Aside from the current season's disaster, the biggest problem Harbaugh has had at Michigan is that he happened to arrive at a time when Ohio State is enjoying the best run of sustained excellence in their program's history. You could argue that he should've recruited away some Ohio kids and certainly kept some of the Michigan kids who got away, but as some have said above, the program has been solid. But he was hired to beat Ohio State and win national championships. This doesn't absolve him of blame, but it was just bad timing for him.
