Two Februarys ago, Jim Harbaugh brought in wrestling legend Ric Flair to fire up the Michigan faithful.
The only people yelling “Woo!” now are Ohio State fans.
McElwain spent the past three years in Gainesville auditioning for the title of “College Football’s Most Overrated Coach.” He will be in charge of wide receivers at Michigan, so there’s only so much harm he can do.
But neither McElwain nor his new boss were supposed to be in this position, and his hiring is a symptom of larger problems in Ann Arbor.
Harbaugh was hailed as the Wolverines’ $9-million-a-year savior from the NFL.
