Losing hurts, but losing like this hurts even more
I don't care about the record books to the point were its crushed me that these streaks ended. Its the way they ended thats really been depressing as a Michigan fan. I mean I get that we have alot of young, inexperienced talent on this roster but even our offense has been able to put up some points in a few of these games. What happened to this defense?? Whats up with the motivation for most of these guys game to game & am I wrong by saying that we might have won another 2 or 3 games if they had showed up? I have to say I see enough talent on here that I HAVE to blame the coaching now that enough games have passed.
I mean c'mon, Purdue basically just put 50 on us. WHAT??! The offense showed up and thats what we got from our veterans? I just don't get it. Maybe for some of you it happened way before todays game but today wasn't just the low point of the season for me, it was the low of all time for me as a michigan football fan. I just didn't want to see it end like this. I figured after all we lost last year and with all the drastic changes that we might have a horrible year before this season ever even started. I was prepared for alot of losses. I just wasn't prepared to see this. I really hope this way of losing isn't something i have to get used to because losing is not acceptable to watch when players don't leave it all on the field. When everyone doesn't give 100%. I feel bad for some of these kids out there who are really doing everything they can when so many right next to them aren't. Maybe I just need some perspective but I seriously think i've heard it all and I am really starting to think for the first time that the hire was a mistake. Not that Rich Rodriguez is a bad coach, but a bad coach for us. I really hope I am wrong.

Speaking of rambling...
"There are certain players who are not on par however. And NO amount of coaching will change that. Some of these players, of all nationalities, have shown bad learned habits that they are not changing. It's been an awkward dating process. Rich and staff have been made to feel like some guy who is trying to date your mom and the kids are all confused and bitching."

"Ask anyone who coaches football about the hell they get week to week from parents who know everything."
As the son of a long-time head football coach, I can tell you all that this is a great point. Everyone thinks they know the secret to football. (And everyone thinks their kid is good enough to start but that is another story...)
Whatever the cause of this horrible season may be, two things I'm sure of. One, it's not ALL on the coaches. Two, the "exorcism" (as put by mth822) will lead to good things.
