MSU Snowflakes: Special Teams / Coaching

I’m in favor of Harbaugh embracing the role of villain and showing little to no mercy to teams that deserve the hamblasting.

This one was complete domination, from the opening drive. Even with my normal Michigan paranoia, this one was never in doubt.  It was over almost before it started. And apparently no serious injuries. Amazing win. Congratulations to everyone - coaches, players, staff. Fantastic. 

Lot of kickoffs.  That was nice.

Standing ovation for this staff. They handled all the distractions being piled onto them and came out and took care of business. 

Of course that goes for the players too, but talk about blocking out all the noise and staying focused on the goals ahead.

Offense, defense, ST, fantastic. As I and others have said, best coaching staff in the country.

Today was just another piece. Important game, okay we have the players, so attack from the jump and take their hearts by the second quarter. Air attack? That's what they're giving us, so that's what we're doing. This is how you play modern offense. 

There is no ceiling for this team right now.

we have the best team in the country

It's probably in the comments already but here it is again if so.

ALL I wanted was to come into this game without being overly hyped. Treat them like Indiana, Rutgers, etc. Even keel. Business trip.

Then the sign shit dropped and that had a major distraction possibility.

And yet, this team was 100% calm, focused, and business-like all night.

Credit to the coaches. Credit to the players. Amazing maturity all around.

Satisfactory 

I always want our coaches to want to shove MSU's face into their own shit, and tonight they did.  And aside from that, this staff is just deeply, deeply good.

Is MSU or the tunnel in Ja'Den McBurrows head? Nope.

Do we need to know other teams' signs? Nope.

Is Donovan Edwards sulking because the season hasn't been explosive enough yet? Nope.

Does this team look like it can take anyone in the country by 10+? Yep.

My only complaint was not going for 2 at the end !!! 

The ultimate FU to the NCAA would be to announce this week that you have signed Harbaugh to a lifetime deal. C’mom Manual, get it done! There’s no better team oriented culture in college football and it is due to this man. Just listening to the players speak tells you all you need to know about the leadership of this program. So frustrating to hear things like we have to wait until these NCAA things work themselves out. Are you fing kidding me. Anybody thinking they can just bring anybody else in, or promote any assistant and have this same sort of program is crazy. You have one of the best football coaches in the world regardless of level. Get it done!

We look like an NFL team. Our precision with alignments, substitutions, adjustments etc. is FAR beyond what I see watching ANY other team in CFB. Those 2 teams that played in Columbus yesterday looked like typical CFB teams. Guys moving around pre snap, looking to the sidelines for approval of their alignment, scrambling to get personnel groups right etc. Harbaugh has this team functioning on a level ABOVE college football. Oklahoma, Washington, even Alabama look like amateur hour in comparison. Watch the happenings BETWEEN plays. We look a world apart

From Harbaugh’s press conference:

There must have been seven guys in the backfield and somehow he got out. He looked like Ooze the Magnificent on that one. Incredible.
