Strong parallels between Harbaugh's legacy and Fritz Crisler's
Both stayed for about a decade
Both had a predecessor (Hoke and Kipke) who completely fizzled out after a promising start to their tenures
Both had an initial "bogeyman" rival they seemingly couldn't beat (Crisler started 0-4 vs Minnesota) before flipping the script
Both ran an offense that was somewhat unconventional in their time frames in college football while being here (championship teams today just don't run our downhill power run offense anymore and win)
And of course, both left going out into the sunset with no equal in a season by winning a national title
Quite a compliment to give I'd say for a Michigan coach to have comparison after only 9 years
