Harbaugh tweet directed at Butch Jones
Harbaugh is out here slaying everyone.
Suggestion to my Rocky Top colleague, rather than lunch in Florida you might spend your time and focus attending to your present team.

Yeah I can see that. That may be why he didn't respond to the ARK/MSU coaches...they aren't covered in fleas so to speak.
CCMF
Not to be forgotten here is that Tennessee recently offered 20 kids from IMG. Maybe some of those kids told Jim that Butch was talkng shit about Jim or Michigan?
good point. Who knows what kind of bad blood there is, aside from these tweets, that the public doesn't know about.
The real question is...how many of those kids actually end up at TN? That will be interesting to see!

thought for sure he was going to come in and say something just to stir things up a bit with OSU and MSU as I had read numerous times that's what he had done at Stanford early on by going after USC and Pete Carroll.
None of that happened though last off-season (unless you count Mike Weber tweet) or even during this past regular season. If anything I actually thought he was overly friendly to those two programs.
Right when I became convinced this wasn't going to be his style at Michigan........... all hell has broken loose. Now a lot of that may or may not been planned or even his fault either, who cares.
The best thing about it is were barely into the month of March and he's pretty much declared war now on half of major college football. Have to admit this makes the offseason so much more fun.
Oh.....well good luck reigning those in.
I'm wondering if its more than just the tweet? MAybe some negative recruiting? I'm thinking Harbaugh wasn't a fan of Butch Jones before the tweet and maybe even before the recent scandal.
I don't know...this might not be a popular stance but I'm not a huge fan of this one (not that Harbaugh cares or anything). I didn't really think the lunch tweets were negative towards UM so it just kind of comes across as an overreaction on Harbaugh's part.

Things comes off as petty. Smart took a shot at the whole trip to FL by insinuating some shady stuff was going on...I have no problem with Harbaugh firing back at that. But lunch tweets seemed pretty innocent to me and to call out Butch who was just piggy backing off of Bielma and MD just seems like going after low hanging fruit.
Doesn't really change my opinion of Harbaugh, I'm extactic he's the coach and applaud 99% of the things he is doing to push the envelope. Just didn't care much for this particular response...but like I said, Harbaugh don't care (nor should he).

Do you mean " a reaction"
What reaction could be less ?

Harbaugh is hilarious.
JH doesn't take any bullshit ...& is a badass. Their always is a method to his madness imo. JH wants a tough unified team... & creating a little controversy will piss off & motivate the players once they hear the other teams yapping.
This isn't a timid & scared coached M - like we have seen with some of the previous. This is a little Bo, a little Ditka...& a whole fuckload of Harbaugh.
Wait until teams see a pissed of Gary lined up! Whoa fuckin Nelly!
Pro tip for Butch
