Jim Harbaugh went 12-1 at Stanford and took the San Francisco 49ers to a Super Bowl. He won 10 games in three of his first four seasons after taking over a 5-7 Michigan team, and the 8-5 year was when Wilton Speight got hurt.
He didn't get good when Connor Stalions arrived.
If a head coach is responsible for everything going on in his program, why wasn’t Mel Tucker suspended when his players attacked Michigan players in the tunnel? Why isn’t Kirby Smart suspended for his players’/staffers’ driving habits?
I'm not saying they WILL, but the following
#Michigan
players could potentially use the COVID exemption to stay in college for one more season:
RB Blake Corum
RB Kalel Mullings
WR Roman Wilson
OG Zak Zinter
EDGE Jaylen Harrell
S Makari Paige
"Ahhhh...if not for that one f***ing 23-point play we missed out on in 2022 and then that dropped 16-point conversion in 2021."
Ryan Day is one of the most delusional coaches in college football. Also a giant dork. This guy sucks.
Somewhere, Urban Meyer, Zach Smith, and Chris Doyle are sitting together, hatching a plan.
It is a terrible plan involving a podcast, a consulting firm, and running an orphanage.
You've been warned.
This message has been brought to you by THE Ohio State Penitentiary.
LOL. It was definitely a perfect play call when McCarthy threw a hitch off his back foot before getting blasted, and then Cornelius Johnson broke two crappy tackle attempts.
Connor Stalions saw the "be shitty at tackling" signal and relayed it to the coaches just in time.

@colecubelic
You can tell by the way the second guy holds it that he has no idea how to throw a football. Excuses about camera equipment are just that - excuses.
I just want to send a shout out to anyone who woke up, got dressed, and put in a good hard day’s work today.
Each and every one of you achieved something that Urban Meyer didn’t.
@bigcontentguy
Perhaps we don't want a 41-year-old guy who likes to lay in bed and smoke weed all the time having kids. Maybe this is for the best. Procreation isn't a necessity.
Brian Kelly made his graduate assistants shovel snow and park cars at his holiday party.
Jim Harbaugh is donating his bonus money to athletic department employees who lost money during COVID.
My buddy Connor hasn’t texted me all week, and I’m not sure what game we’re going to watch today.
Oh well, I’m visiting family in Wisconsin this weekend. Maybe I’ll just pop on over to Camp Randall with my fully charged iPhone.
I’m not saying Jim Harbaugh didn’t know, but the fact that we’re three weeks into this…and even anonymous sources and private investigators can’t find a connection to Harbaugh…
Why are people going so hard at Harbaugh?
(This is a rhetorical question.)
NCAA shared latest Michigan investigation findings with the Big Ten as the conference considers a multi-game suspension of Jim Harbaugh - while the school gears up for legal action, sources tell

@NicoleAuerbach
I’m a Michigan guy and would love to hate on Day but she said he “declared war” on the Big Ten. That’s a huge embellishment. He said “why can’t we play?”
If that’s a declaration of war, every 3-year-old declares war multiple times a day.
Hyperbole is the worst human trait.
@CoachDanCasey
I mean, one reason - among many - I would never use it is that it doesn't look like anything else. If the QB starts to backpedal from under center, it's obviously a straight dropback pass.
The second reason is that the QB is not immediately ready to throw if under pressure.
In 20 years,
#Michigan
fans are going to be talking about Donovan Edwards's performance against
#OhioState
like they talk about Desmond Howard's, Charles Woodson's, and Tim Biakabutuka's.
#OhioState
fans: Jim Harbaugh knew how Connor Stalions was using a personal Venmo account!
Also Ohio State fans: Yeah, it seems totally plausible that one of our coaches didn't know they can't contact players who aren't in the portal, even though every fan knew that already.
@slmandel
LOL. The thing you, Bruce, and others have been peddling non-stop on The Athletic and The Audible for the past few weeks.
You’ll talk about it for clicks/downloads but then downplay it for likes.
This is to be expected for an Ohioan with a Northwestern degree.
#Michigan
could legitimately start five 5th year seniors on the offensive line in 2023:
LT Karsen Barnhart
LG Trevor Keegan
C Drake Nugent
RG LaDarius Henderson
RT Trente Jones
And that doesn't include Zak Zinter or Myles Hinton, both of whom are in their fourth year.
The two lowest ranked high school recruits in the modern era of recruiting for
#Michigan
are...
Olu Oluwatimi (
#3300
overall in 2017)
Brad Robbins (
#3914
overall in 2017)
Both were all-conference players while wearing the winged helmet.
I like Santa Ono, but it’s honestly probably not a great look for Warde Manuel if the president has to come out and say he’s sticking his nose into the negotiations. It seems to show a lack of confidence in Manuel.
Who was Jim Harbaugh's most trusted assistant at Michigan?
Sherrone Moore.
Who is Harbaugh leaving at Michigan to run things?
Sherrone Moore.
Some people are acting like Harbaugh is trying to sabotage Michigan, when he's actually leaving his right-hand man behind.
I respect Rainer Sabin’s position on punt returners. Obviously, he’s influenced by the fact that his employer doesn’t always put the man out there who is best for the job at hand.
I see a lot of complaints about Michigan running the ball so much, and not so much recognition that Karsen Barnhart was getting beaten soundly on every pass play.
@JoeyBurton
“It wasn’t called on this cherry-picked play in the past so it shouldn’t have been called now” is a terrible argument.
Officer, I didn’t get pulled over for speeding back in 2016, so why are you pulling me over now when I’m speeding?
#Northwestern
's top rated 2024 commit is West Bloomfield and former
#Stanford
commit Jamir Benjamin.
#Michigan
needs cornerbacks in the 2024 class.
Jamir Benjamin is a cornerback.
I'm just sayin'...
Over the past three drafts,
#Michigan
has had at least one player drafted from every position:
QB: McCarthy
RB: Corum, Haskins
WR: Bell, Johnson, Wilson
TE: Barner, Schoonmaker
OT: Hayes, Stueber
OG: Henderson, Keegan, Zinter
C: Oluwatimi
DE: Harrell, Hutchinson, Morris, Ojabo…
Hear me out, hear me out…
If Bo Schembechler disciple Jim Harbaugh doesn’t return to Michigan next year, is there any better replacement than…
…Jim…
…bo?
I find myself saying this repeatedly on message boards:
It is NOT
#Michigan
's "running backs coach" deciding to rotate 4 running backs. The RB coach isn't that powerful. That's a program decision from the HC/OC.
Stop blaming Jay Harbaugh for doing what his bosses tell him.
I just can't believe the epic poor judgment of Mel Tucker trying to get with Brenda Tracy. Aside from the status of his marriage and the he-said-she-said stuff, he had a ridiculous guaranteed contract that basically just required him not to be an idiot. Turns out, he's an idiot.
For all the talk about Aubrey Solomon and how much he would be missed, he made 17 tackles and 1 QB hurry during the 2020 season.
For a reference point, Carlo Kemp made 21 tackles, 3 TFL, 2 sacks, and 1 QB hurry in four fewer games.
@daily_msu
You can either brag about all-time record or you can brag about the most recent game.
Otherwise, it's just selectivity.
Unfortunately, Michigan is better all-time and better this year. No need to fight it.
I keep searching Twitter to figure out how that wasn’t kick catch interference.
Also, Fox, no replay of whether Edwards got his foot down?
Not a fan of this production today.
When Michigan vs. Maryland gets canceled for this weekend, I will be offering a Zoom clinic as alternative programming, in which I will explain in great detail the QB sneak play and why it's not that f***ing hard to gain 1 foot.
@theblockspot
I don't get it. Denard Robinson and Terrelle Pryor couldn't hack it at QB in the NFL, so they changed positions and had better careers.
Any player who needs to change positions to play in the NFL should change positions. Unless they want to sell real estate for a living.
#Michigan
QB Shea Patterson has more career passing yards than:
Jim Harbaugh
Tom Brady
Brian Griese
Scott Dreisbach
Drew Henson
in just two years in a winged helmet.
Some Michigan people are enjoying these Harbaugh struggles way too much.
I love Harbaugh, and I love Michigan. Harbaugh is a great man, and Michigan is my alma mater.
Go Blue 'til I die.
@BenAxelrod
Or maybe it shows that knowing signs doesn’t create a significant advantage, which reinforces the idea that this is not quite the scandal you’re making it out to be.
More bad news coming for
#Michigan
: According to a source, Jim Harbaugh is being blamed for Andrew Luck's denied application for immediate Medicare eligibility.
@daily_msu
LOL. Yep, Michigan's been sending advance scouts to steal signs so they can then wait until the 2nd half to start using their advance intel.
As
#Michigan
fans, we don't talk enough about the greatness of Derrick Alexander. Somehow between Anthony Carter and Braylon Edwards, people forget about the dude who had 4 career punt return touchdowns, averaged 15.8 yards/reception, and caught a TD on 17.6% of his receptions.
@AriWasserman
LOL. Ryan Day has nothing to gain from causing a distraction, suspension, or firing of the best coach on his schedule year in and year out? A guy he’s 1-2 against?
Your homer is showing.
Joe Milton for
#Tennessee
right now: 52.6% completions, 5.3 yards/attempt, 3.2 yards/carry
Joe Milton for

: 56.6% completions, 7.9 yards/attempt, 3.1 yards/carry
It's like night and day...you know, if you live at one of the poles.
Mike Macdonald is only a good defensive coordinator because of Connor Stalions's brother, Donner Stalions, who's a defensive assistant for Baltimore.
Oh, and because of copious amounts of Blitzen.
There's a lot of Cade McNamara hate going around, but he's
#4
in the Big Ten conference in passing efficiency without an offensive coordinator who understands the passing game - and without his
#1
receiver.
Honest question: Are there any coaches who complain, whine, or make make excuses more than Tom Izzo? I don't watch enough basketball press conferences to know.
BREAKING NEWS: ARI, ATL, BAL, BUF, CAR, CHI, CIN, CLE, DAL, DEN, DET, GB, HOU, IND, JAC, KC, LAC, LAR, MIA, MIN, NE, NO, NYG, NYJ, OAK, PHI, PIT, SF, SEA, TB, TEN, and WAS all plan to hire Jim Harbaugh.
I just finished watching this East-West Shrine Game, and I'll say this: Mike Danna, Jordan Glasgow, Mike Onwenu, and Jon Runyan played their asses off. They represented
#Michigan
well.
#Michigan
fandom aside, I don't think the
#Northwestern
job is a good one for Sherrone Moore. Taking over a struggling program with severe limitations and a scandal hanging over its head is not a great idea. Plus he's about to embark on a likely very good season that could launch…
