I quit playing baseball in high school because it was too boring for me. I got to bat only 3-4 times a game and in centerfield I'm guessing 4 or 5 balls came my way. Batting pratice was glacially slow.
In basketball there was constant action. Football practice could be boring at times, but the games were great.

His job pays him to eat, sleep, breathe and talk about football. I have zero doubt Harbaugh respects the "manliness" surrounding hockey or surgery or the USMC or firefighters or anything else, but his business is football and he's going to concentrate on and promote it.
If he was Red's replacement or President Schlissel or Gen. Mattis or did FDNY recruiting he'd say the same thing about any of those respective jobs, and there's not anything wrong with that.

I feel like I'll like Harbaugh better if I don't watch this...

He's not as unlikable as I feared. And I wouldn't characterize his competitiveness as borderline pathological, either, which is how this segment was promoted. He's a quirky character who hates losing and that was never taught out of him. He was encouraged to be that way, and had an outlet in his own athletic ability. Also, he says what he thinks. My father is like that, so I'm used to it and actually find it preferable to candy-coating. You know exactly where you stand at all times.

in my opinion, Harbaugh loves being the head coach of Michigan. But aside from that, I don't think his ego would let him jump to the NFL again without bringing this program back to dominance.

For the record, I agree with you Harbaugh is at UM long term. But the other side of the coin is so easy to see, it's not surprising non-biased general media types see it that way.

Convincing themselves that Harbaugh can fail at anything football-related is the only thing that helps the Buckeyes sleep these days.

Apparently no one here can read. I don't think he is a failure at all. He is one of the best football coaches in any league. But, my point was I can definitely see how general sports media people like Andrea Kramer can see a guy losing a Super Bowl to his brother, getting fired after a miserable year and ditching the NFL for college is a semi-failure. Most NFL people don't see people leaving the shield to go back to college as a "success."
I mean, that's why general media types are idiots, they have to appeal to the masses, and the masses are stupid. But people here are up in arms as to why media types are saying he's going back to the NFL. You guys are letting these people worry you, I'm pointing out they're kinda dumb, and that their general opinion means nothing.

Maybe you were in such a rush to disagree with my post you didn't read and digest it well enough.
I keep upvoting you because it's hilarious. Reminds me of this Doug Exeter joke

Um didn't he leave the NFL with the highest winning percentage among all active coaches and the 5th-best in NFL history?
April 22nd, 2015 at 12:31 AM ^
Right. Left the NFL. Which is my point. General media people see leaivng the NFL for college as a failure. Obviously you and I don't feel that way, but we aren't PTI/Around The Horn/HBO/ESPN idiots who think Harbaugh is going to bail on Michigan in three years.
With the translation of success from college to the pros that both Pete Carroll and Chip Kelly have had and the ongoing success of Nick Saban at Alabama I think there has been some bridging of the divide between college and the NFL. Obviously, HBO has an axe to grind here as an NFL "partner" (albeit a minor one).
I haven't seen so much coverage on Harbaugh going back to the NFL as much as a view that he gave AA the "hometown discount" and sheer incredulousness from shield shilling analysts that thats is such an incredible move.
Media people also killed Carroll and the hire when he went from the NFL to USC, and despite the massive amounts of success he had at USC, general media types then were quick to point out his '90s NFL failures when Seattle hired him back from USC.
General media people also killed Saban when he left Miami for perhaps the most prestigious college job in the country. It's what happens. NFL media is dumb and wrong a lot.
I think NFL people by and large think anyone who can't hack it in the NFL are failures and anyone who leave the NFL for college are failures. Regardless of the circumstances or successes.
Also, I can't think of anyone who was as successful in the NFL as Harbaugh up and leaving for college. Usually they underwhelm in the pros before they leave for the NCAA.
Leaving the whole Harbaugh/NFL thing out of this reply, do you think Alabama is the most prestigious job in college? I might be biased or in the minority, but I think I'd give that to USC without much competition, probably followed by ND.
I don't think "best" and "prestigious" are the same, although Southern Cal has a claim on best as well. I don't think ND is close to the top of "best jobs" in 2015.
I think yes. Most national championships. Best conference. Richest football program. It's pretty hard to top the prestige of Alabama. I agree with you on "best" =/= "prestige". I think Texas would be the "best" job to have.
I see Texas and USC as fairly equal depending on the coach. Carrol was perfect for USC, Brown was perfect for Texas once upon a time. There's a big drop to the rest of the flagships in talent rich states, then the Oklahoma, Michigan, ND ties that have everything except a backyard they can base a program on. After that everything seems more fluid because coaches will leave for better jobs.
For prestige I just don't think Alabama has the glamour factor. FWIW I don't think Michigan does either, and that's a good thing in my opinion.
