Bring Mike Hart Home!!
Right along with Nick Sheridan and Tom Allen.
Allen has two QB's starting in the B1G -- who is the QB whisperer? The guy is spinning gold out of straw. He would be affordable and knows the turf.
And have you seen his motivational speeches. A bit crazy but entertaining as hell.
November 14th, 2020 at 2:01 PM ^
Piping hot!
November 14th, 2020 at 2:04 PM ^
Better than the Harbaugh Mannequin we have right now.
November 14th, 2020 at 2:23 PM ^
I am as big an Harbaugh apologist as anyone. IF he does leave, in whatever fashion...... What about this guy as a replacement?
Jim Leonhard?
November 14th, 2020 at 2:39 PM ^
Will he bring Wisconsin's offensive philosophy with him?
No, thank you.
November 14th, 2020 at 2:47 PM ^
Would that bother you if he did? We could easily assimilate. You like his Defensive Philosophy?
November 14th, 2020 at 3:34 PM ^
The big knock against Jim has always been that he can't compete in big games. There's a reason there are zero elite teams that run Wisconsin's offensive system.
November 14th, 2020 at 3:38 PM ^
Keep Gattis.
November 14th, 2020 at 6:15 PM ^
Yea cause our turd of an offense under Harbaugh has been so great.
November 14th, 2020 at 3:21 PM ^
OR, we can completely sellout, get off our moral high horse and get Hugh Freeze.
He's killing it at freaking LIBERTY.
November 14th, 2020 at 3:37 PM ^
Killing it at Liberty is very different from killing it in a real conference. At Ole Miss Freeze went:
7-6
8-5
9-4
10-3
0-7
Most of those wins were vacated. If we're going to fire our coach who usually wins 9-10 games, let's not fire him for someone who was mediocre when he was in a real conference.
November 14th, 2020 at 3:41 PM ^
And how many times did Freeze beat Alabama!? I would take 7-10 wins a year with beating our hated rival every 2-3 years all day long.
November 14th, 2020 at 3:46 PM ^
I guess we have different priorities. Personally, I watch football to be entertained. Crappy 7-6 teams aren't fun to watch even if they beat their rivals. This place melted the hell down when Harbaugh won 8 games in 2017. People were losing their minds before the OSU loss.
November 14th, 2020 at 3:57 PM ^
You are entertained with the teams Michigan has fielded? Especially the last 2-3 years?
So having a crappy / mediocre season with meaningless wins and losing to our rivals is a better option?
November 14th, 2020 at 4:31 PM ^
argh. "crappy / mediocre seasons blah blah blah" or hire hugh goddamned freeze or some similar scumbag? spare me, those are obviously not the only two choices.
November 14th, 2020 at 4:37 PM ^
That is how Hugh Freeze did while cheating so blatantly that he soon got caught in an embarrassing fashion. Given the leadership at Liberty, he is probably doing the same thing and will soon sink their program.
The last thing we need is some pious hypocritical asshole for a coach. He would be a worse cultural fit than Rich Rod. It would be an exaggerated version of Tommy Tuberville going to Cincinnati.
November 14th, 2020 at 4:17 PM ^
Hugh is that you?
November 14th, 2020 at 4:18 PM ^
Yes, it is me. If you need strippers or football wins please call me.
November 14th, 2020 at 5:39 PM ^
If we're gonna sell out, it better be for no one less than Urban Meyer.
November 14th, 2020 at 3:38 PM ^
No one outside of Michigan fans want Mike Hart. If you want a real football coach, dude is tainted I agree, hire Hugh Freeze. Dude had Liberty, freaking Liberty, ranked.
I don’t care if I like our next football coach. I don’t care if our next football coach is aware of our traditions. I don’t care if he agrees MI vs OSU is the greatest rivalry in football. I just want to win. This crap fake integrity that Michigan propagates is the arrogance that has us where we are.
November 14th, 2020 at 3:59 PM ^
Can’t think of a worse fit culturally. I don’t think you need to hire a “Michigan Man” but you’re not going to bring in the hypocritical Christian that got let go from his previous job because he got caught lying about strippers.
November 14th, 2020 at 4:13 PM ^
What culture is there at Michigan, but to bring in a “Michigan Man” come Hell or high water? It’s the culture at Michigan that is killing our program. Michigan culture torpedoed Rich Rod. Michigan. Culture hired Brady Hoke.
If you want a successful football program, I can’t think of a worse culture to try and emulate than “Michigan Culture”.
November 14th, 2020 at 4:51 PM ^
The Michigan Man meme does have to go, I mean Bo wasn't a Michigan Man until he was. That said, Michigan as a University, as a whole, is about prestige and class and we can't go hiring a guy lacking in integrity. There's gotta be a guy out there who brings in a healthy winning culture that we can be proud of. I haven't heard anything bad from is Matt Campbell, the coach at ISU. He's from Ohio so we could get some recruits from there, and he's done a good job there. He seems like he'd be a good hire, if we could pull him away from the Cyclones
November 14th, 2020 at 5:21 PM ^
If we can pull him away from the Cyclones? We are talking Iowa State football, right? If we can not pull a coach from there it really truly is hopeless.
November 14th, 2020 at 5:37 PM ^
What is it with all the fascination with Matt Campbell around here? Is a mediocre coach in the Big 12 the best we can do? You think just because he’s from Ohio that he’ll be able to recruit Ohio well? Seems like the kind of hire that 1/2 the fan base is ok with because we do things ‘right’ but still suck. When will people come to grips with the fact that Michigan ‘cheats’ too? Maybe not to the extent that others do, but I’d bet my life that UM isn’t a completely clean program...
November 15th, 2020 at 12:59 PM ^
Iowa St is in the bottom 5 of Power conference jobs. They have not won a conference title since 1912. The most conference wins they’ve ever had is 6. The most wins they’ve ever had in a single season is 9. They’ve only won 8+ games 10 times and Campbell has two of them (with a chance to get a third this year). It’s a shit job.
November 14th, 2020 at 5:45 PM ^
He is 31-27 at Iowa State. What in the name of Brady Hoke has that sounding good to you?
November 14th, 2020 at 6:30 PM ^
As much or more than anything else, RichRod torpedoed RichRod. He wasted and then ruined a good defense he inherited from Lloyd Carr. How the hell do you go 3-9 with that defense other that incompetence?!
November 14th, 2020 at 7:21 PM ^
Rich Rod giving zero fucks about having a decent defense torpedoed Rich Rod.
Rich Rod not being able to win big games torpedoed Rich Rod.
Sound familiar? It does to me.
Do a real freaking coaching search. Hire an up-and-comer with an innovative offense and one that focuses on sound defense. No, I don't know who that is, but they're out there, and Michigan has the resources to find him, if they care to.
November 14th, 2020 at 4:12 PM ^
I'm just glad you don't have any say so with the program. You constantly say outlandish things, and bitch endlessly. That's how I know you're a Michigan Fan.
November 14th, 2020 at 4:17 PM ^
And thank God you don’t have any say so with Michigan’s program. If you did, there would be a mold of Harbaugh’s scrotum that the team would have to rub before hitting the field with the entire Michigan crowd bowing before the “god of Jimmie” that has done so much for our program that we should be so lucky he is here. That’s how I know you’re a Michigan fan.
November 14th, 2020 at 6:08 PM ^
making my point for me
November 14th, 2020 at 4:21 PM ^
I want nothing to do with anyone from Liberty. Fuck that place and fuck Hugh Freeze. I’d never watch another game.
November 14th, 2020 at 4:28 PM ^
I don’t care if it’s Freeze or Fickel....or another coach that can actually win games. I just want a coach that will make an impact for our football program.
If I could think of one word to sum up Harbaugh’s tenure at Michigan it would be “Meaningless”.
November 14th, 2020 at 4:31 PM ^
I have mentally moved on from Harbaugh. My only no idea a Hugh Freeze/Petrino type.
November 14th, 2020 at 4:38 PM ^
I wouldn’t prefer Freeze either. I simply have no faith in Michigan to make a competent hire or adequately support and back an adequate hire.
November 14th, 2020 at 4:41 PM ^
So what the fuck is the point of all this?
November 14th, 2020 at 4:45 PM ^
Koala bears playing badminton is the point! Cmon man! What don’t you get!?
November 14th, 2020 at 7:14 PM ^
It's not fake. Unless you want to gloss over Demar Dorsey for RR. The admin blocked him from coming here. Yet OSU would take him. It's not as extreme as believed, but it's real and does have a small effect.
November 14th, 2020 at 2:06 PM ^
Also worse, but slightly less worse.
November 14th, 2020 at 2:07 PM ^
Also worse, but slightly less worse.
November 14th, 2020 at 2:19 PM ^
I’m bringing you back, daddy
November 14th, 2020 at 2:11 PM ^
Are exclamation marks a thing now? When did all caps go out of style?
November 14th, 2020 at 2:20 PM ^
WHY NOT BOTH???!!!!!
November 14th, 2020 at 2:11 PM ^
Let’s continue the strange obsession with hiring former players and assistants.
November 14th, 2020 at 2:14 PM ^
It's a matter of time with Mike Hart returning to Michigan. He'd need to become an OC. That's his next move up. After that he'd be a HC at a MAC sized school so it might take some time.
No doubt that Allen is ascending. There's a lot of OC & DC young talent out there that Michigan can tap into if and when the time comes.
November 14th, 2020 at 2:14 PM ^
Harbaugh has two QB’s starting as well. See? I can throw crap against the wall too.
November 14th, 2020 at 2:21 PM ^
Let me edit that by adding "good".
I think Milton has potential with better play calling (from a staff that is not trying to have him channel his best John Navarre!).
I'm not anti-Gattis but feel he's being entombed in the Harbaugh sarcophagus.
November 14th, 2020 at 2:41 PM ^
What "good" quarterbacks are you talking about? Peyton Ramsey at Northwestern? He's averaging 6.8 yards/attempt with 3 TD and 3 INT.
That's not "good."
November 14th, 2020 at 2:46 PM ^
Here are Ramsey's rankings in the Big Ten:
#5 in completion percentage
#9 in yards per attempt
#9 in interceptions
#9 in passer rating
#10 in yards
#10 (tie) in touchdowns
November 14th, 2020 at 5:42 PM ^
But he's a starter?
