This Board Would Have Fired Dabo After Year 4

How is it on point? Dabo won the ACC in year 4. So no, Michigan would not have fired him contrary to dumbass OP here. 
 

Harbaugh is going on year 6. Bill Snyder even won the B12 by year 4 in his second stint at KSU. 90% of coaches who don’t get it done by year 4 probably won’t. Snyder in his first stint at KSU is the only exception I can think of. 

I'm getting frustrating and impatient with Harbaugh but I think the only thing Michigan can do is keep him and hope he pulls out of this bizarre pattern he has Michigan in these days. 

Earlier this season Matt Campbell and Mike Leach were mentioned on this board as coaching candidates Michigan should pursue. Look how they turned out. And of course there's always Urban. If M hired him I'd be legitimately worried he'd purposely throw the game against Ohio State every year; he would be a mole at the top of the Circus. 

I know, right.... LSU will never get over losing Les Miles.  Georgia is still regretting letting go of Richt.  Who is Lincoln Riley? He will never be half the coach Stoops was, they'll be begging Bob to come back when they can't win the Big 12 anymore. OSU will take a huge step down. 

Acting like a coaching search has to end in a bad hire is illogical.  There are good hires and bad hires but using that defense to defend a coach, instead of using his own record, says a lot. 

Seriously. Harbaugh could play Quinn Nordin at offensive guard every game and people would still make up some excuse for him.

Yeah the Harbaugh Cult has lost their minds. 

Clemson also offered Rashan about 200k to play there.  One of the schools recruiting Devin Gardner had two women waiting in bed for him.  An anonymous athlete told Bacon that on a recruiting visit he was set up with a girl who they later revealed to be underage, in order to extort him into playing for that school.  Dabo plays by different rules, as do Smart and Saban.

I would be somewhat surprised if none on Michigan’s 85 scholarship players and however many committed recruits haven’t gotten a visit from Mr. Bagman.   But we don’t operate like those schools do, systemically and with the approval of the head coach.  Hell, when a former player sold his shoes online they did a fucking “shoe audit”, which I did not know was a thing, of all the current players.  And that’s a good thing.

Not saying that I don't agree with you, but Clemson's rise also has a lot to do with Florida State's fall. Michigan's biggest problem has to do with Ohio St.'s dominance and elite performance. LSU also has an Alabama problem. LSU fans have been looking to get rid of their coach until all of a sudden Joe Burrows took them to the promise land. 

Harbaugh had two very narrow opportunities to win the Big 10 that unfortunately went the wrong way. It is amazing to think of how much higher perception Jim would have if JT would have been ruled short (or if the refs would have ruled the game even close to even) or if John O'Korn could have been replaced by a half competent QB. 

When Jim had his best opportunities, luck was not on his side. Those wins would have done wonders for both his reputation and the success of the program. I still wouldn't have seen it hurt OSU much, however, and I am afraid Michigan won't rise much under Harbaugh until OSU's own success starts diminishing.

And in an era where guys deciding not to play in the bowl games, I don't think we can use "bowl records" as much evidence against a coach. It didn't hurt us in the Alabama game, but the year prior without a doubt. This is going to be consistent from here on out most likely.

Oooo.  PBONERS didn't like your comment either.  I did my part to, though, by giving you a +1.
