Apologies. I was indeed, very inebriated. I took my frustrations out on an unsuspecting board, and for that, I am sorry. However, I do stand by my opinion. I find it hard to believe that there won't be transfers if Hoke leaves. Historically, is that not the general rule of thumb with coaching transitions? And yes, I have sat in on a few lectures of John Bacon and I can't say I cared much for him. Seemed like a pretty arrogant guy and he is obsessed with the historical significance of Michigan football. I guess there is nothing inherently wrong with that obsession but I feel that strong ties to the history are what limits the programs progress. The Michigan base always appears to be so resistant to change and holding on to a history that is so distant by this point in time it's not very relevant. It's a fantastic history, but I don't think it should have the strangelhold it does on the program. I did not read Three and Out but I do know that it is about the Rich Rod era and I assume you are addressing lack of transfers following his exit? I think that would be more a credit to Hoke and his coaching staff than it is to the ties the players feel to the school itself. Basically what I'm driving at is that I don't believe any player would stay solely because "this is Michigan". Maybe that would have been the case 20 years ago, but in today's world I just don't buy it. Players want to win and showcase their talents for the next level, and that is not going to happen at a school in transition/turmoil. I would be willing to bet that the retainment of recruits between Rich Rod and Hoke is more the exception than the norm. Of course, I could be wrong, but that is just what my heart tells me. Anyway, that was what I was trying to say, but I was too drunk. Reminded me of the days when I blackout texted the ex GF. Atleast that still felt like college...
are Mich fans who think our job is a top 10 job anymore? It isn't. That's not me being a cynical fan that's just straight up the facts as things stand in today's landscape. Mich is not a top coaching destination. There is a serious disconnect between what our fans think of our program and what the rest of college football thinks of us. Programs that are a better job opportunitity than us right now:
And that's without having to think too hard. And yes I do believe these programs are better coaching opportunities than Mich. The first step to resurrecting the program is knowing where you stand and I believe that if the entire fanbase thinks we deserve the second coming of christ as our next coach, then nothing wiill change here.
get off your high horse. Please. If you're bringing in top recruiting classes every year and fail to convert talent that is not unwarranted criticism. blah blah blah you don't unconditionally support your team blah blah blah you're bad fans blah blah blah. You sound like my mom when she went through menopause. At the end of the day, it is year 4 under Hokemania, and that is some shit ass product they have paraded on the field for the last 4 weeks. I don't think it's the least bit unreasonable to criticize for the horrid play we have witnessed recently. And I don't think it puts us in the realm of inpatient and stircrazy crappy fans. We just got beat by a mediocre ND team 31-0. Again it was 31-0. Honestly, you are a shit fan if you don't put pressure on Hoke right now, not a "patient good fan". The product on the field the last couple of weeks is indefensible.
I graduated in 2010. I've always come on this site to follow the team and peruse the angry opinions after a shitty loss. I've never been compelled to join mgoblog until now. In my drunken stupor, I felt it necessary to break my 8+ years of silence on this blog just to let you know how ridiculous your comment is. For the love of god, this is the dumbest comment I have read on this board in the last... I don't know how long. I only hope for the legacy of my alma mater that you went to Eastern or some other piss ass school to be posting some kind of garbage like this. I mean, I don't really know what to say. I am literally speachless. Yes. You are right. The world has rainbows and sunshine and lollipops. And no one cares how much money you make. And money can't buy you happiness. And social security is a solvent system. Literally. Speachless.

Mich is not a top coaching destination. There is a serious disconnect between what our fans think of our program and what the rest of college football thinks of us. Programs that are a better job opportunitity than us right now:
Ohio State, Texas, Oklahoma, Florida, Alabama, LSU, Auburn, USC, FSU, Georgia.
