Komet posted:I could see this being a really ugly 13-6 type of game. Does Harbaugh make it to the end of the season if Rutgers beats Michigan? Yes, Michigan losing to Rutgers would be a fireable offense, but Rutgers is 120th in Sagarin. They are worse than Florida's FCS opponent this week, Towson, who is ranked 115th in Sagarin. The most likely outcome is Harbaugh agreeing to go NFL job hunting after ENSD, and NFL teams getting in a bidding war over Harbaugh. Or worst case, Michigan megadonor and Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross will hire Harbaugh to be a "Special Assistant to the Owner." I wonder if the Ohio Men who have been thirsting to be OSU coach from birth - Matt Campbell, Luke Fickell - would answer Michigan's call, or if they would wait until Ryan Day gets fired for going 9-3

Ohio State hasn't really played anyone yet, but it's hard to see them losing. Maybe Wisconsin, but 11-1 seems like a worst case scenario for them. They have to play Michigan State on the road at night, but Michigan State's offense is too bad to pose much of a threat. So in this sense, it might be a few years before the OSU job opens up. Some sports betting site did have Fickell on the board as a possible Michigan replacement. Michigan needs to go out and bring in a not-Michigan Man, if they can even tolerate the thought. Michigan under Rich Rodriquez was the most exciting they had been in a long time. They just didn't play the level of defense necessary to win the Big Ten.

So in this sense, it might be a few years before the OSU job opens up. it won’t happen; they look like poo poo this year so they’ll trot out another pro style team and can the offense and give harbaugh one more year unless they lose out if they were getting blown out on defense but the new look offense was getting results, sure, but i can 100% see michigan boosters going full on georgia and insisting that harbaugh run the dang ball and accepting that as the fix

Harbaugh has been disappointing relative to expectations but I don't know that firing him would accomplish a lot. They've still been mostly a good to very good team during his tenure and short of Urban Meyer, which can't happen for a bunch of reasons, I still don't really see anyone available who would be an obvious upgrade.

I'm stealing this top comment from reddit because i think it's a very reasonable assessmentquote:Harbaugh has been Michigans coach for 4 full seasons and in that time he's gone 10-3 3 times and 8-5 once. Brady Hoke was the coach for four years and went 11-2 (weird) followed by 8-5, 7-6, and 5-7. Before him Rich Rod went 3-9, 5-7, and 7-6. The last four seasons of Lloyd Carr before RichRod were 9-3, 7-2, 11-2, and 9-4

Really the big issue with Michigan is that they can't stop comparing themselves to OSU but OSU is coming off a stretch where they had one of the two most successful coaches on the last, like, 20 years and has a lot of natural recruiting advantages over Michigan on top of that.Nissin Cup Nudist posted:They should hire James Franklin, he actually beat Ohio St once Look I already went through Ferentz to Michigan rumors once don't make me do it again.

The problem is I'm pretty sure that Michigan can find a coach for way less then $8 mil a year to go 9-3. You pay a guy that much and you better expect him to win something.

Success begets success if you plan it out accordingly. A lot of the necessary pieces have always been there, even as far back as CJ Spiller and James Davis, leading up to Ellington, Hopkins, Watkins. Tajh was good starter dough and gave us a glimpse of what success could look like with a great QB, and Watson was absolutely the catalyst for putting everything together. Without Watson, we wouldn't have had the clout to pull a guy like Lawrence. Now it's a matter of parlaying Lawrence's success into more great QB recruiting.

Success in college football is a matter of lucking into the right coaches who happen to have their pulse on the college football coaching world schematically at exactly the right time. And then paying athletes under the table.

Ohio and Michigan are functionally the exact same same state with the exact same issue no matter how one team spins it. Urbz could recruit a few extra florida players, I guess.

Yeah - what the gently caress, why don't people hire away their coordinators - they've had the same OC since Morris left 4-5 years ago and Venables is eternal. In my head, Clemson is just following the trajectory of Mack Brown's Texas teams getting VY and then Colt McCoy for 4 years - so, good luck with the 2020's Clemson friends

From experience - it really sucks when your in state rivalry game is cancelled due to petty fights that no one cares about except a tiny number of highly influential people.
