I think he's a top 5 coach in college football. Most people agree and I'm the boner eh?

It's not a hard concept to understand. And you know OSU just won a natty right?

I have an issue with someone telling me a team can't win something when they were one of the four teams with a chance last year. But I am very logical, so I apologize about that.

Point out one game last year that so impressed you that you believe they win a natty. One series, one play. What was so impressive about that team? That staff.

Don't get caught up in that hype or their first six games next year. He still has to beat OSU and MSU. Top five? Based on what?

When did I say I thought UM would win a natty this year? Took him 3-4 years to turn Stanford into a power. Same timeframe now nut he gets better talent.

Oh, I get it. The typical Walvie "wait til he gets his own players" spin. Forget that Hoke had 2 huge recruiting years in a row and left a stocked roster for your Savior.

I hope your Messiah gets it done in the glorious Big House soon. For your sake.

What's more riveting is you attempting to convince us how msu will never win a natty in either sport in every thread

Exaggerate much? Never said that about MSU hoops.

In football I believe that unless we start to get dirty. We can have really good success that 90% of college football teams would envy (like the run we are on), but natty in football is something I don't consider realistic for MSU.

Only about 12 teams I consider it realistic for.

So a National Championship is not realistic for Dantonio and MSU but it is for Harbaugh and U of M. Seems logical.

because scUM cheats while we and our fine scholar-athletes do not.

(I don't believe that we can't win a national championship.. as I wake up every morning looking forward to the day I can procure a MSU National Champion t-shirt. I'm simply suggesting that the Dude thinks that).

He doesn't get better talent than Andrew Luck, and he will always have to play osu and MSU.

Correct. UM has access to the elite of the elite talent that MSU doesn't, and Harbaugh is a win at all costs throat that is playing by SEC rules.

That is what it takes.

Weird. I seem to remember MSU beating the defending National champion OSU just last year. I also vaguely recall MSU playing in the national semis.

What I don't remember is Harbaugh beating either OSU or MSU. Not going to happen this year either. Or anytime soon.

Again, I hope your hero can turn things around in Ann Arbor and get them back to a Lloyd Carr level. Or even worse, a Bo Schembechler level.

The Lord Jesus Harbaugh does not cheat. Blasphemy, Bob. Repent.

Ok, but the PAC12 is a better conference than the B1G.  Has been for a long time.  And come on, if you think that he can't more talent at UM than at a place like Stanford, welp, good for you.

Seriously, the one year he had a good record in the Pac 12 Every team in the league besides Oregon had at least 4 losses, most had 5.  It was a horrible league.  I know David Shaw has won 3 of the last 5 titles since he's left.  

I dont think he's a bad coach, he's a good coach, but he is not some coach like Saban who you just kow will win championships.  Especially because I think he's the third best coach in the East division.  If OSU or MSU has talent anywhere near Michigan, I'd definitely give both those schools the edge against a JH lead team.

Ok not going to argue if you think Dantonio is a better coach.  At this point in their collegiate careers, I'd agree.

But isn't getting talent to play for you a very very important part of coaching?  So, at the end of the day, if *hypothetically* Dantonio doesn't have enough talent, he's ultimately to blame, right? And Im not saying Dantonio isn't getting enough talent, he's putting a lot of guys into the league.

And comparing anyone to Saban is crap.  He's arguably the #1 coach ever in the history of the sport.  So, everyone ever will come up short if you do a direct comparison.  Kind of like K in hoops.

There's a reason every national title team in the bcs and now playoff era has had multiple top 10 recruiting classes. Its not a coincidence.

The system perpetuated "national title" games.  We would see teams like Boise State never invited to the NC game because polls and writers were slanted.  In turn, we'd see things like a team perpetually put into the top ten.  Here's an interesting break down:

It's not what you get rated, it's what you do with it.

It's just a chart that really tells us which teams were perpetually over rated and which were perpetually under rated.  

As the playoffs expand, we'll see more and more teams with classes that are "lesser ranked" win and do well in the playoffs.   We see it in basketball all the time where teams will be beat those teams that we've believed to be the best all year.   But if you only have to win one game (up until 2015) and now 2 games, it still can be a skewed stat that recruitnics like yourself ( I know you've told us you aren't but obviously you really are- most uofm fans are) can use to say "see it' takes a huge class to win a title.  Those titles were phony as can be and even the last two years we can't be real sure.  As we expand the playoffs, we'll see that those rankings will match up less and less with what really is a true power.  

finally, why wasn't Harbaugh able to take the classes that Hoke had and beat MSU or Utah with them?  I'm puzzled.  If he is anywhere near the coach Dantonio or Whittingham is, he was able to work with a much more talented crew.
