Good game Michigan

Good to see Bama go out with a win. Heck of an effort by UM.

RTR

Wouldn't be my favorite thing, but scUM going out on yet another season-closing loss is always cause for a smile.

It was a really pretty day to get great footage of the meteor hitting the field (if only my wish came true).

 

[cwerph]

Any other coach would be out IMO. Harbaugh is over paid and over hyped and under delivers IMO.

IOW, the perfect coach for the skunkWeasel Vagerines.

My only thoughts. How much is Harbaughs buyout? And name a coach Michigan could go after. One that would be a big game coach.

 

[Wamu]

Nah didn't mean that as a low blow. Just saying if Day can recruit his own players even close and it shows on the field, be another long few years.

Okay my bad then. I thought you were pulling a maizeNblue09. Talking overly homeristic trash. But for a 1st year coach I was surprised where Ohio State ended in recruiting.

 

[navamind]

congrats bama fans

Hate to say it but 38-20 Bama.

Pretty damn close. Hate to say it.

Have no idea what the buyout would be. But as far as a replacement Les Miles? Didn't he play in ann arbor?

I would rather bring in a high school assistant than Les I have no idea what offense is Miles

it's cool. The first part of my post was referring to the instant success of Day and JH can't get it straight over half a decade.

Harbaugh has to be out, doesn't he?

He is paid like coaches that win Natty's and he can't even win his division much less beat a Top 20 team.

Should be. This Alabama defense has been struggling, and his team only puts up 16 points. This was Harbaugh's perfect opportunity for a signature win against a depleted Bama team that might not even care about this bowl game, but Harbaugh fell flat on his face again.

 

[GNG]

Harbaugh just can't get it done in big games.

He is better as an NFL coach.

 

[fritowrdo]

IOW, the perfect coach for the skunkWeasel Vagerines.

As a THE fan, I love him but Michigan fans have to be going nuts with how little he has delivered post season.

I got it! Hue Jackson.

I was shocked the Buckeyes went 13-0.
I was shocked the Buckeyes won the B1G.
I was shocked the Buckeyes kept the recruiting train rolling.

It was a great year despite the ignominious end.

 

[cwerph]

As a THE fan, I love him but Michigan fans have to be going nuts with how little he has delivered post season.

And that's perfectly fine by me.

I think the players and coaches cared. Plenty happened in the 1st half that could’ve caused a team that didn’t care to quit.

I was expecting the same thing in which Hargaugh would get a bowl game win against a top tier program even if they are depleted and missing their best player.

But did not get it done.

Props to Jeudy for not sitting it out.
