OT: Which Children's Cartoon Character would be the best head coach for Michigan?
Because I'm running on three hours of sleep with our infant going hog wild at night, I figured I'd add a little levity for the moms, dads, and caretakers in here:
Which character from the kids' shows you know and love should Warde consider interviewing for the role if Harbaugh leaves?
My personal vote is for the blue ranger from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, but I imagine some Paw Patrol characters have the combination of skills and acute neuroticism needed to succeed.

This does seem to hint at a Mickey Mouse operation at times.
January 4th, 2023 at 11:20 AM ^
This is a very Goofy thread.
Power rangers aren't even cartoons, but maybe the blue ranger has more coaching ability in his Pinky than I have in my entire Brain.

Divorce court judge: Mr. Mouse. You have presented no evidence to suggest that your wife, Mrs. Mouse is insane.
Mickey: Insane? I didn't say she was insane. I said she was fucking Goofy!

Come on, this is fun. and it's not like it's not about Michigan sports in a way. We've had a really bad week, let us distract ourselves a bit
January 4th, 2023 at 9:23 AM ^
The Internet has officially run out of things to post about.
January 4th, 2023 at 9:24 AM ^
Coach John McGuirk. Sort of a reverse Ted Lasso.
January 4th, 2023 at 10:56 AM ^
Nice call back - still remember one of his quotes when he was first tasked with coaching soccer. "Handball? What? You can't use your hands?! What type of crazy game is this!"
January 4th, 2023 at 9:25 AM ^
Matt Campbell–we’re still doing this right?
January 4th, 2023 at 9:27 AM ^
The only correct answer is Wile E. Coyote.
January 4th, 2023 at 11:42 AM ^
Didn’t he coach the Lions?
January 4th, 2023 at 12:05 PM ^
I thought Wile E. would be more of an AD at Michigan.
January 4th, 2023 at 9:28 AM ^
Don’t bring those candy ass Power Rangers anywhere near my steak and whole milk Voltron Lions. A fantastic entire coaching staff all in one cartoon.
January 4th, 2023 at 9:28 AM ^
Bugs Bunny. He wouldn't have lost the TCU game with bad play calling and clock management issues.
January 4th, 2023 at 10:38 AM ^
Yes, Bugs Bunny is the best answer. He'd have OSU all messed up by doing things like having RBs running through tunnels that pop up in the end zone (though not without a detour through Albuquerque), disguising DBs as cheerleaders by making them wear skirts, etc.
January 4th, 2023 at 10:39 AM ^
As a looney toons fan, I’d absolutely go with Bugs. The OC would definitely be Road Runner.
Current Coach has a bit of Dudley Do-Right in him.
January 4th, 2023 at 9:28 AM ^
King Bob from Recess.
January 4th, 2023 at 9:30 AM ^
Maybe time for some more meds, OP?
January 4th, 2023 at 9:32 AM ^
Sigh. I've run out of snark in responding to these posts.
The shitposters have won. They've worn me down pa, I cant stand up to them with sarcasm and ridicule any more. I'm tired, just too many shitposts. Just too many to fight pa.
January 4th, 2023 at 9:37 AM ^
a shitpost is what my infant provided to me at 316am today when pondering this
January 4th, 2023 at 9:49 AM ^
Calm down. I agree with most of your griping, but this isn't bad. I could see a front page post from Seth/Brian that picks a cartoon character analogue for each B1G head coach. That's the exact kind of humor that they do on this blog.
January 4th, 2023 at 10:10 AM ^
Calm down? I was also trying to provide levity like the OP although I will say upon further review (and looking at who posted it who I like) you're right, it's not that bad. Silly, but not that bad.
So with that in mind I'll answer the OP's question. Johnny Quest's own Race fucking Bannon, that's who. The single most bad-ass cartoon charecter to even grace a Saturday morning TV screen.
January 4th, 2023 at 10:59 AM ^
Love ya too, Old. Was just bringing back some lighter pre-BPONE times from the mid-2000s when we were both MGoYoungins.
January 4th, 2023 at 9:50 AM ^
Hey old guy. Just slowly shake your head in stunned amazement at the idiocy, channeling your best Clint E. It helps ...
January 4th, 2023 at 9:33 AM ^
Jim Harbaugh!
January 4th, 2023 at 9:33 AM ^
This guy never loses:
January 4th, 2023 at 9:40 AM ^
And the one time he allegedly did, the college nerds that Homer got expelled unplugged the TV, so nobody saw.
January 4th, 2023 at 9:35 AM ^
I applaud your efforts here, but if there’s one thing these people hate, it’s levity.
Also, Mr. McFeely. Great motor, good people skills and a hidden knowledge of power spread concepts.
January 4th, 2023 at 10:57 AM ^
One of Mr McFeely's relatives (nephew?) John McFeely was actually the manager of the food service/restaurant/catering at the Michigan Union in the mid-80's. Got my start waiting tables under him, and he laid a great foundation for my service career.
January 4th, 2023 at 10:00 AM ^
we're never gonna make it. where's gulliver?
January 4th, 2023 at 10:06 AM ^
In the MGoPortal, he couldn't take all these posts.
January 4th, 2023 at 9:41 AM ^
I watched King of the Hill as a child, so I will say Hank Hill. His strong values and commitment to discipline would allow Michigan to play bully ball while limiting penalties. He also has a strong assistant coaching candidate with friend/neighbor Bill Dauterive who was a high school football legend who had 72 career touchdowns earning him the nickbame "Billdozer"
January 4th, 2023 at 9:42 AM ^
I actually kinda like this post. This is the kind of fun conversation that this board is missing.
Id go with road runner. He always out smarts coyote, has running in his name and is like buggs bunny but FAST.
January 4th, 2023 at 9:54 AM ^
Speed in space!
January 4th, 2023 at 9:49 AM ^
🎶We don’t talk about Bruno🎵
January 4th, 2023 at 9:49 AM ^
This question is stupid, because the answer is so obvious...
January 4th, 2023 at 10:18 AM ^
for those that want a "Michigan Man" there is none more Michigan-er.
January 4th, 2023 at 9:51 AM ^
I remember the little to no sleep days with kids. Makes the mind do silly things, it does. So without putting much thought into it, I'll go with Yosemite Sam - just to see him get pissed off on the sidelines cursing under his breath and then going ballistic would be fun to watch.
January 4th, 2023 at 3:39 PM ^
Brian Kelly?
January 4th, 2023 at 9:52 AM ^
The Marching Band already knows his walk up song and he wore #0 before the NCAA allowed it.
January 4th, 2023 at 10:57 AM ^
Watch out for Tick Tock Tech and Whatsmatta U.
January 4th, 2023 at 9:54 AM ^
Beerus.
Calm under pressure. Very tough. No nonsense. A God.
I think he would be a strong candidate.
January 6th, 2023 at 7:36 PM ^
Hypothetically, Perfect Cell could just absorb all of the other coaches for their knowledge and then be the best by default.
January 4th, 2023 at 9:54 AM ^
If we pulled up all the threads from a year ago on this subject, would they be exactly the same?
January 4th, 2023 at 10:11 AM ^
yes, and by the same people.
January 4th, 2023 at 9:57 AM ^
Whenever he gets in a fix, he reaches into his bag of tricks
