Why does it 'really' need to be changed?
Perhaps this is Brian's commentary on the state of the program; it's not like it's been months since the coaching change and the search. The emotional baggage related to the event(s) hasn't dissipated to nothingness just yet for many of us. I think a parallel would be, when does the Christmas tree come down? Right after Christmas, after the New Year, a week after the New Year? Is it a matter of beliefs or propriety? Considering it is HIS blog, I think the decorum is his to determine; personally, I think the lack of change is a message sent and when he's finish sending his message, it will be changed. Either that, or he's in the midst of a bender and might not even know who he is.
January 16th, 2011 at 11:22 AM
#320
Agreed
I almost feel bad for Brian to have to listen to this.
This is his blog - something that any human being (in the developed world) can create to express his or her opinions and do what they want to do. If you don't like his banner, or his "whiney ass rhetoric", then don't visit the blog. It's not Brian's fault that his opinions and work happen to be so good that his blog has become the place to get M football news on the web.
Of course it's only natural to have an opinion on things, but to act as if your opinion is better than Brian's - while not doing 1% as much for M football fans, and having comparatively less insightful information to share is only an expression of what an egotistical ass you are.
If you want the blog to be different than start your own - I'm sure you'll get just as many visits as Mr. Cook. /s

This banner = fail
I agree that it's childish. It also pessimistic, condescending, and filled with DOOM. Here's the thing. Recruits who are deciding whether or not to come to Michigan are free to look at this site. Players currently on the team know that Brian is not supporting them. Coach Hoke knows that Brian doesn't like him and he probably won't come back. I'm not saying that the recruits willl make a decision based on it, but it can't help.
Speaking inteligently about the hire is one thing. Crying over and over again about how RR was treated vs. Hoke, or how RR shouldn't have been fired is whining. I think we should put together a team of monkeys to create an alternate site for people who don't want to see this bullshit until it is changed.

everything now that we have a coach
From left to right:
1 Picture of DB is not a happy pic (he looks like he's got a bad case of tacopants)
.2. The "coaching carousel" is over. The ride stopped and Hoke is our dude.
3. The explosion went with the "Doom" comment that has since been changed to dancing with fancy shoes that sparkle in the moonlight.
4. Seriously? Brian didn't think Hoke had a chance of becoming our head coach, and not taking his candidacy seriously is not really something I want to be reminded of daily. I'm a Michigan fan who supports our coach.
5. Chucky. I really like the first movie, but as with all horror trilogies this got worse as it progressed. No, really I thought Gruden would have been a good idea. But again, we have a coach now who is not an announcer for MNF.
6. The Kitty. However cute this little one is, it doesn't need to be held. BH is a good coach that will build our program back to the top of the B1G where it belongs. We don't need to be coddled because we're gonna kick some ass with this guy.

Two points:
- You care an awful lot about some stupid shit that really doesn't matter at all. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Brady Hoke has other things to worry about than the banner of a fan site that he almost certainly doesn't read.

It's not doing anything, (mostly because my argument skills are sad, and I end up just making people mad) and I really think all these people will come around. I mean, there might be some people who become fans of whoever RR coaches next. Most of these peeps will still be Michigan fans. They will still buy tickets, turn on the tv, and support the team.
