Michigan's opening dud feels like the beginning of the end for Jim Harbaugh
Yahoo ^ | September 2, 2018 | Pat Forde

Jim Harbaugh was hired, at great cost and with towering fanfare, to bring back the bygone days of Michigan football. He’s done it. Just not the way anyone envisioned. After the latest offensive debacle — another Harbaughcle, if you will — the Wolverines have their first four-game losing streak since the Rich Rodriguez Era and the 2009 season. Nobody in maize and blue has ever wanted to put Harbaugh and Rich-Rod in the same sentence, yet here we are. You might have thought Brady Hoke Era was bad, and you’d be right — but at least Hoke never lost four in a row. Harbaugh now has.

Is there a #FireHarbaugh website based in Ann Arbor yet? What a huge disappointment Big Blue was last night. The defense got torched on NDs first couple of possessions, and no offensive TDs until late in the 4th quarter.

Sucks to be Blue.

Big Blue sucks worse.

Both teams looked weak. The offensive lines were both porous. The running backs had little forward motion. And the quarterbacks were slow to give up the ball or throw it away.

Relying ona QB transfer from an SEC school is not going to save your job...

I am sick to death about ESPN’s love affair with big state school “legacy programs” and their over-hyped coaches. ESPN is only concerned with its mass media markets, and not who has the best teams and coaches. Teams like TCU are consistently deemed as aberrations to their “legacy program” paradigm.

I believe Harbaugh has an abysmal record in his games against Ohio State, Michigan State and Notre Dame.

Been more than a decade since Michigan won on the road against a ranked team.

Slow to the ball and poorly coached. Almost like they phoned it in after a big contract payday.

Harbaugh, when asked if he would miss the NFL: "Why? It is going somewhere?"

He had better hope not. On the other hand, he is the man who made and gave the world Colin Kaepernick, so that has to count for something. :)

I don’t think that Saban transferring to UofM would save the team.

No need to panic. Yet.... the Wolverines lost to Notre Dame at South Bend. No shame in that. And they were not exactly blown out, even though the offense was rather anemic.

Harbaugh has yet to beat Ohio State. That has to change if he wants to keep his job.

There's only one Michigan game that matters to me...September 1, 2007.

Appalachian - 34, Michigan - 32

Go Mountaineers!

That game flushed whatever history of success(little, actually)UofM had right down the toilet...and they've been pretty much irrelevant since.

...Penn St. dodged a bullet to their program yesterday, though I don't think(with a loss)they would have got the laughs UofM got/still get.

Malaise and Blues

Or telling us how his son, who is homosexual, has his “own truths” he has to live by.

What a moron and loser.
