These two will provide entertainment value for years to come. Harbaugh will make Urbs wish for his days with Kiffie.

pOSU killed UM in recruiting this year with Harbaugh's late start but this story will have legs for awhile in the recruiting battles to come.

Probably not a wise move by Harbaugh until he's able to field a decent team. Urb's is liable to hang about 60 on him just to welcome him back to the college ranks.

Well it surely will provide entertainment, but I bet it won't matter than much. If he is so hurt he could ask to be released so he could sign with Michigan. If OSU refused they would look bad. I bet he won't be asking.

You're on. I've seen nothing that would lead me to believe Harbaugh is a better college coach than Urbs.

Except maybe coaching a downtrodden nerd school into a top 5 program???

That traditional powerhouse Stanford. I think they had three wins in the 90s.

Fear the tree.

In time he and Urbs will have some great games. Harbaugh in time will give him fits, or spasms perhaps.

I thought Meyer was goofy until I saw one of Harbaugh's interviews where he comes off like a stoner.

So one good season puts him on par with a guy that has won 3 NC's? I guess Bilemma trumps em all? :dunno:

Who did he turn into a top 5 program?

Give Urbs his props but Harbaugh took a crappy program and turned it into at least a top 10, if not 5. Urbs hasn't been in a position to do that.

Harbaugh went after Carroll while Carroll was winning big at USC and beat him, calling him out along the way.

It'll take Harbaugh 2 years to catch up from the Hoke mess but it's going to be fun watching Urbs and how he handles it. He didn't fare well being the hunted previously. Maybe he's learned.

Stanford had one double digit win season under harbaugh in four years and 2 losing seasons. That doesn't equate top 5or 10 program.

From the comment section:

"Who's Harbaugh to criticize? He's deceiving kids every day by telling them if they come to Michigan, they'll win. What greater deception is there than that? :) "

And this quote is on a Gator message board given what we've been through?

C'mon t, he went 12-1 in 2010, winning the Rkse Bowl, certainly a top 5 team at year-end. He inherited a team that had previously gone 1-11. He consistently improved that program during his 4 years there.

One great season doesn't make it a top 5 program by any stretch of the imagination.
