Michigan is the premier college football program. The uniforms, the big house, the city of Ann Arbor. There’s nothing close.

Bama alot more successful with titles. I hate Bama. UM put it on them! GO BLUE!

[@mgt2010fla]

What we just saw in Houston, and in Pasadena, if you take the SEC outside the footprint of the SEC for bowl games, needs to be a hint at making it fair for all the teams NOT in the SEC! Next year in Atlanta will play right into giving the SEC a "home field" again, just like every other playoff/title games except for Fiesta and the Rose Bowls, will be in the South!

[@otisjohnjr.3023]

Could be, the SEC schools don't make it that far in the CFP bracket next year.

[@mgt2010fla]

@@otisjohnjr.3023 As long as the SEC plays all the playoffs games in the SEC footprint, it will be unfair! Play in Indy, the Rose Bowl, where Bama fans didn't go because they thought they would be in Houston! Find locations that suit the playoffs, not the old bowl games where southern schools have a home game advantage. Traditional bowls are dead with the new playoffs, no one wants to travel to see meaningful games where key players don't show up to play!

[@tonyesquire5308]

If I were Jim Harbaugh, I'd either stay at Michigan, or wait on the Texas Longhorns or Dallas Cowboys. All the NFL teams looking at him now were hating a few years ago.

[@secretasianman2531]

isn't this the guy who quoted all those 'anonymous' coaches saying michigan wasn't any good? which way will the wind blow tomorrow?

[@hopchocky]

Vrabel isn’t going to college. Taylor Lewan just told Rich the other day.

[@robertjulieannanalett1691]

I think the questions being asked because Ryan day was never a head coach before he was hired at Ohio state and never actually built a program and took over a top five team with CJ and a group of five star receivers. He proceeded to lose three consecutive games to Michigan in dominant fashion. With his play calling appearing to be questionable at critical moments of games. That's why Vrabel would be the Conquering Hero for Ohio State fans.

[@cla4982]

Like that Bruce talked about the Michigan players.

[@otisjohnjr.3023]

Harbaugh was all about the players while Saban was all about his control.

[@robertrenekerjr6819]

I can understand what Bruce is saying, but one thing the pros can't give Harbaugh is the relationship with the players. Also cannot give him the job security that he now has in Ann Arbor. And we really do not know what his family wants. So I can see this going either way. But honestly, Jim Harbaugh probably doesn't even know what he is going to do.

[@edmundmcbride6355]

If the Titans just let go of Mike Vrabel and hire Jim Harbaugh would be an insult

[@Ynkno]

wow. harbaugh took a pay cut.

[@jahnelss]

The way I see it, Jim is going to either the Chargers or the Raiders. And im leaning raiders. He can pick all his own guys. RB and WR is there, 13th pick and can pick his own QB. It's a BlueBlood franchise, and the owner will literally give him a blank check and keys to the car. He will build it inside out on both sides of the ball.

[@ReadingsbyDom]

Everybody is an expert about Harbaugh… Your comment lacks common sense as it pertains to his children, their ages, and education. Perhaps, not a good time to uproot. He doesn’t need the money. The NFL will always be there.

[@jahnelss]

You know what, you got it.

[@klass_1221]

"No more Jim Harbaugh to persecute". 😂😂😂 Well said, Rich Eisen. B1G 10 welcomes Pac-12's elite. "More" alliance to go against hallowed mighty SEC. The Southeast has reigned long enough, "Ya' heeyuh".

[@stevenyao4832]

when Jim Harbaugh finally retires, would he want to be a multi-natty winner at Michigan, or a Natty and Super Bowl winner? Personally, I think winning a Natty and Super Bowl is more impressive

[@eaton24]

"Jim Harbaugh dominated the rivalry against Ohio State" ....Harbaugh's record against Ohio State, 3-5.

[@mgt2010fla]

Well, if you want to go back in history OSU has a losing record versus Michigan going back to the start of the series! As far as Harbaugh I like his current record, 3-0, and Cryin' Ryan Day is 1-3! Welcome the new John Cooper, the best OSU coach Michigan ever had, and Michigan had him every year! By the way, nice game with Mizzou! Another image of John Cooper!

[@treyabbey6477]

Explain to everyone why it's BS? Please share your knowledge. I'll give you areas to focus on to help. Do you think they needed to cheat with their first half schedule? When the news broke the week of Michigan St, did Michigan cheat after that? Did they cheat against Penn St? Maryland? Ohio St? Alabama? Washington? Since all teams knew Michigan was stealing signs, wouldn't they change their signs? And if they didn't change signs, that just makes them stupid, huh?

@jclemens67 he's not a journalist anymore. He's a "media personality", a talking head. I enjoy his show, especially with the actors who come on and whenever guys like Bruce are on. I hate his constant gushing about UM and these questions about Day being possibly out at Ohio State (watch his interview with John Daly - he kept trying to get him to say Trump was cheater, but Daly wouldn't. When he said that it's Bill Clinton who's a notorious cheater, Rich just finessed around that and tried to come back to something about Trump. Like you said bias), but at the end of the day Michigan is his alma mater and his team, and it's his show. So more power to him.
