Yes, completely fair to equate Franklin’s lack of wins in Madison to Harbaugh’s. How dare Franklin have zero wins in zero opportunities.
Harbaugh’s 2016 choke job in Iowa City is always chalked up to “Night Kinnick,” yet Franklin is 2-0 at Iowa in night games.
Given Harbaugh’s expectations when he was hired, and the constant derision of Franklin, it’s quite a comedown to be arguing vociferously in support of the idea that their coaching records are essentially equal.
Why does Gattis get credit for the good PSU offenses of 2016 and 2017, but none of the blame for the bad PSU offenses of 2014 and 2015? He played the same role each of those years, correct?
PSU last played on Thursday night and UM last played on Saturday afternoon. PSU was better rested, but it wasn’t the 5 day/2 day disparity you described.
It’s also a meaningless statistic. How many does Michigan have, two? Is that disparity (2-1) indicative of the gulf in football tradition between Michigan and Kansas?
So you agree that recognizing the talent of these four players was not unique to Harbaugh and that, in fact, multiple peer coaches did so before him? If so, then we’re on the same page.

How many games has Franklin coached in Madison? What’s his record against Wisconsin? How is Harbaugh’s record in Columbus and Madison by the way?
Michigan is so good they’re better than teams they lose to. Pretty impressive.
At least Franklin had the foresight to recruit Hamlet.
How long have you been a Manchester City fan?
Yet you apparently continue to listen to their podcast.
UM beat South Carolina last year?
Gesicki and Chris Godwin would start for UM this year. Barkley was far better than anyone on UM this year.
Why does Drevno get blamed for Alaric Jackson? Wouldn’t that ultimately be Harbaugh’s decision?
Gattis was also part of the offensive stagnation that preceded Moorhead.
Alabama is a lesser team than Michigan?
2…
6 years with Franklin
2 years with Moorhead
1 year with Locksley
It’s sad that UM had to turn to a Franklin protege to attempt to resurrect its offense.
Why did Harbaugh oppose Hudson’s immediate eligibility? His own actions don’t live up to his proposal.
No, your suggestions have to be at least remotely realistic.
It’s pathetic that UM keeps Zordich on staff and now views a Franklin disciple, Gattis, as its offensive savior.
How about Zordich, who was directly coached by Sandusky for four years and now graces UM’s staff?
Joepa loving fans = Phil Martelli

No, you’re the brave one. Your memories of someone else playing football have been slightly tarnished, yet you find the strength to carry on.
It’s just weird you feel so strongly about something so inconsequential.
Why do you take Higdon’s choice to sit out as a personal affront?
What do you think explains Moorhead’s relatively disappointing offense with Miss. St. last year?
Why does Gattis get credit for the good PSU offenses of 2016 and 2017, but none of the blame for the bad PSU offenses of 2014 and 2015? He played the same role each of those years, correct?
Was Michigan the first big offer for Lewis, McGregor, or Morant?
The Stanford Cardinal refers to the color, not the bird. I don’t think it’s accurate to say he is “going to be a Cardinal.”
What about Fleming?

It’s laughable to insinuate that there is any pro-PSU ref bias in the Big Ten. The Big Ten could not care less about the success of PSU basketball.
Why can Michigan fans “now feel good about” the picture?
He wasn’t at PSU the year of the Robinson catch. Why include the picture?

Alabama was really good in Saban’s second year, going undefeated in the regular season. Did they do that with all first and second year players?
That’s a relief. People never change their minds, particularly when it comes to Michigan football.
Why did you include an apostrophe when referring to the Bosas?
The difference is that Brohm may actually beat Clemson from time to time.
Are you sure your apostrophe use is correct?

If anything, wouldn’t it be East Ohio?
It’s also a meaningless statistic. How many does Michigan have, two? Is that disparity (2-1) indicative of the gulf in football tradition between Michigan and Kansas?
I don’t think that’s correct.
I’m pretty sure that’s former rb Andre Robinson, who also wore no. 6.
That’s not Cam Brown in the main picture.
Didn’t Harbaugh complain to the Big Ten about Michigan State holding in 2016? Didn’t he whine about the refereeing in the 2016 Ohio State game.
Why are they so mad?

It was in the first half, not late in the game.

All four were committed to P5 schools. It’s disingenuous to imply that Harbaugh saw something in these players that others didn’t.
