Don’t think for a minute that the Harbaugh tweet wasn’t perfectly planned and executed to perfection. Harbaugh sent the tweet below in the wake of the Mike Weber situation with OSU. If you aren’t aware of the “Weber” situation, let me bring you up to speed. Weber is a Cass Tech running back who chose OSU over Michigan, within 24 hours it was announced that Weber’s position coach was leaving the Buckeyes. Weber tweeted this when he got the word that he had been deceived.
It is also being reported that an OSU beat writer had the story of Buckeye running backs coach Stan Drayton leaving but didn’t report it until after Mike Weber signed with Ohio State. I don’t know what the truth is, but it looks really bad for Ohio State Head Coach Urban Meyer. This type of behavior is exactly the type of stuff that gets coaches banned from High Schools and Cass Tech Head Coach (for U of M running back) Thomas Wilcher said as much over the weekend on WTKA. Which brings me to the execution of the Harbaugh tweet below:
Harbaugh isn’t trying to slam Meyer, he’s laying the groundwork with High School Coaches that Urban Meyer isn’t to be trusted with their kids. It’s a brilliant strategy that nobody has ever exploited against Meyer. I’m not sure anybody in the SEC would have benefited from this, but I think the B1G is a little different in that deception isn’t look upon as a positive. Jim Harbaugh knows he has to find every chink in Meyer’s armor and this may be the perfect place to start chipping away at Meyer’s success in Columbus. It will be interesting to see how this Urban Meyer v. Mike Weber situation plays itself out in 2016.
I personally think Weber is a drama queen who should take his medicine and stick with his commitment. The kid and his parents are clearly high maintenance and I’m of the opinion they would be more of a headache than a positive in Ann Arbor. Here is a nice little missive about Michigan fans that Weber’s mom fired off over the weekend. Good riddance and best of luck in Columbus.
