That's debatable.
Probably... I'm posting hyperbole... but I'll put this out there.
Fitz actually has to deal with the academic restrictions that DFBIA always imagines they're dealing with (just pretend that Kinesiology program doesn't exist).
Northwestern will never recruit on Michigan's level, have their facilities, attract assistants, etc.
Despite those significant disadvantages, he's had about the same amount of success as Harbaugh in the conference. Every couple years he coaches up a group of borderline 2-3 star kids into a pretty decent team. Harbaugh gets the same results with 4 and 5 star kids... can't find a single QB on his own.
Where exactly does Harbaugh fall in coach rankings in the B1G? I'd wager it's not in the top half.
