This will be the thread for hot takes about the overall coaching performance.

Oh Woody Hayes is spinning at high RPM after this game. Thank you Michigan for a wonderful game. So, we will wait and see what team Michigan will meet in Indianapolis for the Big Ten championship. In the meantime, let us savor the feelings of joy and catharsis.

I don't want to hear any more comments about Harbaugh and bad decisions he makes. He just blew out the #2 team in the country, on the road, by 3 TDs, without his Heisman contending RB and with his backup playing with one arm tied behind his back. We'll jump to #2 in the polls, but how many #1 votes will they get after this thrashing.

Chess vs. checkers when it counted.  Michigan played with much poise and made big plays all day long.  Cannot say enough good things about the Michigan secondary which contained OSU and their NFL caliber receivers.  Saintristl is a baller.  Rod Moore made many great plays.  Taylor Upshaw made a great pic too.  JJ settled in and balled too.  How did overloading the box work for OSU ?  Pretty good for JJ, CJ and Michigan,  and they clearly planned for that.  Also loved the fullback jump pass. 28 -3 Michigan second half at the Shue.

Harbaugh kind of needs to be made the highest paid coach in the B1G after this year. Back to back against OSU and potentially back to back B1G titles with a playoff appearance. The dude is killing it here and I'm so happy he's our man at the helm

Harbaugh outcoached Ryan Day for the second time. Thanks to the ENTIRE coaching staff for preparing these guys on both sides of the ball and believing in there abilities. You pulled it off.

BTW-Your now 12 and 0! Can you believe it? Many thanks, you earned it!

GO BLUE!!

The epitome of class is JH hugging JJ and then walking away from the interview.  It’s about the players.  Not him.  One begins to understand why these young men will play their hearts out for him. He truly gets it.

Terrible clock management as usual - am I doing this right? Jk…absolutely pantsed OSU in all aspects of the game. Completely shut down after halftime. Offense had 5 50+ yard TDs. Crazy.

Didn't have our Heisman candidate and engine of our offense, but we had the TEAM (x3). Credit to the coaches for having everyone prepared to play the game of their lives.

Outscoring OSU 28-3 in the second half? That is resilience and that is mental and that is driven by coaching and culture. Go blue!

They had that home crowd energy, and it seriously fueled them.

But once Michigan got their feet under them and threw a counter punch to the jaw, you could sense that OSU couldn’t handle the moment. 
 

They *were* physically better than last year (controlled the trenches for the first half), but mentally just as soft. That’s how you get multiple personal fouls after the play.  Couldn’t handle a 4-quarter dogfight and wilted when shit started getting real in the 2nd half. 

You love to see it.
