I’ll preface by saying I really have no idea if this thought process has any merit at all. I have no UM fans to talk to and family is tired of listening haha!
• could it be that dominant college programs like Alabama, Clemson, LSU , OSU (and others who used to be like USC and Texas) are the exact opposite of what certain powers @ UM want?
• Are there factors that a UM coach has to deal with that very few other P5 schools have to - and ones that have changed since JH took charge? I’m thinking this may in part affect JH’a lack of obvious fire that we’ve all lamented.
• when Bo was here - and that was our glory years make no mistake about it - he WAS the face of the university, along with the team. I get the vibes that few powers-that-be ever want to go back that to that again.
• the teams that dominate now all deal with a different set of values and social expectations that in some ways mirror the societal whirlwind our country is facing - and I am not trying to provide any political statement here at all - just something is definitely amiss at UM when it comes to competing for championships in this current state of college football and if we got rid of Harbaugh I see very little chance our beloved school would ever find anyone who would do better - mainly because of this ambiguous Michigan culture that I have failed to clearly identify.
Anyone else have similar feelings? I’m a father of four and a teacher and coach so I’m used to feeling like an idiot...
