I had to read this twice before I knew which UM coach you were referring to with...
The defense was historically bad, the offense couldn't do anything against decent teams, his recruiting was falling apart as was his image, and the program was in the worst shape it had been in for decades
RR @ Zona... 21-10, 2 bowl wins, 3 wins against top 5 teams (one each year) with 3 different QBs and a true freshman running back tonight. Took over a 4-8 Zona team with an unranked recruiting class in 2012.
Hoke @ UM... 17-14, 2 bowl losses, 0 wins against Top 5 teams with Denard Robinson and Devin Gardner (top tier QB recruits) and a completely stocked cupboard on offense and 2 years of his own recruits. Took a 11-2 UM team to 8-5, 7-6, 2-3.
WOW!!!! Thats perspective. Oh yeah, and the PAC 12 is a better conference.
but remember, assistants under Carr were very underpaid compared to pretty much every other big time program. Casteel was only making $350k at WVU when RR wanted him to come, and that was too steep. Fast forward to 2014 and Matison is making $800k. Also RR made way more than Carr, and Hoke makes more than RR did.
Salaries have escalated greatly, and I dont put that totally on Martin. He had just approved the $220MM stadium expansion. He was being mindful of his budget, but yes, I wish Casteel had come.
Hoke got destreoyed by ND, and lost a squeeker to OSU. And before you bring up Hoke's lone quality win against OSU, might I remind you, they were 6-7 that year... and probably the worst OSU team of your lifetime.
Utah and Minny... really? You wanna go there? RR never lost to Minny and nearly beat a Utah team that went undefeated and beat Bama.
and his politics and social views were a stark contrast to A2 when he arrived from Ohio. You may want to do a little more research about Michigan football and Bo in particular.
Go Blue! I agree with him. You troll everyone with this "what year did you graduate?" meme. Michigan is a great school but not the best. And it's a bad football program, not even mediocre. The sooner you accept that, like I have, the happier you will be.
Best post I've read in a month here. Being a Michigan Man also means botching a coaching search, firing a coach after it's too late for him to interview at other schools, getting drunk in a bar and being fired, being an All American wide Receiver and not being able to read when leaving college but somehow remaining eligible for 3 years under Bo, fleecing fans and alumni for money to put up a $2.5M digital billboard, dividing and fighting over a coach before he even coached his first game, having a racist as the godfather of the program, getting hammered and then giving a speech at halftime of the Nebraska game (Michigan woman but still fits the bill), ruining the #1 pizza franchise in the world, sabotaging the new coach cuz your guy didn't get an interview, not filing proper practice reports for 7 years and then conspiring with the media to call attention to the same practice under the new regime, etc, etc, etc.
Meanwhile, our rivals lose a season worth of wins, a bowl game appearance and
Are playing in the conf. Championship tonight while we sit around and Pound our chests at how moral and righteous we all are. What a complete joke!
Is that because Brian has monetized and sold his blog to advertisers. Guess what, everything he and the rest of the mods dislike about what DB has done to make tne AD more profitable is exactly what Brian has done to this blog. You guys are trying to clean it up so that advertisers continue to pay for space. Oh how the mighty have fallen. Welcome to the business world, and the fact that what made MGoBlog great will now be eliminated because you are trying to be something other than a sports blog.
and that's good enough for me! I'd rather go 7-5 and
Lose to out rivals than watch Rich Rod beat #5 Oregon in prime time on ABC right now. He is a terrible coach and didn't fit our culture... Of losing!
This one just solidifies your ignorance. Michigan is terrible at football. Brady Hoax is a worthless coach who is getting closer to returning to the losing record he brought to Michigan. Stop comparing Michigan to ND or MSU, it's unfair to them.
Why is it so hard for you to fathom that it's kinda lame at a basketball arena? On a football field with hundreds of members doing difficult formations, absolutely. In a small arena where noise is key and a a younger more energetic atmosphere is an advantage, give me a DJ every time.
For starters he actually finds a shirt that fits and he can Button up at least one of the buttons on the collar. Second, perhaps a t shirt that isn't white and with sleeves that aren't longer than those of the polo shirt? Let's be honest here, compared to almost any other coach, even Other obese coaches like Brian Kelly and Jerry Kill, the guy looks like a comets slob. He's a mess and is always unshaven on game days as well. He's the face of the program, he needs to step it up a notch. We get it Brady, it's 30 degrees and yu don't wear a coat. That's almost as absurd as not wearing a headset as the head coach, but I digress.
and therefor, I will give an equally ridiculous answer. Brady Hoke, head coach at
Michigan, also thinks Funk is the right fit to coach not only Kugler, but all of the o-linemen. So, he must either have thought he was a good coach or is completely clueless about coaching and
Evaluating coaching talent. Both of which may be true. Either way, Fire
Borgess!

When RR came here, he made a push, and basically it was UM or OSU. WVU was a distant and faint possibility.
Not the team who lost to them?
versus what I saw from Bellomy. You like apples? The PAC 12 is also a better conference than the BIG 10, so theres that.
In same timeline (since RR hire)

Cuz it could be either.
Who mustered a mere 24 against a RR defense??? Your argument is burying you.
but remember, assistants under Carr were very underpaid compared to pretty much every other big time program. Casteel was only making $350k at WVU when RR wanted him to come, and that was too steep.

We got smoked by OSU, but beat ND.

He's put a few more guys in the NFL than Hoke with one less year to do so. Brandon Graham would kick you in the face right now.
"Why settle for Les, when you can get Rick quick?"
and just accept the fact that Michigan fucked it up themselves. Thanks Snyder, Carr and Brandon.
on that list. Or "Return of the Mack"?
Takes an utter dump on Paul's Boutique... complete with corn and peanuts. Not even a debate. Center-stage on the mic, and we puttin' it on wax...
