I said after Bufkin and HD left that this looked like an Ellerbe team on paper, and that might be an overestimate. It is weird because if Howard had his first two years with, say, that Miami, then he is an obvious hire for his alma mater. Maybe Beilein left that good of a roster, once you tack on Franz Wagner, but this is just a total collapse. The question now isnt so much whether to fire him as when.

He will, absolutely. The off-season is about whether Juwan makes any roster and coaching changes. I have no hope for next year but he will most likely get it, so hopefully any changes made are good ones for the program. I’d definitely bring in a defensive specialist asst coach.

This is the first time this season I have seen Purdue play. They are as good as advertised. Add in playing at Mackey and no Dug and you get the first half. This game can’t end soon enough.

Its not even comical at this point. Its just fucking pathetic what Howard has done to this program.

Fire his ass tonight. Don't let him coach another game.

Why can't Harbaugh just sign with a team right away and get it over with?  I think dragging things on and deflecting is his kink.  I bet his wife is like "Hey honey, you wanna bang and stuff" and he's like "well no man knows the future, but I hope to get laid" and she's like "hey, maybe we can focus on what we can control and have an attitude of gratitude, wink wink" and he's like "Well, it's really all about the experience and I'm gonna embrace the now. Talk to this guy". You think it goes down like that? I do. I think he gets rocked up by saying shit without saying shit.

If that half of basketball doesn’t solidify the idea that we need a new direction then I don’t know what the fuck you are watching. Yes, Purdue is good! They are at the top of the conference, if not country. But Michigan is squarely at the bottom of the conference standings and being punked like a joke. Sorry, defenders of the indefensible, but a premier program like Michigan should never be cellar dwellers in a conference with the likes of Nebraska, Penn St, Rutgers, Northwestern, to name a few.

This team and Juwan are a fucking disgrace to this university. I’m hoping Sherrone turns out to be a good coach because Warde’s legacy will be hiring Juwan and running Harbaugh out of town.
