Hot. Very hot. The answer to the question is white-hot … and then some.
In all seriousness, no one in the Big Ten has a hotter seat than Jim Harbaugh, and for good reason, considering the dismal 2-4 season Michigan had last season. Now, despite the intense roars from the fanbase to get rid of him, it is understandable that Michigan elected to bring him back and basically blame all of 2020 on COVID-19, restructured contract and all.
If we really take a dive into Harbaugh’s resume, it is not that bad, but during his tenure, Michigan has not only lost to Ohio State every year, but the Wolverines get demolished in an embarrassing fashion more often than not. After looking into their roster compared to what the Buckeyes have and it’s pretty clear 2021 will be another bloodbath.
Jim Harbaugh is entering his 7th year as head coach, Urban Meyer coached 7 years at Ohio State. Comparison between them:

We’re not wishing bad things on Harbaugh at all. I mean, as long as he’s in Ann Arbor, the tide will seemingly never turn back towards the maize and blue.
