re: Let's go over the Harbaugh/Michigan timeline/questions...

Just went through Rivals team rankings since '05...Michigan was in the top ten 50% of the time (less if you include this year). And they only had one top 5 finish. LSU dominates Michigan in terms of recruiting.

Never said Michigan was better, just said they were good. and having 50% of your classes being top 10 is pretty damn good. Adding Les Miles to the equation would increase their recruiting even more.

They've had this and still haven't managed 10 wins in how many years? I think '06 was the last year

---

They haven't really had average coaching

Brady Hoke was shite and Rich Rod was never really able to install his systems completely before getting the boot and his style didn't really mesh well with big 10 football. Les Miles style = big 10 style.

Michigan with Les Miles = a more talented version of Wisconsin

Some solid assumptions in there. Nothing that could be refuted.

But maybe he realized he prefers college to pros. Maybe he realized he's a better college coach than pro. That breed certainly exists. Maybe he realized that only having 3-5 years with a player works better than his coaching style.


Maybe none of that is true. I just really don't think he would string Michigan along for leverage. If he hasn't said no, he's considering it.

He made it to the Super Bowl as a NFL HC. Never did that in college (making it to a national championship that is).. Kind of proves he is a better NFL HC than College.

And he has only spent 3-5 years with his current team in the NFL, so how would he come to the realization that he works better when he only deals with kids for 3-5 years, when in fact, he has only been with his players in the NFL for 3-5 years?
