Hiring Jim Harbaugh as head coach is supposed to do a lot of things for the Michigan Wolverines, and snapping an 11-year Big Ten Championship drought has to be on top of his list.
The Wolverines haven’t tasted league supremacy since 2004. Well, not since 2003, really—they shared the 2004 banner with Iowa after winning it outright in 2003.
But at this point, that’s merely splitting hairs for a team that’s struggled to adapt to the rapidly-changing Big Ten. That’s just pointing out the obvious for a team that hasn't been nationally relevant since 2006.
It's been a long time.
