Clearly after losing two top 12 draft picks plus an all american, they're starting over.  Problem is, they didn't recruit/retain a DT for two years and instead recruited a mountain of DBs that are all useless.  This staff just has no idea how to construct a balanced roster.

So they're starting from not much instead of reloading like good teams do.

I’d be fine with that at this point. I was against that for a while, but am getting desperate at this point. I am sick of Michigan’s “holier than thou” attitude and “doing it the right way.” The likes of OSU, Clemson, and Alabama don’t “do it the right way” and are winning a lot. Actually, they are doing it the new “right way” by paying players.

Hopefully Harbaugh wins every game from here on out. But he abandoned what he was as a coach after 2016, his best year. He’s an offensive mind who runs a pro style offense. We run...a speed in space offense? A version of Joe Mooreheads offense? How’s that working at Mississippi State without Saquan Barkley? Don Brown is running a Big XII defense in the Big Ten. Hoke was a terrible coach but he built the 2016 team. The best one Harbsugh had. Yes I’m off the train, because I think the game has passed Harbaugh by. Gattis isn’t the guru we hoped/ Harbaugh hoped. Now we’re nowhere with who knows what. I have no idea where this team is strong.

Agreed. The guy on the sidelines is not the guy UM hired. Someone said they thought he changed after meeting the Pope. I don’t know about that but this isn’t the same cocky guy that stepped on toes and pissed people off all the time. He used to know he was better than you and that he was going to beat you. He’s not that guy right now.

That would make a lot of sense to me... the Pope isn't who people think he is and he's in reality a very bad person. 

Maybe Jim has woken up to the reality of this world and has not cared about football anymore..  

Maybe people should do a little research into qanon and pizzagate...

Hey Jon Jansen, care to elaborate why ZC wasnt the starter and had like 5 carries? As fans we literally get nothing but false reporting from our own reporters. All the changes, injuries, player breakouts, schemes, it's all a lie. 

Two 5 star freshmen dont play for us (Hill, Hinton) why? I watch a lot of other games and see fresh all over the field. We have a walk on OLB getting caught inside every play. Why do players get worse coming here? Hudson was a nobody today, same with Hutch and Kemp. 

USC's 3rd string qb wrecked a top defense last night in Utah. Florida had they're backup in looking better than Frank's. Peter's looks like a different guy for Illinois. Psu's Clifford was 3rd string last season but looking pretty nice now. What about our QB progression? Can we ever get it? 

Michigan is the college version of the Lions. And that's so sad.

Michigan is the college version of the Lions.  You tune in hoping they won't be who have proved to be, but then they play and show they are a team with no hope of succeeding.  It has been this way since Bo passed.

Michigan won't win 7 games this year.  If they beat Rutgers, it may be the last home win this year.

The experiment is over.  Go get a Mike Leach and blow this thing up.

I'm not saying the fanbase should have inside information to every little detail but we also have like 40 fucking people reporting on Michigan football. Its time to get rid of some of these guys, cancel memberships, ect. They give the fans a false narrative, getting us to believe we can win certain games, progress certain ways. It leads the fans to be more critical when they dont get it on Saturdays

Or just watch the product and make your own opinion. How could you watch that army game and think Michigan was going to go in and beat UW in Madison.

 

I mean, I’m sorry people down vote me all you want, but that game should have been very eye opening. We are not a playoff contender. After today, I’m not sure we are even a big ten contender.

The last 6 games we've played, we've looked as terrible as we did under Hoke.  I never thought in year 5 that a Harbaugh team would look this disorganized, demoralized, and mismanaged

Well that's a weird time span to pick right -but even so that's 3 losses vs Florida, OSU and Wisconsin, all away from AA, and 3 unimpressive wins vs Indiana, MTSU and Army.

Hoke may still be here if we had only lost tough road games vs top 15 teams and bowls under his leadership. People forget he got fired primarily because Minnesota manhandled Michigan in Ann Arbor and they then lost at Rutgers.

I don’t know how people can defend this anymore. Talented players come to Michigan and get worse. This is a poorly coached team that always craps the bed on the national stage.
