Lol, like that's an option. Do you think you're unique in having this opinion? I think 95% of the Michigan fanbase would trade this staff for Harbaugh in a second.
December 28th, 2013 at 11:44 PM ^
Why do you think we have any chance of getting him?
December 28th, 2013 at 11:50 PM ^
Next coach will not be jim harbaugh, John Harbaugh is going to coach Michigan.
December 28th, 2013 at 11:48 PM ^
Why would Jimbo leave Florida State?
December 28th, 2013 at 11:53 PM ^
LOL I want some of what you're smoking...
Why the hell would Jimbo Fisher leave Florida State for Michigan? There's literally not a single reason. Better climate, better talent pool, better conference, better athletic department, easier time recruiting.
December 29th, 2013 at 1:12 PM ^
To clarify my drunken post: I'm on board with Harbaugh. Not FSU Jimbo. I know we don't have a chance at Harbaugh at this point, I'm on board with hiring pretty much anyone.
In soberness: I think my drunken idea was slightly stupid, but my drunken self was obviously frustrated.

2012 fed ESPN jadaveon Clowney porn.
2013 feeding ESPN Lockett porn.
Michigan football. Making other teams look great since 2003
December 28th, 2013 at 11:36 PM ^
We have a bunch of idiots that play defense for us. Have some instinct call some good plays and execute. We suck ass our whole coaching staff is prolly eating food tryna to think of ideas on how we can win this game
December 28th, 2013 at 11:46 PM ^
what does any of that even mean?
December 28th, 2013 at 11:51 PM ^
if you figure it out
December 28th, 2013 at 11:37 PM ^
Goddamn embarrassment. Does this defense have such little talent? Who the hell coaches the secondary? This damn staff has one more year to figure shit out or they are going to get shitcanned.
December 28th, 2013 at 11:45 PM ^
DB got his guy and will ride it out until the bitter end.
December 28th, 2013 at 11:45 PM ^
Didn't Dave Brandon indicate that as long as he is the AD Hoke will be the coach at Michigan? So does that mean we get a two for one deal?
December 29th, 2013 at 12:01 AM ^
In all fairness most of our defensive talent are freshman and sophmores, which of course are young. Guys like Gordan, Taylor, Henry, Beyer, Morgan, Clark, Glasgow, other Gordan, Heitzman, Black, etc. are all 3-star types...not exactly what you'd consider talented. All our talented kids (if you go by recruiting stars) like Wormley, Charlton, Pipkins, Ojemudia, Bolden, Ross, Wilson, Countess, Lewis, McCray, Thomas, Poggi, Gedeon, etc. are all really young. Until our experienced guys are also talented we won't be great. I know it's an excuse no one wants to hear, but the majority of our starters are not that talented (by recruiting stars).
December 28th, 2013 at 11:37 PM ^
Oh wait the half ended!!! Mattison make some adjustments! It's hard to get behind this staff when all they give us is a shit show full of pooo!
December 28th, 2013 at 11:37 PM ^
How come Hoke had food poisoning the day before? Where did he eat? I don't get it.
December 28th, 2013 at 11:38 PM ^
playa much better half. 21-6 is still surmountable but we need to control the line and the LBs and CBs must get it going.
December 28th, 2013 at 11:42 PM ^
game is over, that lead will only grow from here. This coaching staff is hot garbage
December 28th, 2013 at 11:38 PM ^
I really dislike the mark mays/lou holtz/rece davis team. Switching to the UCLA-Bama to listen to...Bill Walton. Terrible night for announcing
December 28th, 2013 at 11:38 PM ^
We will win this game.., calm the fuck down already
December 28th, 2013 at 11:41 PM ^
Have another one.
December 28th, 2013 at 11:42 PM ^
Wrong this team has already gave up. I can see it in their play.
December 28th, 2013 at 11:54 PM ^
you will be back after the game to apologize to all the "bitches"--if we lose
December 28th, 2013 at 11:39 PM ^
I understand Lockett is a great Talent, but this defense is SWISS CHEESE so far. And again, Michigan cannot run the ball. Where is Derrick Green? Morris has been pretty good. I knew he had a great arm, but he has shown great touch.
I never thought I would be more concerned about the defense than the offense. Right now, the secondary looks awful.
December 28th, 2013 at 11:48 PM ^
All coaches will say it is execution! It is the last bit of cover they have for not having their players ready even though the staff has been here 3 years already.
December 28th, 2013 at 11:39 PM ^
Looking for a reason to go to bed early, and thanks to our coaching staff, the dream has been realized. Good night Michigan football 2013. See you next year!
December 28th, 2013 at 11:39 PM ^
In the last two games, the defense has allowed 9 touchdowns and only stopped 5 drives. That is awful.
December 28th, 2013 at 11:40 PM ^
OT what kind of wings are the players eating at halftime?
December 28th, 2013 at 11:41 PM ^
Gotta get the Carribean jerk son!
December 29th, 2013 at 12:07 AM ^
also enjoy Honey BBQ, mostly because they don't have a sweet hot sauce.
December 28th, 2013 at 11:40 PM ^
Positives:
Shane looks pretty damn talented if inexperienced
O-Line isn't geting him killed
Negatives:
Pass D
Kick coverage
Run D
Play calling (3rd down and goal speed option with Morris to the short RIGHT side?!?!?)
December 28th, 2013 at 11:40 PM ^
Fire funk
December 28th, 2013 at 11:42 PM ^
Fire everyone?
December 28th, 2013 at 11:41 PM ^
I sense a comeback
December 28th, 2013 at 11:43 PM ^
Post of the night. (It made me chuckle)
December 28th, 2013 at 11:46 PM ^
Me too
December 28th, 2013 at 11:41 PM ^
The demons are coming out of all of us. Let them free people
December 28th, 2013 at 11:41 PM ^
I know Borges is everyone's favorite whipping boy, but Mattison's had a bad, bad year. People have been rationalizing it away all season ("It's actually a good D, but it just gets tired/discouraged because of the offense"). Truth be told, the D has sucked all year, but the rank shittiness of the Big Ten hid this from view at times. This is the same D that gave up 47 to Indiana and needed two 4th-quarter goal line stands to escape Akron.
I was hoping we'd see an improved effort from the D with the month to prepare but no, it looks as it has all year. The DL gets blown off the ball, the LBs either can't shed blocks or blow their assignments, and the secondary is utterly lost. I don't know what the hell is going on because Mattison's certainly got the track record of a good DC, but we look badly coached out there.
December 28th, 2013 at 11:42 PM ^
But what does Hoke do? I'd like to know so I could blame him too.
December 28th, 2013 at 11:44 PM ^
The complete breakdown of the offense in games has overshadowed what has been at best an average defense. A lot of people on here have talked about how good the defense will be next fall, but I don't see it.
December 28th, 2013 at 11:46 PM ^
This season has me really questioning Mattison. This defensive scheme overall just sucks, and its boring to watch. We never put pressure on qb's or offenses in general
December 28th, 2013 at 11:47 PM ^
Disagree but I don't care so what's the point of bashing it out. Everything sucks!
December 28th, 2013 at 11:49 PM ^
They make so many fundamental mistakes in zone and man that it's a troublesome sign. The athleticism is average with both Taylor and Countess, but our coverage problems are more often technique issues.
December 28th, 2013 at 11:50 PM ^
Mallory IMO sucks as a secondary coach
December 28th, 2013 at 11:51 PM ^
I'm starting to fall into this camp also. I've come to terms that the offense will suck and random play calls will kill drives (ex. that weird option pass thing they ran by the goal line),but the defense is really surprising. I don't want to bame Mattison, but I feel like I have to. The defense has definitely regressed from last year, but it has a lot of the same players. I'm lost and don't understand just like the defense right now.
December 28th, 2013 at 11:42 PM ^
... there better be a mass exodus of firings handed out because as of right now our only bright spot has been our freshman QB.
I've about bled all the maize and blue running through my veins at this point... But, alas, Go Blue.
December 28th, 2013 at 11:42 PM ^
Hopefully will be better next year....
wait i am starting to sound like a Lions fan
Will never go anywhere with Hoke and his staff period..pay up and bring a winning coach, these guys are a joke
December 28th, 2013 at 11:51 PM ^
They're paying him like a big time coach, that's what's so sad. But a turd is still a turd, at any price.
December 28th, 2013 at 11:43 PM ^
Fire Mallory.
December 28th, 2013 at 11:51 PM ^
and who ever our LB coach is. Why is Morgan playing
