Harbaugh as an underdog

I posted this in another thread, but thinking hard about it this morning.

I keep hearing that Harbaugh likes the role as underdog, but we are 0-4 during his tenure, with two blowouts (Yesterday and OSU 2015), one that was more on-sided than the score indicated (Utah 2015), and last year's OSU game. It's not a huge sample size, but troubling.

In the meantime, Urban is 6-0 at Ohio State and Dantonio is 15-13 since 2010 (one of the best ratios in the country).

What does this tell us? Is Harbaugh to stubborn to get creative with teams with better or equal talent? Is his mentality too "Bo" (you know what we are doing, try to stop it), which worked in the 70s, but won't work today?

Obviously, I think Harbaugh is the best man for the job, but troubled by our consistent inability to rise to the occasion. Searching for answers and would love to hear from those who have forgotten more football than I know.
