If Harbaugh were to start 0-4 vs OSU is he in trouble?

Outside of losing to Ohio St and still making playoffs. DOES 0-4 get him fired.
If Ohio St makes the playoff the next 2 years in row and Michigan fails to make it in 17 and 18 while losing to Ohio State he might get canned.
So it is possible he is 2 games away from being fired.

I think if he puts up really solid numbers outside of Ohio St. they keep him around. Which is not end of the world difficult mind you. There are two or three talented Big 10 teams outside of Michigan every year so rolling up 9-10 win seasons is not a Herculean task.

Take this to the B1G Board
And to answer your question, yes he will get fired
Bear Bryant was at Kentucky for 8 or 9 seasons and never beat Tenner. While he used the lighter / cadillac tall tale to recruit, his failure to beat Tenner probably cost him the job at Kentucky.
The #1 and #2 all time winning coaches at TAMU (Homer and RC if memory serves) did not beat Texas enough to keep their jobs.
How many Alabama coaches have lost to Auburn for 3 straight seasons and kept their jobs?
Generally, you have to beat your rival often enough to keep your job.

Do what now?
Adolph Rupp is the reason Bear Bryant left Kentucky. He didn't want to share the spotlight with a football coach.

Nope, he's worshipped up there. He'll get all the time he needs to build up the program

That is the public story, not necessarily the truth. The old man was in sports and friends with both. The reality is not always what make the history books.

The story is a Cadillac and watch.

See what I mean, it has been retold so many times even you believe the misconception…
Try reading this LINK
Read the whole thing, but here is the HL clipping
PS, it was a lighter, not a watch and Bear used the lighter to show potential recruits from Kentucky when recruiting in KY.
The problem is when the folks who know the real story die off and this crap you spew gets accepted as fact by folk who can only internet.

I still think he had blackmail pictures of somebody to stay as long as he did. That, or he was Alabama's Billy Clyde.

Meyer has tOSU rolling and is a better coach than Harbaugh. I don't see many Urban coached teams losing to him.

Oh, i don't believe it. But the bear was never going to be upstaged. He was also always biding his time for the Alabama job.

Back then he was not going to be upstaged. The big CC in LEX back then was full of global folks with lots of $$. By the 70's they had let too many locals in and they ran it into the ground but back then a membership was like Spurrier getting Augusta as a perk for the SC job. Some of those folks were unhappy the Bear could not beat UT.
Pat had the UK job before the idiot AD said no to her moving expenses. The truth is often better than the fiction. Bear's daughter was dating an old southern family who had a wing in CKY. Had he beaten UT it would not have been hard to see him putting down roots there.

Nah, he's crushing teams not named OSU. I think they'll struggle this year though. They lost a ton of talent.
Posted on 5/28/17 at 7:56 pm to BamaNatureBoy
no he wont get fired unless he's playing in Dec 28th type bowl games. As long as he's at Michigan he'll be in contention for the top 2 in that league.

The reality is that if Harbaugh doesn't break through in the next 2-3 years and win the B1G and make the playoffs, he will get frustrated and go back to the NFL. He won't stay at a job where he can't be successful at the highest level.

He has never been successful at the highest level anywhere yet
Not at Stanford or the 49ers
Unless you want to take his Orange Bowl victory over an overmatched Va Tech team or his Super Bowl run against an average NFC prior to Seattle and after Green Bay's defense fell apart in 2012 and 2013
