Wisconsin Snowflakes - The Coaching
November 15th, 2020 at 7:46 AM ^
Yeah, they gave up in 2nd qtr and Herbie rightfully called them out on it.
November 14th, 2020 at 11:07 PM ^
I have been watching since I was 8 in 2002 and this is without a doubt the worst team this program has ever put on the field even through Hoke and Rich Rod. What an absolute disaster. How anyone will still defend Harbaugh this week is beyond me, and you know there will be people on here doing it.
November 14th, 2020 at 11:07 PM ^
Fire them all. Start with the defense. Hope Warde has the balls!
November 15th, 2020 at 12:10 AM ^
Agree. I remember that Threet/Sheridan year after Carr left the cupboards bare and let everyone transfer. That was a terribly untalented team that somehow competed harder than our more talented current team. They also seemed to be better coached, which is frightening.
November 15th, 2020 at 12:20 AM ^
Warde is a fucking spineless yes man.
November 15th, 2020 at 9:57 AM ^
My only inkling to defend him (and I suspect others are the same) is that I haven't fully left the 'denial' stage of grief. Or maybe it's bargaining
Like no, this can't be reality, right? When Harbaugh was hired in 2015 we were all so sure this was our path back to being elite and beating OSU. Is this really where we are? It's tough to come to the acceptance that Harbaugh is failing
November 14th, 2020 at 11:08 PM ^
Please.
Make.
It.
Stop.
November 15th, 2020 at 10:30 AM ^
Not this year. ?
November 14th, 2020 at 11:08 PM ^
Fuck Jim Harbaugh
November 14th, 2020 at 11:09 PM ^
I mean just what the fuck are we doing here? Harbaugh can’t coach his fucking mask to stay on his face. Can it get any worse on either side of the ball?
/looks at Rutgers
oh god.
November 14th, 2020 at 11:09 PM ^
goodbye Jim, thanks for your 3-10 or whatever record against MSU/OSU
November 14th, 2020 at 11:20 PM ^
Hey now 4-11 if you include Notre Dame.
But seriously what a fucking disaster he has been. They should fire that piece of shit on the field.
November 14th, 2020 at 11:09 PM ^
This is lower for me than 2014 vs Minnesota with the Shane Morris debacle. At least by that pint we knew Hoke was awful. This hurts so much worse because Harbaugh was supposed to come home and build Michigan into an elite machine. And it appeared that he was the first two seasons...and it came crashing the fuck down, of course.
Thanks for nothing Jim Hokebaugh
November 15th, 2020 at 12:06 AM ^
Holistically speaking, the Shane Morris debacle was hands down worse, in my opinion.
That said, relative to expectations, you have a defensible point and the fact that you do is just so utterly damning. I will be disappointed if Harbaugh is still the coach next year, but... I sadly won’t be surprised. And it s fair to wonder if the weight of our hidebound tradition and Michigan Man culture is so oppressive that even Saban or Swinney wouldn’t be able to succeed here.
November 14th, 2020 at 11:09 PM ^
Coaching? What's that?
November 14th, 2020 at 11:10 PM ^
I ask this question with all sincerity but I understand if I get negged.
Is it legally possible, buyouts be damned, that Jim Harbaugh could hypothetically be the head coach of the New York Jets by Tuesday? If Harbaugh left tomorrow and Gase got fired on Monday, could this be possible?
Just asking.
November 14th, 2020 at 11:52 PM ^
Yes it is
November 15th, 2020 at 12:01 AM ^
too specific a hypothetical, but if it saves us the buyout somehow that would be awesome -- at this point though i wonder why the jets would want harbaugh as their head coach -- im guess he'll need a coordinator position first to reestablish his credentials
November 15th, 2020 at 12:15 AM ^
Not saying there is a realistic chance of it happening, but buyouts are generally structured in a manner that If the coach takes a new position, his buyout would be reduced by the amount they are paid for the new position. This a generalized, I don’t know how Harbaugh’s contract is structured.
November 15th, 2020 at 8:22 AM ^
Why would anyone want him at this point? The bloom is off the rose.
November 15th, 2020 at 12:00 PM ^
No. It is not possible because Woody is still overseas, and besides, Spanos called dibs.
If Harbaugh isn't in AA next year, he's in LA.
November 14th, 2020 at 11:10 PM ^
Woof.
November 14th, 2020 at 11:10 PM ^
Harbaugh can't even wear a mask right.
November 14th, 2020 at 11:31 PM ^
It’s all part of his wonderful “quirky” and “eccentric” personality that we’ve heard so much about.
When you win big games and titles you can do these weird little things and your fans love you for it. See: Phil Jackson. When you preform like Harbaugh has over the past several seasons, you just look like a clown.
November 14th, 2020 at 11:10 PM ^
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
November 15th, 2020 at 12:22 AM ^
Oh shit, this is telling.
November 14th, 2020 at 11:11 PM ^
I’ve seen enough. The good thing about not having a bowl game is that there’s no reason to not have Matt Campbell in Ann Arbor by Christmas.
November 14th, 2020 at 11:17 PM ^
...is somebody gonna tell him?
November 14th, 2020 at 11:11 PM ^
In general I think sports fans are way too quick to say “fire everyone”, I mean think back to the fire Beilein threads and fire Bakich threads. People even wanted to get rid of Juwan and get Beilein back at one point last season. So generally I try to stay more level headed and figure out ways to fix the issues without firing everyone, because a constant revolving door of coaches makes you the Cleveland Browns. But yeah, this is pathetic. I think we have to fire everyone. It’s just not working. Don Brown can’t call a game anymore. Gattis hasn’t grown sufficiently as a play caller and installed game plans that make it easy on the qb. The whole team lacks discipline and takes dumb penalties. The whole league bitches about What Zordich teaches and we’re getting burned by it right now. You have to fire him if you want to get the benefit of the doubt like other teams get. Nua hasn’t done enough.
November 14th, 2020 at 11:35 PM ^
Nua hasn’t done shit, I wanted Brown fired years ago. Not sure WTF Gattis is doing half the time. Zordich:hard to say. I mean the corners have been good until this year, so who knows. Warinner is good—I mean 4 new oline starters, then both tackles get injured. Can’t put that on coaching. LBs have looked completely lost—could be because they’re getting out of position due to shitty dline play IDK. Dax has been good Hawkins not good.
Receivers are open but can’t hit em. TEs look awful and IDK WTF they’re trying to do w/running game. Cade had that one drive. ??? I’m just rambling.
November 15th, 2020 at 12:18 AM ^
Among other issues... TE’s cannot catch the football.
November 15th, 2020 at 12:25 PM ^
The most important position group on the field if you wanna play Harbaugh football and they’ve never recruited/developed a single good one. Kind of a microcosm for the whole thing innit.
November 14th, 2020 at 11:11 PM ^
What is this "Coaching" thing you speak of?
November 14th, 2020 at 11:11 PM ^
Little league. Everyone plays. Even if you suck you get to play. Winning is for jerks,
November 14th, 2020 at 11:11 PM ^
Should all pack their shit and get the hell out! Every single one of them!!
November 14th, 2020 at 11:11 PM ^
Is there anyone who needs s see more? Didn’t think so.

November 14th, 2020 at 11:35 PM ^
I believe their names are Salvatore Quattro. bronxblue and Catchafire.
November 14th, 2020 at 11:11 PM ^
0-28 halftime and 49-11 ending. After losing to pathetic MSU and routed by IU.
Bye, Felicia.

November 14th, 2020 at 11:12 PM ^
My coaching concerns:
Offense can’t run or pass.
Defense can’t stop the run or pass.
Awful game/clock management.
Players constantly making dumb mistakes and committing bad penalties.
Can’t develop a quarterback to achieve even a moderate level of proficiency and consistency.
Same with running back.
Stubborn staff that has no imagination or flexibility to adapt to in game changes and just keeps running the same plays even after it’s been shown they don’t work.
Players look totally demoralized and have little desire to play for this staff.
Constant inability in press conferences and other public statement to acknowledge that anything is wrong.
Anything I’m missing?
November 14th, 2020 at 11:49 PM ^
fans no longer give a shit
past rivals dont even enjoy michigans suffering anymore because it is the norm now for most of 2 decades
there is no hope for change
November 14th, 2020 at 11:13 PM ^
Hockey has 4 first round players on its roster. Basketball has the top class in the country. The football team looks like they throw darts on a dart board with the players they have. Vincent Gray, Josh Ross, Taylor Upshaw, Julius Welshoff etc. aren't Michigan level players.
November 15th, 2020 at 3:45 AM ^
What's a "Michigan level player"? Sounds like a bs way to deflect the blame from the coaches who have done a shitty job of preparing these kids to play.
November 15th, 2020 at 7:44 AM ^
Actually it’s a way to call out the coaches again for thinking those kids were worthy of not only an offer but a committable offer
November 15th, 2020 at 8:31 PM ^
Nonsense. Even if they aren't highly regarded, coach them up.
November 14th, 2020 at 11:13 PM ^
Harbaugh should not live to see another day as the head coach at the University of Michigan. Sadly he will and will probably coach next year, and will probably get a contract extension because we have a weak athletic director who wants Jim to retire as the coach of this team. It's time for the big donors to step to the plate and demand change. This cant go on any longer. This team is worse than anything during the Richrod or Hoke eras. They are soft and coached poorly.
November 15th, 2020 at 10:14 AM ^
No way he actually survived the season, really?
November 14th, 2020 at 11:14 PM ^
I’m in shock. Does this program recovery? The future is very uncertain and likely to be bad. Never, ever would I have thought to see harbaugh coach team quit.
November 14th, 2020 at 11:15 PM ^
I suggest someone start coaching these players
