I want Greg Roman running a Michigan offense
January 10th, 2021 at 4:06 PM ^
He’s getting NFL HC attention, also he learned it from the Muskegon High Schook HC a lot of those formations are “MuskeGun pistol” might as well get the guy who created it
January 10th, 2021 at 6:44 PM ^
That would be Tony Aneese. He is the current head coach at Ferris State.
January 10th, 2021 at 8:26 PM ^
He’s also a grade ‘A’ piece of shit, which is probably why he’s still at Ferris.
January 10th, 2021 at 9:04 PM ^
Why? On paper, Amisse is amazing, but I don’t know anything about him.
January 11th, 2021 at 9:33 AM ^
If you know the guy, this is one of the nicer things you'd say about him...
January 10th, 2021 at 9:48 PM ^
Used to play against those guys in high school. I think his dad was the head coach.
January 10th, 2021 at 4:07 PM ^
Michigan cant have players performing at this level or a quarterback that good.
January 10th, 2021 at 5:52 PM ^
I mean the offense works because Lamar is incredible. Have a generational talent makes life a lot easier at any level. The offense doesn’t look the same when trace mcsorley or rg3 are in
January 10th, 2021 at 7:56 PM ^
And yet that was Lamar's first playoff win and a lot of credit needs to be given to the Ravens defense for shutting down Tennessee. Jackson is fun to watch, but I'd take Mahomes, Watson, Rogers, Allen and a few others before him simply because those others can win in multiple systems, whereas Jackson is limited to a system built to his unique strengths.
January 10th, 2021 at 4:08 PM ^
He has one of the most dynamic QBs in the league at his disposal. At the end of his 49ers stint, everyone wanted him out, and he did nothing noteworthy in Buffalo.
January 10th, 2021 at 4:29 PM ^
Actually, he was fine at buffalo, though made a scapegoat for a team that had larger problems.
He's good at designing offenses for running QBs; that's pretty clear at this point. I think he'd be very good in college (not a stretch, he was good when he was in college before) and his weaker passing schemes wouldn't be as big of a liability here.
But no idea if he can recruit or develop guys. It takes more than schemes to win games in college. I'd take him if Michigan hired him, though, no doubt about it.
January 10th, 2021 at 4:53 PM ^
He was Stanford’s TE/OT coach before going to the NFL. He was never OC.
January 10th, 2021 at 5:19 PM ^
Good point, OL/running game coordinator. Did well at it, though.
January 11th, 2021 at 8:46 AM ^
Going to go way out in exposing my ignorance, but WTH;
Does it have to be the position coaches who recruit? I'm wondering if you can have a couple of guys who are just either A) really good in an area (the South, or Detroit) or B) just charismatic as hell ( like Hoke) be on the recruiting trail all the time but not be the position coaches.
January 10th, 2021 at 4:52 PM ^
If he were in college he could recruit to the whole "I could see you as the next Lamar" thing. Mattison recurited like that for years with all of his Ravens players. I think Roman could get dynamic QBs.
January 10th, 2021 at 4:58 PM ^
So Macdonald will be able to do that? Bringing up CJ Mosley and Matthew Judon would probably get croots listening.
January 10th, 2021 at 6:37 PM ^
Dynamic running qbs. Dude can't throw for shit. If he was a drop back passer he wouldn't be starting in the nfl
January 10th, 2021 at 4:09 PM ^
Wait. I thought he was the worst and we did not want him.
Sorry, I need a discontent scorecard.
January 11th, 2021 at 6:08 AM ^
Since we have no shot at him coming here, we want him.
If we had a shot at getting him, “why in the hell would we get that guy?”
January 10th, 2021 at 4:11 PM ^
Michigan doesn't have the type of quarterback or running game to make this immediately successful, and if one has tuned into the ravens this year you would know their wide receivers aren't particularly happy with the offense either.
January 10th, 2021 at 5:27 PM ^
Well we've got the receiving part in place already at least.
January 10th, 2021 at 5:39 PM ^
What about DMac....oh nvm...
January 10th, 2021 at 4:14 PM ^
Next time you're about to make a thread, don't.
January 10th, 2021 at 4:54 PM ^
Thanks for the feedback.
January 10th, 2021 at 4:16 PM ^
Ravens finished regular season with 7th best defense. Titans known for excellent offense. After 1st 2 series in today's game, Titans did very little. If prediction as to DC is true, not a bad training ground.
January 10th, 2021 at 4:19 PM ^
I want Natalie Portman.
January 10th, 2021 at 6:16 PM ^
Ok, I'll keep Kate Upton
January 10th, 2021 at 7:55 PM ^
OK Spike, or Justin.
January 10th, 2021 at 9:27 PM ^
It’s been reported that she is only staying with Verlander because he is doctoring his balls.
January 10th, 2021 at 4:19 PM ^
So happy for Lamar. I will pull out one of my favorite John Harbaugh quotes that never gets old.....
Not bad for a running back
January 10th, 2021 at 4:31 PM ^
I want a Popemobile.
January 10th, 2021 at 5:02 PM ^
I can get you a good deal on a used one.
January 10th, 2021 at 6:23 PM ^
I'll send prayers your way.
January 10th, 2021 at 4:43 PM ^
I just want an offense.
January 10th, 2021 at 6:17 PM ^
... and TE's who could catch passes.
January 10th, 2021 at 10:14 PM ^
Best not to try this after eating Taco Bell, you’ll be waiting a while for either to fill up...
January 10th, 2021 at 5:03 PM ^
LOL, nobody of substance is coming to work with Jim. This program is a mess and I think now Warde has to go after what has transpired.
January 10th, 2021 at 10:39 PM ^
I am cool with the down votes, I get it. To those that down voted me please point out another situation like this where you cut a coaches salary in half after he tested the market and it worked?
I will be happy to be wrong.
January 10th, 2021 at 11:53 PM ^
YOU'RE OK VIC AND your take is not hot.
January 11th, 2021 at 12:03 AM ^
Who is vic? What am I missing here? Maybe not a hot take but I can participate, no?
January 10th, 2021 at 5:06 PM ^
I'd like to see Michigan running an offense
January 10th, 2021 at 5:18 PM ^
What was so impressive about that offense? They scored 20 pts, and 7 was from Lamar Jackson going 50 yds on a QB scramble.
January 10th, 2021 at 5:55 PM ^
Yes, our offense is currently perfectly capable of beating teams that can't reach 20.
January 10th, 2021 at 9:52 PM ^
I liked the following:
- They ran the ball against a tough opponent who was determined to be more physical than them (something I would love against Wisconsin and MSU).
- The offense creates lanes and options for its runners
- The offense can create space for playmakers at key times (where has that been for M)
- I like how the offense used its TE
- On key drives they were able to move the ball to expand the lead and run out the clock
All of the above helped them win a tough playoff game on the road (no fans, but still), so looking at points is one way to view an offense, but so is situational football, and that's an area Michigan needs to be much better at.
January 10th, 2021 at 10:44 PM ^
You know whose offense does all that? Matt Campbell's.
Too soon?
January 11th, 2021 at 12:02 AM ^
Calling Tennessee a "tough opponent" on the defensive side is a bit generous. I can't open Football outsiders right now, but I believe they're ranked somewhere around 29th in the league on the defensive side in DVOA. In the last 5 weeks of the season alone they gave up 41 points to the Browns, 40 to the Packers, and 38 to the Texans.
Roman has done great work in the past (particularly last year) but this game and this season overall I would actually put as a low point in his career. They weren't a bad offense, but to go from historically great last year, to middle of the pack in the NFL this year is a pretty massive drop off.
January 10th, 2021 at 5:32 PM ^
You want a QB who won a Heisman Trophy and NFL MVP running the offense. I completely agree having that type of QB would be devastating to the rest of the B1G.
January 10th, 2021 at 5:34 PM ^
Obligatory quit drinking and go to bed.
January 10th, 2021 at 5:39 PM ^
People in Hell want Ice Water Bruh!
