'Yeah, (coach Jim Harbaugh) sounded like a snitch to some, or a teacher’s pet, or whatever pejorative you prefer. But he was also right. No team should get extra time to coach its players,' writes shawnwindsor.

But Michigan's coach doesn’t operate that way. Never has. This is the same coach, after all, who has questioned rival schools on Twitter, suggesting they were breaking recruiting rules, the same coach who wore his cleats inside a recruit’s home, over hardwood floors, to prove … he likes football?Wilson, a lineman, ended up at Georgia. He was put off by the cleats. That’s fine. He also said no to Alabama because Nick Saban didn’t hug him.

So, no, Harbaugh wasn’t being petty, he just wasn’t showing much tact, and likely didn’t care, because he thought a rule had been broken, and he’s tired of playing by them when not everyone else always does. Yes, it’s fun when Day essentially gives Harbaugh the middle finger in response, then doubles down with his team later about how the Wolverines will get theirs when the teams meet up again. It’s a chunk of red meat, good for analysts and fans and columnists.At some point the Michigan coach would help himself by beating Ohio State — he's 0-for-5 so far. Then again, the programs are separated by a chasm of talent and expectation and, dare I say, resignation.

Who among the Wolverine faithful didn’t see Day’s quote about 100 points and didn’t cringe because they know it’s possible? At this point, the Maize and Blue supporters just want to be competitive with the Buckeyes. Harbaugh won’t ever slide into resignation, which is why he called out Day on Monday. Yeah, he sounded like a snitch to some, or a teacher’s pet, or whatever pejorative you prefer. But he was also right. No team should get extra time to coach its players.Contact Shawn Windsor at or swindsor@freepress.com. Follow him on Twitter @shawnwindsor.
