Simultaneous FML post! Win!
January 7th, 2011 at 8:11 PM ^
I wish it were a win :(
If DB doesn't pull out a magical jackrabbit not names Hoke or Miles, then he has seriously lost a lot of credibility with me. He promised something not expected, but great. Niether are they.
January 7th, 2011 at 8:12 PM ^
DOOM on all fronts. The Pimp Hand was a lie.
January 7th, 2011 at 8:48 PM ^
The legend (now myth) of the pimp hand was our only salvation. The curtain has been drawn back and Oz is revealed. Devastating. Can Barwis coach?
January 7th, 2011 at 10:05 PM ^

With each passing day the next best coaching option goes up in smoke. It is looking more and more likely that my former high school coach has a legitimate chance at landing this job.
January 7th, 2011 at 10:36 PM ^
January 7th, 2011 at 11:20 PM ^
Well, if SHE is runnin the spread...then sign me up!!
January 8th, 2011 at 2:28 AM ^
We as Michigan fans lie to ourselves. Whoever is the new guy is the magical savior and a God amongst men. I've seen it now with Rodriguez, Barwis and Brandon.
January 8th, 2011 at 4:14 AM ^
You mean he hasn't already lost serious credibility with you? Even if he has a master plan that ends up brilliantly, three weeks looking like we have no idea what we're doing seriously hurts whatever brand he wants to establish. This makes two straight coaching searches in which we've looked like idiots, under two consecutive ADs, and I can't imagine what coach would be stupid enough to volunteer to be DB's rabbit à la Rich Rod for Bill Martin.
January 7th, 2011 at 10:34 PM ^
Let the hilarity ensue. I am guessing the "firm" DB is using to find candidates is getting thin on candidates, as is my patience with DB.
I am going to Vegas to find the American Dream....and maybe a corch. My attorney will fill you in with all the details. Going to go take odds on DB's length as AD. Any takers?
January 8th, 2011 at 12:59 AM ^
Does Brandon have a boat?

Best. Post. Ever.
January 7th, 2011 at 8:30 PM ^
That is absolutely classic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 7th, 2011 at 8:34 PM ^
is the best thing I have seen all day.
January 7th, 2011 at 8:38 PM ^
That's excellent. Trying to laugh through the pain...
January 7th, 2011 at 8:49 PM ^
When I saw BOFINDER I also thought "Bowfinger", Eddie's great in that one.
January 7th, 2011 at 9:26 PM ^
of the spot in that movie where steve martin says he wants the best film crew money can buy. Next scene is him driving the van to pick up illegal aliens to be the film crew. I think we are headed in the same direction with this search.

+1 million points for this post

Get your beer goggles ready for the slump-buster!

.....and RR was the pretty cute chick who would have done anything to be with him, including dropping 20 pounds but he didn't want anything to do with her. He'll regret that in 3 years when that sleezy chick bangs another dude.
January 7th, 2011 at 8:54 PM ^
you finally decide to go back to the "sure thing" fat chick only to find she's already hooked up with some other dude. Now you're desperate and you end up with some crack whore (fill in loser name of choice) and you're destined for at least 3 more years of taking what you can get from this skank before starting all over again. BRANDY NOOOOO!!!!
January 7th, 2011 at 10:13 PM ^
I think DB would be going by himself and doing the five-finger-shuffle. There is desperation on both sides(UM for Harbaugh, Hoke for UM). We need to hit a home run with the choice but only have the ability to hit singles. I really like Patterson and Mullen, maybe Fitzgerald, but we'll probably end up with Hoke.
January 7th, 2011 at 11:07 PM ^
This is true for both girlfriends and coaches.
January 7th, 2011 at 9:08 PM ^
Boise State just lost their OC. It would be a good time to go after their HC. Peterson is the best out there right now. Les is too old, Hoke is too fat.
January 7th, 2011 at 10:16 PM ^
Boise State can play some D, so bring the DC with him. He has run a successful program for awhile.
January 8th, 2011 at 8:27 AM ^
chris peterson does not have a cell phone....
seriously,
1) no ties to the midwest
2) plays questionable competition
3) the last two BSU coaches who have gone on to bigger programs have been utter disasters.
nice coach, but i'd rather have Hoke.
January 7th, 2011 at 10:23 PM ^
WE'RE DOOMED!!!

GOD DAMN YOU HARBAUGH

People tend to hate historically bad defense and special teams and not being able to beat good teams in the third year of a regime.
January 8th, 2011 at 4:20 AM ^
Above all, of course, damn Dave Brandon!
January 7th, 2011 at 8:06 PM ^
Shit Fuck Poop
January 7th, 2011 at 8:07 PM ^
Received a contract extension. Brady Hoke has received a contract extension too. Wouldn't the news be if he signed the extension?
January 7th, 2011 at 8:09 PM ^
Good point.
January 7th, 2011 at 9:02 PM ^
he did sign it, read the release
January 7th, 2011 at 8:10 PM ^
I could read it two ways. Either he has no intention of leaving, or TCU's perhaps a little concerned that he might try. I'm not usually an optimist so I'd lean towards the former but you could be right and it doesn't say he's signed it. Worth keeping track of though...
January 7th, 2011 at 8:17 PM ^
Well it is time to....CALL THE MOTHER FUCKER THEN, ISN'T IT DAVE??!!!!11!!!1!!
Get off your Dominoes yacht and DO WORK SON!
January 7th, 2011 at 8:28 PM ^
How long was Brandon CEO of Dominos whose main product was pizza which even by their own advertisements sucked? I think it was close to 10 years. How bad was Dominos pizza? My kids hated it.
So this so called "genius" CEO who ran a food company, again whose primary product people thought tasted horrible, took nearly 10 years to make a change to its recipe. I hope that he blows everybody away with an awesome pick but I think you are right, he is wallowing away on his yacht. Maybe not literally but figuratively.
January 7th, 2011 at 8:32 PM ^
Also literally, for all we know.
January 7th, 2011 at 8:44 PM ^
I think this corporate history is incorrect re: DB. Wasn't he brought in by the buyout firm to turn them around in the, you know, making money way, and did just that in only like 3 years? Also, the commercials were his idea, and I think he saw a problem with their product and swiftly rectified it. By all accounts, he did a good job. So. . . yeah.
January 7th, 2011 at 8:38 PM ^
The goal of Dominos is to make money, not make good pizza.
January 7th, 2011 at 9:02 PM ^
Well, the same can be said for Michigan, the goal of Michigan is to make money, not necessarily to win football games. Granted it's much easier to make money by winning football games, but the primary goal of teams/universities is to make money, much like Dominos.
Right now, Michigan's pizza sucks, they need to pull a Dominos and re-invent themselves and make better pizza. I have 100% faith that they will do this.
January 7th, 2011 at 8:38 PM ^
Valid points, the change's to the pies occured after DB left. His public perception is well very poor at this point,
January 7th, 2011 at 9:11 PM ^
Actually the change was started before Brandon left. Profits did go up after the change:
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Dominos-profit-more-than-apf-3988902247.html?x=0&.v=5
The question remains why did it take so long?
The change was precipitated by a decline in sales in 2009 of 6% - a time when cheaper meals (remember the Great Recession was causing people to go to lower cost foods):

Edit: Forgot to add: Good pizza = good profits. Bad pizza = lower sales thus lower profits.
