Classy comment about Jim Harbaugh from none other that Mr. Dorsey. Classy mod!
QUOTE="Matt Dorsey, post: 236355, member: 40"]Jim Harbaugh will be gold for the media....UM is a pressure cooker unlike just about anyplace else and Harbaugh is a guy who does not like to be questioned. He has coached at places where the expectations were not very high (USD, Stanford and even SF).
Before he came to Stanford an 8 win season was seen as great. So he could do no wrong there...or we could say Andrew Luck could do no wrong.Then he goes to an under-achieving 49ers program and wins. Now once the expectations came and the team did not produce....TROUBLE. Harbaugh is a good coach, but I have a STRONG feeling he does not take criticism well.
The expectations at UM will always be 10 wins. Think about it, how long did it take the shine to come off Brady Hoke's 11 win season? The expectations for Harbaugh will be much higher than Hoke. Consider this, Harbaugh gets MSU and OSU at home this year. What if he loses both and then has to go and play both in 2016 on the road and with a likely new starter at QB.
Did anyone watch the post game of the world cup last night when a media person asked Jill Ellis how she felt about the USA benefiting from 2 bad calls by officials. She skimmed over it. Imagine if that was Harbaugh? He would have a response that would make Dennis Green and Mike Gundy seem tame.
This is just the beginning...Look at his twitter. He could not let the interview fiasco die. He certainly could not say "My bad, we will do better next time, look forward to talking again. Love your show."
This is going to be so much fun. Also consider if he DOES not have success at UM. His departure will get as ugly as can be and you know he will throw A TON of people inside UM under the bus. A lot of people inside UM are praying he has success because the alternative will be complete FUBAR.[/QUOTE]
