Fucking kidding me after god…

Fucking kidding me after god knows how long doing background checks 

what the fuck 

Lmao

Lmao

That was fast!

That was fast!

Fuck Harbaugh

Rooting…

Fuck Harbaugh

Rooting against the chargers to lose every game from here on out

Lol

Lol

Not so sure. Is there a…

Not so sure. Is there a better starting 4 on DL? Show me

and the critical pieces for the defense for the scheme are in the secondary. LB much more replaceable in the scheme I think. And our safeties and CB1 are going to be insane next year

Not clear he’d have been…

Not clear he’d have been better but there’s a good case to be made that Minter was the best Xs and Os guy on the staff. He produced a generationally good defense the likes of which we may not see again in our lifetimes at Michigan. Meanwhile did Moore ever crack the top 5 in offensive S&P+?

doesnt make him the best for the CEO spot tho. Moore may (probably does?) have better qualities there

I mean sure if you only list…

I mean sure if you only list the good things and ignore all his painfully obvious shortcomings it sounds impossible

My first reaction is not…

My first reaction is not terribly impressed with this. Hope I’m wrong 

Nice!

Nice!

Thank Jesus

That’s one in the yes column!

 

Should we re-up the “will…

Should we re-up the “will you root for Jim at the Chargers” question? Curious how the poll looks now :-)

After Jim takes half the…

After Jim takes half the staff with him we will know very quickly whether or not Sherrone is cut out for the job. There will be no 5 year deterioration, he’s gonna have to replace half the staff so he’ll sink or swim quickly 

Really raiding the cupboards…

Really raiding the cupboards there Jim! Any other assistants who will provide a marginal advantage at best for you but has the opportunity to devastate Michigan? 

I love Jim but fuck him for this one. Fuck him

Agreed, and frankly I don't…

Agreed, and frankly I don't think we're so far off. If we could even hover between 5-10 most of the time, rather than always struggling to crack the top 10, a very strong S&C program and good positional coaches can easily make up the gap. It's a lot harder and less likely year to year when you're closer to #15 in the country in recruiting

The answer certainly appears…

The answer certainly appears to be "good luck with the diamonds lol"

I don't agree with this at…

I don't agree with this at all, but rational minds may differ I suppose. 

Our enjoyment of the recent…

Our enjoyment of the recent national championship should not engender this pervasive sense of complacency. We are Michigan, and we should strive for excellence. The one does not preclude the other as we should be more than capable of walking and chewing gum simultaneously

But I agree - this past year will represent the pinnacle of sports fandom for me, and I doubt I will ever love a team and a season the same way. And yet,

Unclear to me why we should…

Unclear to me why we should employ someone with such a mindset. But I don't have any view into how the regents / president operate here, maybe he does a bunch of really awesome stuff that excuses his mediocre approach to everything that is visible to the fans. Maybe!

Seems so short-sighted…

Seems so short-sighted. Starving the money maker into mediocrity to pay for what, exactly? I love women's SB and the bball team as much as everybody but how can he be so confused as to what his money maker is?

Exactly this. We have the…

Exactly this. We have the look and feel of a perennial 9-3/10-2 type of program that can break out maybe once every quarter century. It took a HOF-caliber NFL and college coach to do so, with a 5* quarterback and a seasoned group of veterans who were desperate to stay and win a title. This feels very, very unrepeatable

And maybe that's what the AD wants. 9-3, beat OSU once every three or four years, beat MSU 2/3 or 3/4 of the time, and coin flip vs. PSU. I guess it could be worse but it's not super exciting

What doesn’t make sense to…

What doesn’t make sense to me is how we’re wealthy enough of a fan base to win the edsbs charity drive every year (which is a great cause!) but we can’t seem to fundraise as well as a bunch of Cleveland truck drivers?

Probably because that resume…

Probably because that resume more or less describes Macdonald and Minter as well, and he's rumored to be a very similar hire in terms of capability and scheme

Or fuck it let's hire Wink…

Or fuck it let's hire Wink Martindale lol

FUCK

Not that we all didn't…

FUCK

Not that we all didn't know it was happening but still

Can we take the Third Raven That Was Prophesied??

Go get em coach!

Go get em coach!

Are you kidding? He’s…

Are you kidding? He’s extremely odd, I would not want him to be the primary employer of all of our head coaches. I love him but he seems unsuited to the job to me

not that many five star types, lots of these guys aren’t Georgia or Florida takes right now if we’re being honest. Michigan with Sherrone is still obviously a lot more attractive than Wisconsin or Cincinnati

Don't buy this bullshit. Too…

Don't buy this bullshit. Too late for what? He hadn't signed anything. He wanted to stay at Michigan, he could've stayed at Michigan. He didn't, and he left. Time to move on and stop blaming those who are still here. Good luck in the NFL, we have bigger fish to fry

That people think to seem…

That people think to seem this an outrageous stance is wild to me

Not true. If Michigan says…

Not true. If Michigan says you know what best offer, take it now or we’re keeping the existing contract, his negotiating leverage with NFL teams declines massively as well

A lot of these aren't no…

A lot of these aren't no-brainers

Those around here blaming Warde for everything should take a deep breath and realize Harbaugh is driving a hard bargain. I don't blame anyone for negotiating around these clauses as some of them seem aggressive

Lfgggggg

Isnt It like a 20 page document, max? I’ll shit out a draft in the next 20 minutes, send me Warde’s email

Right now he’s one of the greatest coaches we’ve had. Give it another 5-10 years and we name everything related to the program that is possibly namable after him

Maybe he doesn’t care but there is a difference

Feels like we beat the game. I love the game, so I'm going to reset the Nintendo and play it again, and then again, and then again, because the game is the best one ever made, but the stakes won't ever feel the same. Because we already beat the game

Are you happy with the general trajectory right now? I am not

Comparing Juwan’s situation …

Comparing Juwan’s situation - inheriting a top-10 program, perennial competitor for the Big Ten, national championship aspirations - to what Beilein and Harbaugh inherited strikes me as completely insane, as does comparing their respective track records.

Harbaugh and Beilein both inherited programs that were out wandering in the wilderness and turned them around, and both had decades of prior success to point to. Howard’s trajectory and performance looks to me more like a worse version of Ryan Day, with bouts of anger management issues to boot 

I agree we should be patient and wait for more info, but comparing these situations seems wild to me
