Hypothetical Urban Vs Jim
Here is a hypothetical, I am curious to hear peoples opinions on?
If Michigan had a clone of Urban Meyer as coach the last 4 years instead of JH, what would our record be against OSU? This assumes that OSU is still the same team with the same coach they have been for the last 4 years? I mostly look at it from strictly Xs and Os, staff, and game management standpoint. However, you could also consider potential recruiting differences etc.
I ask this to illustrate my opinion of a what I think is a false narrative our there. That since JH is 0-4 vs OSU therefore he must not be as good of a coach. I think you can make a good argument that UM would still be 0-4 against OSU in my hypothetical scenario, of clone Urban. Too often people want to make things black and white without context.
What say you?

I think Urban has gotten better recruits but walked into a much easier recruiting situation. Harbaugh has had to scratch and claw to get every recruit, whereas Urban has kids standing in line to get an offer. The talent discrepancy has been stark from when Harbaugh walked onto campus, this is the big difference between the programs.
