Question about Defensive co-ordinator
We came back to AA for the Iowa game. Hadn't been back for 24 years. Our 3rd generation grandaughter is now a Freshman Wolverine. We watched our defense get torched again after the first 2 series. That night at Zingermans we met an alum from the 70's. We bemoaned the defense. He now lives in Austin Texas. He said that when G. Robinson was the DC at Texas his teams were the worst defensive teams in the SWC. The year after he left, with the same players the new DC had them as the best in the conference. He also said that the guy the RR fired (from Stanford) has gone to I think Syracuse and they have the best defense in the conference. Is this true. If so, then RR has no knowledge of defensive football and should not be the head coach at Michigan. If these facts are not true then I apologize to RR and the board. Dr. STeve

There is just so much fail with this post I dont even know where to begin. With all due respect to your degree sir I don't believe that some of your facts are wrong....I believe ALL of your facts are wrong.
You arent still working with leeches by any chance are you?

I actually thought of this immediately after I posted it, just too lazy to make it happen. Thank you for making all of my dreams come true!
October 28th, 2010 at 10:22 PM ^
I love the fact that you can tell the 'v' is the only letter you had to put in there on your own haha. +1 either way, good stuff.
October 28th, 2010 at 9:32 PM ^
Did the point limit thing just never go through?
But thanks for the Southwest Conference LOL moment.
UPDATE ('cause I'm a swell dude): Robinson was the defensive coordinator at Texas for one year (2004). The team gave up 16.2 points per game (good for 14th best in the country and 2nd best in the Big 12, not the SWC, behind only Oklahoma). The team went 11-1 and won the Rose Bowl.
LESSON: Just because some guy is smart enough to eat at Zingerman's doesn't mean he knows jack-shit about football.

Dr. Steve, you say? You wouldn't happen to be Dr. Steve Brule, would you?
October 28th, 2010 at 9:30 PM ^
For your health
October 28th, 2010 at 9:25 PM ^
Dr. Steve, Really? That is all.

October 28th, 2010 at 9:31 PM ^
Three question marks!!!
Aaaahhh, this thread is getting out of control!!!
October 28th, 2010 at 9:31 PM ^
October 28th, 2010 at 9:32 PM ^
By any chance is your degree in Trollology?
October 28th, 2010 at 9:34 PM ^
like we are the only two people to think this but you have the courage to say....touch my hand...
October 28th, 2010 at 9:39 PM ^
Did the "alum" also tell you that you are a "doctor" while floating above you on a cloud of dumb?
October 28th, 2010 at 9:40 PM ^
ahaha Dr. Steve = my new favorite poster
/s
October 28th, 2010 at 9:42 PM ^
I'm waiting for Dr. Steve to tell us to sit down.
October 28th, 2010 at 9:44 PM ^
Dr. Steve,
It's great that although your username is Dr. Steve and your signature line says Dr. Steve, you feel the need to sign your post "Dr. STeve" because you know that the third time is the charm.
Thanks Dr. Steve.

I bet he slept at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
October 28th, 2010 at 9:44 PM ^
If these facts are not true then I apologize to RR and the board
Apology accepted. I'm trying to think of how you could earn the board's approval... and I keep circling back to this freshman daughter thing...
October 28th, 2010 at 10:02 PM ^
Well, how many freshman girls with the last name of "Steve" are there...
October 29th, 2010 at 1:55 AM ^
The_Knowledge -- you've returned as Chuck Norris?
October 29th, 2010 at 10:44 AM ^
You never see the two of them soaring and basking together.
October 28th, 2010 at 9:47 PM ^
Is that you Dr. Lou ?
Dr. Lou...Dr Lou...
October 28th, 2010 at 9:48 PM ^
Can't be Dr. Lou, he didn't mention Notre Dame anywhere in his post.
October 28th, 2010 at 9:54 PM ^
You,re right but he did have all of his facts wrong...and that makes me wonder.
October 28th, 2010 at 10:17 PM ^
If Lou could ever open his yap and not say anything about ND, I'd still hate him. You'd think with all of his money he could get some dentures that fit so he can talk right. Good grief.
October 28th, 2010 at 9:50 PM ^
After you have finished brushing yourself off, come on over--we'll have a quiet chat.
October 28th, 2010 at 9:47 PM ^
This thread is hilarious, thank you Dr. STeve, you are a wild and crazy guy!
October 28th, 2010 at 9:57 PM ^
I donate my point to you so that one day you might get a f***in' clue.
October 28th, 2010 at 9:51 PM ^
The other ordinator?
October 28th, 2010 at 9:53 PM ^
GERG wanted Earl Campbell to play linebacker for the Texas D.
October 28th, 2010 at 9:59 PM ^
Gerg also wanted to move Vince Young to WR
October 28th, 2010 at 9:53 PM ^
How about you stay away from AA for another 24 years.
October 28th, 2010 at 9:57 PM ^
.....but I do think he believed a little too much of what the "RABBLE!!!!!" crowd was saying during the game.
October 28th, 2010 at 10:03 PM ^
It did occur to me that Dr. Steve might not be a troll (he's been a member for well over a year), and that this has turned into a pretty nasty reception of his post.
Then again, he's pretty off the mark.
October 29th, 2010 at 10:50 AM ^
Please feel free to post again this time next year. You'll be able to see the defense's progress and draw your own conclusions. Instead of the Zingerman's analysis. Love that Roadhouse Joe, though.
October 28th, 2010 at 10:23 PM ^
Yeah, I agree, I don't think he was a troll and the response was a bit harsh. That being said, he should have at least gone over to GERG's wikipedia page to see that he was DC in Texas in 2004 and the SWC hadn't been around for almost a decade.
October 29th, 2010 at 10:54 AM ^
The first thing I thought was SWC? WTF? That really shot his creditbility all to hell.
October 28th, 2010 at 10:00 PM ^
Hey Doc, how about this internet thing? Did you know that you can watch porn for free on this thing? What I am getting at is in the future when you get the urge to type something about RR or Michigan, jerk off instead. We will all be better for it.
October 28th, 2010 at 10:06 PM ^
October 28th, 2010 at 10:16 PM ^
Dr. Steve still tells his patients that masturbation leads to blindness.
October 29th, 2010 at 2:15 AM ^
and hairy palms too!
