Loeffler has been terrible at his last couple of stops.

Money talks. If Brandon can spend what he needs then we can get who we want. If you pay them, they will come.

I see Cam Cameron's name a lot, but why would he leave LSU?
November 9th, 2013 at 7:48 PM ^
if he does it wont be for Michigan it will be back to the nfl
November 9th, 2013 at 8:14 PM ^
Same here. He and Les are friends, and he has that position already at LSU (who is winning more than Michigan right now). He really doesn't have any ties to Michigan above "he coached here before" which he currently has with LSU, only more recently.

Dana Holgorson. At least when his offense looks dysfunctional we can blame the fact that he's high, drunk, or both.

Well the offensive coach who is currently our OC caused us to gain negative yards on the ground so...can't be worse?

just put up 41 on Oklahoma.

Literally anyone.
Borges can be allowed to design the plays....we can use his playbook. However, he's not allowed to call plays or coach.
Hire him as a "play designer"...he can just sit behind a desk and think of plays to run. However, he gets NO control over what play is called.
November 9th, 2013 at 7:53 PM ^
you think the plays have been designed well?

I think CFB is the biggest sport when it comes to coaching. In baseball, they are called managers for a reason because they don;t have to do much. You have the talent you have and they play with the manager making very minor decisions. In basketball, you also pretty much have the players you have and if you don't have good players there isn't a HOF coach in the history of the league that can do much about it. CBB is much more coach oriented but still basically a game of who has the best players to suit a system.
In CFB, a HC can literally change a team in one or two seasons. We hired (and we all knew this from the get go if you knew anything about Hoke) a game managing HC. He basically leaves the offensive and defensive coaches to their own devices. Hence no headset (for those always wondering). To me, that is the exact environment I think an offensive coach or coaches would want to walk into. They're not coming in under a guy like Hoke and being told "this is what we're doing, go do it". This staff was told "we want to be this kind of team, make it happen but I realize we have major rebuilding to do so do what you gotta do".
Mattison has done his job. With what he inherited, he immediately moved our defense 100 spots in the right direction and while not perfect or looking pretty he has us in the top 20 in the country in most categories. We aren't losing because of GMatt and his defense of True FR-RS Sophmores.
Offense is clearly losing these games and on almost every level. The guy he told to "do what ya gotta do until we can be what we want to be" has been an absolute failure outside of a few games. Molk has proven to be more important than Lewan & Schofield combined as we haven't had so much as a below average OL since Molk graduated and those two were as young as the guys we have in the middle now. That is where Funk comes in. He has two NFL OTs but two true Freshman and a walk-on in the middle. Yet, they were highly touted. One supposedly COULD and SHOULD have played last year but this year cannot seem to get the concept of getting in a defenders way. How many times have we watched a single player, often a NOBODY, beat his OL (or two) and then the HB to get to Devin?
People don't like to read long posts so I'll end by saying that Hoke isn't going anywhere soon. His seat is not even warm. We knew we hired a game manager/recruiter/guy to make UM feel like UM again instead of the bad man from WV. The issue is whether he sees that, at the least, Borges is not working out. In fact, he is costing this team games by "doing what he's gotta do until we can be what we want to be". Only problem is that the talent won't keep coming if we keep him, keep losing and can't become what we want to be.
November 9th, 2013 at 8:07 PM ^
it's completely different than what he's currently running. I think Hoke told him to do MANBALL offense. Hoke to offense is what RR to defense.
November 9th, 2013 at 8:22 PM ^
Borges coaches with Hoke at SDSU. Is the ghost of Bo haunting Hoke telling him to run MANBALL?

I would love to get Loeffler, he's a proven QB coach and aligns more with manball than Borges ever will.

Temple? That was pretty impressive.
Auburn + VT maybe not so much, though.
