It doesn't matter who coaches here. The beatdowns will continue. Michigan has the resources to compete with Ohio State, Bama etc, but they never will becuz of fake morality bs arguments which mask what's really going on: Our rich higher-ups don't care about football as much as the rich higher-ups of Ohio State, Bama, etc. And as long as that's the case it largely doesn't matter who's coaching Michigan. Judging by recruiting--which is 95% of what matters in college football--Harbaugh is now coaching at replacement level. Using baseball terminology, Harbaugh has a WAR of zero. Translation: he is recruiting at a top 15 level, and if Michigan brought in ANY coach in America he at least could do the same exact thing. The Michigan brand alone will get anyone that far.
Harbaugh at this point brings in zero value, in fact negative value when you factor in his horrible in game decisions--especially his crippling weak-tight strategy in big games--and the fact that he will say incredibly stupid/offensive things from time to time. If I were an Ohio State fan I would want him around forever. Every dumb thing he says hurts the Michigan brand, and it's still possible for Michigan to luckbox into a coach with a WAR above zero which could result in an occasional upset vs Ohio State--the overall theme would be the same tho, Ohio State will dominate because they want it more.
