Harbaugh is #1!
He's much better than the last two coaches we've had. Still waiting for him to win a championship, though. At any level. 2nd place in the Superbowl doesn't count. I can see the haters now. "Harbaugh went to Italy to say a prayer with the Pope so he could win a championship!" The memes are coming, people.
O NO! The memes are coming. None of us are used to rival fans making jokes about Michigan, so this could be pretty traumatizing for us all. Anyone know of a good therapist that specializes in traumatic meme disorder?
The way you guys get butthurt on here I legit can't tell if you're serious or not.
Because I can't tell if you're a troll or not.
Sarcasm? Seems pretty obvious to me
Sometimes I have trouble differentiating between idiots and trolls. In my book a troll is one notch above an idiot, so I was giving him the benefit of the doubt.
He appears to be both
A Trollidiot
Plus, if you're going to troll, you can at least make an attempt at being clever. This guy, with the hot take of, "hurr durr, Harbaugh hasn't won any championships yet, overrated!!!', is just dumb and lazy. That's just obnoxious and pointless.
Did you just troll a troll with a quote from Trolls!? THE BERGENS ARE COMING!
Harbaugh will bring a National Championship to Ann Arbor. I'd guess more than one before all is said and done. Once the offense is completely stocked with high end talent, it's lights out dudes. They have quite a few of (their) players now but they are young. They still need a couple classes of reserves to fill in and keep the turnaround of players filtering through but it's close. Third year in the offense. Ohio State won't have the fire power and the brains to crack wrists with the boss before long.
NFC championship assclown. Thats more than any college football coach. It is the highest football level and his phone rings more than any college fooball coaches to come to the league. Go hate somewhere else shitbird. There are a lot of college coaches scared to go to the league because the playing field is level ie. Urban Meyer
GTFO with that weak shit. Nobody remembers 2nd place. Go back to watching fake ass WWE, "assclown."
Your posts are always such a pleasure to read.
WWE is Fake !? Shit and I have Smackdown on the DVR still. I never knew, you ruined everything now.
He's criticizing Harbaugh for not winning a championship.... because he appeared #1 on a list of coaches who haven't won a championship.
You think he even read any part of the linked article? I think you're giving the troll too much credit.
He had to win a an NFC CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
He won the Pioneer League twice while at San Diego. 2005 & 2006. That's two championships. And they fit your criteria of "any level".
Good talk. Bye.
right, getting to the Superbowl means absolutely nothing. Hell everyone has done it who has coached. It's an easy accomplishment and I don't think anyone is impressed with that. Look at his resume, it really sucks everywhere he's been the team he took over was a championship team and he never had any success with any of them.......... Never built any team up....
can't believe I have a similar amount of mgopoints as this asshole

The memes are coming? Are you 12?
Wait a second... Brian Kelly is on this list? #9?!?!?!
Bruh, they beat Miami soundly last year. Or not soundly per se, but won a tough close game against a great Miami team. Or well, not great maybe. Extremely mediocre would be probably more accurate. But anyway, yeah #9!
Brian Kelly is on this list. Let's take a look:
Went 118-35-2 in 13 seasons at Grand Valley State, won 5 conference titles and 2 National Championships.
19-16 in 3 years at CMU, taking them from MAC bottom-feeder to conference champions.
Took over mediocre Cincinnati and went 34-6 in three seasons with back-to-back Big East championships and BCS bowl berths.
Was 55-23 in 6 seasons at ND prior to 2016, including a National Championship appearance.
Overall, he has 230 wins which is 44th all-time. He'll likely pass Schembechler on the wins list this season. He's already got guys like Spurrier, Tressell and Saban in his rear-view mirror. At 55 years old, as long as his face doesn't explode, Kelly will be in rare company when all is said and done.
25 years of winning championships all over the map in college football. Only had one losing season - his first year in Mt. Pleasant with Central.
Then he went 4-8 in 2016. What a bum, right?
Franklin and Kelly are 8 and 9 on this list... plus no Saben and Urb's. Is this a list of coaches who haven't won a championship? and if it is... Kelly and Franklin are 8 and 9?? This does not say much for depth of quality coaches.
It's coaches most likely to win their first national championship next. I'm not sure who you put above Franklin/Kelly considering there aren't that many schools that can compete for a MNC, and Clemson, Alabama, and OSU have coaches who have won one. Maybe McElwain or Orgeron, but they haven't exactly shown a ton yet.
Can I just take the field?
2017 class is a Championship class
D-Line: Going to be the best in Michigan history when they are Juniors/Seniors. Especially if by the grace of God Rashan Gary stays his Senior year
WR: This WR core is going to be INSANELY talented. Again Best in Michigan history
QB: Veteran Peters? SOLID
Secondary: STACKED
Linebackers: Singleton, Ross, and Anthony? AMAZING
KIcking/Punting: We have only gotten the #1 punter and #1 kicker two years in a row
Oline led by Ruiz and Filliaga will be STOUT
RB: O'Maury Samuels already has the physique of a Senior College athlete. By his junior senior year he will be like a Roman God
ITS ON IN A COUPLE YEARS
honestly if we have a decent season this year (10ish wins) I think next year you can circle as a possibly special year. only lose 3 starters (Cole, Hurst and Mcray).
WR 4 Sophmores guessing 2 are showing signs of being stars after this year
QB 5th year Senior Speight. should be solid at worst. could be very good at best
OL always a ? lose Cole but I think we should have some peaces that will be able to be put in place to make the line a plus next year
RB only lose isaac, everyone else is older we will find a dude here.
DL Lose Hurst...but yeah...lol...will be silly too many nice peaces not to fail here. 3rd year Gary...god I feel sorry for QBs...
LB some good options
Secondary Some very good options
Agree with most of this post. Best case scenario in my book would be Speight gets benched, gets butthurt and then transfers. 2 more years of Speight? Not sure I could handle that.
But I agree with this assessment. Even though I think that there is a very low chance Gary stays.
It's gotta be up there. I mean, I think that most people are fed up with last several years of a less than good offensive line. If JohnnyBlue's scenario comes together (10ish wins, improvement), we'll be bringing in another talented class and returning Grant Newsome (so long as he fully recovers). That could be huge.
I am pretty sure Gary has to stay for at least two more years. 2018 is not a worry on that front.
Correct. However, sadly, "two more years" = this year and 2018. He only has to stay for three years, total...
Agreed that it will be sad that Gary is unlikely to finish out his eligibility. But isn't the discussion that we will be very good in 2018? Gary will still be here.
EDIT: sorry, I know realize that the OP post of this mini-thread referred to Gary staying until his senior year.
He's an excellent coach, he has hired great assistant coaches. If he gets another 2 top 10 recruiting classes He will win a national championship in 2 to 4 years. Get ready for some fun times as Michigan becomes a perennial playoff team.
Agree, cant wait till Speight is gone though also
Really man? You can't wait until a Michigan player is gone?
Putting it that way no, but cant wait till Jim gets his QB
OP, I suggest linking the original article next time vs. a slideshow summary from 247Sports.
[USAToday] Only Four Active College Football Coaches have Won Titles, Who's Next?
-
Jim Harbaugh, Michigan
"Harbaugh has yet to finish higher than third in the Big Ten’s East Division. But it’s plainly clear that Michigan is making steady progress toward a national title — it’s not inevitable, particularly with Ohio State in the way, but a spot in the College Football Playoff and an eventual charge at the championship seems in the cards for Harbaugh and the Wolverines." - Chris Petersen, Washington
- David Shaw, Stanford
- Clay Helton, USC
- Mark Richt, Miami (Fl.)
- Gary Patterson, TCU
- Tom Herman, Texas
- James Franklin, Penn State
- Brian Kelly, Notre Dame
- Kirby Smart, Georgia
The 4 active coaches with National Championships already, including 9 of the last 11:
- Nick Saban (2003, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2015)
- Urban Meyer (2006, 2008, 2014)
- Jimbo Fisher (2013)
- Dabo Swinney (2016)
Gene Chizik is still an active college coach (DC at University of North Carolina), but not an active head coach.
Pete Carroll is also still an active head coach (obviously), but not at the college level.
Might Les Miles land a new gig down the road?
It is pretty amazing the run that Saban and Meyer have had (and that only four active college head coaches have a title to their names).
