“You people” lmao. Even if they were stealing signs, what good would it do?

Especially in this age of RPO football. You say it’s run, linebackers crash, and it’s a slant for 60 yards.

The one play against Ohio State last year going around with the analyst went for a TD. I just don’t think it’s a huge deal.

The Astros didn't hit a home run every time someone banged the trash can.

That’s typically what happens when you hire a good coach… was Stanford and the 49ers doing it too?

Except Harbaugh had already been at Michigan for 6 years before 2021.

They were so bad in 2020 that they faked COVID to avoid getting throttled by Ohio State.

Pretty simple to me, he's kind of a jerk to the media and combine that to his politics.

Nah mediocre is what Michigan was before Harbaugh. 2x 10 win seasons in 10 years before Harbaugh. Harbaugh does it in 3/4 of his first years.

It's not mediocre but it's far from elite like the past 2 years.

Could Harbaugh simply be a better program builder than Ryan Day? Day took over in 2019. Harbaugh has good but not elite teams before 19 and now, 3 years in a row his teams are elite. Could he simply be winning recruiting battles and evaluations against their biggest competition?

Yep.

This was before 2021.

quote:

Wherever you stand, facts are facts:

Jim Harbaugh is undefeated against Maryland, Rutgers, Illinois, Nebraska, Purdue, Minnesota and Northwestern in the Big Ten.
Jim Harbaugh is .500 or worse against Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State, Iowa and Wisconsin in the Big Ten.
Jim Harbaugh is 0-5 against Ohio State.
Jim Harbaugh is 3-4 against Michigan State and 0-2 against Mel Tucker.
Jim Harbaugh is 1-4 in bowl games.
Jim Harbaugh is 20-21 against Power 5 teams that are at least .500 since 2015.
Jim Harbaugh is 70-23 overall (71%).


As noted here or in another thread since then two things have happened. Michigan started spying to steal hand signals and Michigan has gone 33-3.

Yep. Also explains why Harbaugh sucks arse in bowl games at Michigan, going 1-6 despite being heavily favored in 5 of them. One of those was blowing a 19 point lead in the 4th quarter to Will Muschamp. Another was getting blown out by Dan Mullen.

His recruiting is nowhere near Days as evidenced by recruiting rankings. Day is even recruiting at a higher level than Urban Meyer at Ohio State.

Yes, he could be a better program builder. He also benefitted more than most the the extra season provided by the COVID year. Michigan has had a lot of sixth year players between COVID and redshirts. That two extra years helps a ton. He also hasn’t had guys leaving early like Ohio State.

Being a collection of self righteous counts about everyone else's misbehavior tends to lead to schadenfreude when you yourself are caught cheating.
