The Michigan offense has taken on a couple different looks in the past decade. From the traditional pro style offense under Lloyd Carr, to the installation of the spread offense under Rich Rodriguez, and back to the power run offense under Brady Hoke, Michigan has seemed to be in constant transition in recent years, with no clear identity. Jim Harbaugh’s arrival in Ann Arbor should firmly establish an offensive identity at Michigan, and that is smashmouth, power football.
Harbaugh is a "Michigan Man" if there ever was one. When the term "Michigan Man" is uttered, what is really meant, is "Bo Schembechler" man.
