Here’s what Farrell wrote about why he thinks Harbaugh is the No. 1 most overrated coach above Lane Kiffin, Kirk Ferentz and others:
1. Jim Harbaugh, Michigan – Harbaugh is the clear winner here. In fact, in an anonymous CBS Sports poll of college coaches asking who the most overrated was, Harbaugh was the clear No. 1 among his peers. Records of 28-11 and 18-8 in conference aren’t bad at all in the Big Ten, but he hasn’t finished higher than third in his own division and he makes a boatload of money. I’m as guilty as anyone for overrating him, as I had him as the fifth-best coach in the country heading into last year. But I’m starting to scratch my head a bit.
