Jim Harbaugh's spiral at Michigan continues with worst loss yet
Yahoo Sports ^ | October 31, 2020 | Pete Thamel

They are begging for him to stay in Columbus. They are pleading for him to stick around in State College. They are worried in East Lansing about a contract that’s set to expire in 14 months. Heck, even Indiana is planning on upsizing at their expense.

Amid its sixth season, the Jim Harbaugh experience at Michigan has officially flipped. It began with carnival barker attention and overzealous amounts of Big Blue optimism. It teased within inches of national prominence on the infamous J.T. Barrett fourth-down play at Ohio State in 2016.

But after No. 13 Michigan’s 27-24 home loss to 24-point underdog Michigan State, the Harbaugh experience has spiraled into a predictable heap of uninspired mediocrity.

I was hoping Khaki Pants would get Michigan to challenge THE Ohio State University but except for one year that has not happened.

It was a huge victory by my Spartans. After committing 7 turnovers against Rutgers last week, MSU had none yesterday.

The dude was pretty good in the pros, but he has been a disaster at Michigan.

I'm from PA so I don't care one way or the other.

Only a matter of time before Schiano and RU start dominating.

There are many football ex-powerhouses who have visions of grandeur, Nebraska, Florida State, Miami, Texas, Southern Cal, Tennessee, just to name a few.

All these schools think they should be competing for the National title every single year.

Michigan is not going to be competing for titles until they start to recruit the thug players that Ohio State and Alabama bring in every year. The vast majority who will never receive their degree in basket weaving and Afro Studies.

To all those Michigan fans, I have a question for you. Would you like to trade places with Nebraska? Don’t think so. Be glad you have a mediocre team. It could be worse.

I went to Rutgers. In the 1960s Penn ran into some serious financial difficulties. The Commonwealth gave them the cash. Someone suggested that since Penn took public money, Rutgers should be offered the chance o join the Ivy League. Rutgers turned it down because they wanted to be a football power.

They screwed up.

***Annually and consistently, no one lets you down when the stakes are high more reliably than Harbaugh.***

Ouch!

Harbaugh has never been able to recruit a highly rated quarterback. He hasn’t had a QB who made it to the NFL. It’s strange given that he played QB.

Michigan players have begun wearing decals on their helmets. One reads "BLM" and the other features the word "Equality" beneath six hands giving the Communist salute. Could getting "woke" be contributing to their misfortunes on the football field?

Just ask Dylan McCaffery about Harbaugh.
