I'd prefer to not get into a big debate, but Joe was pretty damn good.
Paterno averaged 8.9 wins per season as Penn State’s head coach. He also holds the NCAA records for most bowl appearances (37) and bowl wins (24). He was 24-12-1 in bowl games. And had 5 undefeated seasons.

By the way, I don't think Harbaugh is bad. His teams are tough to handle too. Lloyd's teams seemed to have better offenses, and the defenses were about the same.
Sorry to rub salt in wounds (not my intent)....Carr's teams were very tough to handle.
But it made me happy when UM started trading NFL receivers, QBs, and RBs with little guys...not to mention the 3-3-5, defense.
I've watched Michigan since the mid-80s, when my brother went to school there. IMO, Carr consistently fielded the best UM teams since that time; including Bo's. Generally more nationally competitive, & complete (run, pass, and defense). Always physical, athletic and deep.

PSU.
nothing but class. loser.
As a fan of a competing team, I thought Carr's were the best UM teams we faced.
only the classiest comments from Michigan "Men"
So far, PSU's offense is better than Michigan's, and the defenses are a wash.
IMO the key to the game will be whether UM can get the WRs involved consistently.
Great review. Question is, how does Michigan's offense stack up vs. PSU's defense?
