If there were a blog dedicated to my work, I don't think I would read it. I thought the internet was for getting away from your responsibilities?

I'm just not following the OP here, lol. You're implying that people who frequent this board (ie students, people on work breaks, or people who come home from work and check it out in the evenings), have some kind of valuable commentary on national HS football recruits and current conference/national offensive and defensive schemes? Like the people who come here and look at Rivals or look at film from games last year in their free time have more ability to dissect that information than the people who were hired (for millions of dollars) to do that full time, year round, and have been doing it exclusively for decades?
Does not compute.
Maybe they are and that's why we haven't been to a Rose Bowl in 7 fucking years.
Lock this thread.
Hoke is probably wondering why there are so many missing UFRs.
and daily he's disappointed: an Emo-style epic negbang. It used to the highlight of his week, but since Brian took it away Brady's been a broken, empty shell of a man.

To my knowledge only one official staff member of the University of Michigan's football team reads us regularly. His name is Justin Dickens and it is part of his job as the football media guy who decides, for example, if we get credentialed for games and if Heiko can interview Borges one-on-one.
As far as usefulness to the staff, the only bit I know of is compliance staff monitors our site as well as lots of others because the internet is good at turning up things.
Most of the stuff we talk about they already know 8 ways from saturday. The most unique and useful content on MGoBlog is Brian's UFR, and the coaches produce their own, far superior version in their film study, which uses All-22 game film (as opposed to the broadcast recordings Brian goes through) and has the advantage of knowing what the players were supposed to do on every play.
Perhaps the greatest proof that the coaches don't use MGoBlog to make decisions is the one thing where we've proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that we're right and they're doing something wrong is with spread punting, and they haven't gone to spread punting.
there is no 'All-22' game film being utilized in the NCAA.
They use a 50-yd. shot, and a north/south end zone shot. This video is traded over a series of tubes between schools.
This guy would know.
Yeah, whatever they call it it's got a better view of the game than we have access to is the point
The OP is a example of someone getting overly immersed in a context, in that he uses that context as a framing device for seeing the world, and then thinking it is the world everyone else must also experience.
I imagine the analyses done on this site both merely touch on the analyses the coaching staff does and far overexceeds what they think is necessary. For example, I think a lot of what long-time players and coaches who were players know to be true through repeated experience is what the not-so-long playing or coaching nerds break out into tedious and labored statistical analyses.
