Michigan OC theory
Really starting to think that JH is just going to call all the plays with the input of the Pass Game Coordinator and Run game coordinator. Its just been to quite and it seems if a hire was going to be made it would have been made by now. I am guessing our OC is going to be Mr Jim himself. Not sure if anything or rumors have been posted or anything I may have missed.

How many humble brags does it take before you allow yourself to stop posting?

The crux of this argument is that nobody gives a fuck what you do, especially the school.

This protest will be studied by history scholars decades from now. Very bold move.

Watching on TV doesn't contribute any money to the program. The entire fan base could quit watching the games on TV and the amount Michigan gets from TV wouldn't change at all. That's all locked in due to the 6-year deal the Big Ten signed with ESPN and Fox. The only people not watching on TV hurts is Fox and ESPN. Delaney and the Big Ten DGAF if you watch or not.

What happens when Fox/ESPN can't pay their bills? What happens when that 6 year contract is up? If the Michigan fanbase stopped watching Michigan games, they would all suffer. Whether it took 6 years or not.

Not getting a new offensive staff is ridiculous?
Did you read the Ron Utah diary about Georgia last season?
Did you think MSU should have fired their offensive staff after the 2016 season?
Do you think Jim Harbaugh is a poor coach?
Do you think he doesn't know the offense sucked?
Do you think he doesn't care?
Do you think he isn't working hard?
Just live in your gloom and doom for the next 8 months. Sounds like a great place to hang out. The reality is we have tons of young, talented players motivated by a miserable season being lead by a great head coach in Jim Harbaugh. It will turn around.

No, see...a peaceful protest is supposed to attempt to make an impact and deliver a message to people causing an injustice. This does neither of those things. It's just self-service to make it look like you care harder than the rest of us on an internet message board. The program will be fine without your $. No one will notice if you aren't at the game. You arent the only one frustrated with the offense and UM isnt the only school thats ever had a bad coordinator. This isnt even the only UM team in the last 10 years with that problem. Its not some grave injustice to you that the Offense didnt mesh this year.
Hopefully with all that money you are saving you can buy an extra tall ladder to get off that high-horse.
January 18th, 2018 at 2:32 PM ^
You're acting like Jim's got a whole bunch of very, very highly paid assistants or something at his disposal whose specific job is to run the offense.
Oh wait........

Because that's observably incorrect and anyone with a high school-level understanding of the game of football who has watched our games over the last two seasons can see that.
January 18th, 2018 at 3:46 PM ^
Because facts?
January 18th, 2018 at 4:43 PM ^
Stop with that.

Give me a specific amount of monetary support that you give a year. I will happily cover your share in a direct athletic department donation. Whatever that dollar figure is it'll be well worth it. We need to take the opportunity to purge ourselves of the infantile, mentally weak portion of the fan base whenever given the opportunity. Thank you for outing yourself. It's the best thing you've ever done for this program.
January 18th, 2018 at 2:57 PM ^
So the frustrated fans that are tired of this overpaid staff underachieving are mentally weak?
Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
January 18th, 2018 at 3:23 PM ^
I just checked my bank account again, and I'm not paying Pep's salary so that sounds like the guy's problem that pays it. If the athletic department is paying all these salaries, and they are still in the black and boosters still pump cash in, then why not just kick back and enjoy the ride? If you are a booster, or major donor and you are unhappy then don't donate. Its your money and you should spend it how you choose. We could do a lot worse than Pep(hello Nussmeier), and the athletic department could waste a lot more money in the grand scheme of things.
I know they are all technically employees of the state, but the football department is self sustaining so if Jim says these guys are worth it, then I will blindly go along with it. If enough people are unhappy then maybe it won't be.
Everyone has the right to be disappointed after a disappointing season, but as Michigan fans we should all know it could get a lot worse. Our floor might not be Alabama's floor, or OSU's floor, but still. We got it good if the floor is 8 wins. Love the team, or don't. My 9 year old step kid is a bandwagon fan, so jump on board the Bama train if you want. There is plenty of room on there still. We all had a choice at some point to be Michigan fans. And if you are a real fan then you just kind of roll with.
I hope Harbaugh is never satisfied with a season that doesn't end undefeated and national champions.

Maybe the real OC was the friends we made along the way.
January 18th, 2018 at 3:25 PM ^
If it doesn't change we're fucked.
People say a lot of bold things on the internet. Let me indulge.
A 3rd grade flag football coach could've done a better job of calling the plays than whoever was calling our plays this year and at times at the end of last year. It was that bad.
I can't believe Drevno is still employed.

My answer lately to the "Jim Harbaugh needs to find the Don Brown of OCs" has been, isn't that Jim Harbaugh?
January 18th, 2018 at 3:52 PM ^
Umm, clearly not.
January 18th, 2018 at 3:53 PM ^
Not if he is delegating too much.
January 18th, 2018 at 4:58 PM ^
We can engage for days in guessing the micro-structures and processes as to why Jim Harbaugh is not the Don Brown of the offense. But really all we have to do is look at the results to reject the supposition. Whoever was the OC is no Don Brown.
January 19th, 2018 at 9:54 AM ^
Fair enough I see your point.
I was merely suggesting that Harbaugh was once considered the wizard of "pro-style" offenses. He seems to have lost his powers.
January 18th, 2018 at 3:40 PM ^
It was Harbaugh's when it was good, it's Harbaugh's when it was bad. People want to praise or blame a coordinator because they could leave or be fired and that's an easier thing to get up on than to holler at Harbaugh.
I'm kinda baffled people haven't figured out that coaching titles under Harbaugh are meaningless.
January 18th, 2018 at 3:51 PM ^
It doesn't seem the haters are taking into account Harbaugh hired the guy to a very important coaching position when he had other alternatives. Face it, we had a below-average O-line, especially when it came to pass pro. Once Speight was sidelined we had no real experience at QB, and what we had didn't produce. You do remember O'Korn running for his life (including times he should have just moved up in the pocket) and Brandon Peters missing his share of relatively easy throws, right? You can't put all that on Pep. I'm not sure you can put any of it on Pep. So many folks on this blog seem to think Pep is the problem, or as I like to say, using the familiar acronym, "PITP". Catchy, huh? Well, you can all just PITP up a rope. I've said my piece. Now let's get the boys to come together and win one for the Pepper!!

I don't care who was behind the repeated abominations of this year, but get it fixed. Personally I think there are too many cooks in the kitchen, and the fact that Drevno and Hamilton made 7 figure salaries last year is completely laughable. Maybe they can justify them this upcoming season, or maybe Harbaugh will finally understand that his "meritocracy" needs to apply to his coaching staff as well.
January 18th, 2018 at 7:11 PM ^
QB2 went 2-1
QB3 went 1-3
Games where one QB started and another finished: 2-1.
There is the reason for your abomination.

Hijacking this thread because this definitely isn't worth a new topic.
Would anyone like to join an NCAA 14 online dynasty on PS3?
We only need one person and your school would be Eastern Michigan, the rest of us have various 1* to 3* teams. Unfortunately one of the guys had to drop out of the league, but we are only 8 games through the first season.
League Rules:
8 regular season user games. 2 conferences, 6 teams each. You play your 5 mates and 3 from the other conference. Winner of each conference plays the other in the bowl game.
Obviously the natty isn't the most important thing; individual bragging rights are. 7 minute quarters, heisman sliders (QBA 10) and advancing twice a week. Lots of great players in the league, but everyone plays respectfully and fairly. Let me know, thanks!
