Get it together. Pathetic considering our level of recruiting.

Can't be Alabama overnight. Ya we aren't too 10 team but we are better now than where we were with last 2 coaches. Hokes team were mediocre. Why wouldn't harbaughs with the same players. We all can admit these players are better with harbaugh than with hoke. So we need to be realistic as the youngest team in football we aren't gonna be the best team. We will only get better

Huh??? We had Iowa, OSU, and FSU last year. This year, we had MSU, PSU, Wisconsin, and OSU next week. That's seven chances. And - like you say - we probably play three more winning teams - plus more - next year, and I gotta be honest, I'm not optimistic.

Of the Carr to rich rod to hoke years. Last years team was a top 4 team they choked at Iowa. You can’t be a well oiled machine year in and year out right away even with harbaugh. I don’t want to hear about recruiting it’s ridiculous they have plenty of talent they are really young. Everyone talks about losing all the defense last year they lost all of their wide receivers and within the 1st quarter of the season they lost their best qb and #1 wide receiver. Losing speight was a big deal. Remember when everyone wanted okorn? Give it Time.

This team is 9-6 and will be 9-7 after next week. Who knows what will happen in the bowl game, and then with opening next season on the road at ND could be looking at 9-9.

UM will be just fine. Lost a ton of talent last year to the nfl, and the lack of depth of previous drafts has been exposed. While Hoke was pulling in top draft classes, they were top classes based on arbitrary rankings of organizations like 247 and espn. I remember a few of the higher recruits who were not pursued as strongly by competitors and gave UM a false sense of having "highly ranked" recruiting classes. Morris, Green, Peppers, (I know, Peppers was a good player, but he was highly overrated - perhaps in great part by the way he was used, the fact that he had several coaches, and played several positions - never was able to get excellent in one of them), Kalis, etc...

The previous recruiting has given a false sense of the talent available to JH and I think we will see improvement to the point that UM will be back to a very good program by 2019.
