Meet Michigan's Biff Poggi: Jim Harbaugh's consigliere is the most interesting man in coaching

In a high school coach who built a national powerhouse from scratch, the Wolverines found the man who helped right the ship in Ann Arbor.

It's time we get Marcus Freeman a millionaire right hand man.

There was an HBO series about St. Frances called The Cost of Winning. It was very good.

His new special that he put out on YouTube is the funniest hour of comedy I’ve seen in years.

Same. Which is a massive complement.
Actually, Patrice O'Neill Elephant in the Room special (on youtube) is number 1 now I think about it.

Does a good Trump impression, too. Big Phillies fan as well as ND

Rumor mill has him transferring to Michigan. Weird to ask in post game, what was he gonna say?

 

[Blazers46]

The problem is Harbaugh. Even after the win the players looked like classless idiots.

Fuck Michigan! They don't pay NIL money to any players, as they save that cash to buy off the refs. A half blind dim-witted official should be able to recognize an obvious Offensive Pass Interference! I don't like O$U, but I hope they totally hose the "should be" 10-1 cheatin' mutha frickin' Skunkbears!!!

I made note of that on Saturday as well. A lot of trash talk for a 2 point win at home against Illinois.

I thought they could win in Columbus this weekend, but not with both Corum and Edwards at less than 100%. Ain't happening.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

I'm still not entirely sold on Michigan. Their schedule was charmin soft this year with Penn State and Michigan State both being worse than expected. You can make an argument they have two quality wins over Penn State (who they got at home) and Illinois (also home). I don't think it's unreasonable to say that if that game were in Champaign last weekend, that's a loss.

Ohio State on the other hand is a bit more battle tested, they have the home crowd, a revenge game for last year, etc.

Idk that Michigan can slow down that passing attack. They haven't played a QB like Stroud all season, haven't been too stressed in the secondary this year.

Michigan will try to run. They can’t throw well. Michigan needs a very low scoring game and need their defense to win this game.

Yep, and I agree with Jigg's point above; if Corum and Edwards aren't 100% that's a big red flag for scUM.

I couldn’t believe the Gash kid made that crucial catch to extend the game vs ILL. The kid hadn’t played all year and had a huge drop on an earlier drive. They can’t expect to win with that kid and Stokes in the backfield for four quarters.

so you are saying another beatdown at the hands of UGA if they meet in the playoffs again this season

They can seem to manage a team but can’t figure out how to make a simple tunnel entrance/exit work. Unbelievable.

I think it’s the attitude. Every time I watch the players seem to be borderline asshats.

 

[phork]

UM also has 8 home games so a big game on the road is going to be too big. If I'm a DC facing UM I am selling out to shut down the run and make McCarthy beat you, which he has shown he can't do it. McNamara makes all those throws last week vs Illinois and UM probably wins going away. They made their bed, they can lie in it.

Any rumors of Harbaugh to the Colts?

Might need to start some...

Nah, his flirtation with the NFL last year has actually hurt the program. I think they are ranked 22nd currently, might have one or two kids committed in the top 250. Average ranking I think is actually 22 as well. They'll hurt in a few years.

If he did what name do you think would get brought up?

Nothing here in Indy. TBH, I don't think you'll hear any names until after the season and I have a gut feeling it's already Saturday's if he wants it.

Rhule and Fickell

Yeah I think he learned his lesson. I'm not sure his coaching style will translate to the NFL again anyways. Not very common you see a coach with the success he had in SF get forced out and there's a reason why he wasn't able to parlay his successes at scUM to an NFL gig after he made the playoff last year.

He'll be in ann arbor for a while.

scUM is ranked in the top 5 while being undefeated and yet they just took a verbal from a LB from Cincy rated only the 88th best LB in the nation. i'm laughing about it but how the hell do you recruit this badly when you are a top 5 team at the moment

Muck fichigan!!!

Lately, if I’m having a bad day, I think about how much worse things would feel if ND was recruiting like Michigan. I then find my way over to 247sports and check to see if Louisville is still ranked higher than Michigan with fewer commits. And then…. I breathe a little easier.
