1. Michigan fans are still looking at Harbaugh

Everywhere Jim Harbaugh has coached, he has made an immediate change in the culture and ultimately they start winning: San Diego State, Stanford, San Francisco (NFL) and Michigan.  He won and his currently winning, but honeymoons don’t last. Harbaugh is 24-7 overall and has gotten his team to a bowl game both full years during this tenure in Michigan (he is currently in his third season).

His team was 6-2 in 2015, but losses to Michigan State and Ohio State soured the success. In 2016, the Wolverines had a conference record of 7-2, but a huge loss to Ohio State at the end of the season put a slight diaper on the team’s success. On a positive note they knocked off Michigan State last season, but in his first two seasons against teams major rivals he was 1-3. It takes time to right the ship, but when you win people expect it come to fruition a lot faster.

Two 10-win seasons are nothing to sneeze at, but after losing to Michigan State at home last Saturday, Michigan twitter was pretty pissed off, maybe irrational, but it happened and now a 27-20 win in overtime against Indiana may have added gasoline.
