I can excuse a guy who coaches in Michigan... for having 20th ranked recruiting classes especially when neither had coached in their respective conferences before arriving there......Those places are a far cry from sitting in the middle of FLORIDA, you know that state which produces hundreds of top recruits every year,..... along with having coached there and in the conference for 12 years prior.....
Seriously? Michigan has the top viewership and highest ratings per game and is the #6 WSJ value ranking behind tOSU, Texas, Oklahoma, Bama, and LSU. And Harbaugh's '18 class is the lowest ranked Michigan class since Rich Rodriguez' 2011 class. Yeah, the brand ranked 17th in that recent POS recruit brand index, but we've noted the sample size/complexion problems with that.

Harbaugh simply ain't getting it done, and one more year of mediocrity will likely signal the end to his stay in Ann Arbor.

I would say a good percentage of the board was already off the Butters train after the Michigan game or at least on the fence.
I was off the train after the Michigan game too.....the one(Bowl game) in 2015...:lol:


The same article that was a repeat of the Staples interview from the previous year, that still only tells one side of the story?
So after lying about death threats who do you believe now, Mac or Grier? :scratchhead:


Don't think anyone said 6 game wonder,
You're right about this one... it was "he only had 5 good quarters"......or maybe I heard that one wrong, maybe they were saying he'll have 45 good quarters in a full season?

Writing was on the wall on that one....
I think you might have been the only other person on this board who wasn't convinced that we were stuck with him until at least the end of 2018....

Look at Mullen's record, how would you say he was going to be anything else at this point?
That's my point....I have been blasted here for questioning his 18th ranked class....Like how dare I question a living legend in the college coaching world, I mean all those titles and......well you know. FTR I'm not anti Mullen but I'm not that impressed with a #18 ranked class either....

Same people I have believed from the begining, and none of them are Grier or McElwain. Also unlike those two, their story hasn't changed.

Oh boy.....The top 20 reference was to where his TEAMS have finished in the final rankings....
Way to back out of that one. Good to see that your Litmus test for a great coach is consistently finishing in the top 20.

I can excuse a guy who coaches in Michigan or at a place like Arky for having 20th ranked recruiting classes especially when neither had coached in their respective conferences before arriving there......
Hairballs is on his fourth year at Mich and he finished 24th in recruiting rankings this year! Mich was ranked 4th their previous two seasons so your bullshiit about poor talent and not coaching in respective conferences doesn't hold weight.

Ohio State does just fine in recruiting and they are far away from FL. Even Nebraska, with a new coaching staff out-ranked your boy Hairballs with their 2108 recruiting class. At this point I'm not even sure what we are debating anymore.

You're looking at the class without taking into account two factors: 1) It's a transition class, which usually aren't that great, especially after a dumpster fire year (and again, it is better than Urban Meyer's transition class), and 2) the #18 ranking is based on quantity, not quality. As far as quality of recruit, it's ranked #7 - damn impressive for a transition class.

Whether or not Mullen can turn talent into wins remains to be seen, but I'm baffled at people that are unhappy with this opening class. I expect it to be top 5 next season.

Again he NOW has a loaded team and he's not in the state of Florida....We have more holes in our roster and depth chart in general than a Chinese phone book has Chins so there should be plenty of reasons for elite recruits in the state of FLORIDA to come and play here....certainly more than what netted us #18......besides, I heard Harbaugh is using Mullens latest recruiting method of waiting til next year to get all the good recruits....:lmao2::lmao2::lmao2:

I've been reassured we will be getting ALL the good recruits next year...:rotfl:
When did you become an even more obnoxious version of T REX? This thread was about Harbaugh and Michigan, and you've turned it into a Gator hate-fest.

Your obsessive love for other coaches (like that fat guy that got fired from Arkansas) totally takes you over. If you love Harbaugh so much, why not stock up on Michigan gear? You save up your hate and disdain for not only our current coach, but a previous one that took us to the mountaintop TWICE.

Your priorities just seem wildly out of whack. To this point, Harbaugh has been a massive disappointment and I would predict that a vast majority of the Wolverine fan base would agree.

Well I've seen this blindly unfounded love for something unproven a couple times in the last 7 years so I'm a guarded.....
As far as the rest of your post I must say I'm truly let down by the fact that you seem to have gone to a place where all the other boards reside. What happened to "open" conversations regarding Gator football??? I gladly accept the barrage of smart assed remarks and often personal insults as a price to pay for offering a different point of view sometimes. I 'm not ready to accept mediocrity from one of my few joys in life.....Call me spoiled. I guess I'll just lock myself in the PF until we find out in the fall.....Carry on.

Where did I say you couldn't have an open conversation? I just don't get all the man-love on Harbaugh while simultaneously bashing Mullen. Both of those coaches have the same number of championships.
