Thats not likely.  Steve Alford was the RB coach at ND a long time under Brian Kelly, and thats a zone blocking offense.

I find that hard to believe

The OL was hanging on by their fingernails in the pass game for most of the day.  Never really lost it tho!

I would have to agree, and my wife gave him her highest compliment as the least annoying color commentator on TV, narrowly edging out Joel Klatt before a wide chasm to #3.

The real problem is that most of them cant make you believe that they mean what they say, or that they are even a real person.

It threatened that way in the beginning but they pivoted to something thats clicking pretty good

Its sad that people need the sociology of this country explained to them in 2024.

Youre either one of the dumber people who post here, or fantastic at playing the role.

 

This place needs a mute button.

That seems much less absurd than complete ignorance of the last 400 years or so in this country

I agree with you about a 9…

I agree with you about a 9 win minimum expectation.  Only 3 teams on the schedule can match up physically, and winning 1 of 3 is doable with 2 of them at home.

That wasnt so much of a problem until he tried to play professionally.  If DJ Waller turns into a supersized consensus All American safety I think we'll all be satisfied with that.

That does not factor into handicapping.  Past events do not influence future probability.

7 points on the road with that difference in QB experience is actually kinda flattering to Michigan, sight unseen.

Any trip to the West Coast…

Any trip to the West Coast is a potential horror show over my 41 years on Earth, but they are too physically developed to lose to anyone below the Texas/OSU/Oregon tier without MAJOR self-inflicted kicks in the sack.

Texas has a ton to replace…

Texas has a ton to replace as well.  Entire offensive skill group is gone, along with Sweat and Murphy, who covered up some weaknesses around the rest of the defense.

 

A 2.5 pt home dog sounds about right, and looks like a moneyline I may be interested in.

Jacob Oden looking like an…

Jacob Oden looking like an early candidate to lead the team in "thats why he plays defense" remarks from commentary.

 

Didnt watch the whole thing closely but it seemed like he was fighting the ball a bit.

Im not sure why ppl are reacting this way.  You didnt say anything unreasonable or illogical, and knowing this board, maybe 5% of the users watched an Oklahoma St game from start to finish.

Every coach currently…

Every coach currently employed anywhere is the "plan A" for that spot, so that probably isnt a constructive way to look at it.

I believe the Big 10 has…

I believe the Big 10 has done, or will do, something for Michigan that we havent heard about, and that UM didnt drop the TRO case because they thought they would lose, but rather as part of a quid pro quo "take this lil 3 game suspension and we'll do XYZ with the NCAA on your behalf."

His time at GT was top notch…

His time at GT was top notch in terms of development.

GT alum here - in the mid…

GT alum here - in the mid aughts we were rolling out an NFL LB or 2 every year.  Daryl Smith, Gerris Wilkinson, Philip Wheeler, and Gary Guyton all got drafted, and Ka'michael Hall was a very good college player.

Cant speak to a lot of that stuff, but his time at Tech was wonderful, and his last year we won the ACC.

This is exactly where i am. …

This is exactly where i am.  Ive actually been vaguely annoyed by the idea of it for the first time in my life.

This.  There are reasons…

This.  There are reasons those people werent already coaching in the NFL.

Theres nothing untrue in…

Theres nothing untrue in there, but a college coach taking a head job and filling out his staff with his college assistants seems like an odd choice.

 

Afaik, nobody else in the NFL was lining up to hire any of these people other than Minter.

Promotion and retention…

Promotion and retention arent the same thing.

A college position coach…

A college position coach lifer in his 50s going to the NFL is not a normal progression, and he knows that.

 

Jim Harbaugh going to the NFL was his first, last, and only opportunity to coach in the NFL, and as soon this runs its course he will be back in college.

You're just saying dumb…

You're just saying dumb things now.

 

Too late for what?

 

Disturbing that a raise doesnt keep someone from taking a promotion that they know they will NEVER be offered again?

 

Youre on brain tilt, and you should log off for the evening.

He had his whole staff lined up bc they were all already here.

He was searching to hire people while he already had people under contract?

You cant name a single KU assistant outside of the one that doesnt even work there anymore.

 

Cmon lol

"Threw the program away" by hiring RR?

 

Or threw the program away by letting shitheads like Eric Mayes undermine it at every turn?

In 2021 when the rules committee recommended a repeal of the in-person scouting rule.  Their reasoning was that since it doesnt really have any benefit, its a waste of resources to enforce.

Why was Zach Orr mentioned…

Why was Zach Orr mentioned so frequently without Chris Hewitt ever being mentioned?

Hes already hit.  My…

Hes already hit.  My personal opinion is that Alex Anzalone is so bad it actually brings the whole position group down.

If they got everyone here…

If they got everyone here tho then it wasnt a gamble.  He just knew something everyone else didnt.

Thats something people care…

Thats something people care about when the team is good.  Im a GaTech alum from a Michigan family in Detroit, and ive never known a staffer of that level unless the team was humming under George O'Leary or Paul Johnson...or that one lonely year under Gailey in 2006 when Calvin was a junior and we went to the ACCCG.

 

Since Paul Johnson retired I can barely remember position coaches.  They clearly werent helping us win.  But the way UM has been taking big framed children and putting them on the Freaks list and into the NFL, thats worth remembering.

OTOH Michigan just won a…

OTOH Michigan just won a national championship with the least highly regarded recruits in quite some time, so whatever mechanisms are turning those kids into NFL players is clearly highly effective and likely very sensitive to disruption.

I would liken that…

I would liken that transition being more about people being too attached to a damaged wheel to replace it with modern technology, but thats just me.

If he would stop working for his dad that problem would go away.

Paul Johnson could turn Alex Orji into 2025 Heisman buzz
