In a matter of 10 months Michigan went from Shane Morris, a talented but thus far underachieving QB, Wilton Speight and one incoming freshman, Alex Malzone to having two transfer, upperclass QBs; an additional freshman QB of some reputation; two QB commitments for 2016; and now an intriguing walk-on. Talk about identifying a weakness on the team and fixing it with an enthusiasm-unknown-to-man.
Harbaugh seems to have an eye for identifying a problem (QB shortages; a faltering UM national brand; need for more bodies period; need for higher quality, depth of coaching staff; etc.) and getting after the problem in creative ways (finding older, heralded transfers; satellite camps to address national exposure and branding; preferred walk-ons that are hand-picked; etc.) One item that I think has largely gone unnoticed is how deep Harbaugh has made this coaching staff. We have Erik Campbell working as an assistant football operations guy, the same man who coached arguably the best WRs UM has ever had (Edwards, Terrell, Walker, Manningham, Breaston, etc.) When you have that sort of depth on your staff, you have many hands and eyes on the challenge of growing a championship team. I have little doubt the wins will continue coming under this sort of creative, innovative, can-do leadership.
