He's not perfect, but he's several orders of magnitude better than a "50/50" track record. That's just stupid.

yea, and if you want to create a new account after a banhammer by picking someone from the 1997 team, there are much better options than that blabber-mouth.
December 26th, 2017 at 7:41 PM ^
Looking forward to the upcoming Clint Copenhaver account.

Can't trust a Brighton Bulldog.

Hey now, we Bulldogs are fine, upstanding people!
Good family. I went to school with his older brother.

if being right is the direct inverse of being wrong, than your correctness is a function of your incorrectness.
You can be orders of magnitude "better" (as was the term used by ol' TIMMAY) than wrong half the time.
one order of magnitude "better" would be wrong 0.5% of the time
two would be wrong 0.05% of the time.
"several" would be wrong something like 0.0005% of the time, depending on your definition of several.
I don't think he's wrong that infrequently but I agree he's usually correct and I appreciate umbig's contributions.
yep, this is mgoblog.

One of the four best things for Michigan football this offseason so far (that I can think of).
- Players and coaches raise money for ChadTough charity (idea started by Winovich). Not only a great result for the charity, but reminds us of how awesome our team and program are.
- Patterson comes in, providing at a minimum needed depth at the QB spot, given Speight's transfer/
- Winovich returns for senior season.
- Moorhead leaves Penn State.

Just hired to be the HC at Miss St. Widely recognized as the brains behind the PSU operation under Franklin.
December 27th, 2017 at 7:07 PM ^
Yep. Franklin was even somewhat on the "hot seat," or at least that was part of the narrative (two 7-6 seasons to begin his tenture, with no wins against any decent Big Ten team) until Franklin hired Moorhead as OC and he completely revamped their offense.
2014 S&P+ Offensive Ranking (pre-Moorhead): 112
2015 (pre-Moorhead): 62
2016 (with Moorhead): 18
2017 (with Moorhead): 12

If he goes there will be trouble.
If he stays there will be double.
December 26th, 2017 at 6:04 PM ^
December 26th, 2017 at 6:16 PM ^
but yes, if he stays there will be double trouble for opposing QBs
or maybe they'll try to double-team him?
Stay Chase, STAY!

Have to disagree with you on that one. He's much closer to the late second round or early third than you think. Tough decision for him and it's about 60/40.

I don't know if this upcoming draft is weak or strong for defensive linemen, but for reference, Chris Wormley was selected #74 last year (10th pick in the 3rd round).
Although they play different positions, I think Chase is better football player than Wormley and would likely be drafted higher - again depending on the strength of the D line class.
What say you?
December 26th, 2017 at 8:20 PM ^
Is he? Wormley was pretty darn good against the run last year, and provided a credible pass rush from the SDE position. I know pass rushers are at a premium in the NFL, so I could see him going higher than Wormley based on his skill set, but Wormley had a really, really good career here. I don't think Winovich is better.
December 26th, 2017 at 8:54 PM ^
Not yet...
December 26th, 2017 at 9:13 PM ^
Hopefully we get one more year to find out. I think Chase has a higher ceiling becuase he has been very productive even after a couple seasons of position flips.
