[1013Hawk]

Per espn...

 

[ThunderHawk]

NO WAY! NOBODY COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING!!!

 

[Hawkize1]

Seriously??? Why???

 

[djwoody98]

His D couldn't stop the firing.

 

[imported_ankle23]

First three years of RRod at Michigan = 15-22.

First three years of Harbaugh at Stanford = 17-20.

 

[CardHawk43]

Stanfords season record before Harbaugh took over = 1-11

Michigans season record before RRod to over = 9-4

Interesting stat ankle. I guess now I know how to feel about his firing - if its bad for meatchicken then I'm for it.

good job card. There are bunches of stats that can be thrown around, I just thought the 1st three year comparison was interesting. Also, in his first year at Stanford, I believe he beat a highly ranked USC team (top 5, maybe 1). Has Rod beat a ranked team at all at Michigan?

Not excactly apples to apples. What Harbaugh has done at Stanford is nothing short of a miracle.

Coincidentally, same goes for Dick Rod.

different reputation, standards, etc.

Michigan has won the most games in cfb history, not nearly as difficult to sell to recruits.

The products are a little different

I agree. I have simply put up their 1st three seasons, and made no other commentary.

Ballgame.

Yeah, but wasn't there a ton of talent that graduated or went to the NFL from that 9-4 mich team?

true, but that team would have returned Mallett in addition to Brandon Graham and Morgan Trent amongst others.

I still can't believe he had a qb with Mallett's talent and insisted on the spread and defensively, the 3-3-5. arrogant a**

Not sure about that but according to Scout.com's ratings, Michigan had the #2, #9 and #10 ranked recruiting classes in '05, '06 and '07 respectively. Obviously that doesn't pertain to transfers however.

 

[deanvogs]

It was a year overdue, the firing that is. The hire was a terrible one to begin with. You don't bring a gimmick offense to Michigan, and ZERO defense. That sh!t may fly in the Big East, but not at Michigan.

Record against tOSU = 0-3
Record against MSU = 0-3

 

[imported_ankle23]

Record against tOSU = 0-3
Record against MSU = 0-3

and most importantly.....

record against Iowa......... hate to see him go....although if you believe kedlerberg he was going to dismantle the rest of the big ten next year.......
