Chill the Hell Out
Guys, I know it sucks that we are 5-2, but seriously, everybody just needs to take a deep breath.
No one is getting fired. This is a very good staff that has tried to make it work with some broken pieces this year. How many people here predicted 8-4 before the season? A lot.
Does no one remember how bad things were during the Rodriguez years? Stop calling this the worst you've ever seen.
Seriously, calm the fuck down.
I will concede this: if Chris Balas was right about Brandon Peters (that he's proven to be a massive bust), then we're fucked. Otherwise, relax.

we have the best staff. the best. I know that because they are the highest paid staff.

The offense is very pathetic. I agree.

a year away? not with the offense staff. probably not with these QBs unless Peters has an epiphany.
OSU this year?! we're gonna get killed. Weirdly Hoke hung with OSU most years. He must have spent a lot of extra time on that game.
October 22nd, 2017 at 11:22 AM ^
I hope you're right about being a year away but let's look at this in a realistic way. Next year we play the first game most likely at night at ND against a team who is starting to look pretty good. They have Wimbush who has gotten valuable experience. Tough game to go into with one of the two guys not having any meaningful snaps. Then you have MSU with Lewerke who is looking decent and who has beaten us already. Then there is OSU with Haskins who is getting a lot of snaps because they are up so big.
Tell me again how we're one year away. So if we go out next year and lose those 3 games and Harbaugh is 1-7 against the two main rivals plus a loss to ND, I imagine things will start to feel a little different.
So if you love Harbaugh so much and want him to succeed then I would argue it is vital to start getting a QB ready to make some plays because if you fall to 1-7 against the two main rivals, it would take 3 years undefeated just to get back to .500 and we know that isn't how this usually plays out.
But yeah, we'll be just fine. Don't worry. Next year. Next year. Next year. Blah blah fucking blah.

We're on the same side here. I want them all to succeed. I'm saying the way to do it may be to get some snaps in for Peters or McCaffrey (whichever will be the guy next season) like the others are doing. They are preparing and we should be as well. If Wilton is to be the guy for one more year then that may change things a bit but I don't think we can count on that. Spinal injuries change your life many times, not just your football life.

Michigan opens the season at Notre Dame, and also goes on the road to Michigan State and Ohio State. Also Northwestern.
Oh, and they also have Penn State and Wisconsin on the schedule as well.
2018 could easily be another 9-3 type season.
October 22nd, 2017 at 10:59 AM ^
9-3 sounds optimistic. Who's the QB?
October 22nd, 2017 at 11:22 AM ^
Probably McCaffrey, but then you get all the fun freshman QB issues with that deployment.
Its probably not until 2019 that this is a legit Big Ten title and CFP contender.
Yay.

Wisconsin and Ohio State lose a lot of pieces every season and just keep rolling. ND probably loses Josh Adams on offense, but that's about it. And the changes Kelly has made around the program seem to have fixed their issues. So not really too concerned about them losing talent either. All three of those teams should be close to what this season's teams look like.

Sam Webb posted about how Peters is progressing and just needed more time. You can have a ton of arm talent and not be ready to run a complex pro offense.
I agree , people need to chill. Penn State was in a very similar position last year after this game. Things can change fast in college football...
I fully expect an 8-2 Michigan team with tons of momentum to head into the final two games vs top 5 teams.
My dream. OSU beats PSU and we beat OSU... this puts a two loss OSU in the big ten title game and likely leaves both out of the CFP.
HAIL

His homerism for Michigan isn't nearly as bad as it is for the Lions.
October 22nd, 2017 at 10:58 AM ^
Balas might be wrong about Peters but Sam Webb ain't no scout.
October 22nd, 2017 at 12:31 PM ^
Sam played for Flint Central. Don't knock him.
October 22nd, 2017 at 5:09 PM ^
His job is to be a homer. And I respect that. But his analysis is through extremely maize colored glasses.
October 22nd, 2017 at 11:17 AM ^
lol, so you think this Michigan team is going to upset OSU and Wisconsin on route to B1G championship ala 2016 PSU?
Delusional.

No. We want to win a Big Ten championship more often now than 13+ years. And we want to beat our rivals.
