Real coaching issues opinion thread

Submitted by BILG on

I want to start a thread to see where we all are on the coaching issues.  Seems it is mostly "Fire Al Borges" at this point, but I think it's deeper than that.  We have unsophisticated schemes and horrible half time adjustments and in game strategy.  Below is just my opinion, interested in hearing from the rest of the board.

 

Borges bashing is a distraction from the real issue.  Now that even the biggest apologists have given up trying to rationalize the offense to "youth on the offensive line,"  you know we are at the point where we need to take a deeper look at the issues. 

Brady Hoke is not and probably will not be an elite college football coach.  He has stabilized the program because he is a "Michigan Man", but we will only become a middling B1G program like Nebraska or Iowa with him in charge.  Wisconsin type 9-3 seasons are the ceiling under Hoke.

He has a heart of gold and can recruit like a madman because of his love and passion for the university...this is true.  But with absolutely no involvement or ability to affect any change on the offensive side of the ball, and having an A+ defensive coordinator already running that side of the ball, he is basically a glorified cheerleader.

If you are going to be a figure head coach instead of a guru type, you need to hold coordinators accountable.  Your house needs to be in order at all times...We are a sloppy, poorly coached team.  We have become a program very similar to ND...where good recruits come to waste talent.  Hoke has not the football mind nor leadership capacity to build this program into an elite product.

We can keep blaming and bitching about Borges, but it starts at the top.  If Hoke was ready for the job, he would be making half time adjustments and be hands on in fixing the issues on  offense.... Not to mention that Al Borges would have been fired already.

 

Thoughts?
