This will get modded. But any questions were answered today.

 

It sucks.

That's kind of a deceiving metric, no? Recruiting rankings don't take into consideration experience, players leaving for the NFL, transfers, etc. Indiana started Stevie Scott at rb for like the fifth straight year while we had a true freshman play the majority of our rb reps. I guarantee you that Corum was ranked higher, but who would YOU rather have as your running back today?

It doesn’t matter. We have too many advantages. Rich Rod and Hoke didn’t lose to Indiana (although it was a good indication that they were unfit to coach Michigan when they had some scares against the Hoosiers).

As of a week ago, I was defending Harbaugh on this blog. If he had continued to win 9-11 games a year and failed to beat OSU, I would still be in his corner. But these last two weeks have demonstrated that he’s just not working out. There are no excuses for our past two losses. We’ll be lucky to end this season with a winning record.

I took that as get Harbaugh the fuck out of here.

 The coaching is terrible on both sides of the ball. The talent is lacking on both sides of the ball. There is no discipline.

At some point in the past 6 years, the team the team the team was replaced by the individual. If you can’t start, transfer. If you have a shot at the League, sit out and protect yourself. That’s why this team can’t deal with an injury.

All can’t catch the ball, but it took the coaches three games to figure that out when Eubanks was on the sideline the whole time. We have the talent. Maybe not to beat OSU, but we have the talent to blow the doors off the last three teams we played and we didn’t. Our talent isn’t being utilized or motivated correctly.

You're right, It does not matter! Bo grew up a big buckeye fan in Ohio and was assistant coach on Woody's early OSU teams. I'm sure he would have loved to coach OSU if given a chance but knew what he could do with a Michigan team. When he got that chance he became one of our greatest coaches. So, OSU supporters can become great Michigan men.

I think Luke FIckell is a good coach and would be okay with the hire.  Id prefer UM went with an offensive mined HC, though.  I think they need someone with a modern offense that is their own. So they can coach the details of it and recruit to it.

A defensive coach is going to cycle through OCs.  Each with their own nuances.
