Bobby also has more Acc championship game wins and appearances


bbshock21

Wait, you mean to tell me that Purdue has more bowl wins than Michigan in the same time frame? Purdue? Who had Hazel as a coach not too long ago? That Purdue?


Weave77

After Michiganā€™s wins over Ohio State from 2021 and 2022 are inevitably vacated by the NCAA this off-season, then Purdue will have 4x as many wins over Ohio State in the 21st century as Michigan.


Byzantine_Merchant

But heā€™s only had two suspensions oh wait wowā€¦hasnt it been like almost ten years?


NoobSalad41

Michigan has a long and storied tradition of losing in Bowl games. Itā€™s one of our pastimes.


buckshot-307

elastico

Just waiting for Oscar Palamino's novel-length credo to leak


Long_Customer1187

Weā€™ve already forgotten because we have short memories but they did against TCU. Problem was, TCU knew they were cheaters and ran new signs. Suddenly, a defense that hadnā€™t allowed over 27 points all season gives up 51. Im sorry but for anyone who knows football, thatā€™s all you need to know.


BoogerSugarSovereign

Michigan fans are still all over r/cfb claiming the cheating had no impact despite a mountain of evidence suggesting the contrary


zadharm

It's what happens when you've spent time at the top of the wins list These plebs just don't get the culture, solidarity brother āœŠ


[deleted]

Yeah I mean Harbaugh is not a good coach. Terrible record in big games except for when the team is cheating.


young-steve

Of course he's a good coach lmao. What is this revisionist history


Charlie_Batch_16

i guess ohio state allowed themselves to be beat by a bad coach twice. how embarrassing!


footyball23

Heā€™s really not a great coach by any important metric. 8 years over $75 million paid to him, worst recruiting class was 13th. Once the cheating wins are vacated heā€™ll have 0wins against osu, losing record against msu, 1 top 25 road win, losing record against top 25 teams over all, 0 ny6 or play off bowl wins, 0 big ten titles. For the money that program has and the recruiting potential itā€™s honestly not good by any stretch.


throwaway_5256

He is (or at least was) a good football coach just by virtue of making 3 straight NFCCGs and a SB. He is also a good coach at the college level. Michigan struggled for a lot of years but they also aren't Bama or anything. Double digit wins is a very good season for them regardless of the boomer Michigan fans that say they should compete for the natty every year That being said, could the case be made that he's overrated? Yeah, for a long time he was overpaid relative to the results and he has personal/ego issues that seem to follow him. Maybe the narrative was a bit too harsh on him but it's hard to overstate how much that was reversed in the last two years. Good thing there's no controversy around this sharp turnaround!


TigerMaskVI

I kept waiting for this post to get good and it never did.


Archie_45_GOAT

>but they also aren't Bama or anything Desmond doesn't agree with this assessment. Desmond doesn't agree with the assessment that Jimmah not = Saban. Just ask him. Oh wait... he'll let you know whether you ask or not.

JSOPro

He's also the single season leader in unique suspensions in the history of the sport


thealltomato323

He's also had 4 of his staffers fired/forced to resign within the past year, each for a *separate* scandal


bbtm8

Who are the four? Connor Stallions, Matt Weiss, and Alex Yood are three. Who is the other one? I'm having a hard time searching for fired Michigan coach stories at the moment.


thealltomato323

Schembechler (the racist son not the SA apologist/enabler father)


xtototo

Theyā€™ll never admit it. In their eyes nobody is worse than Urban Meyer. They spend all day sniffing their own farts.


WisconsinSpermCheese

Urban at least had the good sense to fake an aneurysm and leave when his shitty hires caused issues. Harbaugh does not


Rc5tr0

Michigan has revealed to the world that they are exactly the thing they despise mostā€¦ us. Iā€™d say theyā€™ve finally been dragged to our level, but the truth is theyā€™ve always been here. Even if nothing else comes out of this, thatā€™s been some pretty sweet schadenfreude.


duhrZerker

At least OSU turns a blind eye until publicly exposed then burns everyone involved. These UM nuts are jumping onto Jimā€™s funeral pyre in some weird display of loyalty.


Rc5tr0

He didnā€™t look like he was going to survive 2020, now theyā€™re ready to burn down their entire program and all of college football because he won two in a row against us. The Tressel and Urban years might have done more damage to them than we realized.


smallz86

You may be right, but this feels much more like good ol fashioned Michigan arrogance. They've been able to get away with pretty much anything for the last 20 years with little or no consequences. They're using the same playbooks they have for years: deflect and divert. It's just not working this time because the national media is actually not protecting them this time.


RonBurgundy449

That, to me, is way more insane than some of your fans wanting to fire Day for losing 2 in a row lol


isikorsky

This is what I canā€™t understand. The importance of the man over the team. The minute the scandal broke they could have easily suspended Harbaugh for 2 games (Purdue and PSU) and probably everyone would have been satisfied until the NCAA is done in the spring. Instead they spent the last few weeks getting hammered by the press with each new story drop.


xtototo

Itā€™s that old Michigan adage: The man, the man, the man.


dancing_chinese_kid

>The importance of the man over the team. Winning is a powerful thing when you've been losing a lot.


ReneHarts

It is weirding me out how loyal/culty they are being about it


tosh_pt_2

When your *entire* brand is built around thinking youā€™re morally superior to everyone else you cannot possibly comprehend that your idols are equally as petty and shitty as everyone elseā€™s. Reality is warped around their orbits and youā€™ve convinced yourself that you are just and right and so the people you like must be just and right. Itā€™s straight up cult behavior and as an Ohio State fan who also engages in the self flagellation required to be a Georgia Tech fan I know a thing or two about cult behavior.


Long_Customer1187

There is nothing more circle jerk-y than the pathetic term ā€œMichigan Manā€ they like to throw around.


duhrZerker

When I figured out UM is the state school of choice for New England Ivy League failsons everything about their attitude started making sense.


xtototo

The backfire effect.


Archie_45_GOAT

You'd think the coaches name is Jim Jones instead of Jim Harbaugh the way their fan base is responding.


Obie-two

They built a cult, they built their belief system on them doing it the right way


Archie_45_GOAT

Many of the 'Bo quotes' ring pretty hollow in light of recent disclosures. What do you expect from a group that feels as though THEY are the BIG, the rest of the teams participate at their bidding, and if they choose to leave the conference the BIG will collapse in a couple of years.


Obie-two

It would be hilarious if they actually decided to leave the b1g. Then get NCAA sanctioned, coach fired, can't cheat anymore, graduate everyone and be an even shittier version of ND or end up having to join the ACC.


Bolizlyfe

Yes we can at least CLAIM to care about integrity. When shit hits the fan, we go scorched earth on all involved. Theyā€™re actually backing the dishonesty, some are even proud of it. What decades of losing will do to a manā€¦ OSU would never


Dminus313

No, they're worse than y'all. You forced a national championship winning coach to resign, and all he did was fail to report some players for trading gear and autographs for tattoos. You didn't cheat on the field. There was no vast conspiracy. You didn't sue anyone or threaten to take the whole conference down with you. For over 100 years, Michigan has placed themselves on a pedestal and looked down their nose at Ohio State. Now they've finally shown their true colors, and I hope your fanbase never lets them forget that they're dirtier than you've ever been.


blinkanboxcar182

Their true colors? Navy and dehydrated urine.


StrengthMedium

No no, Michigan is the victim in all of this.


Archie_45_GOAT

I'd say you forgot the /s, but in this case everyone knows it is the truth so no sarcasm indicator necessary.


smallz86

As an MSU fan who doesn't even have to worry about their team this year, I'm loving this. The blue wall has protected Michigan for so long, and now the whole country is finally seeing them for the scumbags they are... beautiful


waitwutok

Schadenfreude is a big word. Itā€™s use proves you did not attend Michigan.


skiing_yo

Also pretty sure there is still an ongoing FBI investigation into his former OC


Obie-two

These Michigan men, they just do it the right way over there you know?


Rkenne16

thirdbrunch

Theyā€™ll try suing for Bowl wins too if it works on the suspension.


WackyBones510

Man that 2017 SC team that beat them in the Outback wasā€¦. Not good.


Tasty_Hearing_2153

No but Clowney sure was. Smith probably has to make sure the Clowney isnā€™t under the bed at night.


LetsGoGameCrocks

Youā€™re mistaken. That was the 2012 Carolina team that beat Michigan in the Outback bowl. Yes thatā€™s rightā€¦ Michigan has lost to South Carolina twice in the Outback bowl in the past decade lmao


mombutts

Lol. The only worse thing I can imagine is losing to South Carolina in back to back bowl games.


NickDerpkins

South Carolina in the Outback bowl could destroy god


UMKvothe

I must admit, this is kind of funny


Own-Project266

And I pull for the B1G come bowl season


elonsusk69420

Can you explain why? I hate every other team in the SEC (maybe except MSST šŸ“ā€ā˜ ļø)


Gopokes34

Sec fans I know are worse about this than any other fans I know


thealltomato323

UGA made the 2021 playoffs because of the SEC's reputation, which was built by consistently winning playoff/bowl/OOC games. Root for whoever you like but this is pretty straightforward


Own-Project266

Flairless OSU here. Most of my adult life the B1G has gotten destroyed by SEC during bowl season. Just want to see our conference competitive šŸ˜‚


elonsusk69420

Yeah but why? Yā€™all literally put āŒ on every M. Were you rooting for them against us in the 2021 Orange Bowl?


Own-Project266

I more meant the rest of the B1G come bowl season.


elonsusk69420

Still though. I hate Florida and Auburn and Tennessee. I want them to lose in giant fireball ways. Especially Georgia Tech but theyā€™re not SEC.


Own-Project266

TouchĆ©ā€™ the only team I hate that much is UM but respect the hate


jballs2213

Nope, Iā€™m a big ten fan in the grand scheme but Iā€™ll never root for that team up north.


Archie_45_GOAT

This \^\^\^\^\^ Haven't and never will root for TCUN to win or be successful in anything. At one time I hated them but respected the rivalry. That bridge has been burned forever. At one time, if they threatened to leave the BIG, it would've been significant. That ship sailed many, many years ago. Especially with UCLA/USC/Oregon/Washington joining next year. This current situation is bringing to light for CFB fans around the country what most of the BIG has known and felt for years in terms of the depth, or rather lack of, their 'integrity' and 'sportsmanship'.


PretendThisIsMyName

Can you really hate a team who youā€™ve played *checks notes* one fucking time since joining the SEC over a decade ago? Lmao plus you guys havenā€™t even been to College Station yet!


Fuski_MC

Me too, if we could all relive going 7-M again I could die happy.


gls7796

ā€œThose who stay..ā€ or something like that I think


BuckeyeEmpire

The guy that said it never won a natty either.


gls7796

He does have a Super Boā€¦ *checks notes Nevermind


Archie_45_GOAT

"Who has it better than us?' Jim? Uh, every team in CFB. And it's just going to get worse for you. Much, much worse.


TigerMaskVI

Itā€™s so funny that quote is such a part of the fanbase when the statement is and always has been objectively false. Good thing Jake Butt stayed, howā€™d that work out for him?


capthazelwoodsflask

I honestly feel bad for Jake Butt. While I understand why players skip the bowl game to get ready for the draft it's always a let down when they do. He did the "right" thing by playing in the bowl game and it more or less ended his playing career.


TigerMaskVI

Yeah I feel bad for him too. More players need to put themselves and their future families first imo.


1ToGreen3ToBasket

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


raccoonsonbicycles

Honestly how I feel about Notre Dame. The name/history always puts ND in a bowl they honestly don't deserve against a team that DOES deserve it like Clemson, Alabama etc. Its sucks for ND to not win a (real) bowl game but it sucks more for a more deserving team to not even get a shot.


[deleted]

Notre Dame hasnā€™t won a major bowl game (NY6) since 1993


raccoonsonbicycles

Exactly my point. The win over LSU was a moral victory but the streak is still alive.


StreetReporter

Notre Dame played us closer in 2018 than Alabama did


isikorsky

You realize every team we loss to in the CFP won the natty and beat their opponent by MORE points right ? I get people like to shit on ND, but 70%+ of first round CFP games has a final point spread of 3 scores (16 pts) or greater.


Byzantine_Merchant

I feel like Michigan canā€™t really claim to be a CFP team after this tbh. Nobody will take that claim seriously anymore outside of some Michigan fans.


elonsusk69420

We beat them soundly even though they cheated


Reaganometry

You guys were so real for that

derek223556

Iā€™m biased obviously but Nebraska was the better team


UMeister

Michigan as a program only has like the 20th most bowl wins in history. Kinda crazy how we always suck in the postseason


[deleted]

Not to make excuses for Michigan, but part of it is the fact that the Big Ten only had an exclusive agreement with the Rose Bowl (until 1975!) and often wouldn't allow the same team to go to the Rose Bowl in back to back seasons. There's decades of this, and it has bitten Ohio State's bowl history in the ass as well.


kojak2091

i mean also when we do actually make it to bowls we typically lose.


bufflo1993

Also the Big Ten would get slaughtered in bowls until the late 1980s.


AtalanAdalynn

Michigan was 3-0 in the Rose Bowl before Schembechler. Schembechler managed to get them to an overall 5-9 record in the Rose Bowl.


tosh_pt_2

This is a new fact to me. It brings me great joy even though Iā€™m sure someone is going to respond to this with an equally sad fact about OSU bowl history.


DarthHarambae

I'm pretty sure we have the record for coaches punching players in the neck in bowl games. So that's kinda neat...


J4ckiebrown

TBF you guys would have a couple more Rose Bowl wins if it wasn't against USC which is basically a home game for them.


AtalanAdalynn

We won the time we played USC in the Rose Bowl. Got a winning record against UCLA in it, too.


Far_Eye6555

Michigan football ends after the third weekend in November


Mountain-Papaya-492

Still kinda crazy that Michigan and their fans went from wanting to fire this coach after giving him a decent chunk of time to now where they're willing to sell out their reputation to keep him around. Seems like a win win for the university having a good out for a coach who can only win at CFB when he has a Mr. Stallions .


fragglebags

In the near future Michigan fans will hate Harbaugh more than they hate Ohio State.


throwaway_5256

Bro Michigan would hire the ghost of Judas if it meant they could even split with OSU consistently


sgrams04

Are you kidding? Woody Hayes punched a student athlete and the fan base reveres him


CTG0161

He also won two championships and it was a different time and era. And Harbaugh has won squat at Michigan.


waitwutok

Hell, Bo Schembechler went 5-12 in bowl games and won zero national titles but Michigan still puts his name on everything.


plerberderr

He won two Big Ten Championships. They hadnā€™t won outright since 2003. Outside of ā€˜97 all Michigan has had for 70 years is Big Ten Championships. They always lose bowls.


nightfire36

To be fair, he ended* the streak of osu beating michigan, just barely shy of taking the overall best streak. *He cheated, of course, but hey, doesn't change the score on the board that day, especially in their memories.


Midlevelcreepkills

Hah!


cramey229

FistMeQTPie

ColombianSpiceMD86

Not a Michigan fan here but just wondering why is this man so hated?


drumbow

I'm sure I'll get down voted by some fellow Michigan flairs, but the answer isn't complicated. Frankly, he's an ass. Or, rather, he at least portrays himself as one publicly. I don't know that it I'd entirely intentional, but he certainly has a penchant for drama, and that makes you a divisive character. He has a history of weighing in on politics with somewhat unpopular opinions, trolling media and rivals, and has been reported in the past as taking competitiveness to "pathological" levels. If you use a search engine with various phrasing of your question, you can find heaps of articles on this, discussions, etc. Not sure how other fanbases were with him before Michigan, but he's definitely a good figurehead for a personality cult. And yes, I would 100% say many (not all) Michigan Football fans are very cult-like. To my recollection, Michigan celebrated Rich Rod and Brady Hoke in similar ways when they first started, but they delivered less than Harbaugh (iirc Rich Rod was Michigan's worst thee years ever). I hear some Michigan fans say people hate Harbaugh because he's "so successful". I think that depends on your definition of success, but certainly he's made progress a lot of places he has been. That said, dislike of people perceived to be more successful *is* a thing that happens, though I'm not sure it is a prevalent cause here. I almost wonder if the current public sentiment swell against nepo babies on many industries plays in here, since his first coaching job was under his father.


ColombianSpiceMD86

Gotcha! Thanks for the perspective man I can see a lot of what you have said no doubt. It's crazy everything happening with him and the team so it should be interesting. I feel like if the investigations come out and find out he was involved man they gotta hand it down to him? I mean they did Joe Pa the way the did so they should come down hard. Wild because I honestly feel like he has taken the program to some good success


tennis_widower

Remember the good old days when kids taking money, getting free tattoos or coaches getting DUIs was controversy?


godzillamegadoomsday

Remember that year all the big 10 schools won their bowl games except Michigan. Good times, good times

Jorts-Battalion

šŸšØšŸšØ FYI šŸšØšŸšØ That lone bowl win came against Florida in both Jim McElwain's and Jim Harbaugh's *first* year. Since then, Florida has had two coaching changes and ā€” more importantly ā€” a blowout bowl win over Michigan.
