What would Mary Sue do?
First post from a long time reader. So please.. be kind in your plot to kill me when you are inevitably dissattisified.
I saw this posted in the "Brandon on e-mails.." thread..
"I know its got to be extremely tough for Schlissel to make a change like this, especially less than one year into the job, but this comes with the territory." -Russale2012
It left me wondering.. I am a student at Florida and a long time fan of everything Michigan/Detroit, so my familiarity with the adminstration at Michigan is slim outside from the surface level information I have read from this Blog. With that said.. What would this situation look like if Mary Sue Coleman were still the President? Would the timeline look different? What would be her reaction to a protest on her front lawn by the student body?
I imagine that a year into a unique job like being President at the University of Michigan would make me extremely cautious and thorough in making an athletic department change, but if this were say, year five of Schlissel's tenure, what would be different?
As a fan caught in the middle of two of the biggest stories in college football right now concerning coaching hot seats, I am eager to here your insights.

So...probably nothing.

Just an aside, but am I the only one that's not really comfortable with painting Mary Sue as a raging, out of control drunk? I have no idea what happened at halftime of that game and I suspect that the full story will never become fully clear. With that said, she really did a ton to raise the profile of the university and was beloved by most of the student body, at least in my four years here. It feels wrong to just tear her apart based on presupposition and an ingrained desire to paint every statement by the AD as a lie.
