Way higher than any of y'all had him 2 years ago.

It's getting right about time for me to bump me saying I want him at Alabama while everybody laughs at me and says his antics are too much.

So are we pretending his Stanford years never happened?

The guy is weird but he can definitely coach. He has nowhere near the talent on his team as those other coaches.

is winning at Michigan at a rate that hasn't happened in like 15-20 years.

He’s won a whole two more games in his first three seasons than Brady Hoke did and just one more than Lloyd Carr is his last three which is about the time that this Michigan skid and coaching carousel started. He’s keeping it pretty close to the rate that they’ve been on for the past 10 years. And he hasn’t beaten Ohio State.

Not saying that he won’t have them competing for the CFP and routinely beating rivals eventually, but let’s not act like he’s setting the world on fire right now.

ETA
Brain fart. I was looking at schedules and records as a whole and didn’t think about that Harbaugh hasn’t coached his 3rd bowl game yet to give him three complete seasons, but the point remains the same.

Pretty clear upwards trend. One that's been sustained after him. He deserves credit for building them up.
