So they found their next Michigan man. I really hope that he does well in this job as I'm sick of always hearing how it has to be a true blue Michigan man for the job.  I'm a state fan myself but the news here seems to bleed blue and yellow.

UM got the best coach available, regardless of where he's from.  He's won every place he's been at.

He was mentioned as a possible head coach for the Chicago Bears but maybe taking the UM job will mean he no longer has to deal with the fragile egos of pro players. 

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds.

He left the 49ers because General Manager Trent Baalke and owner Jed York decided they knew better than Harbaugh, not because of the players' egos.

Jim Harbaugh in Ann Arbor, Jed York on the radio: I don’t know how 49ers management can keep making it worse, but…

Quote
–York and Baalke are trying to suggest Jim Harbaugh was the guy who liked shaky characters. You’ll buy that only if you haven’t paid attention.

York mentioned accountability upteen times yesterday and somehow it’s always the fault of the guy 49ers management pushed out, which is nothing if not convenient.

The gist of what Baalke said: 1) He has full roster power; 2) Harbaugh never questioned it; 3) But nothing’s Baalke’s fault.

Reflecting on Jim Harbaugh's tenure: Why firing the 49ers head coach is a massive mistake

Quote
With things falling apart around them, players have continuously come to Harbaugh’s defense. Anquan Boldin, Alex Boone, Antoine Bethea, Michael Crabtree, Colin Kaepernick, NaVorro Bowman, Patrick Willis, Vernon Davis, Michael Wilhoite, and Jonathan Martin have all made public, on-the-record comments in support of Harbaugh at various points in the past 11 months. While they certainly don’t have any incentive to say otherwise, you’d think they’d take a more neutral stance if there was truly the amount of dysfunction present that’s being portrayed in the media.

Was more a statement of pampered professional players then it was against the 49ers.  Hope Harbaugh succeeds at UM but if he doesn't I am sure there will be a head coaching job again in the pros for him.

Really? Super bowls? No. In college not so much. No big prize yet. Unlike his brother.

If there was a better coach available, please name that person.

 All things equal they could have done worse. But, in a few years, he will rat out and chase that super bowl his brother has won.
