On Harbaugh, Brandon Redux

Submitted by WFBlue on

I was re-reading a post Brian made almost two years ago in the depressing last season of Hoke and Brandon and I thought I would re-post it as a reminder of how far the program and the fanbase has come. It is easy to forget, as we contemplate our current embarrassment of riches (coaching, roster talent and attitude), how dark those days were.

Brady Hoke wasn't evil, just out matched and unable to manage talent or see when people weren't doing their job. Dave Brandon, on the other hand is a self-absorbed, egotistical sociopath, a terrible human being who is only good at running organizations into the ground. UM should rip his name off of everything that bears his name around the university.

without those dark days, we wouldn't have harbaugh or be what we are today.  without harbaugh first going to the nfl, his time here may have been short.

 

now enjoy your negs

because in re-reading the post, it magnified my appreciation of our current program. I thought other members might feel the same way.  You and many others disagree and would prefer to forget the past.  I get that and understand it, I just have a different viewpoint.

I'm okay with it. There is something satisfying about looking back at a time when there was so much uncertainty, as though we were teetering on the edge of a cliff, only to have had it work out almost perfectly in the long run.

Besides, as bad memories go it could have been worse. Like this

This has nothing to do with this post. It was at the top of the threads so I said "fuck it". Utah is our arch nemesis. Fuck OSU. Fuck MSU. Fuck Rutgers, Illinois and fuck carrots. They've beaten all three of UM's last coaches.

Fuck a Ute.

Cue Fred Gwynne.

I for one will not hate on you for this post.  It's been a huge journey the past two years, for the football team and for myself personally.  And I like reminiscing about different times.  It wasn't long ago that things were very bad with this team. 

 

Harbaugh.
