re: The Hate for Harbaugh

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.

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.
