When Jim Harbaugh was hired at Michigan in 2015 it was supposed to be a program-changing hire and in some ways it was.
Michigan went from an incredibly mediocre final three years of Brady Hoke where they went just 20-18 and immediately went 10-3 the first year under Harbaugh.
A year later they came within inches of stopping Ohio State in a game that would have gotten them to the Big Ten Championship Game and very likely the College Football Playoff.
But the “big one” is still one Michigan fans are waiting for the Wolverines to win under Harbaugh with his best win to date probably being the 2019 blowout victory over a Notre Dame team who finished 12th in the final Amway Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY.
Since that night things have gone perfectly for Notre Dame as they’ve won 15 straight games and they couldn’t have gone worse for Michigan as the Wolverines are just 5-6 since.
Michigan’s 27-17 loss to previously winless Penn State brings Harbaugh and the Wolverines to an embarrassing 2-4 with only games against Maryland and Ohio State (thoughts and prayers in the direction of Ann Arbor for that one, please) remaining.
We would never find joy in Michigan football struggling at Fighting Irish Wire (OK, that’s a lie – I’ll go to confession tomorrow for it), we do like to point out great research and Tattoo Baker on Twitter did exactly that, compiling the ultimate game-changing play from each of Jim Harbaugh’s now 22 losses at Michigan.
Watch and enjoy as it will probably be the best 2:20 of your day.
