Honestly did not expect this. Fuck
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Saban and the CFB playoff has ruined fans' expectations. It used to be that coaches got a stadium named after them for going 9-3, 10-2, 11-1 and then 9-4 over a four year period. Now, that gets you on the hot seat at some programs. Someone on reddit just told me that they need to fire Harbaugh because this is his ceiling. 11-2 is a damn good ceiling. And this is a hot take, but I don't know if Michigan is going to be a national title contender year in and year out anymore. The depopulating of the midwest, and especially Detroit, in addition to the death of the suburban catholic schools, has taken a huge chunk out of the Michigan recruiting base. I think 12-2 will be their ceiling going forward, except in a year out of every five.
Yeah, the defense took a beating over the course of the season. But I'm surprised that Memphis was able to come in late and turn things around.Maybe, maybe not. We had two games this season in which we scored 49 and still lost by double digits...and that was with a much healthier defense.
Biggest issue with Michigan is their OL is still average at best even though they've gotten significantly better relative to last year. The two teams on their schedule with multiple NFL type DL (ND and OSU) have eaten their lunch up front which is why you've seen the conservative run heavy approach against those two teams IMO since they don't trust them to consistently hold up in pass protection.
Agree 100%I agree with pretty much everything here. Harbaugh's gotten Michigan to the OSU game with a chance at the playoff 2 of 4 years. They're getting crushed now, but that 2016 game came down to a literal inch. He's also lost a ton of coin flip games: Michigan State in 2015 on THAT punt, Iowa in 2016, OSU in 2016, MSU last year, arguably ND this year. In a slightly different world, Harbaugh has been to the playoffs once already and hasn't lost to MSU.
But you have idiots who can't see nuance and see that Harbaugh is 0-4 against OSU and think he's terrible and should be fired.
i'm hoping they decline and accept an invitation yo the cheeze it bowl. thought they renamed that game just to be more attractive to harbaugh!
Reddit suxI like r/CFB for the most part, but man, they're a bunch of idiots. They want USF to fire Charlie Strong, the man who is 17-7 over his two years there. I saw Houston fans saying they wanted Applewhite gone. Now that's a cesspool at times, but see what I mean? Expectations have killed everyone.
I think there's also the added aspect of social media. 15 years ago, you made a claim like that and you were laughed out of the room. Now, social media has embolden fans and has linked them to other people with that same fringe opinion and it's led people to think that their extreme opinions are actually valid.

The color commentator is pure trog lol, he said, “Maybe this is Harbaugh’s last game” and was adament about it when the play by play guy basically said, “What the fuck are you talking about?” as politely as possible
