I'm not saying he's wrong for asking for some things but a lot of people have said that he wants to be wanted, to me Michigan should also want to be wanted.
"Harbaugh is also seeking a delay in the start date of the new contract to maintain a lower buyout that NFL teams would have to pay Michigan to hire him away. The buyout in his current contract dropped from $2.25 million to $1.5 million on January 11. Michigan is seeking that to rise to about $4 million in a new deal. Harbaugh has sought to have the new deal not start until Feb. 15, thus maintaining the lower, and more favorable, buyout number until after the NFL hiring cycle has concluded."
This isn't ok to me, if you want to go to the NFL say so, quit screwing around with it and making this a yearly thing. If he wants to be here and wants guarantees, Michigan has every right to want guarantees too.
Gap integrity on DL, make sure the ends don't get too far up field. Basically you want to squeeze everything, Michigan will run a lot of sim pressure and time their blitzes with the 5th guy. Disguising coverages will be what gets sacks this game.
As a coach, I can see where Deion is coming from. You look at 2021 Michigan/Ohio State when Roman Wilson's helmet was ripped off and the offensive line came to his defense, that's what he's looking for. A I got your back no matter what attitude. He has probably over 75% new players on that team and building a bond with each other will help all season.
Can we never mention Blake O'Neill around here again, every time I hear his name I can see that horror of twisting stumbling and still trying to punt and the parade of Spartans heading towards the end zone
Seems like Watt has some experience, coaching at Tulane for a year or so and playing in the NFL. Young guy could be good for recruiting. I'd say ND will be hurting again next year
I’m not a fan of Dickinson, he’s too stiff. That’s why he’s not in the NBA, probably won’t be. He has some good post moves but he doesn’t handle the ball well and beyond the post can’t create, doesn’t defend well either especially against more athletic players.
While in Ann Arbor for MSU I picked up a bottle of Woodson Bourbon, I haven't opened it yet or ever tried it but if Michigan is in the NC on 1/9 I'll crack it open. I live in SW Indiana so that was the first time seeing Woodson anywhere.
More athleticism and someone who can create their own shot. If you noticed during the midnight madness no one could really land a good dunk or seemed to have hops, this might not seem like a big thing but if you watched during the season athletic players gave us trouble.
How did you walk anywhere after Fogo, I usually need a nap. Downtown Indy is a pretty good spot, should’ve definitely went to St Elmo’s or Harry and Izzy’s for steak though
I was in the Keep Harbaugh camp last year, he's the best thing for Michigan. Was in 2007, 2011 and now. I will condemn Campbell for this season considering he had quite a bit of talent returning and didn't do a lot with it and has never beat Iowa.
Whoever says Matt Campbell needs kicked in the shin, dude can't beat Iowa and is one of a short list of coaches who went from ranked top 10 to unranked. Hard pass on the soup!
If we're being honest, everything needs to be better. This teams mantra is "Is it good enough to beat OSU?" and if they're being honest with themselves the answer is "No!" It's not good enough offensively or defensively, it's not good enough individually whether players or coaches. Play like that against OSU and it's 63-33 final score. 33 points isn't good enough, ever. DG wasn't good enough to beat OSU or MSU and he knows it, but I do feel like he can be critical of Cade for that reason. If Cade is being honest with himself he knows it wasn't good enough too.
Gotta roll with it til they lose an ugly game, the all white road uniforms have too much bad mojo. I was pumped to see the blue pants on Saturday! I thought they looked amazing, adding a maize block M would definitely set them off.
You know how we are around here with the angry Michigan hating gods and whatnot. If I have low expectations they can't destroy my expectations, it's for my mental health
After the roughing the passer call, Cade's footwork turned to crap. He got happy feet and couldn't put a drive on the ball. I'm 100% sure that Wisconsin will see the same thing and like the past 3 years will be head hunting quarterbacks
When you're bigger faster and stronger than almost everyone you play against it's not hard to not use technique. Same thing happens to offensive and defensive linemen, when you're bigger and stronger than everyone who needs technique? It's why there's not a lot of elite freshmen corners or OL/DL
OL everything starts up front, if you can't block you can't run or throw. You can only scheme your way through a couple plays. Ask 2013 Devin Gardner how important an offensive line is

One name Josh Schertz
"Jim's kid" is a top notch coach and I'm sure would be a very creative play caller. I'd be ok giving him Co-OC with Kirk Campbell

Listened to their assistant OL coach this weekend at a glazier coaching clinic. He did a good job, his name is Chris Watt. Wonder if he'll take over

They attempted no 2 point baskets!
I was in section 9 below them and didn't find them obnoxious.
The answer is always Charles Woodson
Herman, Klieman or Leipold would be my top tier.
Rhule, O' Brien, Joseph backup tier
Everyone else
Bama's secondary looked sus to me.
Jay maybe the most underrated coach in CFB. I was super impressed with him at the coaches clinic, he deserves a head coaching gig.
Hutch was the highest graded rookie week 1 preseason according to PFF

I wouldn't be scared of Bowman as QB2, looked good in the spring practice I saw. As did Dunlap at RB.

St Elmos is good, but I actually prefer Harry and Izzy's, they share the same kitchen as St Elmos. Get a sugar cream pie for dessert.
St Elmo Cola
Best Bourbon for the $$ Knob Creek
Most Underrated Bourbon: St Elmo
Most Overhyped: Not sure yet, just getting into this game. A lot of good bourbon out there there I haven’t had yet.

I'd take Mike Hart or John Harbaugh

"Georgia is Iowa but with the #2 offense in the country." This is supposed to be defense right? Because Georgia slots in about 8 below our offense.

Clemson’s offense is bad bad.
I believe when they play in South Bend it's midseason and if it's in LA it's later
Vegas(Oakland) back in play?

Not to be overly positive but Michigan was PFF's #5 defensive line last week.

Mine is a pic I took of Coach Harbaugh from the camp at Bishop Chatard in Indianapolis, I took some of the local high school players from Sullivan, IN

Somewhere along the way a man became greater than the team, a contradiction to the words spoken by Bo in his infamous speech.
