In an admittedly lengthy episode, we review how Michigan has gotten to this point, what’s next and tackle listener questions about Jim Harbaugh, Don Brown and more.

We open by resetting our conversation from Sunday’s episode, looking at the seat temperatures of Brown and Harbaugh. We then go big picture and look at what has gone the most wrong in the Jim Harbaugh era, diving into defensive tackle woes, slow-to-adapt offenses and defenses and possible program-wide overconfidence. We also look at the recruiting side of things, discussing arguable shortcomings at defensive tackle, cornerback, quarterback and more.

In the second half of the show, we do more coaching-change discussions. We look at the viability of firing an assistant midseason, why the cons outweigh the pros to waiting until the season ends, what we would do in Michigan’s shoes with Don Brown and a potential Notre Dame comparison.

We then discuss Jim Harbaugh’s status with the program, including what we think will happen, coaching candidates we’d look at first if he left, what is going through Harbaugh’s mind and the Athletic Department’s role in what has happened to Michigan and what’s next.
