When TTUN was beating the Ohio State Buckeyes, it was only because the Wolverines were cheating. They were punished for the largest cheating scandal in the modern history of college football under Harbaugh's watch. It's why Harbaugh won't ever be allowed back in the college game again.

Harbaugh tried to flee punishment from the NCAA by heading to the NFL. He decided to take the Los Angeles Chargers job, which went well for a little bit in the regular season. Now, Harbaugh is finding it hard to win when he can't cheat as he did in the NFL, which could cost him his job.

Jim Harbaugh is still winless as the head coach of the Chargers this year

So far this season, the Chargers have yet to win a game in the NFL. They have started out 0-4 after losing to the Seahawks in Week 4. It marked another disappointing loss for the Chargers this season, and it's getting to the point that the fans are calling for a head coaching change.

In his tenure with the Chargers, Harbaugh has yet to win a playoff game. This season, he has a new offensive coordinator, and it doesn't seem to matter. He can't find the win column, and Ohio State football fans have been happy to see that. The Buckeyes will forever hate Harbaugh from his time as a player and a coach.

If Harbaugh were to be canned, he wouldn't have anywhere to go. He can't get a college football head coach job because he still has a show-cause. He certainly wouldn't get another head coaching job in the NFL after being fired as a head coach. It seems that he would be stuck doing nothing for a while.

Ohio State fans won't be too sad if Harbaugh does get fired at some point this season. Of course, the NFL season is long, and Harbaugh was paid a lot of money to become the new head coach. Still, the fans will only take so much losing, even with a team like the Chargers.

Ohio State fans love to watch all of the Michigan misery

Harbaugh not being able to win a game isn't the only thing that fans of the Buckeyes have been happy to see. TTUN continues to struggle itself. They have now lost two straight games after losing to Minnesota. They should have lost the season opener against Western Michigan, as well.

The combination of Ohio State beating big teams by a large margin and having TTUN lose as many games as they have has been great. The only thing that would make it better is if the Ohio State Buckeyes can take down the Wolverines in the final game of the season in the Shoe.

Right now, Ryan Day isn't focused on that. He's focused on winning games in what is the toughest stretch of the Buckeyes' season. Ohio State plays three ranked teams in the next four weeks. Winning those games will prove that the fourth quarter of the Texas game was an aberration.
