Harbaugh isn't the QB whisperer he was made out to be

[Spartan4ever]

Good read, and one that should be passed along to McCulley if he's considering Michigan.

Patterson looked pretty damn good against us last year.

Patterson was a proven QB at Ole Miss.

With a new OC at Michigan, it took a while to get that offense going. But once it did, it was pretty good.

I really enjoyed the read. Something very similar has happened over at Ohio State. They just don't developed professional quarterbacks. I think it's because their system it too run oriented, don't get me wrong their QBs look great against the B1G but rarely are they successful at the next level.

The first several weeks of the last season, the Michigan Offense was a train wreck. I remember watching their game against Navy that went into overtime and how futile the Offense looked.

In 2018, I spent 2 and a half months of the Fall in the Hospital. and probably watched more football than anyone other than Coaches, Scouts, and Analysts. Even then, I didn't get the hype over Patterson. He didn't seem to throw the ball effectively unless he was on the run and seemed to have "Happy Feet" with no consistent motion or release point.

I think Harbaugh does fine as a coach.

He just talks too much.

He is struggling against OSU, PSU, and MSU so I don't think he is doing fine. His talent level lets UM beat teams that aren't elite and IU has taken UM to the brink 3 out of 4 years.

Winning in college vs pros is vastly different. In the pros it's all about the vertical passing game along with line play. In college, line play is still very important, but most offenses simply try to out athlete defenses. The NFL is taking notice in that approach slowly but surely, but even the dual threat guys still need a big arm to succeed.

Mike Hart was dead on with his comment.

State has won 8 out of the last 12 games.

So what? Purdue has beaten us like a drum in basketball the last few years.

It hasn't changed their inferiority complex one bit.

I missed it - what was Hart’s comment?

Before a UM-MSU game, he said MSU was UM's little brother.

And then promptly got his a## beat.

You can't spell Jim without 3 L's. UM isn't a national championship contender under Jim, and Jim has never beat (and may never beat) OSU. Jim does talk a lot and hasn't backed it up with results. One can make the argument that Jim should be fired.

You are incorrect on several parts of your assertion.

Mike Hart never lost to MSU during his 4 year career at Michigan. His “little brother” comment came after the 2007 game (Hart’s senior season) when Michigan scored 2TDs in the last 7 minutes to beat Michigan St 28-24.

Often overlooked in the history of the “little brother” comment was that it was an MSU player who -before that game- said MSU needed to stop playing like “little brother”. Hence, Hart’s comment after a reporter asked him after the ‘07 game if he thought MSU was “little brother”. “Yup” he said laughing and then continuing “if that’s what they call themselves then why shouldn’t I.” At that time, Michigan had won 6 in a row and 7 of 8, the loss being the “Spartan Bob” game that resulted in the B10 changing rules about the assignment of clock operations.

Michigan St.’s steak of victories in the series began the following year when Rich Rodriguez took over in A2.

Thanks for the correction.

I have no affection whatsoever for UM, but I will take that program all day long over the criminal-enabling nonsense that has gone on in East Lansing the last several years.

Jimmy is in a 3 way tie for "Most Overrated Coach On the Planet" title...

Frost of Nebraska is right there with him and you can guess the 3rd name without much effort ...

Would his name start with a 'B', end with an 'M'? A BM at PU?

No argument from me. I hate both.
