A little less than four years ago, Jim Harbaugh signed the best recruiting class he has had as Michigan’s football coach. He was coming off consecutive 10-win seasons, respectable bowl games, and came within a few inches of beating Ohio State.
He was a hot a commodity, and most in the college football world figured he was just getting started.
He created buzz wherever he went and whenever he opened his mouth or took to Twitter. His presence on the recruiting trail down south so annoyed — and unnerved — SEC coaches they lobbied to change the rules of Harbaugh’s barnstorming, satellite football camps.
