Not so long ago coach Harbaugh mentioned that his Michigan football program is on the cusp of the playoffs, but in reality, it cannot get over the proverbial hump.

For some reason Jim Harbaugh believes Michigan football is on the verge of greatness. Yet in 5 years he hasn’t sniffed a Big Ten title, let alone win the most important game on the schedule.
