Michigan Thursday: Is Jimmy On The Hot Seat?

The answer is no.

Why?

University of Michigan President Mark Schlissel, during a Detroit Economic Club luncheon Wednesday in Detroit, was apparently asked about Harbaugh's status as head football coach. "I would confront the premise," Schlissel said. "He's not on the hot seat. He's under contract for four more years."

Second:  We know he is a good coach and just hasn't figured out how to turn this battleship.   He turned Stanford Football into a real program and took the 49'ers to the Super Bowl.   I'm not comparing Coach K with Jimmy (the point is it takes time), but Coach K won about 50% of his games for 5 years at Army before getting the Duke job.   It took him 3 years at Duke before becoming the best college basketball coach ever.

Dabo has been the head coach at Clemson since 2008.  He was on the hot seat every year.   Now he has one of the top programs in the country.

Each situation is different and if anyone as earned some rope it's Jimmy.   Has the results to date been disappointing?  Yes, they have.  Still it's not time to panic and I rather stay on this journey with Jimmy then start anew with someone else.

• My guess is they give Jon Runyan another shot on Saturday and if he continues to struggle, we will see another LT in there before the end of the game. 

• Michigan Basketball Season Tickets has the highest sales in 18 years. 

• Casey Hughes the Utah transfer is back practicing with the cornerbacks.  He has a wrist injury and currently wearing a soft cast.
