Harbaugh has burned bridges wherever he has been, and you just hoped for all the world that he’d learned a lesson and would be a better citizen in college.
Sad to say, so far that’s not happening, and it’s hard to really see the guy changing what his character is.
And can we quit giving the guy credit for what he’s not? No, not every single move Harbuagh pulls is calculated like a genius that somehow has secrets provided to him by life beyond this planet of ours. No, instead, Harbaugh is an emotional and impulsive guy that gets a lot right with creativity, but that far too often let’s the heat of the moment get in the way of the big picture.
Despite it all, Michigan is standing by its guy. Silently, but sternly. That probably says more than any statement or memo that could ever be released.
Deadly silent.
