He has not won their division and obviously has not made the B10 championship. He is in his third year. How long does he have before he is in trouble?

That's the downside to the huge salaries, I don't feel bad for him.
The problem is, he's got as long as he needs. If they fire him, they literally cannot upgrade. Doesn't matter though, he's gone 9-3 and 10-2, and probably will again this year. He didn't win big at Stanford until year 4. Just like anybody else, he's got to find a quarterback that isn't pure crap. I imagine he will find a way to beat Ohio State this year anyway and all will be well.
His seat is surprisingly cool given his performance. Brady Hoke had the same overall record through 31 games, and one more win vs. MSU/OSU. I still think Harbaugh will get them rolling, but I feel like Michigan and their fanbase just assumed right off they'd hit the homerun of the century with him, and still haven't considered the possibility that it might not happen.
Very misleading. There is a dirty little secret about Michigan that no one wants to discuss, and that is that Rich Rod actually had them primed for success there. Hoke made a living off RR's recruiting. Problem for Michigan is that they freaked out due to lowly Moo State blowing them off the field. Now Harbaugh is digging them out of Hoke's lack of recruiting.Quote:

Rich Rod was dead man walking before that bowl game vs us. Michigan's defense was atrocious under Rodriguez.Quote:

Now if a dynamic arose where say OSU and PSU were consistently 1 and 2 in the conference, and Michigan was getting to 9-3 and 10-2 by consistently being the 3rd or 4th best team in the conference, that might change. But if there is shuffling at the top and he's not just getting dominated year in and out by the same two coaches, he's probably ok.Quote:

But in regard to an earlier post, I don't see Harbaugh as a "home run hire". He's a pretty good coach, but not great in my opinion.
Just give him time, Michigan will once again return to glory
If he's on pace to get 29-30 wins in three years, Hoke seems to have done okay in the recruiting realm.Quote:

I've been a State supporter for a long time, and would like to see us get back to Atlanta some day before I'm too old to go. Right now, I don't see it happening.
So far their recruiting seems to be kinda, meh.
Tough critic. Last year was Harbaugh?s first full recruiting class and it was #5 in the countryQuote:

Well it's a good thing you've set completely realistic expectations for Mullen.Quote:

I too am down on Mullen for having the worst winning percentage in the history of football vs top 15 teams but at the same time I am very grateful for Mullen having something like an .800% winning percentage vs teams he is favored over. The good Dan has done here far outweighs the bad record vs top teams. We can name a whole bunch more positives than the few negatives we can nitpick.Quote:
