Amen. Harbaugh is probably my favorite football coach to be a fan of, but I really hope his time in college is short. In no way can it be a positive for Stanford. He succeeded here at Stanford with smart and good football players and while I'm sure he will enjoy the looser admissions requirements, he's still going to want smart and good football players. We may not face off against Michigan too often for recruits now, but if there's a 5 star guy with the grades to make it here, Harbaugh will be all over that. And that's one of the few recruiting battles I think we could lose on a regular basis.
I don't think he'll be at Michigan for more than 4 or 5 years before he's back in the NFL. His competitive streak is too strong to not want to win a Super Bowl, and he's not an autocrat like Saban who fundamentally needs to control everything.
