he was at Temple for one season and mostly maintained the level of success Al Golden had established there. Everything else he's done has been terrible.
0-16 Lions
Tebow's worst season
Brantley tirefire
Auburn tirefire
VT tirefire

I'm willing to take the job for a quarter of what Al's making, and I run the number 1 offense according to NCAA Football 14.
November 9th, 2013 at 8:22 PM ^
Very creative former HC who is now an O-Line coach. Brilliantly mixes Manball and gap schemes.
November 9th, 2013 at 8:27 PM ^
November 9th, 2013 at 9:51 PM ^
I would be in favor of this. He did a great job with the Raiders and was unjustifiably fired.
November 9th, 2013 at 8:23 PM ^
November 9th, 2013 at 8:24 PM ^
I say we hire a group of monkeys to pick from all the plays in a hat. I guaruntee we rush for more yards.

Why do we continually have to deal with coaching problems? Is finding a decent coaching staff really that hard? When OSU goes through coaching changes they don't seem to skip a beat.
November 9th, 2013 at 8:50 PM ^
How did the year post-Tressel and pre-Meyer go? Good coaching matters.
November 9th, 2013 at 9:05 PM ^
They didn't hire anyone, they were forced to fire Tressell. They had one bad year and have not lost a game since. If we went 6-6 in 2008 and didn't lose a game after that I'd take that any day!

If they could pull him from the west coast....what about Jeff Tedford? He has done well with QB's and if he could change this offense into somethiing positive he could get back on his feet as a HC.
It would probably only be a 2 or 3 yr fix but at worst the job would be appealing to someone else.
November 9th, 2013 at 8:32 PM ^
Alternatively we can make a similar offer to the Alabama offensive coordinator. I doubt we can outbid Alabama but you never know unless you ask.
Loefflor hasn't really done much as an offensive coordinator. I wouldn't be against him returning as a QB coach .
I'd be all for Cam Cameron but I don't thin he'll come.
The real problem is there aren't that many great pro style offensive coordinators out there in the college game as most of the best offensive coordinators are all spread guys. And I don't know if we want to go through and offensive transition again.
There's always Lane Kiffin. Just kidding.

The Stanford OC would want to run the ball even more than we currently do. We need to be able to develop linemen for it to work out.
November 10th, 2013 at 1:00 PM ^
It's about being creative, creating mismatches (both with linemen and skill position players) and messing with the defense's keys. Stanford's OC is excellent at this.
Borges...yeah
November 9th, 2013 at 8:28 PM ^
Finding a good coaching staff is already difficult enough without a factioned administration who is stuck to an identity that peaked in 1997 and also poo poos one of the most successful offenses in football.

Who was Hoke's OC at Ball State? I thought he ran more spread stuff conceptually there.

H.R. Pufnstuf; with Teddy Ruxpin as an assistant.
November 9th, 2013 at 8:47 PM ^
That hurt just to mention. Although he failed as a head coach, he put together some pretty effective offenses and managed to develop quarterbacks.

Types of coaches likely to move to Michigan: out-of-work former OCs and HCs; OCs at lower tier schools; Position coaches at equivalent schools.
In the last category, Cristobal is OL coach at Alabama and could be a good fit as he tries to work his way back up from the disasterous ending at FIU.
Taafe at UCF fits in the second category, but he's pretty old and may not be a long-term solution.
Brent Pease at UF may soon fit the first category and while he hasn't been great this year, you can blame that on injuries and he did well at Boise State before that.
November 9th, 2013 at 8:55 PM ^
November 9th, 2013 at 9:03 PM ^
Ya I am sure he wants to leave Arizona, a place giving him full support, in order to return to the school that ran him out of town after making it well known he was not a "Michigan Man."
November 9th, 2013 at 9:12 PM ^
November 9th, 2013 at 8:56 PM ^
The correct answer is "anyone".

This is the probably the best idea I've seen here.
November 9th, 2013 at 9:01 PM ^
I mentioned it a few weeks ago but my dog is still available for hire. There is no way he calls a worse game than Borges. He can simply place his paw on the playsheet. Will the offense have any kind of coherency? Nope. In other words it would be no worse than it is now. In fact, it may end up being a bit better due to my dog having no loyalty to manball.
November 9th, 2013 at 9:22 PM ^
November 9th, 2013 at 9:02 PM ^
Why not Fred Jackson, he has done it before and think of the hyperbole he would bring to the press conferences.....
November 9th, 2013 at 9:58 PM ^
Thanks.
I had posed the question earlier about who the hell would call plays if Borges was fired mid-season. I completely forgot the Fred was our OC in the mid-90's. Shame on me. So he called the magical Tim Biakabutuka 313 yard game against OSU?
November 9th, 2013 at 9:02 PM ^
Me. I put up mad points in NCAA '14.
That's got to be worth something, right?

The best is listening to the announcers two about how great Nebraskan players are playing tho. C'mon guys. Anyone could look like an all American against our line this year.
Spielman had to be just giddy inside.

Maybe it was his time with the Lions. Maybe it was his conduct when his wife was sick with cancer. He brings insights and most of all he seems to be able to put the OSU UM rivalry in perspective.
