Harbaugh's high-water mark is the Super Bowl. And he beat USC.

Well yes, I was making reference their times at ND and Michigan. Weis was a genius before falling on his face at ND. Same could be said with Harbaugh and Michigan.

Not a ton of luck so far, but I am starting to wonder. Scheme questions aside, it hasn't looked like a well-coached team, or one that just steps up and makes plays.

I rather hear Talent tell us to 'stay the course' than to be patronize by an Alabama fan -

Correct. Stay the course.

One week into the 2018 season and the criticism is already ratcheting up for Michigan and coach Jim Harbaugh. The Wolverines lost to Notre Dame on Saturday 24-17, though the score didn't reflect how one-sided the game really was. The Fighting Irish stymied Michigan from ever getting anything going offensively.

Braylon Edwards, decided to take to the Twitter streets. He called out center Cesar Ruiz for being "weak" and said Ole Miss transfer quarterback Shea Patterson was "scared." He then called the Michigan program "trash."

Harbaugh was asked about Edwards' comments.

"Number one, first of all, it's not true. It's not factual. There's nobody in our program who thinks those things about any player on our team, let alone the two players he describes," Harbaugh said. "On the other level, it's disappointing that a member of the Big Ten Network would choose to attack the character to our players. It's disappointing."

"If someone else wants to attack the character of anybody on our ball club, come after me," he continued. "It's not true. And nobody in the program thinks that about any player on our team. Just so you know, that's not coming from anybody inside here."

However, Edwards' suspension has not stopped him from tweeting about Michigan's state of the program.

Braylon Edwards?@OfficialBraylon
So funny that everyone is worried my tweet as opposed to the real issue, 0-17 on the road against ranked opponents, 1-6 against rivals and the one win was against a 3-9 MSU. Last thing i will ask and really think about this before you get mad...is Michigan better than Iowa?

Edwards' rant reflects the growing frustrations with Harbaugh. Michigan is on a four-game losing streak dating back to last season. The offense could continue to be a major liability, too, if it doesn't show improvement. It's Year 4 and the lack of even a Big Ten East title or a win against major rivals is hurting Harbaugh.

Edwards made some valid points. His only mistake was insulting some players by name. Otherwise, he wasn't wrong.

[Rocky Bleier]

We bought into what the players and coaches were telling us about their improvement. In reality it's basically the same team as last year with a different quarterback. The defense misses Mo Hurst, and the offense misses Mason Cole. The additions of Ben Herbert, Ed Warriner, and Jim McElwain are all positive, but some things will remain a problem. Talent is lacking on the 0-line, and in the offensive and defensive backfields. Is anyone really excited about Metellus and Gill? Higdon and Evans are okay, but neither is elite. Shea Patterson is an upgrade, but he's not a first round draft choice either.

Braylon is right. 100%. Too bad he had to lose his job over it.

Firing guys for telling harsh truths is how you end up wirh announcers who do nothing but spew banal crap.

The talent hasn't been consistently the same, nor has the coaching. But the results have. Constant variables: HC, scheme.

You probably already watched it. Last year's Cincinnati or Air Force games.
