Fair enough. And I acknowledged this as a question about giving coaches time.
That said, he's been the head corch of one of the most venerable 'brands' in cfb and has shit the bed until this year.
Put another way, Mario Cristobal has, rather easily, accomplished more at Oregon than Harbaugh has at Michigan to date.
I wouldn't crown his ass just yet. Take it easy fella.

Does this mean the Utah/Oregon winner plays either Iowa or Michigan State in the Rose Bowl?

Coach Of The Year:[/b] Jim Harbaugh, Michigan
The narrative arc of Harbaugh through 2021 has been one of the great success stories of the year. After finishing last season at 2-4 with plenty of hot seat-related noise, Harbaugh agreed to a new four-year deal with the school in January that featured a decreased base salary and heavy incentives for reaching goals. When asked about his winless record against Ohio State as a coach, Harbaugh indicated that the effort would involve beating the Buckeyes or he would "die trying".
Fast forward to early December 2021, and Harbaugh has not only beaten Ohio State but led the program to its first outright Big Ten championship since 2003. Michigan is the No. 2 seed in the playoff, and no one is questioning whether Harbaugh is the best coach to lead this program.
How did he do it? It starts with identifying talent and fit, not just in recruiting for this current roster but on the coaching staff as well. Year 2 with Josh Gattis has paid off with a ruthlessly efficient offense and a Broyles Award for the offensive coordinator. The offseason hire of Mike Macdonald to replace longtime Harbaugh assistant Don Brown has resulted in a top-10 defense as well.
In this era where even the best coaches in the game seem less tied to their current position than ever before, is there any fan base (other than Alabama) that feels more secure in its coaching situation than Michigan? Harbaugh started the year putting the program's best interests at the forefront, and the on-field success that's followed is one of the best stories in college football.
