Hey Ref!
Hey Ref! I'm about to become the second Michigan coach to start his career 0–2 against Ohio State. 

Jim Harbaugh and Rich Rodridguez are the only Michigan coaches to start 0–2 against Ohio State.

With 8 seniors on starting on offense, 10 seniors seniors starting on defense and 29 on the 2-deep. That list does not include the all-everything RS junior Jabrill Peppers.

Considering the players Ohio State returns and the fire that burns in Urban Meyer to win this game, Harbaugh will have a hard task not matching Rodriguez's 0-3 start.

THAT TEAM'S COACHES WITH NON-WINNING RECORDS IN THE GAME
COACH YEARS RECORD PCT
Rich Rodriguez 2008–2010 0–3 .000
Jim Harbaugh 2015–Now 0–2 .000
Chalmers "Bump" Elliott 1959–1968 3–7 .300
Harry Kipke 1929–1937 3–6 .333
Brady Hoke 2011–2014 1–3 .333
Lloyd Carr 1995–2007 6–7 .462
Langdon "Biff" Lee 1900 0–0–1 .500
Elton E. Wieman 1927–1928 1–1 .500
Bennie Oosterbaan 1948–1958 5–5–1 .500
Time to pick a new coach?
If (when) Harbaugh starts 0–3 in The Game, will it be time for Michigan to pick a new coach?

Playoffs or not, it's always a good year when Ohio State wins this game. It's 9:58 and Michigan still sucks.
