Wow, you sound like my son, lol. 
 

No coach did more with their existing talent level. None. Period. Huge win at the toilet bowl with our best player out. Big wins at Iowa and against PSU. And beat everyone on the schedule. Only GA did similar on the field, but with much greater talent. 
 

Thank you for staying Jim. Those that stay will be champions!!!!

Two years in a row would be awesome!  But it doesn't feel like it's in the cards given the lack of love Michigan players and staff have experienced so far this season...

He's had a great season and happy he got recognized.  Still a little weird to see Harbaugh, Riley, and Smart on the list while guys like Leipold and DeBoer aren't considering how they did this year with flawed teams.  

Still, happy Harbaugh is getting some love for another great season given what he had to replace

I'd expect Sonny Dykes to get it, because TCU came out of nowhere.

 

I think Dykes, Harbaugh, or Lincoln Riley would all be fine choices, and I don't even like Lincoln Riley.

Region 3 is known for technology, though it also makes various mechanical products like automobiles and firearms. Region 3 is one of the more rebellious regions. Its citizens live in abject poverty, as they were one of the first regions to start an uprising during the Dark Days. Most of its inhabitants work in factories and are very adept at engineering.
