Specifically, the term “fit” is often used when talking about college football head coaches. In the case of Rutgers’ Greg Schiano and Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh, the term is apropos. Schiano led Rutgers to its greatest NCAA Football betting era in his first stint as head man. Since his return, the program quickly got serious again. Harbaugh has been better than his critics concede at Michigan. Further, this year’s team has that tough-as-nails old-school look Harbaugh covets. Michigan meets Rutgers Saturday in what could be the most physical game on the college card.
