These overreactions are always hilarious, they lose to a top 10 team on the road and now they are not a blue blood anymore. Fucking twitter
Saban is definitely a far superior recruiter than Harbaugh, it's just a shame he's still scared to test his coaching acumen on the highest level of the sport
Is your statement that in order to be the best coach in college football you should coach in the NFL?
Saban, purely from a coaching perspective, was a good coach in the NFL. His downfall was his roster decisions and the Dolphins medical staff telling him Brees was done. He went 9-7 with Gus Frerotte at QB coming off a 4-12 disaster the year before.
Why? He has a top 3 job in CFB, makes a fortune and has built a well oiled machine of a program. The fuck he wanna coach the Jaguars for?
Because he can make $10 million coaching college too and not deal with all the professional egos and be a dick and still get his players to respond.
Just so I have this right, Michigan was still a blue blood when RichRod went 15-22 and Hoke went 31-20, and they combined to go 24-32 in B1G games. It was still a blue blood when it lost home games to Maryland and Minnesota and a road game at Rutgers in 2014, while the AD was responding to angry emails from alums by telling them to cheer for someone else. But Michigan is not a blue blood because Harbaugh is 40-15 overall and 26-10 in B1G play?
Maybe there’s a cumulative effect to these things? And maybe it’s amplified when the third underachieving coach in a row is billed as the program’s savior “once he gets his players” and then he continually shits the bed?
It's definitely the 2nd part of this sentence. Pro players aren't scared of coaches, especially midgets who they know need them in order to win. I remember reading a story about how he tried that tough guy act initially and players literally just laughed in his face for it. It's a lot easier in college when you hold someone's enrollment at a school over their head.
They have five opponents on their remaining schedule vs. teams in the current top 25? Nice sentence, Cody.
Yeah, Michigan is not a blue blood anymore not because Harbaugh has underachieved, but because Michigan hasn’t been nationally relevant in 20 years.
I hate Michigan as much as anyone but if we are demoting blue bloods, there’s one out west that just played a home game against a top 10 team on a Friday night, on a field that had the name of an airline stenciled on it, in between field level advertisements for mUSCle milk. And the stadium was like 1/2 full at kickoff.
- No unanimous conference title since 2003 - 11 losses in their last 15 bowl games - One unanimous national championship since VJ Day Eh, blueblood may be pushing it. Spoiler I kid, but was surprised to see those factoids
Good thing for Michigan is at least Josh Gattis is an offensive genius who will get this straightened out. Just ask him and Bruce Feldman.
