Michigan Thursday: Is Jimmy On The Hot Seat?

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.
