughter in one's life, but I will try do so if you would let me...
November 10th, 2018 at 9:00 PM ^
I just read through a chunk of Garmoe’s posting history. There’s an argument this guy should be banned. Take a look and see what you think.
November 10th, 2018 at 9:55 PM ^
Yeah, this is a carbon copy of just about every one of his posts.
November 17th, 2018 at 9:37 AM ^
LOL - I only criticize where doing so is warranted. Sorry that my doing so got your panties in a bunch. Honestly, if being critical of the basis for a thread was a ban-worthy offense, this place would be rather empty. You really spend time locating and reading thru others’ comments? Why in the world would anyone with any semblance of a life waste their time like that? I likely asked and answered my own question there.
November 10th, 2018 at 8:44 PM ^
You have done nothing but complain. Why are you here?
November 10th, 2018 at 8:53 PM ^
She’s a sparty troll
November 10th, 2018 at 9:50 PM ^
Oh, you're bitching again. Shocker.
November 10th, 2018 at 10:12 PM ^
It's board worthy. NJ.com has a full article on it. Go complain over there
November 10th, 2018 at 10:44 PM ^
Giggling teen girls...no. Beavis and Buttheads...yes.
November 11th, 2018 at 1:47 AM ^
You must be a blast at parties
November 10th, 2018 at 8:24 PM ^
Eh, there must be a Rob on that coaching staff, somewhere...and he received high praise from Coach.
November 10th, 2018 at 8:30 PM ^
Sometimes he just forgets names or isn't focused on them. It's a quirk. He confused Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech once:
"Beamer leans back in his chair and loosens a memory from late 2010. The Hokies of Virginia Tech, where Beamer has coached for the last 28 autumns, were preparing to play Stanford in the Orange Bowl. A few days before the Jan. 3 game, Beamer met the Cardinal head coach—Harbaugh—at an event at a restaurant in Miami.
“After we take some pictures, we start talking, just the two of us,” Beamer said. “Jim says over and over how much respect he has for Georgia Tech. He must have said it five times. I’m just looking at him like, ‘Are you serious?’
“Finally, I’m joking with him and I say I can’t wait to tell my team that you called us Georgia Tech. Because, you know, we’re Virginia Tech.”
Harbaugh then threw his infamous shark expression at Beamer: mouth agape, eyes on fire, looking poised to chomp. Harbaugh’s assistants have seen this look for years; he sometimes holds it for about 30 seconds without speaking, causing everyone in eyeshot to wonder what is flowing through his mind—if anything.
Beamer continued to lock eyes with Harbaugh for a few moments, waiting for him to say something, anything. It may have been the most uncomfortable silence of Beamer’s life.
“Well,” Harbaugh finally told Beamer. “I can’t wait to tell my players that you said you were going to play Samford, not Stanford!” He then turned and walked away."

Holy shit that is a good story ?
November 10th, 2018 at 10:00 PM ^
... and now Beamer is on the Playoff Committee. Hopefully he doesn't confuse Michigan with Oklahoma.
November 10th, 2018 at 10:46 PM ^
If he's looking at defense, that's doubtful.
November 10th, 2018 at 11:07 PM ^
"Samford" 40 "Georgia Tech" 12
....don't piss off the Harbaugh.
November 10th, 2018 at 8:39 PM ^
It’s Mike Jones.
November 10th, 2018 at 8:50 PM ^
Double post.
November 10th, 2018 at 8:45 PM ^
Hey Rob!! Good game!! Heck of an effort!!
November 10th, 2018 at 8:53 PM ^
His handshake with Jim was very dismissive. Even Mork showed more embrace. I’m expecting Urban to have a headache and not be able to shake hands.
November 10th, 2018 at 8:55 PM ^
He meant Rob Rutger of course.
November 10th, 2018 at 8:59 PM ^
Intentional. Like Pete Finebaum.
November 10th, 2018 at 9:01 PM ^
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
November 10th, 2018 at 9:12 PM ^
Well that worked well Scott.
November 10th, 2018 at 9:15 PM ^
Can we discount the possibility that he knew Ash's name and called him "Rob" anyway?
November 10th, 2018 at 9:58 PM ^
Incidentally, there was a football coach named Rob Ash, who was a lot more accomplished than Cryin' Chris.
November 11th, 2018 at 1:00 AM ^
Who Harbaugh apparently knows, which explains this whole thing.
November 10th, 2018 at 10:07 PM ^
More likely Harbaugh got it correct and everyone else forgot.
November 10th, 2018 at 10:19 PM ^
From the comments:
"Calling him Rob was the most accurate thing he said in his statement"
"I sold my seats to a wolverine fan"
November 11th, 2018 at 12:07 AM ^
Thank you for the LOL. I may have been drinking, but that is funny.
November 10th, 2018 at 11:27 PM ^
Judging by Harbaugh's words, expressions, tone, etc, he was not disrespecting Chris Ash or Rutger. Shit, he said RutgerS so that gives it away. Honest mistake. No disrespeKt! I give credit to Rutger, they did look like they cared and they played hard. Hats off.
November 10th, 2018 at 11:30 PM ^
Rob Ash = Rubbish. The coach is rubbish. This was totally deliberate.
November 11th, 2018 at 2:15 AM ^
Average score against Rutger is 51-9 in the Harbaugh era.
