Peach Bowl Snowflakes: The Coaching
December 29th, 2018 at 10:44 PM ^
Not so much. They basically do something like a 2-3 minute interview with Harbaugh now that he seems ready to bail on after about 2-3 seconds. It's not difficult for him to do a bit more than that for the sake of public relations and visibility.
And it's funny how afternoon games never stopped them before. And that it doesn't stop other coaches from doing shows, either. Just Brandy trying to deflect to save face.

How about a not bold take?
December 29th, 2018 at 4:54 PM ^
Our wonderful MGOBLOG update often won’t work unless I press the “B” for bold.
Unbolding does not help when this happens - which is most of the time.

This forum's software perfectly mirrors the football team.

Harbaugh had the quickest post-game handshake in history! His best strategy of the day! Get off the fucking camera quick!

boy, that was an epic beat down...
i was expecting Michigan to be doing that to other teams when Harbaugh got hired... certainly not having a first year coach do that to Michigan in Harbaugh's fourth year...
Not sure where the program goes from here, but some major changes need to happen imo...
Brian said "we are Iowa" earlier this year... might not be far from the truth
December 29th, 2018 at 3:49 PM ^
Iowa overperforms with Their recruits and beats OSU. We’re underachievers and can’t beat OSU.
December 29th, 2018 at 11:16 PM ^
So once every 25 years we play OSU at night and drop 50+ points on them? . . . I'Il take it.

Peach Bowl Snowflakes: *The Coaching Sucks
FIFY.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:40 PM ^
Guys I’m beginning to think Jim Harbaugh might not be the answer
December 29th, 2018 at 3:47 PM ^
You're BEGINNING to think that?! This program has regressed over his entire tenure has while many other coaches have turned around programs in half the time (or less). The longer he is employed, the longer we will be set back.
December 29th, 2018 at 4:32 PM ^
I guess you missed my obvious sarcasm. I’ve known for a long time this is who we are lol.
December 29th, 2018 at 5:18 PM ^
Wow!
"This program has regressed over his entire tenure"
Really? You do remember 12 - 13 the two years before Harbaugh or are you old and senile?
December 29th, 2018 at 5:48 PM ^
Reading comprehension fail.
I am commenting on Harbaugh's coaching tenure aka the last 4 years. The years before have nothing to do with what I am talking about. The fact is he has underachieved and failed by even conservative standards for him. This program is not in better shape now then it was 4 years ago.
December 29th, 2018 at 7:05 PM ^
Yep, we were in far better shape with Hoke's 5-7 2014 team. At least we didn't have to put up with 10-win seasons.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:41 PM ^
People that were thinking they would play different this game are the same ones that thought they were saving all the "good plays" for OSU all season.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:41 PM ^
Our HIGHLY PAID coaching staff is failing these kids and this fan base. SERIOUSLY, Warde we need a change, get some balls and do something!!!
Otherwise we will be Life Champions without the bagmen!!!
December 29th, 2018 at 3:41 PM ^
Our end-of-half clock management is god awful
December 29th, 2018 at 3:45 PM ^
Sadly clock management is like number 13 on our list of coaching issues.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:41 PM ^
Keep: Harbaugh, Warinner, Brown, Mattison.
Fire the rest, especially Pep. Please end this moronic affair with Harbaugh slurping up Pep's nonsense and get an offensive staff that knows how to deploy our copious weapons.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:41 PM ^
Sehr schlecht
December 29th, 2018 at 4:01 PM ^
Partridge Moore and Washington have been great recruiters so don’t want to fire them. Just saying maybe one of the people on your list should be fired...
December 29th, 2018 at 4:17 PM ^
Genau?
December 29th, 2018 at 7:05 PM ^
Do you even try? Brown sucks and Chris Partridge is our best recruiter and a huge name in the "up and coming coaches" ranks. He almost left for Alabama!
December 29th, 2018 at 3:42 PM ^
It'll be nice when UM has creative, innovative coaches. Unfortunately II don't think that will happen during Harbaugh's tenure.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:49 PM ^
It's been discussed previously, but Harbaugh is not the same coach or person right now, as when he came in here. He's lost the fire and intensity on the sideline and seems unable to get the offense to where it needs to go. It seems too hard to believe, but it's like he's now OK with losing 3 games per year if we win the other 10. The old Harbaugh would never have let his talented team get blown out two games in a row. I just don't get it.
December 29th, 2018 at 7:07 PM ^
He's old and just had a baby. Dude is clearly not leaned in to his job.
December 29th, 2018 at 10:06 PM ^
Something died in him in Columbus in 2016.
He's lost his fastball.
December 29th, 2018 at 10:42 PM ^
That blown call changed the course of recent Michigan football. We were on the short end of an inch play and it’s made all the difference since.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:42 PM ^
I’m over it. See ya next year. Hopefully I won’t see a few of these coaches
December 29th, 2018 at 3:43 PM ^
The schemes on both sides of the ball are designed to beat up on the dregs of the big ten. Other teams that aren't really trying to score either or have an ineffective QB. Its hard to win a game 23-17 when the other team scores 40.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:48 PM ^
This!!! Outdated antiquated Offense that cannot beat teams that are its equal or better.
Defense is a gimmicky scheme that is the equivalent of RR Spread offense. It works agains teams with less athletic talent, but if your CB's are in single press coverage all game and then have to play stud athletes all game long, it is gonna break down.

Sackcloth and ashes...
December 29th, 2018 at 3:44 PM ^
Because of the plays this team runs they are not coached up enough to know that when you stop your opponent on 3rd and short they might not run the same play when going for it on 4th down.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:44 PM ^
Coaching staff is broken. Replace the whole thing. We just out-talented most of our schedule but were grossly outclassed against teams that could match up against us.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:44 PM ^
Its not working.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:54 PM ^
this was funny to me
December 29th, 2018 at 3:44 PM ^
Here's a thought: What felt more hopeless to you, getting positively dismantled 45-17 to Tennessee in the 2002 Citrus Bowl, or this?
At least I felt like Lloyd had a system in place for everything not to completely crumble into oblivion. This? Not so much.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:44 PM ^
It’s on Harbaugh! period!
Not being able to run a hurry up was a joke. We still had a chance and we were hiking the ball with 10 seconds left on the play clock while running a hurry up. Inexcusable!
December 29th, 2018 at 4:05 PM ^
I found it astounding how bad the clock management was by Michigan. It did not lose them the game, but it was emblematic of how dysfunctional the offense appeared today. How a HC with NFL experience wastes so much time when playing from behind is surprising..
December 29th, 2018 at 5:29 PM ^
THAT was the most surprising to me. How can you not have a two minute offense?
December 29th, 2018 at 3:45 PM ^
Have to give the coaching a big F in this one, even considering the personnel losses. The offense, once again had little rhythm and bad playcalling at the worst times. The clock management was also very bad - at the end of the first half, and blowing most of the game clock in the 4th quarter when down by 17 points. When the players keep making bad plays in game after game, that's on the coaches - not the players. The offensive line looked poorly led and inspired. I'm very discouraged about this program as of right now. I'm glad there's going to be 8 months before they have to play again. It's going to take me at least that long to feel positive about the program.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:45 PM ^
Michigan's offense is somehow the only 80's reboot to fail
December 29th, 2018 at 3:45 PM ^
Harbaugh needs to go to the John Beilein school for how to evolve as a coach.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:45 PM ^
The way I see it there are two options to move the program forward:
1) Harbaugh cleans house, hires an OC who runs a modern, COLLEGE offense, and gives up a lot of power on the offensive side of the ball. Even Don Brown may not be safe from this culling.
2)Remove Harbaugh and interview some of the following candidates: Matt Campbell, Dino Babers, Neal Brown, Seth Littrell. Edit: Add Lance Leipold
December 29th, 2018 at 3:47 PM ^
Clearly the college game has passed Harbaugh since his time at Stanford. I suspect the NFL game has as well since more and more things that were college-only have become normal in the NFL.
Right now it is the worst of situations, good enough to not merit dismissal but bad enough to know that Jim Harbaugh coaching is slightly better than Kirk Ferentz but at twice the price.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:59 PM ^
In reality, what we’ve done is come full circle back to the latter half of the Lloyd Carr years. We produce a solid number of wins every year but never actually “win” anything of importance.
