The idiot at the Track House, as it's still colloquially called, said, "But Harbaugh smashed West Virginia in his bowl game and Shaw only won his by one point."

To Trackhouse Guy - Harbaugh lost his bowl game this year. Florida thumped Michigan 41-15. Harbaugh's bowl record at Michigan is now 1-3. He is also 0-4 vs. Ohio State, 2-2 vs. Michigan State and 0-1 vs. Notre Dame. He has won no championships at Michigan.

Imagine what would be said about Shaw if he had that kind of record.

I'm critical of Shaw, but because I think he can be BETTER not because I think he should go. He's as stubborn as they come and I think that's his shortcoming. But there's no way in Hell I'm going to say Harbaugh was better. Harbaugh was the coach the program needed at that time, just as Shaw was as his successor. The question I have going forward is can Shaw sustain the level of excellence of his first five years on the job, and I'm skeptical.
