Why doesn't Michigan have an experienced RB coach?
Why does Coach Harbaugh have his son ,a nice guy, coaching the RB position? Jay is getting paid a 1/4 million dollars and, to me, his inexperience is a disservice to our RBs.
Why aren't we investing in a top notch RB coach? Is there some sort of NCAA mandated staff limitation that we're maxed out?
This really bugs the hell out of me because it looks like nepotism but I'm probably missing something.

the worse decision was drevno somehow remaining on staff for 3 years

It was easy to blame the Oline Saturday because the pass blocking was shit, but I did notice more than a few times when Higdon missed some big ass holes and got knocked down by an arm tackle. I blame this one on Jay Harbaugh not being a competent RB coach. I also don’t understand why they don’t go after Mike Hart to coach our backs. Dude loves Michigan and would probably jump the gun to come coach here.

This again....you do realize last year we were 6 yards away from having a 1,000 yard rusher in Karan Higdon? Someone who started off the year 3rd on the depth chart? 6 yards away with the line we had last year. And not to mention Chris Evans who gives us production each play. The RB coach isn’t an issue.

Beacause Jimmy has more power than the Mayor in AA. His son Jack will be coaching special teams in the 5th grade.
not to worry, Jay will be selling used cars in 2020 anyway when his dad is excused.

This is full of stupidity.

I think our RB are fine and are two of the better ones in the country. I mean what can you do in situations like this? Runyan and Ruiz get beat inside and JBB can't touch his guy.. ND has both edges contained. Also they have the quick WR screen defended. It took ND 5 plays to figure out our zone read attack

That's Gentry on the right, not JBB. He's escorting his guy upfield which is fine. JBB is the guy about to latch onto the MIKE. The play was blown up by Runyan's guy, everything else looked more or less fine, which gives me hope for the season of they just get Runyan squared away or replace him with someone better.

JBB doesn't latch on to his guy (see above) and if Higdon somehow made it through the line he (4) was not blocked. They had issues blocking people at the 2nd level as well.

Good call, I was going off of your screenshot amd memory. I thought you were confusing Gentry for JBB based on how you worded your post (comprehension fail on my part).

Nepotism.
