How Bo Schembechler became a Michigan football icon

After some lean seasons under Rich Rodriguez and Brady Hoke, Jim Harbaugh appears to be on the road toward straightening out Michigan's football program. Harbaugh led his alma mater to 10-3 records in each of his first two seasons while accomplishing something that hadn't been done in more than 100 years. Not since the legendary Fielding Yost led the Wolverines to consecutive 11-0 records in 1901-02 has a Michigan head coach won at least 10 game in his first two seasons.

Lloyd Carr, who won the Michigan's last national championship in 1997 didn't do it. Fritz Crisler and Bennie Oosterbaan didn't.
