At least Alaska Dawg is posting football content. But it is all so pro-Washingon. I would not dream of going on another team's board and posting a bunch of pro-RU stuff. But have to admire his fandom and wanting to stir it up with our fans. It would be fabulous if RU fans get the last laugh and put the Huskies in the dawg pound on September 3.
Michigan is in the B1G East, Washington is next on Rutgers schedule, and Tennessee was just part of the article.
And some here root against Tennessee because a certain QB recruit snubbed us and went to Tennessee.
I figure by posting here I'm helping to expand this boards footprint to the west coast. :americanflag:
H arbaugh may have the biggest reputation but IMO Chris Petersen is as good or even better as a Coach.I wonder if JH would even be known if he had started off at Boise.
Michigan and Tennessee have a recruiting advantage over Washington so they have that going for them. Stability wise I'd have to say Petersen sticks around the longest. Harbaugh started coaching at San Diego St. and went to Stanford soon afterwards. He's never won a college football conference title but he did win the NFC West while coaching the Niners.
Is San Diego (NOT San Diego State) a better program than Boise State?
He's making mega bucks at Michigan so I don't see him leaving there anytime soon ... unless he has another one of his meltdowns.
In all fairness, a lot of people said the same thing about Urban. This will be his 5th year at Ohio State, which almost matches his tenure at Florida. I do think it's different when it's your home team.
If he gets Michigan legitimately into the national title picture, someone in the league will come in and offer super mega bucks. He may or may not take it, but the money will be there if he wants it.
Harbaugh is a hot headed wingnut who rubs people the wrong way, but the circumstances at San Francisco were all but impossible with the current owner and GM calling the shots.
Agreed although Washington has the better recruiting class for '17 atm. Petersen is grabbing California kids that USC and UCLA were recruiting heavy.
I think this is moot. Neither program is winning with in-state recruits.
Makes total sense. Southern Gentleman became a real asset to the board for the Arkansas game/series. Alaska_Dawg is more than welcome by me and I'm sure Rutgers will become his B1G team as well. Plus this is an awesome board.
Washington and Michigan had some pretty good Rose Bowl games vs each other when Don James and Bo Schembechler were coaching. Those two teams met up in the Rose Bowl in the late 70's, twice in 80's and twice in the early 90's during their coaching careers.
Hopefully he doesn't lose his cool when Washington crushes Michigan in the Rose Bowl.He's also never left a coaching job early. You're talking about a guy who grew up not only in Ann Arbor, but with a dad coaching for UM and around the program and on the field for most games as a kid. That sticks with you. So much so that he was instantly committed to play there as well.
He was not going to get offered the Michigan job in 2007 over Rich Rod considering all he had was 3 years at a FCS school. Stanford was willing to take him and he did great. When his contract with Stanford was up and Michigan fired Rodriguez that was the first stirrings of "WE SHOULD GET HARBAUGH". He ended up choosing to coach in the NFL and did that well, too. Then after being forced out by awful management it happened to align with Michigan firing Hoke. All we heard was how Harbaugh isn't leaving the NFL, how he's determined to win a Super Bowl, how his family loves California and will not move to Michigan etc. only to have him in Michigan seemingly enjoying coaching more than ever. Don't forget he actually took LESS money than what Michigan offered to come here so they could pay for good assistant coaches as well. He also could have had any open head coaching job in the country that he wanted college or pro. He's completely revitalized the program and quite frankly the school and has done more in 1 season than Hoke and Rodriguez did in their 7 seasons combined.
"There are no turnarounds at Michigan. This is greatness. Long tradition of it."
"Throughout my life I have dreamed of coaching at the University of Michigan".
His previous stops were opportunities he took. He has not had any sort of connection to any of his previous coaching stops as he does to Michigan. Bo Schembechler meant so much to Harbaugh. I think Harbaugh leaving a legacy at Michigan that can be put up there with the likes of Fielding Yost and Bo is truly something he wants to do. Could he outwear his welcome? Only time will tell. But as long as he's winning people won't care and I think it's "crazy talk" to imply Harbaugh will leave prior to his contract (7 years) or that if he does leave it will be on his own accord. If anything he just can't get it done and leaves/gets fired which I don't see happening.

So Rutgers would be " the Bigfoot of the East ". Will it help recruiting ?
California is loaded with top of the line recruits ... just ask Harbaugh and Meyer .. those two have poached some good ones out of there.
There's a reason Harbaugh has been pulling all those stunts ...it gets him and Michigan in the press which helps in recruiting. Harbaugh wanted to fill up the recruiting pipeline in no time flat so he could start competing with the likes of Ohio St. and Michigan St. as soon as possible and he's done that.
