Am I the only one who doesn’t understand the hate for Jim Harbaugh?
His records at Michigan
10-3 Won Citrus
10-3 Lost Orange
8-5 (QB problems) Lost Outback
He walked into a dumpster fire of a program and proceeded to succeed. He is an exciting character who loves old school football. I get the 3rd place finishes but why do people continue to say he will get fired? I swear I see a thread every week on how Harbaugh is garbage... It is shown when he has somewhat of an adequate QB his teams are special. I expect another 10 win season this year for them with Shea as starter.

He’s getting paid 7 million+ to finish 3rd in the division

I'd guess it's because he was supposed to be the savior for a historic program and hasn't done anything but have autistic pajama parties.

And yet, he continues to be talked about like he's Saban.

He's a try-hard passive aggressive douche.


He's a really good football coach. Idk who would disagree with that.

I agree with you. I don’t get it.

He hasn’t even had a recruiting class of his own go 4 years through his program yet.

He's one of those people that ESPN has decided that everything he has to say is important and needs to be newsworthy.

He was a bad spot away from going to the playoffs in his 2nd year

I don't get it. Especially from the Gumps. I guess if anyone is considered a good coach besides Saban they get their panties in a wad.

I keep seeing this as a reason people hate him. Are you paying him? No? Then who gives a shite how much he's making?

He's a very, very good coach who made Stanford relevant, took the awful 49ers to three straight NFCCGs, and got absolutely screwed out of the playoff by a horrible spot in the Ohio State game in his second year at Michigan.

Michigan fans have pretty awful Internet personality that makes them easy to hate.

Not really the ones here but Michigan Twitter is so self-righteous and miserable. So much “we are behind the SEC and tOSU because we don’t cheat” bulls shite

Yeah, all those four- and five-stars really scream "dumpster fire."

Michigan was rolling right out the gate.

That stomach punch loss to Michigan State really killed the momentum Harbaugh had with the blind belief of the kids IMO.

Michigan wins that game and they don't look back.

Instead that killed all the new coach Mo and Michigan took steps backwards.

The hate generally derives from the Michigan fans reasonable expectations they will defeat OSU and annually compete for natties per his success at Stanford and as a pro HC (led the 49ers to the SB and NFC title game next year), so far they have not accomplished that came close in 2016 and I was a believer but fell apart at the end. I mean Michigan's the winningest program in the history of college football, the Big House, that fight song, the whole 9, their fans aren't stupid now when's the last time UM defeated OSU in the rivalry game? I thought so, he's supposed to be the guy to overcome all that, so far he hasn't this is arguably a make or break year for him with Shea starting and I'll be sure to track the games. In conclusion, the speculation over this being make or break and possible termination is a credit to the mystique and greatness of the Michigan football program and their fans desire that they uphold that greatness relative to the championship chase, expectations should be high always.
