Which past Michigan QB would you liked to see Harbaugh coach?
Yes, I would pick Gardner too. He had a lot of talents and ability that seemingly never got a fair chance to develop.
Carr had pretty good QB development. RichRod and especially Hoke not as much.
Does Drew Henson leave for MLB if Jim Harbaugh is his football coach?
for #1 overall pick in the draft if he came back. He left because he wanted to play baseball for the Yankees, not because anything was lacking in his football career prospects.
For me this list starts and ends with Devin Gardner.
A million times this. Devin deserved better. There were alwasy glimpses, I think Harbaugh would have turned that into consistency.
Harbaugh has Luck, Kaep, Alex Smith, and Rudock under his belt, plus probably some guys from San Diego and Stanford I can't think of.
Keep in mind that Kaep, Alex Smith, and Rudock weren't exactly regarded as great QBs when Harbaugh started with them
Josh Johnson was his QB at San Diego. He is a backup QB for the Giants.
No way rady goes #1 or even #1 QB, even with Harbaugh. Brady had mediocre measurables, and the NFL drafts at least as much based on measurables as performance. Brady would have been better earlier with Harbaugh coaching, but, while his draft status would improve, he wouldn't be even a first-rounder because of the measurable. You just cannot measure what makes him great.
Sorry, but neither Devin Gardner nor anyone else could have been lethal behind that sieve of an O-line.
Jim Harbaugh.
But faster! And a better passer!
Tom Brady. Just all Tom Brady all the time.
Henne or Navarre. Two Players with all the physical tools and surrounding talent in the world and with better decision making from coaching could've gone higher.
I see a lot of comments about how this past years team was so talented and we should've done better than 10-3. Maybe. More likely that Harbaugh and co. got the absolute most out of a team that probaby had no business going 10-3.
Eh, we had 11 NFL draft picks. We had a lot of talent, and quite frankly we lost 3 games by a total of 5 points. We were awfully close. Probably a bit unlucky to lose 3 coin flip games like that, but also simply lacking at key positions. A mediocre OL and Speight's late season struggles ended any possibility of a playoff appearance for a team that certainly looked playoff caliber.

Probably half. I'm not denying that Harbaugh raised the performance of the team, but the team did have talent, talent that unfortunately only got 2 years of coaching from this staff. But 10-3 was not the ceiling last year.
half. so 11 to 5.5 draft picks. lets go linear before we go exponential
I mean I agree, I loved watching this team this past season. All I'm saying is, try to imagine your expectations of the team right before the Utah game with Rudock starting.
The next year we were the second best team in the nation for most of the season according to advanced stats.
Yep. He is the player Michigan failed the most. He deserved better. Playig the second half against OSU with a broken foot was maybe the gutsiest Michigan Man moment ever in football.
Mallett had a million dollar arm, but a ten cent head. Could Harbaugh have gotten the most out of him with that kind of head?
I was going to post this too. The dude looked like a phenom as a frosh. If Carr/Harbaugh coached him throughout college his baggage occurred later may have never happened.
