Friday Night Football Open Thread

Two good games tonight, starting right now on ESPN2 is the FCS Championship Game between Delaware and Eastern Washington.

Then at 8 EST is the Cotton Bowl between LSU And Texas A&M.

Post thoughts here as you try to forget that we don't have a coach 3 weeks from signing day. Oops, shouldn't have reminded everyone...

I gotta say that tonights game has provided a lot of positive evidence for Les Miles.  I mean, they seemed to step up on D when it mattered.  They went run heavy but got a pretty good passing performance.  And, not to be overlooked: the Special Teams!

I understand everyone's concern over the oversigning and the craziness, but I think being in the B1G will solve the oversigning issue.  The craziness...meh, if he wins, who cares?

Been reading for years...

I definitely think Les deserves a shot.  Strong enough record with running QBs to make Robinson and Gardner feel comfortable sticking around, big enough national rep to make recruits stick around and even bring in new guys.  Knows how to build a defense.  Michigan background to please the bluehairs.  Have Brandon keep a close eye on him as regards the Mad Hatter stuff and to keep him from acting all SEC-like with the oversignings, etc. and cover that base.. 

And best of all, if he also hasn't worked out in three or four years, fire him and replace him with Brady Hoke, who at that time will have either proven that a) he really does deserve the job, having done a Harbaugh-esque job at SDSU or b) that he really didn't deserve a job of this caliber simply because he probably already owns some Michigan apparel.
