Cool. He'd make a nice villain.

Every Jug victory will be even sweeter! Minnesota has a jump on Michigan and any coach they hire would have a hard time catching up to a Kill coached team. Get that training facility built. Let's up the recruiting. Beat Missouri and the '16 class will be extremely good! The sleeping giant is awoken.

Spot on. All we need is the training table and the athletic facility. That's all that stands in our way from being a perennial contender in the Big Ten.

It would also help if we had middle school football in the Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Anoka school districts. :)
 

This is good news for the B1G and he will awaken the sleeping Big Blue giant. Just glad that they are in the East division. They have always had great recruiting classes and now they have a great coach. Harbaugh is more suited for the college game. His hard nosed attitude wears thin in the Pros, it works when you keep changing players and he can run the program his way.

Well said.
 

Still a lot of question marks here. Harbaugh is starting to look like a guy who wears out his welcome very quickly. His pattern seems to be: come in, make early improvements, plateau, then leave for another job in the wake of grumbling about his approach. Considering what Michigan has gone through with coaching changes, they can't afford to miss on another hire. They need a long-term guy to bring stability back to the program. That doesn't sound like Harbaugh to me.

Also, the $64,000 question is recruiting. If Harbaugh is not a big-time recruiter, he had better hire some awfully good assistant coaches to handle the recruiting.

This is not a slam-dunk hire in my book. It may work out great, or it may blow up in their faces. To Be Determined........

Where is the pattern? He left Stanford on top and for an NFL job. I don't see a pattern.

People on the internet can talk themselves into anything. Harbaugh is a top 5 coach in all of football (NFL and College) right now, his track record backs it up. He's had a fundamental disagreement with his owner and GM and somehow that makes him a job hopper.
 



I am not sure how his demeaner and coaching tactics will translate to the college game but it is great to have a big name in the conference. His brother is a better coach.

Honestly, Saban to Bama, Urban to Ohio State, and Harbaugh to Michigan are probably the three biggest hires of the last decade.

Exactly. He made San Diego very good, left for a better job, made Stanford very good, and left for a better job. If he fails at Michigan, it will be the first time he has failed in his coaching career. Michigan is not a promotion, but if the reports are true, he'll get a raise. Like Jerry Kill, he has never been fired. I don't know why people feel the need to fabricate their own narrative.

And to be honest, he made the 49ers much better as well, even if they did come back to the pack a bit this year. I'm not excited to see him take the job, he's a damn good coach.
 



Officially out. Jim Delany will be happiest man in the country in less than 48 hours. Credit to Patrick Reusse tweet.

Though I'm not happy about Michigan likely becoming a much better football team in the near future, this is good news. The Big Ten has been blasted in the media about being weak, out-dated, etc., etc., but poaching Harbaugh means this is still a place big names want to be. The Gophers might benefit from the national perception of the Big Ten Conference being stronger with higher rankings, S.O.S., thus if we hold up on our end an even better bowl game. I think we beat Michigan next year even if they summon the spirit of Vince Lombardi to coach them.

Did you just start following college football?

He recruited an outstanding team at...Stanford. Do you really think he can't recruit talent to a football machine like Michigan? Michigan will be putting the fear of Wolverine into ohio within 2 years and making MSU the little brother that it truly is. Harbaugh is/will be a great hire for Michigan and for the prestige of the B1G.
 

I think this is the only way Urban Meyer gets challenged in this conference over the next few years.
 


Good for Michigan. Not good news for big ten east teams. I hope we beat them next year at the bank after next year we may see Michigan for a few years.

Yes. Explain it to me. I have never played the game, I have never been to a game in person, and I have never watched it on TV. I am listening.

Oh, you played???? Well never mind!! Tell me ,m, were you the STAR of the lake conference? Is your go to jam Glory Days?

I guess harbaughs previous success at the college level still leaves in question whether his approach works at the college level, as you said.

Does Harbaugh's previous success at the college level assure future success?
 

Harbough's record at Stanford suggests he'll turn Michigan around quickly - this will be bad for us, good for the Big Ten.

No, but that's not what he said. He said we will see if his style translates to college football, when it already has. Tough concepts.

And just think 4 years ago, people were wondering if his style would translate to the NFL...

my 49er friends say he failed this year. He seems to wear people out after about two years. I expect Michigan to be looking again in 4-5 years.

i do expect cheap khakis to sell out in Michigan though

I don't think its that bad since they are not in our Division and not on our schedule.
It sucks most for MSU and PSU. It's bad for Maryland and Rutgers.

Except for next year (when things should still be broken at Michigan), Minnesota will not be playing Michigan for several years. By the time they are back on the schedule (2020 or 2022?), everything will be different. In the meantime, Michigan being elite again is good for the Big Ten.
 

The Jug should be an annual game, just like the Axe and Pig games. Michigan will challenge tOSU again soon. That is good for the B1G. Kill as us on target to have every game on the schedule winnable to include the B1G Championship. We won't win every game, but we will as good as anyone.
 

How quickly is the East vs. West championship setup dissolved?
