Do we win the Utah game if LLoyd is coaching?

Submitted by eganrut on

The question is simple.  Do we win this game if Lloyd is

still coaching.  Yes the O would have been a little better (think

Mallett fumbles).  But historically M's d couldn't stop the spread.

The D did do a allright job in the second half.  Let me know 

what you think.

Sorry, but this is a horrible question.  Everyone needs to stop comparing RR to Lloyd.  They are two completely different coaches and people.  It is RR's first game and everone is going crazy...they can't run,  our QB's are bad,  we should run more, defense is still getting beat by the spread. 

 Just get off his back and let the an coach atleast a few games to get a feel of what he is going to try and do this year.  The first game was a feeling out process for both coaches and players.  

Just give them time and everything will be okay,  you can get off the ledge and just enjoy the process.

If Lloyd were still the coach we'd still have Mallett and probably Arrington or Manningham. This is completely baseless speculation based on impossible circumstances. It's like asking if my aunt had a dick, but then we cut it off, would she still be my uncle?

Who cares about this?  This is completely irrelevant to ask.  There are so many variables about this that it is incomprehendable to try to answer.  Do all of the same transfers occur? Do Manningham and Arrington leave?  If anyone tries to answer this, they might as well throw a dart at a board with the answers posted to it. It is so irrelevant to try to live in the past.  Why do you care about what will never be known?  I loved Lloyd but the team was getting worse and worse by the year.  It was time for him to leave and questions like this only cause more of the "OMG I do want change. I'll take 8-4 every year so I can at least bitch about the same frustrations.  AHH!!! Change.  I want Lloyd" bullshit.  Please, don't post any more questions like this.

Mabye I need to clairfy myself.  I still think Michigan would loosw if Lloyd was coaching.  I just think the fan base would be much more pissed off (The Horror x 2)

This fanbase whines like a spoiled 12 year old when they don't get the deluxe easy bake oven. No. Matter. What.  They could have beaten Utah by 40 but some people would still bitch about something.  I know all fan bases do this but UM fans do it more often and are less entitled to demand perfection than the other big programs.  And don't give me the "most wins in history of the universe" shit.  The last ten years UM has been above average at best.  I know what you were getting at with the question but all it will do with some of these fans if throw gas on their fires and that is something a lot of us here are trying to avoid.  Plus, hindsight is 20/20 and I hate Barbara Walters, so therefore I hate hindsight.

From what I've heard, Mallett was out of here no matter whom the coach was - he burned that many bridges.  And Manningham was definitely going pro - that was an open secret all season.  Maybe Arrington would have been a little more likely to stay, but with Henne going,  I suspect he'd have gone too.   The one guy who'd probably still be here is Boren.  Big deal.

We do need to get past this.  LC is gone.  RR is our coach.  Barring a ND 2007 debacle, we need to give him a few YEARS before he is properly evaluated, not one game with more freshmen starter than my dorm hall freshman year.

I will take one stab at this general question, because this line of question has me quite fired up.  Under LC, we would get killed with this roster.  The traditional Michigan appraoch of power running and a vertical passing attack would suffer under the poor OL play.  We are going to be challenged to line up and run right at teams.  And we will not have many snaps where our QBs can take a 7 step drop, scan the field and step into the throw in a well established pocket.
