SUMMER OF TRASH

You may be suffering from football apathy.

Michigan's coming off an abbreviated, 2-4 COVID season and has grim prospects going forward. Michigan chose to reboot the coaching staff without actually making a change at the top. They made an NFL position coach their defensive coordinator and have embarked on a project to change Michigan's heavily man-to-man approach into something resembling a modern, multiple, pattern-matching NFL defense. They're doing this with the same corners they had last year. There's going to be a lot of learning on the job.

On offense, both contenders for the starting QB job last year have transferred. The offensive line coach who everyone thought was great because he took the most broken blitz pickup schemes in the world and wove a superb pass pro offensive line out of them in two years. He's been replaced by a guy who—while a former OL—has no OL coaching experience.

Also Ohio State exists.
