Harbaugh's Losses By Year

YEAR	LOSSES
2020	3
2019	4
2018	3
2017	5
2016	3
2015	3

Welcome to your weekly edition of Sunday schadenfreude. Another week and another loss for our rival against a B1G opponent. The more things change the more they stay the same for a substandard website to our north. 

Khaki Blue boy became the first head coach of That Team to start his tenure with at least three losses in six straight seasons.

How far has the program fallen? The Wolverines have now lost at least three games in nine consecutive seasons. A program first.

Another first? The fans of Our Rivals are wanting Ed Warinner to be the interim head coach. 

Colllllllllllllllllllllecting Those Ls

Going back to last year's game against Ohio State, Harbaugh has lost five of the last six contests. The lone win was against a COVID riddled Minnesota team to start this season. Harbaugh is also 10–9 over the last 19 games.

The last time Our Rival lost three straight games? 2017. The last time they lost three consecutive conference games? 2010.

"Who has it better than us?" Too many teams to list.

Harbaugh's Record in Big Games

OPPONENT	RECORD
OHIO STATE	0–5
TOP 10 TEAMS	2–13
BOWL GAMES	1–4
WISCONSIN	2–3
NOTRE DAME	1–1
MICHIGAN STATE	3–3
PENN STATE	3–2

Harbaugh, Their Hero

Remember when mgoblog celebrated the hiring of Jimmy Boy with "It's Happening"? Well, this is what has happened, The One Who Wears Khakis is a combined 1–9 against Ohio State and his bowl opponent. The lone win was in his first season against Florida in the prestigious Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl. Since that great victory, the Wolverines have gone 0–9 when playing against the Buckeyes or in a bowl game. They have also been defeated by an average score of 36-26 in those contests.

The One Who Wears Khakis has a losing record (11–16) against ranked opponents, is 2–13 against Top 10 teams and has accumulated 21 losses in six seasons. To put that in perspective, Urban Meyer was 24–5 against ranked teams and 13–5 against Top 10 opponents as Ohio State's head coach over seven seasons.

So, let's find out how the fans of That Team responded to their beloved squad losing its 21st game under Jimmy Harbaugh.

It was hazardous, but well worth the venture on mgoblog.com to read through the comments in the open thread on mgoblog and the site's game recap. Now you don't have to read all 1,670 comments from the open thread and the 163 comments in the staff article. 

As always, the words are theirs. It was difficult, but spelling and grammatical errors were not corrected. 

Note: This used to be written as a reminder on how not to respond when your favorite team loses or struggles. Today? Let's just revel in their misery.

TURNING ON THE ONE WHO WEARS KHAKIS

ThadMattasagoblin

Fire Harbaugh

YoOoBoMoLloRoHo

Time for Harbaugh to exit stage left.  He doesn’t motivate the players (how many fast starts vs slow starts?) and his game plans have tanked since the first two years.

ND Sux

Play calling absolutely sucks balls.

MichAtl85

Fire Hokebaugh. What an abortion. 

Coldwater

It’s hard to put into words how horrible Harbaughs team is.     Holy shit

umichfaninpa

Resignations need to be turned in tonight!

los barcos

Bacs tweeted out there’s been no conversation about the future between Warde and Harbaugh so far.  Maybe this game will make Warde get off his ass and do something about that.

bluebyyou

$8 million a year?  

uofmchris2

How are these coaches still receiving paychecks?

Wolverine 73

And such huge fucking paychecks!

Soulfire21

Yep. It’s over. Fuck this entire staff.

MichAtl85

Well Jim said he’d let his actions speak for themselves. We’ve heard you Jim. Loud and clear. 

alablue

Jim has to go! From a life long M fan

uminks

I sure the hell hope Harbaugh resigns after this disaster.

Warrior-poet

Ok so fire Harbaugh...what next? bc who in the hell would want this job? Seriously, who? The recruits are going to bail. That’s going to set the program back 5 yrs minimum.  There is a legit possibility that the program never comes back a season like this.  This is the death of M football. 

father fisch

Ok...

50 point loss and Harbaugh quits?

Please?

MFun

This is unwatchable. Really. Mind boggling. 

Really have to fire the coach after this game. There is no reason to continue. 

JD_UofM_90

How can Wisconsin have a better football program then Michigan?  They have more money?  No.  Better resources?  No.  Better geographic location?  No.   Better recruiting classes?   No.  Better coaching?   Yes and its not even close.  

Jordan2323

Harbaugh can't even wear his stupid mask correctly, hes such a joke 

ckersh74

He can wear it like a jock strap for all I care, if they're going to play like this. 

LewisBullox

Fucking coward. Walk off the fucking field and save yourself some shame you little bitch. Fuck Jim Harbaugh.

UMProd

Why is the guy who stole 8M from Michigan not in handcuffs instead of wandering the sidelines

Skeptikal

They have completely given up.  How can they possibly keep Harbaugh beyond this season?

Cam

If this isn’t Harbaugh’s last game, Manuel should be fired too. This is the worst Michigan team I’ve ever seen.

username03

At least it will be amusing to see how the cult of Jimmy tries to polish yet another turd.

BlueWolverine02

Someone tell me again why we can't move on from Harbaugh because it will take us back to the Hoke days.  We are already back in the Hoke days.

B-Nut-Go-Blue

This is so pathetic. Fuck Harbaugh. I'm done

JTP

Michigan deserves better so I’m stepping down immediately. What I want Jim to say after the game.

RustyCleats

Get rid of Harbaugh and Brown  PLEASE! Give us Brady instead. God...I miss Brady. At least he clapped and showed a touch of enthusiasm. 

JD_UofM_90

A frosh QB with covid is better than our 3rd year player that won a 3 player competition?   Harbs is not a QB whisperer.  He is a destroyer. 

bfeeavveerr

If Jim Harbaugh loves Michigan , he resigns after this game. But before he does,he fires Don Brown. The only problem is that his coaching staff is so poor,that no one is capable of taking over the team for the rest of the year. This program is hot garbage. Bottom 4 in the Big Ten.

Maize4Life

FIRE JIM HARBAUGH..He can NOT win  a big game..don't drag it out

FIRE FUCKING HARBAUGH FIRE FUCKING HARBAUGH FIRE FUCKING HARBAUGH FIRE FUCKING HARBAUGH – bluegary

FIRE DON BROWN

UNI_MaizeNBlue

Don Brown should not survive this....Harbaugh sucks balls

jdib

Well, the silver lining is this may hasten the coaching search but I fear I will have burned out my eyeballs with a hot poker before anything promising happens.

bamf_16

And that last graphic is called, how the hell is Don Brown still employed?!

bluegary

FUCKING DON BROWN HAS TO GO. They are fucking horrible. I have been a fan for 50 years and this is the worst fucking Michigan I have ever seen. That includes rich rods 1st year. 

Fuck You Don Brown!

TURNING ON THE PLAYERS

HateSparty

Ross is so slow and has poor techniques 

bluegary

Well so much for that. Milton sucks

Ham

The tight ends that Michigan has recruited under Harbaugh are the worst pass-catchers ever.

Streetchemist

We just have awful offensive players. Just no above average skill anywhere. 

My Name is LEGIONS

Listen. ROSS NEEDS TO BE BENCHED. He over pursued on that reverse. Blows plays game after game. 

TheFannMan

Eubanks can’t catch.  Why the hell is he playing?  

The Deer Hunter

Do we have one damn TE that can catch a football or our we ALL out?

ND Sux

Take Milton OUT!

ih8losing

Can we have Shea back? Joe is horrible. Dude is 6’5” and he can’t see a linebacker right in front of his passing lane? 

iMBlue2

There’s arm talent and then there’s playing quarterback.  Throwing it over a mountain like uncle Rico doesn’t do much if it going into the hands of the other team that you can’t see...where’s Dylan McCaffery at?

Double_D

This team is dog shit.   Milton looks lost.   Who gives a shit about his “big arm” ability.  It’s about your bad plays at QB

Maize4Life

Milton is a disaster and NOT the player the coaches hyped him to be  that was WRONG as well

Maize and Blue AF

2/2...  To the other team...  Is Milton some sort of practice hero?  Cuz he sucks ass in games.

KAYSHIN15

Erick All is a bum

Gohokego

Ross has been terrible

Coldwater

Hinton plays like a fucking pussy.    Soft beyond belief 

MGoBlue96

Ross needs to be benched, has been god awful this year.

Michiganfaninbuckeyeland

Hate to speak badly about these kids but Hinton and Mazi Smith look terrible. Smith was driven back 5yds on that drive 

FSUBulldog

Please for the love of gawd bench Milton

You will be much happier right now if you only think about boobies.– uferfan

THE DELUSIONAL

Rudywasoffsides

Go blue! 31-23

UMProud

Hopefully the shame of the last 2 weeks woke Harbaugh up and he had the guys watch game film and actually prepare...if so we actually might win this.

HuskyTeam5

Go Blue. Never surrender.  Silence the haters.  

RandallFlagg

Perfect weather for man coverage.  Let’s do this

House Mother

The stadium always looks good on TV...even when it is empty.

bronxblue

I'll take my lumps, but I think UM looks better and Wiscy looks worse than people think, and it's a close game either way.

R.J. MacReady

Lol.  We recruit to many players that like ‘school’.  Need a bunch that ‘dont’ come to play school’. 

RandallFlagg

Michigan plays better in cold weather.   Give it time 

RedRum

We got them where we want them

WolverineHistorian

Can they please re-cancel the season?  

tomer

Hire Urban Myer

bluegary

Hoping for a COVID outbreak at halftime. Cancel the rest of the year.

Ham

This team needs to find the Wizard of Oz, because they have no heart.

TheCube

Wisconsin might hang 100 on us... forget OSU 

WindCityWolverine

Why not announce that the entire team is in the Covid protocol, and not come out for the 2nd half?

Hail Harbo

So it's not a total waste, I have reruns of "Married...With Children" cued up on my remote.

RandallFlagg

Maybe more Massachusetts recruits?

BlueTimesTwo

We are going to get Rutgered.

TheCube

We’re back to having Kirk Herbstreit feeling sad for us again. 

Schemboeller Carrbaugh

Milton looks like Tom Brady trying to run a QB power

M and M Boys

Which announcer said ‘Even the Cardboard Cutouts are booing Michigan’?

uferfan

Rancid flatulence.

alablue

I can't take it anymore, good bye cruel world.

YOU WILL BE MUCH HAPPIER RIGHT NOW IF YOU ONLY THINK ABOUT BOOBIES.– UFERFAN

ONE LINERS

samdrussBLUE

Purdue’s QB is much better than Milton

tigerd

Unfortunately thats not saying much. Rocky Lombardi is better than Milton and he's benched.

Brian Griese

You’re better off loading up PornHub than this crap. 

UMProud

Jim Harbaugh ...breaker of all the wrong records.

BlueTimesTwo

Our tight ends couldn’t catch covid.

Darker Blue

If going backwards made you successful we'd be number one 

JamesBondHerpesMeds

COVID, take the wheel and put us out of our misery.

nine and three

I bet the recruits are signing there loi right now!

UMProud

The Bighouse is now the Outhouse

littlebrownjug

Thank, God, for hockey!

ThatFatMan42

We are Rutger now.

sleeper

This looks  like Varsity vs JV at a high school practice

Ham

I get that social distancing is important, but can the defense please stop giving every Wisconsin player 6 feet of space?

uncle leo

If anyone is bitching about pass interference calls, stop. We have one fucking yard.

Quadrazu

Would be something if the hockey team outscored the football team today...

los barcos

Is there a mercy rule in college football?

U Fer M

Michigan is punting pretty well...

sonie_me

Please don't come out for the 2nd half.

Go Blue in MN

This would be hard to take if we weren't so close.

UMProud

Rutgers will score 50 on us

Jevablue

Seriously, some one is being paid to do this?

Cold War

Wonder what smoke Sam will be lowing up our asses Monday.

TallyWolverine

HAIL TO THE CONQUERED!

Oh, good. Now we're one of the teams the announcers make fun of.– Blue Vet

REALITY BITES

Navy Wolverine

Just got my torch and pitchfork from the shed. Now I'm ready to watch the game!

The FannMan

I haven’t had this little hope since Rich Rod - year 1.  

ThatFatMan42

0-10 as an underdog, kinda pathetic.

JWG Wolverine

Fuck it...ready to get my heart broken again.

LET'S GO BLUE!!!

UM2LosAngeles

Time to turn this game off don’t want to waste good beers watching this shit show 

Jordan2323

We suck 

swalburn

We are just a bad bad football team.

LabattBlue

Badger OL looks like NFL vs NCAA, gonna be a long night.

Hail Harbo

We were warned, by many, that Harbaugh was good for four years, no more.  Two years past his sell by date and he is a bit skunky.

jdib

This is like watching your own house burn down.  You can't look away and are filled with a substantial sense of dread.

uminks

This offense is one hot POS!

Ham

And fire the employee that put the cardboard of the fan from the 2015 MSU game.

Soulfire21

End the season.

B-Nut-GoBlue

fuck this program

TheCube

This is going to be an epic blowout 

modaddy21

Team is straight trash. Coaching is trash. Worst team I’ve seen in sometime.

Brian Griese

This is fucking embarrassing. 

steeltownblue

This is going to be a season of infinite pain.  It's like Harbaugh is daring Manuel to fire him.

ckersh74

It's 8:10 PM. I might be on the treadmill before 8:20 at this point. 

Brian Griese

I’m too drunk and pissed to run on a treadmill. 

RobM_24

I might glue sandpaper to my treadmill belt, turn it on high, and stick my face on it

shags

I am looking forward to the December 19th rematch against Minnesota in the 7th place division vs. division game.  That should be fun.

Mongo

Holly shit we suck so bad. 

R. J. MacReady

I’m done.  I love my school, but this football team is a smoldering fire of shit. 

HireWayne

We're one of the worst teams in the Power 5 conferences 

Lakeyale13

I am 44 and this is the worst Michigan team I have ever seen. Not even close. 

Ham

MgoBlowww

Not sure it’s if coaching, talent, or both. But this team is utter dog shit.

TallyWolverine

We continue to get worse on both sides of the ball 

ThatFatMan42

OSU is gonna hang 150 on us, and we might not score

pdgoblue25

Pathetic horseshit prep, pathetic horseshit effort, pathetic horseshit team. 

Gree4

This is how Rutgers fans feel. Let that sink in...we have been dominated 3 weeks in a row 

cactus

I’m still pissed about the surrender cobra cardboard guy.  Like have some fucking pride.  Who allows that shit?  MSU fans on staff?  Do other teams troll their own fans with the cardboard cutouts?  I’m curious!

A Lot of Milk

Not having the sign would mean refunding a person $60 which is somehow even less likely for a Michigan athletic program to do than beating OSU

LabattsBleu

First Quarter sats:

total offense:

Wisky 121 yards.

Michigan 1 yard.

not a typo

rob f

What a fuckin shit-show.

ih8losing

By the end of this game, this will likely be Michigan’s worst home loss ever.

Bill22

I have been a die hard fan for 30 years and this is the worst team I have ever seen.  I can’t believe it.  There is no excuse.

Wolverine4life01

Wisconsin will have their practice squad in and still score on the Michigan starters. What a freaking embarrassing mess. So glad they put this game on prime time. What a freaking joke

Bambam

I think Wisconsin is averaging more yards per play than we have in total yards right now 

Bambam

I did the math. At the time of this writing they average 6.6 yards per play, while Michigan has 6 total yards. 

bluegary

All these recruits that came to town have already left and the ones that were committed are calling Harbaugh right now and decommiting

sharkey

So what are you guys going to be doing during the second half? I'm crocheting an oven mitt.

aiglick

Hoke offense and RichRod defense. Mah Gawd.

TallyWolverine

This game, more than the last two games, leaves little doubt that Ryan Day is actually gonna be able to get his team to hang 100 on Michigan. 

ckersh74

....and go full-on Woody Hayes, and go for 2 to get to 100. 

JD_UofM_90

This team is marshmallow soft.  Not the normal kind but that soft fluff stuff.  

We are not good and it hurts my heart– UNI_MaizeNBlue
