Thank you, Jim

Some are probably upset right now but I'm content and thankful for the past eight years, and especially the past three. He did what he set out to do and what we hoped he could do.

Let's keep this train rolling.

Yep! No man is bigger than the team.

 

I still remember the sentiments surrounding the 2013 and 2014 OSU games. In 2013 we were so happy to have kept it close. In 2014 the people in the room all said early on how we hoped it would stay close long enough to enjoy it. From that to turning the tide in the rivalry and now national champions.

 

Thank you, Coach Harbaugh. I hope you like the statue that’s sure to be standing proudly in Ann Arbor.

Thank you, indeed.

He promised us he wouldn't look around for 7-years when he got here.  

He started looking after that as he wanted to go to the NFL.

Moore is the coach and we will be fine.

Would've been great if he stayed, but the aura of the last three years will live forever. Had the possibility of fading a little if he left and lost some games to OSU.

Said similar things about McCarthy, Edwards (though thrilled he’s coming back) and the others who, while still having eligibility, are leaving UM having no idea what it feels like to lose to OSU.

 

Harbaugh gets to leave on as high a note as he could have. He saved Michigan from mediocrity.

Cant say I blame him. The juvenile bullshit he had to endure this year is beyond comprehension. Now Sherrone has a chance to be 2-0 against the snitch down south.

I'll miss the weirdness in a way. I don't think his schtick will work any longer in the NFL than it did the first time. But good luck to him.

Co-sign. Everything we dreamed of when he was hired and more. The best three-year stretch of football we will ever see, almost certainly. The program is in a strong position going forward, and there is a logical successor in place who even has game experience. 

He came home. He saw. He worked hard. He succeeded, he failed, he re-tooled, he put together an incredible staff and roster. He won.

Nothing but gratitude.

I just think he could have really established a legacy

The natty is great and I'm happy about it, but it the program falls apart now I think it will detract from his legacy

It would detract from any legacy at Michigan. But does a coaching mercenary like Harbaugh care about legacy in the way we, as fans, think of it? If he did, he'd be one of the guys who sticks around for another decade. 

I'm just thankful for the terrific run he had. This program was notably improved even during that first game loss at Utah. The middle years struggle with goliath, in the end, just made these last three years all the sweeter. The dude flat out, beat the shit out of them with 'less' and capped it with a National Title.
