Just not for The Game. 

Just not for The Game. 

Technically, we caved into…

Technically, we caved into the Big Ten.  Or, are you talking about another time we caved in?  It’s hard to keep track. 

Yes. It’s too soon. It will…

Yes. It’s too soon. It will always be too soon!

If I’m being fair, I laughed at your post.  But damn!  That whole was era was just painful.  

This is the way. 

This is the way. 

Seriously?

Seriously?

He might start the next two…

He might start the next two years, but I bet only one of them will be in college.  Still, I take your point. 

Can’t we replace Sabb…

Can’t we replace Sabb through the portal when it next opens? We’ve done pretty well there in the past couple of years. 

This just means he’ll have…

This just means he’ll have an NFL job by Monday. 
 

Kidding aside, I like that there seemed to a plan and Sherrone moved on quickly.  We need this one to stick.  We also need to give Morgan Sabb’s number pronto. 

Thanks for posting.  Really…

Thanks for posting.  Really enjoyed watching it.  However, I now think we should have run more draw plays with Corum.  A lot more. 

A Michigan LEGEND who will…

A Michigan LEGEND who will always have the unconditional support of the Michigan fan base.  All the best.  He doesn’t owe us a damn thing. We owe him patience and support. 

I would have benched the guy…

I would have benched the guy.  Of course, I am not a coach and didn’t get to spend the day wondering what the new Super Bowl rings will look like. So, I’m going to say it was a non-issue. 

Can anyone explain why SF…

Can anyone explain why SF took the ball?

Wait a minute!  This is good…

Wait a minute!  This is good news and there is nothing to fight about.   The post must be removed.  Fire the Mods!

In the OP’s defense, it…

In the OP’s defense, it feels like a decade of shit has gone down since Harbaugh left.  And, it’s good news.  I say run with it. +1. 

I don’t know Clink at all,…

I don’t know Clink at all, but the publicly available information is that he has been negative about things since Jim left.  IIRC  he a middle finger on some social media account, etc.  Telling the players one thing and doing something else is just poor form.  Maybe he was told he’d be the next DC or something.  But, it didn’t happen.  Maybe he just can’t get over that, and, to be fair, I could understand why.  If that is the case, then it’s best for all that he go.   
 

I do think Sherrone needs to act in decisive ways.  He has lost the narrative here with the slow drip of departures.  He needs to make it stop.  I think it’s time to give people (including Mike Hart) a deadline.  If you have to, pull offers and move on the next option. (Yes, I refuse to believe they don’t have options lined up.  If they don’t, that is job 1 and WTF?)
 

Sherrone and Wink need to fill out this staff.  ASAP. I have confidence they will.  It’s time to gain back control of the story. 

So much goodness in the…

So much goodness in the video.  Hamilton getting pulled back to the huddle after the kick.  Mo and Lloyd hugging.  The grainy video.  Realizing number 10 wasn’t THAT number 10.  And, they called a 15 yard penalty on our fans only to have a dude with a neck roll not lateral.  To hell with Notre Dame. 
 

Sorry, what were we talking about?

It certainly appears that…

It certainly appears that Sark is dealing with whatever those issues are/were.  Cullen seems to have done the same as those were years ago.  While it might be a problem for some players and parents, I think both of these guys have a story to tell about overcoming adversity, personal growth and getting help. I hope that would resonate with more than it turns away.  

I think this works.  The…

I think this works.  The discussion on TKA with the Round Table makes sense.  He can come in for a year or two, work with Clink on calling plays, and then head back to the League. We get an experienced guy who can handle that side of the ball.  

This here board is gonna…

This here board is gonna fight about this hire no matter what, aren’t we?

 

 

Just make it stop.

Just make it stop.

Well played.  Well played,…

Well played.  Well played, indeed.

Per the sign on the door, he got 1000 bonus points for any cooler item.  Wonder where that cooler had been?

I keep reading bad news on…

I keep reading bad news on MGoBlog.  And I’m mad.  Fire Brian!!!!!  And Seth too!!!!

Let’s hope Jim didn’t text…

Let’s hope Jim didn’t text back that his deal for Sherrone would be twice what Michigan is paying him.  

This could mean that there…

This could mean that there is a plan and Cullen or Clink have the DC job.  Probably Cullen and they don’t want to announce it yet because Taylor Swift’s boyfriend said he can’t.  (Just kidding, he’s got a Super Bowl to coach.)  Elston didn’t want to stay since he lost the DC job and took NFL money.  This makes sense it that Minter was always gonna leave so Moore and Warde obviously should have had a plan. 
 

Or, it may be that Moore and Warde had no plan and were stringing Elston along while they tried to figure it out.  Jim gladly took advantage of the uncertainty and grabbed a top coach. 
 

Or, it could be something else entirely since I’m just a random guy on the internet and haven’t a clue what I’m on about.  
 

So, I guess I’ll get mad and demand that we fire Brian since I keep reading bad news on MGoBlog!

A beloved championship…

A beloved championship winning coach leaves.  A new coach is hired.  So, we all break into camps and fight.  It’s what we do. 
 

(No, I’m not comparing Moore to Rich Rod.  It’s just that history is kinda repeating.)
 

 

 

I would have thought there…

I would have thought there would be a plan.  Other than Herbert and perhaps Mallory, none of the departures were what I’d call a surprise.  But, it seems like we are completely flat footed w/o a clue.  I hope this is just because I’m an uninformed fan.  But, it’d be nice to see some hires. 

That is one of the…

That is one of the interesting aspects of the USC case.  True, USC is a private school, but the argument is that the conference and the NCAA are also employers.  If that argument holds, the Board could assert jurisdiction over state institutions.

The Regional Directors…

The Regional Directors report to the General Counsel who has taken this position for some time.  (An RD brought a case against USC, the PAC-12 and the NCAA alleging they are all employers of athletes who are alleged to be employees under the NLRA.  That case is ongoing.)

The Board itself still has to rule on the issue.  Assuming the Board finds student athletes to be employees, the case would go to the federal court of appeals and, possibly, the SCOTUS. Unless congress acts and modifies the NLRA. 

The USC case will be interesting.  

Right after Harbaugh left…

Right after Harbaugh left Sam said, if Minter left, the focus for the new DC was going to be someone who had called defensive plays before.  That is neither guy.  So, if we are trusting Sam, that always meant a new DC with departures likely. It should not be shocking that they would call Jim and see if they can get paid in LA.  

Those of us survived the…

Those of us who survived the 1995 Purdue “ice-rain” bowl know the truth.  

Wait!  Jim Harbaugh said…

Wait!  Jim Harbaugh said something that is 1. a little odd and 2. lifts up one of his guys?  Ya don’t say!

Every time I come to this blog there’s bad news.  Fire Brian!

And so it begins.   Or ends, depending on your perspective.  

Like a left field home run…

Like a left field home run ball.

Like a whiskey shot at last call.

It’s like Jesse was made for movin’ on.

That DC was going, going, gone. 

Yes.  Unless, no.  So,…

Yes.  Unless, no.  So, definitely maybe.  Perhaps. 

Could it be that this…

Could it be that this decision was holding up the others?  

Oh well.  I guess Uncle John…

Oh well.  I guess Uncle John isn’t going to let us borrow stuff now that Dad’s left, moved to California, and found someone new.  
 

I thought Orr was good to consider and I assume we did.  Who knows - it’s fine.  I think any combo of the current team would be good.  If we go outside the program, I’d like to get someone who knows the system and/or has called plays on the defensive side. 

Close. He actually made him…

Close. He actually made him get a Ravens tat.  OSU is going all in this offseason. 

I think Michigan needs an…

I think Michigan needs an innovative AD and Warde is, well, not that. However, this seems very one sided and the kind of thing that people put out to save face.  Like the leaks from the department that they gave Harbaugh all he asked for which came out about 90 mint before the news that he was going. 

Let’s see if this gets confirmed.  If so, then, yeah.   Not good.

I feel dirty cheering a Moody miss.  

Can talk about anyone else. …

Can talk about anyone else.  I’m referencing examples like Dante Moore and the DE who recommitted and went to Miami where up-front NIL seemed to be decisive.  You could also look at what OSU is doing in the portal.  Not saying we need to do that exactly, but I think we need to move in that direction while preserving the culture. 

I get that this approach…

I get that this approach aligns with the culture that has been built.  But, it is silly to expect people to turn down life changing money to be part of a good culture.  They need to find a way to up the NIL game in a way that builds the culture.

I am the only one thinking of buying a puffer vest?

Also, Grant is impossibly large to run like he does.

They rank pretty low in the NFL standings that I pulled up.  Maybe I looked at the wrong stuff. I’ll admit that I didn’t watch a ton of NFL this year, thus the question.  Do they run a similar system to Minter’s?

Just that he worked with…

Just that he worked with McDonald and Minter and knows the defense.  He would keep the system.  Thats it.
