I think Michigan's sustained success largely hinges on Harbaugh being extended and retained. If he goes, it is going to be really rocky.......because even though OSU fans love that some of his records are still lopsided, from cleaning up the nuclear wasteland that was the program, he's easily one of the 5 best coaches in CFB........and there's just not another one of him walking through the door.
Setting aside all the tongue in cheek back and forth, kind of a fascinating off-season for OSU. We are a few weeks removed from the McCord thing and it is trending away from OSU getting one of the top portal guys. And now they have spun in to Devin Brown gas up season (who lost a QB competition to McCord) and Day might be staring at a 1st year starter against Michigan, in a must win game. And it will be a Michigan defense with a lot of talent and experience back.
Maybe some of the risk is mitigated if there are a few surprise returnees but OSU is going to experience a large amount of turnover, in a season their coach really needs to deliver. They definitely got insanely lucky with how the schedule broke, that is for sure. If they had received Michgan's schedule, would have been a really wild ride early on.
How do you feel today? About the off-season?
