I am not one to post, however I come to the site and fort a few times a day as I love Michigan like all of you. Most of my family still lives in Ann Arbor and I loved visiting my Grandma on Hoover Ave each Winter and Spring break. 2020 has been challenging and difficult and the teams performance this year has been disappointing to say the least. Some of this post will probably cross with many others but here goes.
I remember some of the Carr era, in particular the last few seasons. I was 14 for The Game in 2006 and that really propelled my understanding of that rivalry and hate for OSU. At that point I was starting to watch the games more frequently on my own. I bring this up to acknowledge that my understanding and passion for Michigan football grew during some of the most disappointing years. The Rich Rod and Hoke era's were beyond infuriating, but that is all I really knew. I just knew of mostly disappointment and watching our rivals beat us each year. I believe this is why it is difficult for me to move on from Jim Harbaugh.
While I do not feel he has delivered to expectations, his tenure and program has been the best I can remember. I know that is not the case for many of you.
After each disappointing loss this year and hearing of culture issues I think maybe it is time to move on. Then I think of how he has brought this program back to life. But maybe that's all we needed from Jim and its time to turn the page.
Changes obviously need to be made and I think there will be. If Jim is extended I wont be upset unless we don't see any significant changes. I want to win it all and I hope Jim leads us there. I think the 2021 class can be special and seems to have a tight bond. JJ seems to be that QB and leader we have been waiting for.
