Doogs would say that Harbaugh had so much more talent to work with, so it's a bad comparison.
Doogs are stupid.
That is a simplistic analysis. But so is stating that great coaches win immediately no matter what.
If you followed Michigan closely over the past few years you would know that Hoke brought in a lot of talent especially on the defensive side where Mattison was a great closer but Hoke was possibly the worst head coach in the history of college football so it was all wasted. Some facts:
-Michigan's defense starts only one underclassmen- super stud Jabrill Peppers- and there are only 3 sophomores in total in the two-deeps (no freshmen.)
-Michigan's defensive two-deeps consist of two 5*, thirteen 4* and seven 3* recruits.
-Wayne Lyons was a two-year starter at Stanford. He transferred for Harbaugh and is now third string at Michigan and barely plays.
Borges was Hoke's fall guy but unlike for Sark that only bought him one more year. Hoke brought in Nussmeier for 2014 but by then it was such a dumpster fire there wasn't anything Nussmeier could do to save it.
Michigan's offense in 2015 still isn't great but marginal improvements can go along way when you have the talent on defense that they do.
All that being said- I expected Michigan to be good and have made good money betting them on the spread thus far this year but I didn't expect them to be THIS GOOD. This has the potential to be an all-time great defense. Unfortunately their schedule is awful and they don't play anyone legit until the Big Game on November 28th. I guess we will find out then what Harbaugh is worth.
Quite honestly, yes Harbaugh is the best coach in the land, but this also speaks to how fucking terrible Hoke is and how much decent players had quit. This story could have been the same had Harbaugh taken over Owen12 instead of Seven.
