Comprehensive Failure in Wisconsin Is Jim Harbaugh's Rock Bottom at Michigan

MADISON, Wis. — Outcoached. Outplayed. Outclassed.

From the first drive of the should-be Big Ten showdown, Jim Harbaugh and his Michigan Wolverines hardly put up a fight. What happened Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium was a complete, thorough 60-minute disaster.

Patience had already been running thin for Harbaugh. But after this meltdown in Madison, perhaps it would be best to shorten the opening sequence of words to the common element.

Out.

Harbaugh deserved time to reset an unstable program. He exceeded initial expectations. He stocked the roster with its highest-ranked talent since the Lloyd Carr era.
