    Harbaugh is headed to Michigan. Curiosity compels me to ask this question.....kind of a trivia thing.

    Has there ever been a coach that was a success in college with one school.....like Harbaugh was at Stanford, then went to the NFL and was successful there....and then went back to college to also be a success there again? Just curious.

    A few names that could come to mind:

    Saban.....successful in college at MSU, LSU, Alabama.....but really failed as an NFL coach in his one effort at Miami.

    Spurrier.....more or less mimicked Saban.....good at two college spots....but lousy in the pros.

    Pete Carroll.....was really opposite.....initially a failure in the pros, then went to be successful in college and then in the pros.

    Dick Vermeil? Successful at UCLA, then at Philly then with the Rams after a long layoff.

    Can you think of anyone who has done what Harbaugh is purporting to do?

      It's yet to be seen if something as simple as a coaching change will be enough to turn around Michigan's floundering football program

      Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

        Here's another question: is a college head coaching gig as prestigious as an nfl one, or is harbaugh just admitting defeat by going back to school. Can't go home again, jim. Or maybe you can, who knows?

            Admitting defeat? He had the highest winning percentage in the nfl when he left, top 5 all time. He was in 3 straight NFC championships, including a super bowl... what are you taking about?

            If Harbaugh wanted to be in the NFL, he'd be in the NFL. He wanted to come home.

              It's not "something as simple as a coaching change". Coaches are more important than the program in college. How good was Bama before Saban? How was that one year at OSU between Tressel and Meyer?

              You act like the school and the program is up in flames, that's not correct at all. I've been over all of this before, but most on here refuse to listen. What was missing was a coach. Hoke was a great guy, but was in over his head. So we went out an got a coach, arguably the best coach.

                I think the only one that might fit the bill is Robinson. Good at USC, good with the Rams, good at USC again.

                Several on that list were mediocre at college....like Walsh...only 17-17.....Sherman only 25-25.

                  Lol ok. Pat shurmur could've coached that team to a Super Bowl WIN, not just one appearance with a loss. He bolted as soon as things got tough.

                    Uummm.... Look at 49ers before Harbaugh and after Harbaugh. I realize you're an OSU fan, and you're trying to discredit Michigan however you can, but don't be an idiot. He built that team up, it was not very good before then.

                      And it's not a very good team that he's leaving.

                      As soon as he figured out Colin Kap was extremely overrated and his team wasn't good anymore, he bolted

                          Uuhh, this is getting a little pathetic. Yes, that team that went 8-8 after going to three straight NFC title games isn't very good...

                          Look, this s already getting old. The "Harbaugh Sucks" angle. He bolted from the NFL because he couldn't handle it, there totally weren't a handful of NFL teams that would be happy to have him

                          Best of luck going forward. The Game will be very exciting going forward.

                          Lets just hope our terrible, NFL bolting coach is half as good as the great Urban Meyer...

                            I'm glad Michigan may return to some semblance of relevance. They still suck donkey balls but good for them they got themselves a known pissy bitch for a coach.

                              Everyone knows urban Meyer is a great college coach. Why Harbaugh lost the "great" team he had and left the NFL with his tail between his legs is yet to be determined but one thing is for sure. He lost the team.

                                  Harbaugh the best coach? lol

                                  What is his record again?

                                  How many championships has he won at any level? How many Bowl Games with Andrew Luck?

                                  A supposed QB guru who dumped Alex Smith in favor of Colin Kapernick lol

                                    And everyone knows Benedict Meyer wants to model OSU after an SEC program.. He said so tonight .. He doesn't hide his goal...

                                    Yet there is an SEC bias.. 😁😆

                                      Harbaugh the best coach? lol

                                      What is his record again?

                                      How many championships has he won at any level? How many Bowl Games with Andrew Luck?

                                      A supposed QB guru who dumped Alex Smith in favor of Colin Kapernick lol

                                      Ahhhh, the trolls. The OSU trolls.... Now you guys just sound worried. Knocking Harbaughs choice to dump Smith even though it led to him having the 5th highest winning percentage in the NFL all time.

                                      Fuck it. Best of luck with your coach. I'm ecstatic about ours. Keep on trolling, it shows you're worried.

                                          Where the fuck do you think you're posting? We're ohio, genius. We both hate Michigan and coaches called harbaugh. If you want someone to gargle Harbaughs nutsack with you I'm sure they'll do it on the Detroit Lions forum.
