This guy is the king of those “sports lite” articles that Larry Leo writes for tigerdroppings

Honors his pledge to get “15-0” tattoo if Michigan wins title

quote:

Harbaugh recently took a Los Angeles Chargers camera crew on a tour of his Quantum. which has been parked in Huntington Beach for the last two months. Between the location and the lack of distractions, Harbaugh appears to be loving life, watching The Rockford Files (and Joe Dirt?) every night before his early bedtime.


New Chargers offensive coordinator Greg Roman also lives in the same RV park, but in a much bigger 2019 Newmar VENTANA. Here's Roman's very diplomatic description of Harbaugh's rig: “I’ve been in here. Very cozy. I mean, you can drive this down the road and park it pretty much anywhere. So there’s a lot of advantages to having one this size."

Sounds like he's already adapting to the Los Angeles lifestyle. Give it another year or 2 and he'll be living in a tent with a full length sleeve tattoo.

Well he apparently has good taste.



Livin' the California dream. Maybe he'll go full beach bum.

The guy with a national title, and took the 49ers to 3 straight NFC titles. That clown?

And took Stanford within a hair of making the bcsncg in 2010. If Mark Ingram's fumble goes out of bounds at the 1, it's very well possible they make the NCG.

Harbaugh is clearly the best active coach in the world right now

Naw.

Clearly? Just no.

Even if you want to discount Reid for having Mahomes, just look at what McVay did this year. Or Kyle Shanahan's NFC dominance otherwise. Or Jim's brother, who's done it at a higher level for a longer period of time (and has an NFL championship).

Mike MacDonald and Jesse Minter were responsible for a lot of his success. On the offensive side, I'm not sure how much he was running things versus Gattis and Moore at the end.

Weren't both recommended to Jim by his brother?

Exactly. It took getting just enough talent to get in the ballpark of OSU, then some super high level defensive coaching to counter Day. If you really want to nerd out, you can look at this thread.
quote:

Even with the best receiver room in college football and McCord having one of his best games (more on that in a minute), Ohio State's best means of sustaining drives was on the ground because Michigan was moving players all over the secondary. Here's a run on their long run drive but watch Sainristil dropping like a safety while Rod Moore comes down. That's an "Aztec" ploy from the base three-high defenses they run in the Big XII.

This didn't make them superheroes, but I think it's what allowed Michigan to keep up. Ryan Day teams may shite the bed on 3rd & 2 more than anyone else in the Big Ten, but when it comes to teaching his players to identify coverages and having the playcalls to exact maximum punishment, he is peerless in the NCAA.

quote:

For Ohio State those are probably equivalent propositions, and for all the crap Day gets for the short yardage cowardice he deserves all the credit for designing, coaching, and recruiting for an unstoppable downfield passing game.

Keeping that passing game under 25 points three years in a row took a similar program-level commitment to installing NFL-style switch zones, teaching everyone not to bust, and finding 100 snaps for guys like Quinten Johnson while playing 5-man run defense against 6-man boxes so that when the time came there wasn't an ounce of hesitation when the #6 QB (#28 overall) of 2021 stands in a clean pocket and throws a perfect ball to the #1 WR (#9 overall) of 2021.

quote:

Again, I ask that you watch the moments before the play to see how much is really going on. Egbuka lines up on the backside, motions out past the field hash, Sainristil and Barrett communicate that they're *not* going to match this shift in personnel, and Barrett communicates some specific version of "Hey I'm a linebacker playing nickel out here" that Q-Jo understands. We don't get to see it, but somewhere off to the right of the camera's view Quinten's mind is able to get his body, which doesn't have the speed it used to before his early career injury, heading to that spot five yards wide of the hash and arriving with full force a fraction of a second after the point when he's allowed to make contact with the receiver.

This took years to get right on both sides, and the result is football on a caliber that I would argue has never been played before at this level. The Bryce Young vs Georgia double bouts are the obvious comparison, but those were more talent vs talent fights that turned on whether or not Alabama had Jameson Williams available.

I am *NOT* saying this Michigan defense is as good as *THAT* Georgia defense. I am saying this game was the passing equivalent of when the service academies throw their 1100 seniors' triple-options against each other.

Neither am I saying Michigan managed to go the whole game without busting. The first TD wasn't switch coverage at all. It was man, and McBurrows got beat.

I love people like this. For some reason we think everyone has to conform to exactly what society expects. F’ck that.
