Michigan Football: 3 overreactions from the Indiana loss
By Nick Popio
3. Jim Harbaugh fears Curt Cignetti
O.K. I know this is a joke, or at least it should be, but it's still an overreaction nonetheless. If Harbaugh is on the sidelines for his alma mater on Saturday, then Michigan football probably wins this game.
The two have some similarities in their coaching styles. They both rub people the wrong way and are sons of coaches. Cignetti has worked his way up the coaching ranks, but doesn't hold a championship like Harbaugh does. When and if he leaves Indiana for a higher profile job, Cignetti will have his choice of where he wants to go and may win one someday in the near future.
Increasingly clear to me that Jim Harbaugh left for the NFL because he feared Curt Cignetti

Cignetti has never had a losing season, unlike Harbaugh. Would he consider a jump to the NFL if the price was right? He's a brash coach who is very confident in his abilities and he has backed it up his entire career. One day Cignetti may be the next Harbaugh when all the dust settles.
