Consistent winning and beating Ohio State matters so much.  People forget that high school kids have a short memory.

I know for a fact that he was not terminated on the field.  He was called into the office to have a private

meeting with Crow and Ray Anderson the following morning where he was let go.  The 3 of them typically met on the field after the game.

Chris Karpman, an ASU insider, did a podcast on this.  

Nothing to see here!

ASU alum and booster here- The entire fan base wants him gone but it likely won't happen.  Crow, the president, is calling the shots and had several opportunities to fire Ray Anderson over the years and chose not to.  The fan base is pissed.  Several high dollar donors not cutting checks until RA is gone. Hopefully that moves the needle.

A win over a winless Arizona is not something the brag about but none the less, congrats, Hoke.

A very well known and current power 5 football coach told me tonight that the 25 per year will more than likely be increasing to 32.

He also said that the smaller bowls will disappear and the playoff will expand the second TV contracts are up.

We are living in a clown world.  What a joke!

This is such an awfully run and beta program.  It's sickening.  Our decommitted recruiting class is about to rank much higher than our actual recruiting class.  

Urban will do well anywhere…

Urban will do well anywhere he coaches.  Read "Above the Line" and you'll know why.  Take away the shady back office stuff and problem players- he is a culture driven guy that won't tolerate anything less than winning.

Read his book “Above the Line” and you’ll understand why his culture wins with players and coaches.  I do not agree with plenty about Urban, however, he is a winner.  

Hmmm... winning matters? …

Hmmm... winning matters?  That's a weird conclusion I'm not used to.  Thought we could just continue winning the recruiting battles and loosing on the field.  Yawn.  Wake me up when there is a winning culture and a good product.  

Very involved ASU alum here…

Very involved ASU alum here.  Had the pleasure of having breakfast with President Crow this morning.  He's done tremendous things for the university on both the athletic and academic sides. 

I would not go as far as to say he's slamming Michigan.  Trash talk and facts are different things.  Everything he mentioned was based on fact or the desire to beat Jim as head coach instead of player.  I see nothing wrong with this.    

I hope the schools get this thing scheduled.  Growing up a Michigan fan it will hurt like hell to be wearing Maroon and Gold- but I did spend a healthy amount of money going to school there.  Plus, I would love to be able to reopen the Herm hiring thread and be an "I told ya so."

I care because he's correct…

I care because he's correct. Anyone who denies that recruiting at an elite level wins championships is delusional.

It's discouraging to hear that we do not have a formalized process that works in recruiting.  Until we get our shit together, we will win 8-10 games a season and continually lose close games.  

Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma, OSU, LSU continually have top 5 classes.  Not just 1 every 5 years.  That is the level Michigan needs to recruit at.  Every. Single. Year. 

First post in a long time. …

First post in a long time.  I agree with almost everything you said except the Urban hire and securing evidence of a rival team/player breaking the rules.  The Urban hire will never and should never happen.  On the second item, the beauty of the SEC is they all cheat but nobody rats!  The only time an SEC school gets in trouble for anything is if they are blatantly obvious about crossing lines. IE Ole Miss a few years back.

 

The truth is, until Michigan wants to be competitive, they won’t be competitive.  The school, the coaches, the fan base won’t agree to do what it takes to win in 2019.  Everyone wants to bitch and complain but nobody wants to accept a reality of what it takes these days.

Pitiful effort on the recruiting trail. All because a guy who needed to apologize to his OL for coaching poorly is still a coach. The greatest way to look at the future is by looking at the past.

ASU Alum and very informed on

ASU Alum and very informed on this hire and the process that fired Graham and hired Herm.  Our AD, Ray Anderson, and Herm are good friends.  Ray is pushing to keep our coordinators and other staff to let Herm focus on recruiting.  

It should be a good hire for ASU.  

Regarding Graham.  Todd Graham left our program in a much better place than where he found it.  New stadium, better acedemics, etc.  However, his recruiting has steadily gotten worse.  Mediocrity went on for too long.

Not surprising.  

Definitely looking forward to uptick in recruiting, though.  The Bama and OSU's of the world never take their foot off the gas.  We can't either.  Can't imagine what Harbaugh would do with a 5* starting lineup and high caliber guy behind him.

This receiver haul may be epic. Hope to get Oliver Martin as well.

Interesting to see what names were left off the list. Jordan Anthony being a Rivals 5* and not in the Scout 300?

When they build a statue of Harbaugh at some point, the plaque should say, "I have never eaten a booger in my entire life."- Jim Harbaugh

ASU will have the arena issue

ASU will have the arena issue solved within the year and it will be high end.

There are talks of it being where the baseball stadium was, the corner of university & Mill, or downtown sharing with the Coyotes.  It will be a good situation.

Lots of ex-NHL guys reitred in metro Phoenix that are showing massive support for ASU hockey.  

Chuck!

If the coaches can keep Tee Higgins thinking that Michigan is south of Tenneessee then I think we have a real shot.

Not here to argue. But agree to disagree.

Without the jumpman, the concept I'm referring to was a clean and simple uniform designed by some guy on the Internet. Still liked it.

If adidas made it, I would have liked it. But man, you're right. The adidas logo looks like trash on uniforms. I guess I agree with you.
