Belly out, chin out. Can't lose

He hasn't won a single game as head coach, but I love this guy

I see the future. I see history. I see Victors.

What do you see?

That big boy wearing #90 is Bryan Mone.

Possibly Maurice Hurst next to him.

After looking up some names on the official roster it looks like the group that has their backs to the camera are all DBs.

I see Greg Mattison in the far right of then pic - right below then window.

We were suppose to be looking for Mattison, not Waldo, right?

I will tell you what I don't see. I don't and never did see LC standing next to RR. Nope. Never saw that one time.

Now I will stand back and watch the pot that I just stirred.

He ruined UM football, destroyed it. In fact, JH should go all out Tom Crean on his ass, and be refrained while shouting, you ruined my program!! I mean, he did hire Brady Hoke first after all. Definitely can't leave that out. And letting Grbac come talk at practice too?!? Geesh, you know how many interceptions that guy threw?

I take it someone has never read Three and Out and/or doesn't trust John Bacon. Lloyd was a great coach, I was a staunch defender of his when he was here and people were spouting "Fire Lloyd!" in the stands and outside the stadium (~2005). Then he did everything to ensure Rich Rod failed here and I lost a lot of respect for him. I have met the man plenty of times and he is pleasant, and his on-field performance speaks for itself. I just can't look at him the same after Coach Rod's tenure.

Bill Martin and Lloyd played equal parts in our downfall, of that I'm certain. Lloyd is a great coach and has a ring so he gets to come back. I don't see any reason for Jim to ask Bill "I'm on my sailboat and can't answer your call, Les" Martin back...thank the Lord.

He was a good coach for Michigan, won a NC and a lot of games otherwise.  But the way he retired still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I wasn't a fan of the RR hire, especially when Les was willing to come here.  All Martin had to do was wait 5 mins for him to win the NC at LSU.  How awesome would that have been for MIchigan to sign a coach that won the NC at another school a week prior?

That would have been truly awesome. We might not have Jim right now, but in the moment it would have been an equally "Grand-Slam"-type hire. 

That being said, how great would it have been had Lloyd not said "hey, Mario and Adrian, you two should go pro. Oh, and if anyone wants to transfer out *cough, cough*Ryan Mallet*cough, cough* I will sign your papers right here and now. Also, Rich, I will not be available to give advice on the transition nor am I willing to help you out in anyway, even though every coach before me has done so during a coaching change." 

RR wasn't my number one choice either, but when he bookends his time here with two top-ten programs it becomes pretty clear that the problem at Michigan wasn't necessarily his coaching ability, but maybe the influence of people around him.
