Harbaugh 5/6 best coach in the BIG top 25 in the nation ... Mediocrity
December 29th, 2018 at 5:02 PM ^
Do it, dude. Name the coaches better than Harbaugh in the big ten. Put up or shut up
December 29th, 2018 at 5:04 PM ^
Dantonio, Ferentz, Franklin, Chryst
December 29th, 2018 at 5:07 PM ^
Hahahahaha, do you want me to go through all of them or should I just let your comment stand by itself?
December 29th, 2018 at 5:20 PM ^
I’m sure you’re just a huge Harbaugh sympathizer and think he’s the best thing ever but honestly for the talent this team has and for him being the “QB whisperer” he doesn’t come close to being a top coach
December 29th, 2018 at 5:20 PM ^
you have to be be joking!?!?
December 30th, 2018 at 12:18 AM ^
You do know that Harbaugh has a better the last four years than each of them, right?
December 29th, 2018 at 5:18 PM ^
Let’s just start in our division since Meyer left he’s now top 3 behind Dantoni and Franklin.. Let me tell you why both those coaches have done more with far less talent than we have had ..
Now we go West with Chryst , Frost, Ferentz, Brohm is on the comeup and I don’t like Fitzgerald but he has still done more with less than Michigan ..
Any 1 of those coaches with this Michigan team and you win 11 games or more
December 29th, 2018 at 5:36 PM ^
Umm, no, just no. James Fucking Franklin?? Paul Chryst?? Kirk Ferentz???
Stop.
December 29th, 2018 at 5:50 PM ^
lmao what the fuck has Harbaugh done? Franklin has a B1G title, Chryst has gone to 2 B1G title games and is 42-12 including 4-0 in Bowl Games
December 29th, 2018 at 5:51 PM ^
Franklin has a BIG championship and a rose bowl appearance I know the sentiment around here is that he sucks or whatever but he wins ...
Paul Chryst is at Wisconsin they hardly ever recruit a top 5 class in the BIG yet all they do is win
Kirk always always always has a good team with average at best players .. Give him this Michigan team and he would put up 11 wins
These are coaches that elevate their team despite the talent level.. If Harbaugh could elevate our team we would win every week so yea my mind isn’t changing those coaches are better than him
December 29th, 2018 at 4:56 PM ^
Well thats Bad News..Time for him to head to the NFL..Im OFF the Bandwagon..Lost all Faith in him...Jim Harbaugh=John Cooper with OUT the Rose Bowls and Conference Titles
December 29th, 2018 at 4:59 PM ^
How do you fire your son and pep.
December 29th, 2018 at 5:00 PM ^
Rutgers is a joke Michigan is not
December 30th, 2018 at 12:25 AM ^
You sure?
December 29th, 2018 at 5:02 PM ^
I believe Ward might disagree...
December 29th, 2018 at 5:03 PM ^
OSU stagnated under Tim Beck, they get Ryan Day
We keep our godawful staff and expect different results
December 29th, 2018 at 5:07 PM ^
I mean you wouldn't expect him to say anything else right after the game I suppose, but if there really are no changes then optimism for next year is non existent to me. Even if he fires Pep it would take bringing in a top flight OC and Harbaugh being hands off to matter
December 29th, 2018 at 5:09 PM ^
Would pay to watch Morpheus beat everyone on the staff with a staff.
December 29th, 2018 at 5:11 PM ^
He’s not going to say, “yeah I’m firing Pep tonight and am already looking for an OC.” Lol...
December 29th, 2018 at 5:21 PM ^
He should at least give the players and fans the appearance that he cares
December 29th, 2018 at 5:12 PM ^
Harbaugh = Dunning-Kruger
and his staff is full of similar individuals
The kids would be better playing backyard ball with no coach - because I guarantee they know the plays called won’t work. They aren’t stupid.
But Harbaugh is only a symptom, not the disease this program has contracted. The general malaise and apathy running throughout Schembechler Hall needs to pulled out from the root. Unfortunately, those whose opinions count are also part of the problem.
I hope no one actually expects any staff changes, updates to the playbook, wins over any teams with a pulse, etc. harbaugh is trash and nothing will change.
December 29th, 2018 at 5:15 PM ^
But UMBig11 said.....
Womp womp
December 29th, 2018 at 5:20 PM ^
Harbaugh is clueless. His offense belongs in a museum and he has never been able to utilize the best players of his team. And Don Brown swallows his tongue anytime they play a team with a pulse. Michigan's ceiling should be more than a team that's somewhere between #15-#25. He's not being paid $7 million to never beat OSU, never win the B1G, and go 1-3 in bowl games.
December 30th, 2018 at 10:01 AM ^
Lloyd Carr’s average ranking at Michigan was #12. Bo Schembechler’s was 8. Harbaugh’s depending on what the rankings finish at will be around 11 or 12. Harbaugh just signed the best recruiting class since the “rivals era”. Bo lost his first seven bowl games before winning his next two. Then he lost his next three. So he started 0-7 then went to 2-10. I think some people like to misremember Michigan’s history.
December 29th, 2018 at 5:30 PM ^
Fire him Wards.
December 29th, 2018 at 5:43 PM ^
If true, this is quite disappointing. After the way we ended the season, I don't think anyone should be safe--make every single player earn their role and their playing time and, similarly, be willing to make staff changes as necessary. IMO, I find it hard to believe any neutral observer would think we don't need at least an offensive shake-up, if not a defensive one on an albeit smaller scale as well.
December 29th, 2018 at 6:04 PM ^
Thats codeword for Pep is taking the NYJ OC job its just not a done deal yet.
December 29th, 2018 at 6:11 PM ^
If this plays out to be true, give JH 1 more year and another 3-4 loss season, then fire his ass and hire an innovative, YOUNG HUNGRY coach and pay him $2 mil per year to rebuild the program.
December 29th, 2018 at 6:12 PM ^
Should be:
HC - Jim Harbaugh
OC - Kendall Briles
DC - Don Brown
RB - Mike Hart
WR - Jedd Fisch
TE/ST - Sherrone Moore
OL - Ed Warinner
DL - Greg Mattison
LB/STC - Chris Partridge
DB - Mike Zordich
Get rid of Jay Harbaugh, Pep, and Al Washington. Heads need to roll.
December 29th, 2018 at 7:34 PM ^
This seems a bit much ^^^
December 29th, 2018 at 6:26 PM ^
It is very bad news to know Pep Hamilton will be back. smh.
Oh well, I'm already planning on having other things to do with my time next Fall, instead of getting my hopes up. Next years schedule is tougher than this years.
December 29th, 2018 at 6:44 PM ^
Maybe they will hire someone when they are in South Africa?
December 29th, 2018 at 6:52 PM ^
I’m pretty sure he said this before Drevno left last season. He’s not going to throw his assistant coaches under the bus in a post game presser.
It’s laughable people would think Harbaugh would get up there and announce coaching changes without speaking to anyone just a short while after a game.
December 29th, 2018 at 7:16 PM ^
This is one thing I love about Harbaugh. He’s good at not throwing his guys under the bus. Handle it like a man. Talk to Pep before saying anything.
December 29th, 2018 at 7:24 PM ^
When has he ever answered a question like that in a press conference?
December 29th, 2018 at 7:33 PM ^
Did anyone think that 4 years in we'd still be waiting for win #1 against TUOS? Or still be unable to block any team with a pulse?
Are we still blaming Clappy for the OL failures? Is it still Drevno's fault? Don't get me wrong, Drevno was absolute dead weight as a coach, but at some point JH needs to be responsible for this train wreck offense.
Likewise, Don Brown has been exposed. How many problems did he solve with aggression the last two games? He is great at throttling poor offenses, but seems to wilt in the big games. 103 points the last couple games, and managed to make a 50% passer like the ND QB look like Deshaun Watson.
I have 0 excitement for next season if JH doesn't admit that there are problems and make some changes on this underperforming staff.
December 29th, 2018 at 8:40 PM ^
I don't expect to be watching on Saturdays then
December 29th, 2018 at 9:40 PM ^
Jedd is coming as OC. Book it. And concur with others who have said Harbaugh isn’t going to lay out his plans for the coaching staff before the media after the bowl game.
December 30th, 2018 at 1:17 PM ^
Jedd Fisch? Cue the national championship talk!
December 29th, 2018 at 10:10 PM ^
accidental post
December 29th, 2018 at 10:11 PM ^
Harbaugh will be gone soon
December 29th, 2018 at 10:46 PM ^
Someone will get into his ear and get him to make a change. Play calling is way too conservative.
December 30th, 2018 at 12:30 AM ^
Harbaugh won't make any changes. But coaching staff members will "leave to pursue other opportunities."
So, same thing ultimately.
There will be changes.
December 30th, 2018 at 10:41 AM ^
Said the same thing last year and then Drevno left, McElwain and Warriner came into the staff
January 1st, 2019 at 6:49 AM ^
Changes coming just not the ones you probably want. Al Washington likely to move on to Ohio State who will fire Bill Davis after today’s Rose Bowl.
