I'm confident he was the biggest reason for the shit show we witnessed this season. What worries me is that Harbaugh saw enough in him to give him reign as passing game coordinator. Maybe he interviews really well? I remember people talking about how incredibly knowledgeable Darrell Funk was with OL and he was terrible at his job. Enos seems like an average hire, but anyone will do better than pep.

Just make Harbaugh the QBs coach already and find a WR coach. Then if the QBs stink the joint up next year we can demote him to analyst. Seriously though, keeping Bush and Partridge for recruiting purposes would be nice. The loss of Frey may cost us in recruiting too.

I always hesitate to put the blame solely on one assistant / coordinator, especially in these situations where it is being done by committee. It may very well be the idea of a triumverate calling plays, or one person within it - we'll likely never be able to break down the problem to that level. 

Regardless of whether or not Pep stays, I trust Jim Harbaugh to put the best possible staff on offense together for 2018 and that he certainly knows with far more granularity than we ever will the issues of 2017.

Everybody is blaming Drevno and Pep for the Michigan offense this year. Truthfully, 100% of the blame is on Jim Harbaugh. He is a HEAD COACH and NOT a coordinator. He should hire ONE OC and let them develop their identity and the players in their system. Instead, UM has allowed him as their great savior to act like a kid in a candy store by hiring his friends and family to coach. It’s past the point of ridiculous at this point.

I wonder if this Amazon doc. will actually show us what was really wrong with the passing game. Was it Pep or Drev? Some of you guys made a pretty good example of QB play under Pep, every QB got worse with time under Hamilton, Play calling was atrocious could of been either Drevno or Harbaugh we honestly don’t know and won’t until this fall.

Gruden hired Greg Olson as his OC yesterday.  Unless gruden sees Hamilton as a QB guru.  Which would be something no one on this blog believes or "sees".  Hasn't happened yet.

Are you people so god dam clueless that it’s Jim calling the shots on offense? It’s as if you enjoy having your head buried 15 feet in the sand. Holy hell.

It's pretty simple: people with Pep's level of experience are rare in CFB and the NFL, so he will always have a job, regardless of the results.

The confusion displayed on the 'TE dive' popped up throughout the season.  The most logical explanation is the 'too many cooks' theory, but Harbaugh has used that approach successfully before, so it may not hold up to scrutiny.

If I was a beat writer, my #1 question for Harbaugh would be what he learned this season.  With the exception of the weird last year in SF, this is the first time one of his teams have taken a significant step back, right?  He's said that they weren't good enough, but I would like to see more acknowledgment that things got off track offensively and get some insight into how he plans on fixing that.
