What offensive coordinators can we realistically get?
December 29th, 2018 at 3:19 PM ^
I would kill for Brian Wright
December 29th, 2018 at 3:27 PM ^
I’d say anyone from Oklahoma or the Big12.
Shit hire someone from Urban Meyers coaching tree. Mullen, Herman and Day have collectively dismantled Michigan.
A Mike Leach disciple would be good too
December 29th, 2018 at 6:00 PM ^
I don't think we should go full air raid. Maybe more like the Patriots, you never know what they will do week to week.With that said, maybe we have that guy here already, Ben McDaniels
December 29th, 2018 at 3:20 PM ^
I'd be fine if it was just Jim. The committee thing means we have split personalities that don't mesh. Need to unify things, at the very least.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:23 PM ^
Fuck Jim man, his playcalling is ass and he eats clock so much that we would never be able to come back being down 14+.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:26 PM ^
Exactly. It all falls on the HC. Quit blaming the OC. He doesn't like something, change it, make it better. This is on Harbaugh.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:47 PM ^
It is on Harbaugh.
But it doesn't have to stay this way.
It is on Harbaugh.
And this off season is going to be interesting. The hardest decisions are usually not easy. And there are several difficult questions to examine.
Timeline will be interesting.
December 29th, 2018 at 6:10 PM ^
The hardest decisions are not easy? Man, I wish someone had told me that years ago, would have made life a lot .... easier.
;)
December 29th, 2018 at 3:20 PM ^
We aren’t going to get a good offensive coordinator... We will be stuck with the most predictable offense in college football all because of the stubbornness of King Harbaugh
December 29th, 2018 at 3:20 PM ^
Need a head coach without a vagina to start. Harbaugh has gotten warm and lazy in Ann Arbor.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:23 PM ^
That comment should lead to a banning
December 29th, 2018 at 3:49 PM ^
Not sure if its "warm and lazy", but he definitely doesn't show the same intensity or outbursts on the sidelines.
December 29th, 2018 at 4:04 PM ^
Maybe it was because his team consistently got hammered with penalties when he had outbursts on the sideline?
December 29th, 2018 at 3:20 PM ^
Harbaugh is not gonna hire anyone that takes away his offensive control. End of story.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:23 PM ^
Then he needs to go. If he can’t see his offense is hurting the team, then either force him to hire an OC or get him the fuck outta Ann Arbor.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:25 PM ^
Regardless how you feel, it’s not gonna happen.
December 29th, 2018 at 7:55 PM ^
Agreed, Warde Manuel is not the guy that's gonna make that happen.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:31 PM ^
I have to agree with you. People are complaining that the D is the issue (lately) but it still falls back to the offense for me. You can't expect even the best defenses to stay out on the field over and over and over and not expect them to be beat. The offense has to be better and has to score points or at least stay out on the field for awhile. Sheeeeesh
I just wish JH and staff could bring in more of a college offense and stop trying to use a pro style offense which is easier to defend IMO. There just is no .... hmmm ... anything. It's just so plain and predictable and has been for several years now. For me personally its been my only gripe about this team.
He has to see that (I hope) there is just no spark to this offense. It's just dead with no flash to it at all.
December 30th, 2018 at 12:44 AM ^
I have been the biggest Harbaugh slappy there is but that is over.
Imagine what UM would look like with the same defense and a really good offense. We probably wouldn't have beaten OSU but at least not get blown out. And we would have probably beaten Florida.
If Harbauh can't fix the offense, then he needs to go.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:20 PM ^
Or head coach!
December 29th, 2018 at 3:21 PM ^
The OL is garbage unless playing vs weak B1G teams.
December 29th, 2018 at 4:07 PM ^
They definitely didn't get any push today. They were completely handled by Florida's defense. The problem is the lack of available talent ready to step up and play. Maybe next year after another offseason of weight gain and technique training we'll see some improvement, but year one with a new OL coach isn't enough. The problem is that recruiting was terrible under the end of Hoke and with Drevno. There just weren't enough players who were going to be both good and ready this year.
December 29th, 2018 at 6:41 PM ^
Who recruited Stueber, Kemp, Dwumfour, Metellus, McKeon, Gil, Woods, etc.
This is what you get when you take so many 3 stars.
Recruiting rankings matter. Oh, and we took 14 more this class. Absolutely ridiculous.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:21 PM ^
Does it matter? This is JH's offense and he has shown no signs he thinks it needs to change. If you want a new offense, you probably want a new HC.
December 30th, 2018 at 12:46 AM ^
So be it.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:21 PM ^
Who cares? The bar could not be any lower. We just took a delay of game after a change of possession down three scores. It's a joke at this point.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:21 PM ^
Fucking anybody is better then this loser
December 29th, 2018 at 3:22 PM ^
It won't matter how brilliant the person is if Jim doesn't allow significant changes to be made and significant control to be taken away from him.
December 29th, 2018 at 8:51 PM ^
And I really believe that is the problem - he's a control freak that is going to have the final say in any offense.
Say what you want about Urban, but he was smart enough to turn the Haskins-style offense completely over to Day when he returned from his 3-game suspension and man, did that offense take off. The problems that OSU had this year were defensive issues, not offensive.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:22 PM ^
Something tells me we're stuck with Jim Harbaugh's as our OC. He always has been and ways will be. Until he realizes he needs to give it up we're going to be inept.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:22 PM ^
Harbaugh is so fucking overrated its ridiculous.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:22 PM ^
Jedd.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:25 PM ^
Jedd for head coach.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:23 PM ^
Probably only guys who have been fired and need a place to live for a year or two.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:23 PM ^
There are dozens of options that would work just fine. Anybody that can balance Harbaugh's lizard brain, like Jedd did, would work.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:24 PM ^
Harbaugh has become Hoke. Who would want to come be a part of that shit-show?
December 29th, 2018 at 3:24 PM ^
Gary Moeller
December 29th, 2018 at 3:24 PM ^
Empty seats only way to send a message! This is a basketball school
December 29th, 2018 at 3:24 PM ^
Have the QB calling his own plays at the line of scrimmage, and you can save over $1 million too. You will get better results then this piece of shit offense
December 29th, 2018 at 3:25 PM ^
Khaleke for Captain. No quit in that kid.
Time to seriously soul search on your offensive hierarchy and structure.
Clusture Fucks are fun with girls but not in football.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:25 PM ^
It’s not just getting an OC, it’s limiting Harbaugh to trust the OC, and keep his fucking hands off the play calling. His “system” sucks in that it takes so fucking long to get to the line and snap the ball.
The only say he should have is what to do on 4th down (kick, go for it, fake). Every year it gets harder and harder to want to continue my season tickets.
I love going, but when I spend more time walking around the stadium instead of sitting there watching a botched abortion, I have to ask myself if it’s worth it. Right now, no.
December 30th, 2018 at 2:15 AM ^
Oh shut up. Michigan was 7-0 at home this year and has more coming back and coming in than any rival on the schedule next year.
We took care of business at home.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:26 PM ^
Remember when everyone decided they liked Pep again because he "Came off well" in the amazon documentary?
December 29th, 2018 at 3:29 PM ^
This is on Jim bud. Harbaugh has seen this shit for 2 years and hasn't changed a thing.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:34 PM ^
I refuse to believe this is all on Jim after watching the first 2 years of Harbaugh with another OC
December 29th, 2018 at 3:26 PM ^
Delay of game. A damn delay of game when down in the 4th Q after receiving a kickoff when trying to get back in the game! Fire everyone on the offensive side of the ball not named Warinner. Seriously. Little Harbaugh better be gone too.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:26 PM ^
Pep sucks, but this is what Harbaugh wants. So who’s the real problem?
December 29th, 2018 at 3:27 PM ^
History says it'll either be a washed up former 49ers employee, a washed up former Stanford employee, or a washed-up recently fired college head coach.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:27 PM ^
Hire somebody born after 2000 so we can be sure he's gonna bring this offense to the 21st century.
December 29th, 2018 at 10:11 PM ^
So....you want a literal teenager as our OC?
