Will Harbaugh Find A Way To Blow This Game?

DOM-Ganador · 11-25-17, 02:45 PM

14-0 lead in first half of a college football game. As a 12 pt. dog.
UR right sir, insurmountable lead.

Unless this is the reverse jinxer, hmmm......

Harbaugh can do no right in your eyes.

Turned around a dead program? "Well, he didn't beat Ohio State"

Beating Ohio State with John freakin O'Korn? "If he blows the lead, he should get fired."

What will you say if he wins a national title one day? "He hasn't won more then John Wooden has, so he should be fired."

I still think he needs to do better, especially re. QB play and overall offense. Time to win a few more big ones and get in the discussion.
Year 4 next year, all his recruits. His WAR is still very high IMO.

Time to win a few more Big Ones? Which "Big One" has he won at Michigan. Why you fools constantly question me on Harbaugh is totally dumb and inexcusable. Ohio State lost their starting QB. Michigan blew their first lead and came back to take the lead again, only to botch the PAT, a Harbaugh specialty of late. Still, Harbaugh and company find a way to lose. Harbaugh has been there for 3 years now. He has lost more games this season (4) than the past two seasons (3 each). That is with many of his own recruits playing. He is 0-3 vs Ohio State and 1-2 vs Michigan State and that is just a sh*t record. NO ONE can deny this. Ralphie, stop thinking that you know it all because you are not even close. You just show your ignorance arguing with me. I have NOT been wrong about Harbaugh before and I will NOT be wrong this time.

O'Korn is the 3rd string QB.

Having a QB is everything. You can mask an average QB with a really strong run game (Georgia), but you can only hide a really shitty one for so long.

Nobody's saying shit about Jimbo Fisher., and he's only on his 2nd string QB, and his record is way worse. But people like Jimbo Fisher, so it's all okay.

But you're right, people who make a lot more money than we do to make smart decisions know that Harbaugh aint goin nowhere, regardless of what happens this year or even next.

Again, Michigan was on their 3rd string QB.

And you're wrong, as usual.

I disagree with you on this. The QB position has been up in the air all year. When starter was hurt against Purdue, O'Korn was the co starter. That means he has been taking 1st team snaps since then. Harbaugh played both guys so O'Korn was the backup since Purdue AT WORST. He has been with Harbaugh for 3 full years. For him to be so bad is not only a reflection on him but Harbaugh as well. Don't forget that the 2 hurt QB's aren't much better than O'Korn. Harbaugh beat Penn ST and Wisc last year. He hasn't beaten any other good team in 3 yrs. At what point do the excuses stop??? I'm not saying he is a bad coach by any means, but certainly hasn't done anything in 3 yrs at Michigan beyond average.

I think with Harbaugh is he clearly does not want to coach college, he was pressured into it because his reputation was so bad, nobody in the NFL would hire him after SF and his ego would not let himself sit out a year. He should have sat for a year and then the NFL teams would have come running back to him.

The guy almost won a Super Bowl, and just missed getting to two others, with Kapernick and Alex Smith.

That said, no excuse for the poor recruiting on offense at Michigan. Three years in he still has trash at QB, and unless he gets some super freshman, the problems will continue next year.

He’s the biggest dipshit here. Why wouldn’t he be wrong more than right. Lol.

I don't think too many people are making excuses, rather just impressed being able to go 8-4 with a super young team in a brutal Big 10 East with a QB that was especially awful, and if the other two were healthy, he would easily be 3rd string. Wilson Speights isn't anything to write home about, but he doesn't give games away, and can convert on 3rd down every once in awhile.

But people just hate Jim Harbaugh, so the narrative goes the other way. Plus this forum is flooded with middle-aged men who act like millenials and only understand instant gratification.

Michigan knows what likely lies ahead with this program, and they have every reason to be excited.

I hate him and I think his ego mania is catching up to him with players and staff. But that has nothing to do with my assessment of the program. 3 yrs is a lifetime at Michigan. Other coaches do more with younger players. Lots of guys getting canned after 3 yrs. He has benefited from a cake schedule and the Big 10 in general is overrated. Once again, not bad, but I have no idea why anyone would think they make any great strides in the coming years.
