The mental pretzel some of them are twisting themselves into is something else. Every excuse imaginable has been floated.Am just very amused watching fans try to rationalize he didn't lie to their fucking gface when he said he wouldn't do this again next year last year. Even if he comes back the myth of Harbaugh being too honest for his own good is broken.
I'll be totally honest - I can totally get why he might be frustrated with the college game, outside of his current NCAA issues. scUM has been slow to embrace NIL and with that, it's now even less of a level playing field than it's ever been before. From a simple performance perspective, I think it's pretty clear ttun has hit their ceiling. And that's not to say playoffs are a bad ceiling, but if he wants to win rings, I do not see that happening for him in Ann arbor (whore). He's had two runs at it and in the first, he was thoroughly outclassed by an SEC powerhouse, in the second he managed to be out coached by Sonny freakin' Dykes and lost to (arguably) the worst playoff participant in the nine years of the CFP.
For him looking at NFL jobs, his logic is sound. But he definitively said it wasn't going to happen again after last year's fiasco, he's doing the same shit eleven months later, and large portions of the DFBIA are defending him. Guess what? If he doesn't get a job this time, he'll be right back in this same spot next January. Good luck with that. Their best hope is for him to get an NFL job, hire somebody internally as interim, and spend the next 11+ months looking for the next guy.
