Harbaugh NFL Rumors

[byco42]

This may ruffle some feathers but maybe It?s probably time to move on to a new coach who really wants to be at Michigan. Wish him well thank him for the last 2 seasons and find a younger coach. Idk I?m just getting tired for the off seasons and the subpar recruiting classes after 2 big ten titles and back to back final four appearances. Plus maybe Michigan needs another way to prepare for bowl games. Because Jim?s way appears worse then Bo?s right now.

Jim's "way" is way worse than Bo's, whose teams I consider were extremely well prepared overall to play in bowl games. He just didn't win most of them.

Yes I agree. Maybe Bo was unlucky. Idk. At least I was at the Rose Bowl they won 22-14 !
That was fun after halftime!

The most gratifying bowl victory in my lifetime. The residuals continue to compile. Watching Leroy Hoard steamroll the SC defense was a thing of brutal beauty.

Second place is the '81 Win Over Washington.

Third is the '98 RB, but a close 4th is the '93 RB when Tyrone rolled up the Washington D like a musty carpet for >250.

Those are all great but Well the best bowl win was the 21-16 one over Washington state for sure. Should have been a outright national title. I?m just terrible disappointed. Jim should not be this bad in bowl games. I just don?t get it. They play TCU 100 times I bet they go 90-10. Or 95-5. Very frustrating how we let them take us out of they way we play. Jim just out coached sadly.

They all lost together.

Coaches and players together.

Two pick sixes and two red zone turnovers.

It?s the opposite of what got them into the position they were in.

T.
It?s always something that fucks a good season. Georgia was so much better then us last season. I can except that. This year no excuses for playing that poorly. It?s is squarely on the head coach and staff. They should know better. Who the hell called the damn Philadelphia special on 4th and 2. If that?s your best play the head coach should be thinking fuck I better take the 3 instead..They ran that because they were Arrogant. Typical Michigan in bowl games.

JJ should know better on that first Int. A damn 25-30 yard out to the far hash. What the heck. Then minter tuned in to Don Brown on defense.
Just frustrating.

I agree with Bob. You get 3 points out of 3 goal-to-go chances and give up 2 pick-6 and lose by 6 points... You are very clearly the better team and absolutely should not have lost that game. And everyone outside of TCU fans know it. That's why this sucks so bad.

Yeah neither you nor and Bob are in disagreement.

Three points in goal to go situations and two pick sixes.

Change almost any of that and it?s a win.

The game was the opposite of typical of the types of games Michigan played all season to end up in the CFP undefeated.

It?s on Harbaugh.

It?s on the coaching staff.

It?s on JJ McCarthy.

It?s on the rest of the players.

Again, it was their championship to win or not win, they are the ones who sweated and bled all season in an attempt to achieve this goal.

I just sat on my old ass and watched.

Biff Poggi on a radio interview today: "Jim loves coaching at Michigan...but Jim also wants to win a Super Bowl ... Jim is an outstanding football coach who has won everywhere he's been."

They play TCU 100 times I bet they go 90-10. Or 95-5.

UM is probably the better team, but 90-10 or 95-5 is crazy.

Statistically, a 7 point favorite has a 69.8% chance of winning, which is 70-30

Now all that's left to do is endure the off-season hype, more Solubility Table transition, and celebration of players dodging dummies and running past teammates holding air shields. And QBs in red jerseys. Then, the requisite OCC schedule versus McNeese State, Pennsylvania Military College, Frisbee Business School, and...Rutgers. Very underwhelming. The regular season initiates on September 30, in Lincoln.

I was thinking about this... Jim arguably has a tougher time.

In Bo's day, no one considered most of the bowls we played in to be meaningless exhibitions, since they affected the final ranking.

obviously the past two years, our bowls mattered. but if we're scrutinizing Harbaugh's bowl record (not sure why, but okay...), he's 1-4 in bowls that did not
matter.

Other teams win bowl games. Meaningless or not Michigan should be better in bowl games.

I think that bowls matter, since it frustrates me when Michigan loses them. The FSU and SC games were won, and then lost. The SC game as galling because M was the only B1G team to lose a bowl game that season and the last-scheduled game for a B1G team.

after the let down against TCU, I am happy to forget about football for the next 9 months. I guess waiting for an away game vs. Nebraska takes us to the very last day of September.

How come we seem to be playing them so often? I'm kinda sick of them and their crappy annual record drags on our SOS.

We're at 989 wins, so at least this next season we can have more fun counting down to that. We like countdowns here.

I mean, yeah, I'd rather they won those games too, but I'm just saying Bo never had to deal with a star player opting out of playing in a bowl game... or keeping team morale together when such a occurrence is in the ether and causes the rest of the team, or players in general - to question why they're going to risk their long term health so a bunch of country club "gentlemen" on some second rate Bowl committee can put their kids through private school...

Which illustrates to me why the Mythical National Champion is just as legitimate as the present system, or any future systems.

We?ll.

We?ll see what the 12 team playoff brings.

I think I'd prefer to see what our Wolverines can do when they enter the playoffs as a lower seed & underdog (which is more likely to happen in a 12 team format), rather than a high-flying cocky Big Ten Champion (the only way we get in now).

So there's that. But if we're getting into the playoff as an also-ran, that most likely means we lost to OSU, which sucks.

I realized after this year, maybe I'm getting too old for this playoff mumbo-jumbo. I really just liked seeing us play 12 games and beat OSU.

The Big Ten championship game is neat and all, but I couldn't muster much excitement for it.

"noone knows what the future holds"

I "expect" to be back

Coach speak, coach speak, coach speak. Still leaves himself an out. But the Bo reminder seems to look towards him staying.
