Harbaugh Sanctioned by NCAA

[Bobref]

I don’t know which is funnier, Harbaugh taking possession of the “Pete Carroll Award,” or the NCAA thinking anyone cares that they’ve now dropped the hammer on Khaki Boy. I think Harbaugh’s lawyer said it best:

“The way I see it, from Coach Harbaugh's perspective, today's COI decision is like being in college and getting a letter from your high school saying you've been suspended because you didn't sign the yearbook," Mars said.

"If I were in Coach Harbaugh's shoes and had an $80 million contract as head coach of the Chargers, I wouldn't pay any attention to the findings of a kangaroo court which claims to represent the principles of the nation's most flagrant, repeat violator of the federal antitrust laws," he added.

Not entirely a weasel move by the NCAA.   When Mr. Harbaugh fails again as an NFL coach and tries to flee back to the college ranks he would at least be immediately suspended from coaching for the first year, at least thru 2028:

Quote

...

The NCAA released its final 48-page public decision from the Division I Committee on Infractions on Wednesday and said Harbaugh failed to “meet his responsibility to cooperate with the investigation.” The show-cause order is from Aug. 7, 2024, through Aug. 6, 2028, and if hired during the show-cause order, Harbaugh would be suspended for 100% of the first season of employment.

A show-cause penalty is the way the NCAA makes certain a punishment of a coach is transferred to any other member school that hires the individual while the sanctions remain in effect. The school and coach must report to the NCAA every six months until the end of the show-cause penalty.

Hard to say that Harbaugh “failed” as an NFL coach. His record was 49-22-1. In four years, he led the San Francisco 49ers to three-straight NFC Championship Games, including an appearance in Super Bowl XLVII. A lot of guys would like to “fail” that way.

In the NFL if you are not first you are last.  Full stop.

Because he won a Super Bowl.

Nah, gotta agree with Bobref on this one. Harbaugh had a pretty successful run in the NFL. As a Steelers fan, I'd be thrilled Tomlin could lead Pittsburgh to three straight AFC title appearances. It'll never happen, he's average at best. Likable guy, but average football coach at a way 'above average football' organization.

Hey fellas, just checking in…can you do me a favor and use ALL CAPS for the rest of this thread so I can hear you at the top of this mountain from which I am now living?

Thanks in advance!

Now, @temptation, you know there are a lot of young posters on here. They look up to you. And now you’re telling them the ends justify the means. Tsk, tsk. Bad example.

WHY ARE YOU WHISPERING?

You’re a smart guy Bob.  Can you tell me specifically from an X’s and O’s standpoint why any of this matters and what advantage it actually gave Michigan as they ran roughshod (literally) over their opponents, had 13 guys (6 OL) drafted and actually went 8-0, including 5-0 against ranked opponents once Stalions was let go?

Who am I to question the NCAA? 🤣😂
 

One thing to keep in mind is that these sanctions have nothing to do with the sign stealing scandal. That shoe has yet to drop.

Actually if memory serves it was February 1st, 2009, a little over 15 years ago.  

The winning of a super bowl is a primary sign of success for an NFL head coach.  Therefore Mr. Harbaugh is not a successful NFL coach.  Yet.

Some takes don’t even deserve a response so I don’t know why I’m even wasting my time here.

Is winning 70% of your games in the NFL considered “successful?”

No, not in the NFL.  Winning a Super Bowl counts.

Jim Harbaugh to be Michigan's honorary captain for opener

Jim Harbaugh will be back at Michigan Stadium for the Wolverines' season opener.

The former Michigan coach has accepted an invitation to be the team's honorary captain for the Wolverines' Aug. 31 game against Fresno State.

"I look forward to having him back in Ann Arbor for that game," Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel said in an interview on the "1 Star Recruits" podcast.

Harbaugh left Michigan to take the head-coaching job with the Los Angeles Chargersafter leading the Wolverines to a national championship last season.

And I love it…OSU fans (who have a statue of Tressel and gave a fake administrative position on campus to Meyer) are clutching their pearls.

In other news, was cool of Connor Stalions to fall on the sword and follow JJ McCarthy to the league to decipher the Raiders defensive signals…

LSU, now Michigan. And ND was forced to vacate wins from two seasons in a row for academic misconduct. What am I missing?

With all the other nasty crap surrounding college football, I find it comical that the NCAA makes Notre Dame vacate wins because their players we're caught cheating on an exam(s). Damn, at least it's proof that their kids go to class.

Thought you were insinuating Michigan was vacating wins.
