Harbaugh Debunks NFL Rumors
"This is a choreographed message that comes up at this time every year before signing day," Harbaugh told ESPN this weekend. "It's people spreading messages to further their own personal agenda.
"But I'm on record right here, right now: I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying at Michigan. We have big plans here, and there's a lot we want to accomplish."

Someone let Dax Hill know :/
December 9th, 2018 at 11:50 AM ^
62-39, with nothing scored by the offense in the 3rd qtr after half time adjustments, and Alabama, again, making an impressive comeback on Georgia, did let him know what to do.
December 9th, 2018 at 12:00 PM ^
Are you sure? Because nobody has brought that up yet.
December 9th, 2018 at 12:08 PM ^
Well, yeah, it's an obscure point. You need a trained eye to pick it out.
December 9th, 2018 at 1:43 PM ^
0 MGoPoints and the user started last week.
I’m going out on a limb and suggest there is a troll in our midst.
December 9th, 2018 at 1:44 PM ^
Is there a point you're trying to make? The only thing I see there is the hot chick in heels.
December 9th, 2018 at 1:50 PM ^
Wow, some idiot living in his moms basement is spending his weekend trolling a message board.
December 9th, 2018 at 3:53 PM ^
If he doesn't group think he must be a troll.
December 9th, 2018 at 8:14 PM ^
You're not wrong you're just an asshole.
Take it from me, I'd know.
Maybe you should just show yourself out. You would if you had any dignity.
December 9th, 2018 at 9:18 PM ^
Could you speak English.
My point was pretty simple. Daxton Hill did not leave for obscure reasons.
Please check this link:

"Michigan's defense is an NFL factory too. Hill chose Bama for a lot of reasons but the first was because they go to the playoffs almost every year and win championships, and Michigan's latest chance to become one of those programs was two weeks ago and ended in an unmitigated disaster."
Which was in reply to this:

"Dax Hill chose Alabama because their defense is an NFL factory. Chalking it up to anything less makes us sound like sore losers."
Just because someone doesn't think like you doesn't mean they're an asshole or a troll. I've probably been a Michigan fan longer than you've been alive.
It appears I have higher expectations than most here. I want Michigan to get National Championships. Nothing else matters. "You play to win the game".
December 9th, 2018 at 11:13 PM ^
So, Mr. Underpants gnome, what's the next step on the road to profit?
December 12th, 2018 at 9:03 AM ^
You guys are giving him exactly what he wants. Stop doing that, and they'll go away.
December 9th, 2018 at 1:54 PM ^
If only we got rolled by Purdue and not a top 5 team. We missed our chance to get blasted by Indiana by 29 points so we can hold our heads high like OSU. Our recruting rankings and coaching resumes say 7th is just about right. OSU sandbagging and acting like they beat some giant is silly. Say what you will about Bama but at least they play the front runner role like a front runner. They dont celebrate beating Auburn like they over came some huge disadvantage.
December 9th, 2018 at 2:56 PM ^
No OSU fans are acting like beating Michigan was like beating a giant. We just beat the same team we beat every year.
December 9th, 2018 at 12:35 PM ^
You know, I honestly wonder what would have happened if Zach Gentry had just caught the two passes that hit him in the hands. Immediately after what would have been first downs were the blocked punt and the interception.
I blame Harbaugh for not walking the ball from Shea Patterson's hands into Zach Gentry's hands.
December 9th, 2018 at 12:45 PM ^
Similarly, what if metellus intercepted, gardner converted the two point play, or the refs correctly spotted the ball short? Maybe let's try not to be in a position where our fate lies in a single play's outcome. To some degree, that is the coaching.
December 9th, 2018 at 2:59 PM ^
bullshit. The drops are indeed on Harbaugh and the offensive game plan. Running the ball into a brick wall on 1st and 2nd down, and then trying to convert a 3rd down pass is a predictable and unreliable way to play the game. I think Jim thought we could play conservatively on offense and rely on our defense to win the game, but obviously this was not the case. Still the game plan is on Harbaugh 100%.
December 9th, 2018 at 4:14 PM ^
So, you want JH to make the catches? This part of your comment is bad and you should feel bad about it.
December 9th, 2018 at 1:50 PM ^
December 9th, 2018 at 2:03 PM ^
Just stop, dude.
December 9th, 2018 at 2:40 PM ^
The fact is no one but Dax and maybe his closest confidants knows why he flipped. We can speculate all we like, but none of us has any basis for claiming to “know” his reasons.
December 9th, 2018 at 12:05 PM ^
Have you ever noticed that the NFL never clamors for Saban to return? The guy sucked when he couldn't engineer a distinct talent advantage.
December 9th, 2018 at 12:09 PM ^
Salary cap does not exist in the SEC. the nfl does not want Saban because he failed there, 15-17
December 9th, 2018 at 12:18 PM ^
Hard to entice a player with money when he's already making it.
But it doesn't change the fact that Saban knows how to get it done in college, legal or not. The best want to play for him. The same can not be said about Harbaugh.
December 9th, 2018 at 12:27 PM ^
They are screaming for Urban though. Wait, what?
December 9th, 2018 at 12:57 PM ^
Urban is a better coach than Saban.
December 9th, 2018 at 1:04 PM ^
Let him take over the Dolphins and let’s find out.
December 9th, 2018 at 1:04 PM ^
Running QBs generally don’t have a long shelf life in the NFL (an important part of Meyer’s offense) and in the pros it is unlikely he will have skill players that can simply out-athlete most defenses.
December 9th, 2018 at 12:57 PM ^
Bingo. Saban was just above average (60% win rate) at MSU and a failure in Miami. He was 26-12 after 3 yrs at LSU despite top 5 recruiting classes. He was 3-5 in bowl games at MSU and LSU. Yes, he had one outlier in 2003 at 13-1, so he delivered 1 championship in 10 seasons.
He also went 7-6 in year 1 at Bama and “somehow” pulled the #1 recruiting class after that season. Now he wins regularly with a huge disparity in roster talent.
Regardless, recruiting is probably the most important responsibility of a college coach. He has a “system” in place and the current playoff arrangement encourages recruits to concentrate in just a few programs. His football factory is hitting on all cylinders.
December 9th, 2018 at 1:15 PM ^
Wow, Saban sure got better!
December 9th, 2018 at 1:48 PM ^
"He also went 7-6 in year 1 at Bama and “somehow” pulled the #1 recruiting class after that season. Now he wins regularly with a huge disparity in roster talent."
This right here. Not sure how that happens. I am sure that these are the things that start a juggernaut rolling. A few top 3 classes in a row almost ensures Bama level success.
December 9th, 2018 at 1:31 PM ^
Same with Meyer and Brian Kelly. And while I'm not surr if Meyer would have left college, Kelly would have walked over the bodies of every player, assistant, and waylaid student camera operator to go pro. But people have seen Saban and his ilk and know they are really good at a couple of things but it's clear they wouldn't work in the pros. Which is a boon for them.
December 9th, 2018 at 3:25 PM ^
Plain and simple - the NFL and CF are two different games. Can't understand why some people think that a great NFL coach will automatically be a great CF coach and vice versa. Urban has stated on several occasions that he really has no interest in the NFL. On the other hand, he's a HOF college coach. Brian Kelly ? I think he's a solid CF coach but NFL - who knows. JH ? A real good NFL coach and solid CF coach. Can he be a great CF coach ? Possibly but he has to beat OSU next year and I think the majority of us can agree on that'
December 9th, 2018 at 11:50 AM ^
Just some Jive Turkey talk ... and their mouthpieces ...spreading lies and disinformation ...
December 9th, 2018 at 12:13 PM ^
Thanks for the jive turkey reference reminder, made me LOL!
December 9th, 2018 at 11:51 AM ^
Must wonder which coaches are playing this game - Urban probably was, Dicktonio and Franklin for sure, Saban? Dabo? Jimbo?
Probably that pederast Finebaum too!
Every one is a suspect but Ferentz and Fitz.
December 9th, 2018 at 12:06 PM ^
Dantonio is really not recruiting against us much, but Day and Saban for sure
December 9th, 2018 at 11:52 AM ^
Unfortunately
December 9th, 2018 at 11:54 AM ^
He is choosing to stay. You can choose to leave. Why you lurk here is a representative of your sad existence. Michigan will be better without you. And all like you.
December 9th, 2018 at 11:59 AM ^
don’t even bother man. It’s a waste of time.
He is at a point now with this blog. No one cares
December 9th, 2018 at 12:30 PM ^
Very true. Still glad he continues to be called out. Makes me feel better. I don’t know why.
December 9th, 2018 at 11:58 AM ^
Like it or not, Marcus, "basketball on grass" is sweeping the nation at the college and professional levels.
Anyway, what's your solution? What would it take for Michigan to go undefeated? Should we poach Scott Loeffler from BGSU? Put Marcus Ray in charge of the defensive backfield?
December 9th, 2018 at 11:59 AM ^
Marcus can be in charge of the snack tray.
December 9th, 2018 at 12:06 PM ^
+1. Spot on.
December 9th, 2018 at 6:59 PM ^
snack tray be going down.......
December 9th, 2018 at 1:04 PM ^
Ease up, Marcus already offered the solution ... Butch Jones. You know, the guy with a 61% win rate and zero 10-win seasons in 5 years at UT. Plus, Butch should be available since he is just a position coach at a Bama now.
December 9th, 2018 at 12:01 PM ^
Sorry man. I know you need a job badly right now but it looks like you'll have to look elsewhere.
December 9th, 2018 at 5:09 PM ^
Honest question , but do we know if MarcusRay98 the poster is the actual Marcus Ray or not ?
December 9th, 2018 at 12:07 PM ^
Come on man stop eating donuts. Do it for your health.
December 9th, 2018 at 12:13 PM ^
Shave your neck beard.
