Harbaugh on Tom Crean
Our coach values family above sports. Works for me.
I think he could have said something along the lines of "I hope Tom coaches the best game of his life, but Michigan still pulls out the win"
My thoughts on Tom Crean: he's a douche.
can't really get upset at family first, although it makes my eye twitch a bit.

Who on earth would neg this gem?
Yeah poor Tom Crean. I'm sure if he ever gets fired he'll be begging for change within a year.
And it pissed off Pat Beilein too, iirc; he had a tweet, withdrawn, complaining about it. This is not a good look for our football coach. Better to keep his sentiments to himself, say something a little more politic like "I'd be very torn, etc."
Also, let's separate matters out--wanting to see your bro-in-law succeed is one thing; wanting to see him beat Michigan is another. If I'm Manuel I'm measuring my big boy pants and asking Jim to cool it on this one. A serious danger that, at some point, this explodes into public view in an unpleasant way.
At some point we will see who calls the shots in the AD.
I'm not a fan of Harbaugh's comment either, but it's not really that big of a deal that the AD needs to get involved. This was just an off-the-cuff response to a question intended to put him on the spot. And hasn't it already been reported that Manuel has spoken to Harbaugh about some of his tweets? I do think that was appropriate--not to censor--but to point out that not every perceived attack requires a response.
Seriously? Harbaugh loves Michigan as much as anyone and that was evident when he left about 10 NFL job offers on the table to come back to Ann Arbor. How can anyone be mad at him for rooting for his own family. As much as I love UM I would fee the same exact way. Nothing wrong with that and people don't need to be so sensitive about it.
as bad as he is, he probably roots for us against State in football at least despite being Izzo's assistant. Those two are very close (Jim and Tom that is)

Easier to stomach if I understand this is really for his sister, rather than Crean.

the Tom Crean-Indiana relationship isn't going to last much longer, so what's the chance?
Why would he leave Indiana for MSU? IU is a destination job.

Jim secretly wanted to lose to the Ravens.
Discuss.
Come on. What's Harbaugh ever done for Michigan?

I think most of would do the same thing.

Really no right answer here and I have no problems with his sentiment. Next thread!

Makes sense. We all went to (or have always supported) M. If your sorta douchey brother in law, and father of your nephews coached for IU, you would probably root for them too.
But also fuck tom crean
