MSU Snowflakes: The Coaching
October 7th, 2017 at 11:34 PM ^
I mean, remove the "Harbaugh" name and look at the resume. 1-2 against MSU. 0-2 against OSU. 1-1 in bowl games. Hasn't finished better than 3rd in B1G East. No B1G Championship Game appearances.
Not a steaming pile of shit, but certainly doesn't look like an elite coach.
Meyer won a title in year 2 at Florida and year 3 at OSU. Saban won in year 3 at Alabama.
I'm not saying a national championship is a requirement in year 3, but this team doesn't even look close.

Maybe you're an easier grader than me. Hoke left plenty of talent, although most of it on the defensive side of the ball. But again this is year 3. I expect an elite coach to get more out of his guys, regardless of who recruited them.
Listen I'm not calling for Harbaugh's job. I'm just saying I'm starting to recalibrate my expectations for this season and beyond. I realize this was always a "rebuilding year" and 2018 is supposed to the "the year".
Next year the defense will probably be really good/great again. But I can't help but think the offense is going to the a boat anchor yet again.

4 for 16 on 3rd downs is not moving the ball decently. Again, you're trying too hard. Trying to rewrite history apparently.

the talent that Zook left Urban at Florida

It's not year or year 2, dude. It's his 3rd season as coach. I get what you're saying. I have told others I'm giving Harbaugh 4 years, so for me, next season is the year. He needs to at least win a Big Ten title by next season.
I've said I can't call him overrated until after year 4, but this game broke me. I thought with a young team there might be a stumble or two early in the season. But MSU cannot be one of those stumbles. It's fair to call him overrated.

And because there aren't reall better options out there right now. Who do you go get, honestly? The NCAA is owned by Bama. The Big Ten is owned by Meyer/Dantonio/Franklin/Wisconsin. There's honestly nothing better. We just have to wait for those eras to end I guess.

I feel your frustation...but he is still far from the hotseat.
October 8th, 2017 at 1:22 AM ^
Disagree. There are quite a few people who think his halo is gone. We need results and we're not getting them.

Ok, I will bite... Who will better represent Michigan Football? Especeially after (arguably) Michigans number 1 son is pushed out...

If Michigan has a rebuilding year this year and a young team next year, and doesn't beat Ohio State or ever win the B1G after 4 years, at what point will Harbaugh be on the hotseat. What will it take for the fans to turn on him?
Many people on this board were outraged.

If Peters isn't playing next week, I will check out mentally on this team for the year as far as the coaching goes. Harbaugh is a good coach but he was never St. Harbaugh to me like some others on here. He has to be accountable just like anyone else. Going 1-5 to our two biggest rivals is unacceptable.

Nothing was working. Michigan needed to move the ball a LONG ways with the starting field position they were getting. They weren't going to get it just running the ball, when MSU is loading up agains the run. They were forced to pass to some extent.
However, the playcalling left MUCH to be desired. No question.
October 8th, 2017 at 12:47 AM ^
Our best bet was to stick to the ground and/or screens and if it didn't work, punt to flip the field. Passing downfield wasn't going to happen.

Bad. We are bad on offense.

What he Said!!!

Run the fucking ball in a monsoon. Wasted 4 fucking drives trying to pass in that shit after moving the ball well running.
October 7th, 2017 at 11:25 PM ^
There is something seriously fucked up with this offense. We have two of everything on the staff, but this offensive line and playcalling is complete horseshit. This one tore it for me.
Two OC-types (Pep and Drevno). Two OL coaches (Frey and Drevno). And Harbaugh with the QB's as well. My thought is that we've got far too many cooks in the kitchen, and we just burnt the whole goddamn meal.
All of a sudden we're looking at 8-4 or 7-5. Even the Maryland game is in play now. I don't have any confidence that we can move the ball against any decent defense.
