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.

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.

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

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.

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).

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.

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!

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?!?!?)

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.

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.

... 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.
