....of success while at Michigan.
My guess is his overall success will lie closer to Fisher, but his numbers versus rival may fall more in line with Richt (5-10 versus Florida).
Fisher has a national title under his belt, but he didn't go through Alabama. Auburn sneaked through at home on the kick six in 2013 and subsequently the Tigers lost to FSU for the title. Sadly, I don't see Harbaugh beating Alabama (such as Ohio State or Clemson) to win a title. Someone else will have to do the dirty work. That is how Fisher was able to win his in 2013. Fisher has several inexplicable losses on his resume that Harbaugh is currently emulating. I do think Jim will have a similar peak around 2018-2020 as Jimbo did from 2012-2014, but I would venture to guess three loss seasons will be as common as those years with two or less.
Those are still very good results, but I would say that back in December 2014 I expected Harbaugh's overall mark to be a a notch above and be close to Jim Tressel type of results (not domination of rivals, but overall wins and losses). So in that regard it is slightly disappointing at the moment.
