Michigan fans are calling for Jim Harbaugh to be fired after blowing the Michigan State game
By John Buhler
Some Michigan football fans want head coach Jim Harbaugh fired after collapsing down the stretch to little brother Michigan State in East Lansing on Saturday afternoon.
Jim Harbaugh’s seat is starting to get really toasty after a disaster of a collapse for the Michigan football team vs. Michigan State on Saturday.
In the biggest game of the day, the Wolverines fell apart down the stretch to the Spartans. They blew a nine-point lead at halftime to fall in East Lansing, 37-33. While Mel Tucker’s head-coaching stock is soaring right now, many people in Ann Arbor are questioning if it is really time to move off its former star quarterback turned head coach. Simply put, this is just more of the same from him.
The big question is if the Wolverines part ways with Harbaugh at the end of the year, who can Michigan get to replace him as the football team’s head coach?

Everybody and their brother was quick to point out Harbaugh’s inability to get it done vs. top 10 teams, ranked teams on the road and his abysmal record vs. Michigan State and Ohio State while at the helm in Ann Arbor.

What Michigan fans have to decide is if this is acceptable for its head coach or not. Do they want a guy who can go 10-2, 9-3 most years, but never win the two games that matter the most?

Jim Harbaugh continues to win enough to not get fired while losing the games that infuriate his fanbase and ignite his rivals the most. You love to see it.

Jim Harbaugh is done at Michigan. He may stick around another year or two but the fans have lost all confidence in him after this game.

This is what Jim Harbaugh is. It is what he always has been at UM. He is a 10-win coach who can't win a big game. UM is better than most, but a huge, huge step behind the elite programs.

Michigan and its fans have to decide whether that is acceptable or not moving forward.
To lose back-to-back games to Tucker in what is only his second season in East Lansing might be too much for some of the Michigan faithful to stomach.

If Michigan is done with Harbaugh, the Wolverines need to pay everything to get Matt Campbell.
