This average was before Dabo got them rolling as a top 5 program.

ACC was shitty then but is a good league now and he can’t do shite so he will leave and REALLY get his shite pushed in. Bank on it.

Nah, Jimbo is a better coach. I don't know what happened to Tommy Bowden, but somewhere along the way, he became too conventional a coach. Also, like his brother, he just couldn't recruit like his dad. One of the reasons I think the Bowden boys thrive in lower jobs and not Power jobs is that they don't need to recruit at a North Alabama or a Tulane like you do at Auburn or Clemson.

Before Dabo? Dabo has turned the tide the past three years but all of Jimbo's conference titles came while beating Dabo at Clemson and some very good Clemson at that

Before Dabo got Clemson rolling as a top 5 program is what I meant. Now edited for clarification.

What has Harbaugh done to get in this discussion? 0-3 against OSU and 1-2 against Sparty.

From '05 to '09 FSU win totals: 8, 7, 7, 9, 7. In those 5 years, they were ranked twice, 21st & 23rd. They won 0 division titles, let alone any conference titles. That was a top 5 program?

Tell me I'm wrong.


Agree 100%. He wouldn't have a natty if AU didn't pull two miracle plays to beat UGA and Bama. In todays format they would've lost. And their were probably 4-5 teams better than Auburn and FSU that year imo.

One of these is not like the others.

I was a big fan of Harbaugh when he went to Michigan, but he has not delivered. He needs to do more than just beat the teams he should and lose to tOSU, MSU, and any other team with a pulse.

Just two weeks ago, Michigan was actually considering a lifetime contract for Harbaugh. He was certainly a dream hire and great on paper, and maybe he'll eventually fulfill that promise, but sheesh, they've seen absolutely nothing justifying a lifetime contract yet.

Gus is equal to Tuberville in his prime. Bama was down though.
