If you think Jim Harbaugh should be our head coach, you are part of the problem

Fuck this program and this coaching staff.

I’m fine with the staff we have for now. This year was going to be a rebuild regardless. Throw in the Covid opt outs at key positions and you get results like today. I give them the year to get better and if they’re not contenders next year, then I pull the plug. 
 

Not that long ago we were talking about a lifetime contract with a blank check attached to it. I admit that was ridiculous but I’m willing to give it another year to see if the rebuild was successful. Assuming the team shows some progress and development over the course of the season.

Harbaugh must rub a lot of people the wrong way.   Ryan Day's first order of business was to poach 2 valued assistants.   Michigan has an extremely high rate of player attrition and some of it is baffling.   Aubrey Solomon transferred away, at the risk of losing a year, when he was a lock to start last year.   Why?    Michael Dwumfor grad-transferred to Rutgers last year when he was a lock to start this year.   Why?   McCaffrey was likely to start at QB and he walked away.   Again, why?  

It really does feel like the wheels are falling off the cart.  When I think of our best players since Harbaugh arrived here most of them were Hoke recruits.    Rashan Gary was very good but never quite lived up to his 5* status.   Devin Bush is the one Harbaugh recruit who I can definitively make the case for as a stud college player.  Paye and Hutchinson are good but neither of them are as good as the likes of Charlton, Winovich, Wormley, Glasgow or Hurst.  Other than Devin Bush I can't think of a single Harbaugh recruit who can be described as a stud.   Wanna throw Nico Collins out there?  Ok, but he wasn't as productive as Chesson in '15 or Darboh in '16.   

After living through the RR/Hoke years and watching Nebraska can its 9-3 coach a few years ago (they haven't sniffed 9 wins since) because that kind of record isn't good enough for Nebraska, I have been in the camp of "who do we replace him with"?  

I am now on board with replacing him.  That '16 team was truly great - just lacked QB depth.   '15 was great simply due to the rapid turnaround of the program.   '17 exposed serious problems with the program that have persisted ever since.  The program has never been the same after that '16 season.

this is the "9-7 isn't good enough" fire Caldwell take.

See the "who ya gonna get" thread.

If you fire Harbaugh the replacement will be worse. If you have someone definitively better lined up and can talk Harbaugh in to moving on voluntarily go for it.
