Deadend? Being second only to Texas in money available? Michigan is one of the more marketable names in apparel...and that is with a decade of mediocrity. It's one of the more prestigious jobs in the country. Michigan isn't a sleeping giant...they are a fat, lazy, out of shape giant...that the world needs to fear if they ditch the couch and hit the gym.
There was a little spat between them when he was the coach at Stanford. He made a comment saying unlike Michigan coaches, he can't just stick his players in PE classes to maintain academic eligibility. It was definitely a gut shot for university who prides itself on academics. However the lure of returning to greatness will override any lingering resentment. I also think Michigan will finally open up its purse strings.
Harbaugh would be Schembechler reincarnated at Michigan.
Actually, he would win more than Bo did.
His style of play fits Michigan recruiting perfectly.
At what major program is it acceptable to not win immediately? Both Rich Rod and Hoke were given at least three years to turn the program around. While my response was sarcastic, it did prove my point. I'm only 30 myself but being a sports fan I picked up a bit of knowledge along the way.
