the argument that current players are getting punished for past teams' wrong doings is totally invalid IMHO in the transfer portal era. If players want to play in the postseason, they can transfer to another school with no penalty, so how are they being harmed?

 A multi-year bowl ban would possibly have gutted UM's team of any halfway decent players as many would flee the sinking ship, which also seems like a fitting punishment. Another benefit of a bowl ban is that the rest of the college football world wouldn't have to hear Gus, Joel and the rest of the TV shills blather on about UM football after late November, which makes bowl season much more enjoyable for all involved 😎

I like how you're spinning that.  He was almost run out of town a few years ago. As I recall, he had to take a pay cut.  Then the cheating started, and suddenly Michigan is on top.  Now it's "he was always going back to the NFL", nothing to do with the heat from the fallout. 
there is no spinning anything, genius. two things can be true. yes, he was almost run out of town a few years back during the weird ass COVID year when Joe Milton was his handpicked QB of the future and his team went 2-4 and he was forced to take a pay cut.

And yes, he has said out of his own mouth a hundred thousand fucking times that his dream in life was to coach in the Super Bowl again and win this time. It's not exactly a secret.

He was always going to go back to the NFL the minute he could/felt it made the most sense for him. He almost left for the NFL in 2017 after he turned the program around in a huge way after his first two seasons but decided to stay out of loyalty/affinity to the school. He was never going to be a Michigan lifer like Bo Schembechler or Lloyd Carr. The NFL was always on his mind- why do you think he interviewed with NFL teams almost every fucking off-season genius?

Why does every fourth word need to be profanity?  It's a mark of immaturity IMHO.

And I certainly recall you on here talking all the time about "Jeem", and how he was either retarded or autistic.  Certainly not singing his praises about being the best coach 3-4 years ago.  Certainly not after TCU stomped them in the previous years playoff.
a) the dude is batshit crazy- he is definitely highly autistic or slightly retarded. he will ALWAYS be Jeem to me.

b) look at his resume. everywhere he's been- from small-ball conference at San Diego State, taking over the worst program in the P5 at Stanford, 49ers, Michigan, and now Chargers and taking them to playoffs in Year 1. his track record of turn arounds and winning speaks for itself. cannot stand his weird ass personality- he kind of freaks me out- or his god awful passing offenses- but the guy is a HELL of a football coach and anyone who denies this is well, a moron.

c) TCU didn't stomp Michigan, they won by 6 points. Hardly a "stomping". And A LOT of shit went wrong for Michigan for that to happen. Roman Wilson TD that was a TD gets over turned and JJ fumbles the ball at the 1 yard line when Michigan is about to score. JJ McCarthy throwing two inexplicable pick 6's right to TCU defenders. Or CB DJ Turner completely whiffing on what should've been a routine tackle on 3rd down during a cover 0 blitz off a quick pass to Quentin Johnston which would've forced a 4th down and likely punt and gotten Michigan the ball back- only for Turner to try to arm tackle a guy much bigger than him and eat turf and Johnston to go 60 yards after the catch for a TD because no safety was behind playing deep because of an all-out blitz.

that's football though. shit happens.

It was a stompin' because Mich was HEAVILY favored, and TCU was way up on them at one point.  Mich made a run at the end.

Urban-Colin great points @2:48 regarding the scandal URBZ on knowing plays eliminates time spent analizing on how to recognize tendencies and read the field.Also  @11:14 URBZ chimes in how Jeremiah Smith had advantages last year that neccesariy may not be there this season. he goe on to cite
1)A running QB
2) A strong run game
3) Another strong Wide out Emeka Egbuka
IMO Junior Carnell Tate from what I've seen will suffice just fine

Urbz is a football genius. but I don't really care to hear the scumbag talk about integrity or morality to be honest.

Jeremiah Smith is going to be just fine. I thought Marvin Harrison Jr was the best WR in the college game I had seen in probably a decade or so. And then this mutant freak of nature comes along right after him. Ohio State insane run of WR's is just flat out gnarly and unlike anything I have ever seen in the sport. Here's to hoping it ends with Jeremiah Smith. Brian Hartline needs a head coaching job at Toledo or something right about now.

Obviously like Sonny Dykes getting tipped off about the advanced scouting changed all the plays/signs - in 3 weeks.As Michigan was advance scounting Clemson and Georgia. Never factoring in that Clemson would lose to Tennessee allowing TCU in thru the back door.

I'm with Mdot on that. I never thought Harbaugh would be a UM lifer. 

If for no other reason than that the crazy bastard rubs people the wrong way, and so after a certain number of years anywhere, it builds up to the point people want to get rid of him! :57:

After all, he was successful in San Francisco, but he'd clearly worn out his welcome by that point. 

I think once he won the NC, *and* all that heat was coming down on him, he wanted to get out while the gettin' was good.

multiple things can be true at once. 

Jeem always had his eyes set on the NFL- it was a matter of if not when. He's always been open about it. It was not exactly a secret. 

Jeem is a crazy bastard who rubs people the wrong way. Jeem is a hell of a football coach. And Jeem did bail when the heat was coming down on him and he got a great opportunity in the NFL. Chargers let him pick the GM and he has front office control, a stud young QB in Justin Herbert already in place- most important piece in the NFL game period is QB- and he's already got one- doesn't have to go out and find one. And oh yeah they are paying him $16 million a year.
