Yup. 1-7. M will lose by 3 TD’s next week. Are there schematic problems ? Yes. But the effort out there tonight suggests there are much deeper issues.
warde needs to find a good football coach. Good coaches are out there. Don’t need a fancy name, get a guy who is young, energetic and organized. Coaching is everything. But there in lies the rub. Will Warde find the right guy? I have my doubts.
You definitely are on to something here. The hubris that permeates M is a deep seeded problem - probably holding M back. People like Mary Sue Coleman damn near killed the basketball program.
right now football is pretty much in the same spot. WM has to find the football coach version of Beilein. There are good coaches out there. Will they have the guts or wherewithal to find him? Doubt it.
If Harbaugh is M i 3-5 (who the hell are we kidding this team isn’t winning another game) and back next yr then WM needs to go. Everyone knows what we are seeing has nothing to do with COVID. I see a team that is rudderless, undisciplined and poorly coached.
There are good coaches out there. Unfortunately I am not confident WM will identify the best one.
I think WM will have to find a new football coach next year. It doesn’t make sense to renew Harbaugh’s contract or renegotiate it for less money bc his seat will be too hot and that is also not good for the health of the program bc it will affect recruiting and just delay the inevitable.
First, M is guaranteed to lose any good players they have in the roster to the portal and will likely lose several valuable recruits. that alone sets the program back 2-3 years at a minimum.
I suspect, WM will create a search committee. They will base their criteria on the splashiest name and not the best coach and in 5-6 yrs M football will be in the same place it is now. Who knows how many cycles it will take? 3, 5, 10? Not hard to envision a scenario where the program never recovers for the foreseeable future. Hope is stupid. Nothing matters. Welcome to the abyss.
I’m sorry but this program has fallen into the abyss so suddenly....this is the death of program. That is what we are seeing. I’m sorry but there is no way Sam Webb, Brice Marich or ANY OTHER sunshine blower can suggest otherwise. Ya think Domani Jackson wants to come here after this? Ya think Xavier Worthy or JJ McCarthy is sticking around? Jennings? Anyone? Spoiler alert ...NO! Program is facing 20+ years of misery and ya know what 20 yes might as well be 50.
I hope this team never takes the field this season....what’s the point showing up and playing like a bunch of 5 yr old girls?! Seriously what is the point?!
LOL?! Fucking again?!!!!!! Again?!!!! The same jet sweep? Same.God.Damn. Fucking. Play. I swear to Christ this HAS to be the shittiest team in the history of the program - what the fuck do these guys do all week?!
Ok so fire Harbaugh...what next? bc who in the hell would want this job? Seriously, who? The recruits are going to bail. That’s going to set the program back 5 yrs minimum. There is a legit possibility that the program never comes back a season like this. This is the death of M football.
Honestly. All one can hope for is for the offense to score points. Unfortunately it’s tough to hang your hat on that idea since two starting tackles are out and the identity the offense had after the Minny game has disappeared. So yea....42-7 Wiscy. Quite frankly I’ll be surprised if M wins another game this yr.
Sigh. This. Wtf happened with the offense between week 1 and 2? The thing is, Wiscy doesn’t look unbeatable - the RPO/QB run game is there. Shoot, the ND game plan from last year would have some success. I’m sure we see more of the same garbage as per weeks 2&3.
I agree. Have to feel for these guys who are busting their asses to have a season. I just wish I could understand what is going on from a game plan standpoint. How can a team be so ill prepared for blitz packages? It’s not as if IU did anything they haven’t put on film before. This sucks bc even with the roster holes, the on-field product doesn’t have to be this poor.
M football is dead. No way this program comes back from a 1-7 season. Kiss the recruiting class goodbye. It’s about to snowball here. The next 20-30 years looks very bleak.
No. People don’t like Kamala Harris because she has done some reprehensible things as the AG of California (prolonged prison for non violent criminals for the purpose of using these inmates for cheap labor; blocked appeals for inmates on death row who were wrongly accused) and during her time as the DA of San Francisco (allowed priests who were known pedophiles, back into the churches/schools after making a deal with the arch diocese). Tulsi Gabbard pointed most of this out in the primaries. Quite honestly, if Tulsi got the nomination, this election would have been decided on 11/3.
I wouldn’t be shocked to see a close game. Maybe Minny was a mirage. Lombardi looks a lot better than last year. If M doesn’t match their intensity early, a dog fight is quite possible.
Possibly the worst weather game ever played in Michigan Stadium in the modern era. Unrelenting snow/wind rain. The grass turf was predictably ground into a frozen swamp. It looked bad on TV. Can’t imagine how miserable it was live.
I am in this camp as well. No matter how bad they look in previous games, they always seem to play over their heads against M. Lombardi looked competent mostly - a huge improvement. They really didn’t do anything fancy though. Probably difficult to run complex stuff with limited prep time. No excuses, should smash them.
This is a concern. If the Dems sweep, I hope they realize a shutdown equivalent to the initial March shutdown would yield far more damage than covid itself ever could.
+1K^ I want ruthless destruction with no opportunities for horse shit cheap shots against any of our guys and especially Joe because he will be either:
1. following a stampede of maize and blue into the end zone.
2. Effortlessly throwing darts as if it were a 7 on 7 drill.
3. On the sideline watching ALL of his teammates, down to the last walk-on, taking his opportunity add to the pile of points, sacks, forced fumbles, pick-6’s ect.
They definitely will. Don’t expect 5 fumbles on Saturday. Their D still looked more competent than Minny’s . Lombardi also looked a lot better than I expected as well. This game is going to be tougher than people think. The key is hitting them in the face early to make ‘em quit.
Yes. Absolutely this^. I agree on Lombardi. I can’t imagine that many fumbles on Saturday. Their OL still looks pretty bad. I imagine they will try to get the ball out quick early and often.

Try 1-7. It’s worse than you think.

This is a rosy outlook imo

1-7, yup. Program may never recover. M football is DEAD
No it won’t. Rutgers will win by 3 TD’s

What a SOOOOOFFFFTTTT TEAM?! bunch of quitters
Sorry it’s true...team, is soft, undisciplined, and fails to give effort on a consistent basis. All signs point to poor coaching
Ding ding ding
LOL?! Fucking again?!!!!!! Again?!!!! The same jet sweep? Same.God.Damn. Fucking. Play. I swear to Christ this HAS to be the shittiest team in the history of the program - what the fuck do these guys do all week?!
That jet sweep? Fucking again?! So sad. I bet Dax transfers next yr bc why not?
Wiscy can run that play every single time
Oh yea that too!!!
Dumbest team in America!!!! Are u fucking kidding me?!
Lol Dios Mio?! Are ever duuuuuuuuumb!
Ummmmmm... nice series Cade!
So goddam dumb
Jesus Christ we are the dumbest goddam team in America
Nothing easy in this offense. Nothing at all. There has to be a good football coach out there somewhere. WM has to find him.
So sad to watch our corners chase wiscy Receivers across the field futilely...so dumb.
Ok so fire Harbaugh...what next? bc who in the hell would want this job? Seriously, who? The recruits are going to bail. That’s going to set the program back 5 yrs minimum. There is a legit possibility that the program never comes back a season like this. This is the death of M football.
Geez ....the flat is soooo wide open
Guys, I’m afraid there are in for a 1-8 season. There is zero confidence across the board. Abyss here we come...

At this point all one can hope for is the offense to look competent- but even that is going to be a tall order with both starting tackles out.
Yes. This^ Goddammit. I wonder how many recruits will bail.

Yeah well, neither is the team who insists on playing press man with slow CB’s.
IU 41
M 21
Let’s get it done guys!
Don’t get your hopes up. M is not that good state is not that bad. Expect a dog fight.
Not maybe.
Wow. Talk about a fool’s gold win. Ugh. Have a bad feeling about tomorrow all of a sudden.
Good lord Minny’s Defense suuuuucks
Yes. I can absolutely see the offense slog tomorrow. My hope is:
1. Gattis is able to scheme some easy throws/yards and confuse their LB’s.
2. Dax stays healthy (Please Dear God) thereby erasing their best receiver.
3.ST doesn’t have some horrible biff like last week.
