Michigan Should Seriously Consider Moving on From Jim Harbaugh if They Fail to Meet Expectations

Jim Harbaugh has been the head coach of the Michigan Wolverines for four seasons. And to say that he hasn't lived up to the hefty expectations that the Ann Arbor faithful bestowed upon him when he came over from the San Francisco 49ers in 2014 wouldn't even begin to describe his tenure.

Wolverine Nation was expecting to reclaim their position atop the Big Ten and take down bitter rival Ohio State in short order. And while Michigan have come close to achieving both feats during Harbaugh's tenure, neither has been tackled of yet.

If the 2019-2020 season delivers the same theme of falling short, then Michigan should absolutely consider parting ways with their $52.1 million HC.

As Mr. Bender points out, Urban Meyer is no longer standing in his way in the Big Ten. Furthermore, Harbaugh's offense is returning several starters and early reports have indicated that new OC Josh Gattis has had the offense humming in spring scrimmages and practices.

This is an extremely encouraging sign as everybody knows just how much Michigan's limited offense has held them back over the years.

All of these dynamics should have 2019 labeled as the year that Harbaugh and the Wolverines get over the hump.

If not now, then when?

In our eyes, if Michigan lands second best to OSU and fails to register at least a bowl win, this should be Harbaugh's last season commanding the navy blue and gold.
