Not winning a road game since 2021 was more than enough reason to fire Jimbo.
I pictured Nikolai Volkoff talking to Mean Gene while I read this.OKC~Ag said:
Jim Harbaugh won every where at all level including NFL...
This guy is near same level as saban
Not many coaches are near saban level but Jim Harbaugh come close.
JF is now revealed as clown who won MNC similar to other clown coaches like one and done coach at Auburn
Chizik although, Chizik is not a clown...but Orgeron is a clown. But Orgeron beat us bunch of time so...i guess JF is the only real clown MNC winning coach meaning he won due to a$$ effing luck.

Keep rationalizing a less than thought out firing and hope you're right. It will help you sleep easier the next 6 years while we miss the playoffs Jimbo would have easily gotten us into next year.
I agree, but we have only won 10 games once in the last 25 years and we haven't ever fired a coach that was going to win championships.2thFixinAg said:
natty or bust is a good way to constantly bust.
Ive always thought that the goal should be consistently winning 10 games. If do that then championships will eventually occur.
greg.w.h said:I think Harbaugh was working with a more favorable situation in recruiting to Michigan and he definitely won more than Jimbo and was still on the hot seat with their fans.2thFixinAg said:

But changing coaches every three years if you don't get ten wins once is Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies.
Every time someone posts one of these nonsense threads about keeping Jimbo, they leave out the records and/or progress of the other coaches vs Jimbo. In every case those other coaches were WINNING but just falling short, or bringing a program back from the dead (Bowden). Jimbo was doing neither.agchugger said:
You seem to have conveniently left out his record when trying to make your point. He was 49-22 in those first 6 seasons. 3 10-win seasons, 1-9 win seaons, an 8 win and then a mediocre COVID year. Yes, he couldn't beat OSU but he was winning at a high pace.
Imagine running a program where blatant disregard for team policies were allowedKraft Punk said:
Harbaugh is smart & adapted
Jimbo is a dumb**** that benched a good player bc he wore sleeves
So you're say he couldn't...find the inches?VP at Pierce and Pierce said:Jimbo was always a few plays away from 10-2 or 11-1 yet showed zero signs of adapting his philosophy to finding those plays. Jimbo was too stubborn to say the least, offensive scheme was out of date, micromanaging every aspect while letting things like special teams, player development, and strength & conditioning become obsolete are signs of coach that was out of touch. He ran everything like he did in 2013 at FSU yet it was 2023 at Texas A&M and the game had changed drastically. He was not going to overhaul is coaches, S&C, and front office at this point. People in the know knew he was changing so the change was made.agINbj2000 said:
I have always said to give him one more year…donot know all the circumstances with his firing but team was a few plays away from something good
Stephen McGee's press conference after the tu win when Fran resigned would like a word with you.JROD9398 said:
If you watched Michigan / Penn State this year (suspension game for JH), you'll see the players post-game talk about winning for the Coach and U of M. Maize and Blue. More of the same last night...those players were playing for U of M and JH. Never seen an Aggie team play that way / talk like that for Jimbo / Sumlin / Fran / Sherman. Possibly RC in '98 (D. Campbell, D. Nguyen, R. Coady).
Those players were on a mission for sure - they could have gone full transfer portal last year, but didn't. That's on the coach. Jim Harbaugh made that happen. Forget how challenging the conference is or not, or how evil the media is, that adversity along with Jim H. resulted in last night's victory.
I'd kill to have that...
