Michigan Football: Grading Jim Harbaugh's 1st 6 Months on the Job

Jim Harbaugh hasn’t met expectations during the first six months of his tenure with the Michigan Wolverines—he’s shattered them. Perhaps “obliterated them” better describes what he’s done since taking over his hobbling alma mater Dec. 30.
