I don’t want to hear a fucking word. Deeds and not words from this day forward.
January 1st, 2018 at 4:36 PM ^
Harbaugh was relatively reserved at the presser
January 1st, 2018 at 4:13 PM ^
what he has to say today.
January 1st, 2018 at 4:46 PM ^
Blah, blah , blah Jim. Your best win of the year was over Purdue. Purdue. Think about that Jim. I dont care where you go in the off season or spring break with the team. Its time to win some games that truly matter. Not seeing any improvement on the field. Solid defense that cracks against every good team they play. Offense is totally lost. Do you still care Jim Harbaugh?
January 1st, 2018 at 4:14 PM ^
hell tell us where Jay is going on spring break.
January 1st, 2018 at 4:28 PM ^
hehehe...cuz putting your kid in as a TE/Special Teams/RB coach fits your blowhard meritocracy approach. Hypocrite.
January 1st, 2018 at 4:54 PM ^
That simply screams patronage.
January 1st, 2018 at 6:09 PM ^
No. It screams "parentage."
January 1st, 2018 at 4:14 PM ^
And look forward to next year
January 1st, 2018 at 5:06 PM ^
.....and look forward to next year. But the offense is just broken. Very complex, yet does not fool anyone.
January 1st, 2018 at 6:10 PM ^
Yeah, that TE playing fullback, on a team with four real fullbacks, really had them guessing. At least until the ball landed in their laps.
January 1st, 2018 at 6:36 PM ^
Watching Rose Bowl and these offenses are what Michigan wants to be but can't - power running, getting guys in space, multiple skill players making plays. F*#k!!!!
January 1st, 2018 at 4:15 PM ^
last 16 games, time to make some changes to the staff
January 1st, 2018 at 5:00 PM ^
Caldwell available.
January 1st, 2018 at 5:22 PM ^
I'd take Cooter in a heartbeat, but not interested in Caldwell.
January 1st, 2018 at 7:13 PM ^
Why? JBC's stubborn first half approach to offense doesn't seem to be any different than any other OC running his system regardless of talent on the field or results.
January 1st, 2018 at 4:15 PM ^
I guess if I had a question, it would be:
"Could we change one thing about the offense? Like, everything about it?"
January 1st, 2018 at 4:21 PM ^
Just gonna ignore that stupidity at the top? Or might you do something to prevent a cesspool this time around?
January 1st, 2018 at 7:06 PM ^
Boo hoo. Did your feelings get hurt or what?
January 1st, 2018 at 5:19 PM ^
what is your opinion of coaching changes that need made?
Thanks in advance
January 1st, 2018 at 4:15 PM ^
Warmed up oatmeal
January 1st, 2018 at 4:16 PM ^
Isn’t Hoke still available?
January 1st, 2018 at 4:18 PM ^
7 and 5. At Notre Dame, At Michigan State, At Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin. They're not winning ANY of those games. So that's 7 and 5 at best. It's time to stop apologizing for Harbaugh. He's underachieved big time, and I don't know that Michigan football will ever be in the national championship discussion again.
As a Bears fan, I hope he takes the Bears job.
January 1st, 2018 at 4:24 PM ^
*psst* Penn St only has Trace McArmpunt back next year
January 1st, 2018 at 4:28 PM ^
Trace McArmpunt is better than any QB on our fucking roster.
Miles Sanders another 5 star RB replaces Saquon Barkley.
PSU is almost in reloading mode with the class they're bringing in and unlike us, they have skill position players worth a damn.
January 1st, 2018 at 4:31 PM ^
I wouldn't write off our skill guys for next year. DPJ took a step forward today and Black will be a great complement. We've just got to get the QB position fixed.
January 1st, 2018 at 4:37 PM ^
One step forward and one ball off the face mask
January 1st, 2018 at 5:24 PM ^
I think a half step forward would have been much better.
January 1st, 2018 at 4:53 PM ^
...because after today, I found myself wondering about the collective talent level at the skill position. During the game, I wondered aloud, "I don't think DPJ is ever going to be an elite receiver". My fellow UM friends didn't disagree. Perry didn't produce this year. Crawford has been a non factor now for 2 years. That means that all of our hope is essentially in the Tarik Black basket.
I realize that WR results don't happen in a vacuum; QB issues are noted. I'm hoping this is all going to work out, but I just don't think we've not been given alot of data points that would suggest a positive trend is forthcoming, or even that high hopes are warranted.
Go Blue.
January 1st, 2018 at 5:26 PM ^
What happened to Khalid Hill, Grant Perry, and half the offensive line?
January 1st, 2018 at 4:34 PM ^
Mcsorely looked awesome vs Washington. Is the guy above you drunk?
January 1st, 2018 at 4:30 PM ^
Trace Armpunt? Glass houses. Your comment is what makes our fan base insufferable. I’d rather have Franklin’s outlook than Harbaugh’s.
January 1st, 2018 at 6:38 PM ^
Sadly, I agree.
January 1st, 2018 at 6:38 PM ^
Sadly, I agree.
January 1st, 2018 at 4:31 PM ^
Lucky to beat Rutgers next year
January 1st, 2018 at 4:42 PM ^
..Franklin and staff are recruiting and developing players at a high level. I think they'll be just fine even without Barkley and Moorhead the OC.
January 1st, 2018 at 5:57 PM ^
"McArmpunt" completed 65% of his passes this year.
Maybe we should throw more armpunts since peters was 20/44 today.
January 1st, 2018 at 4:27 PM ^
good luck
January 1st, 2018 at 5:54 PM ^
I wish I knew you so I could bet you 1000 dollars that Michigan wins at least 9 regular games next year. That'd be easy money.
January 1st, 2018 at 6:04 PM ^
Meanwhile Boomer Sooner looks like 1984 Arnold in Terminator destroying police station.
Anyway, something is clearly wrong and its way beyond the QB position. Even when Korn, Peters, or Speight deliver the ball to WR/TE, I mean even on the numbers (rare), the ball gets volleyballed into atmosphere off receivers hands. Why? The playing is laughable at this point, and predictable. There are no surprises, no threats from the offense. The defense either gets burned out, just quits or their code gets cracked such that by the 3rd quarter they take a dirt nap.
Just look at our 2018 recruiting class.
Now reanalyze 2018 schedule and even 7-5 seems questionable.
With Harbaugh we were appropriately, dreaming of NT, Big Ten Titles, Rose Bowls, Heismans...but at end of year 3 we are barely competitive. Barely.
January 1st, 2018 at 4:19 PM ^
Harbaugh has flat out ruined the offense- he may not have but it’s his staff so it’s on him. Our play calling sucks- run into a wall or require a shitty QB to make an NFL level toss ten yards down field. We don’t have any identity. They just flat out suck
January 1st, 2018 at 4:20 PM ^
Lost confidence in Harbaugh & rest of offensive coaches today.
Key play: using the tight end as a fullback on a dive play.
Deep in your own territory.
Result - fumble.
Whoever designed that play should never design another.
Also, sick of Drevno saying O line was improving.
Peters pressured entire game.
Lastly, Metellus should have to run the stadium steps from 5am to 6am for the next 60 days.
January 1st, 2018 at 4:23 PM ^
Tbh Peters held the ball too long all game. This isn't on the OL as much as him. Get the f'n ball OUT.
January 1st, 2018 at 4:28 PM ^
when he did get the ball out he usually was off target. Plus, his decision making and judgement are highly questionable. Either he's getting really bad coaching or he just may not have what it takes to play QB at Michigan.
January 1st, 2018 at 4:34 PM ^
The receivers arent what they were last year either. Losing Darboh and Chesson hurt bad, but the QB holding the ball too long has been a major issue all year, going back to basically when Speight got hurt over a year ago.
January 1st, 2018 at 5:17 PM ^
This team has a lot of young receivers and they will get better. Chesson and Darboh did nothing as Freshmen or Sophmores. They improved their Junior seasons and were not really good until they were seniors. This is typical for most receivers transitioning from HS to College. Even Calvin Johnson was not good during his first year in the Pro's. It's just how it goes unless you have a once in a decade type talent.
Patterson will help at QB and the line should be better on the interior. Question mark is Tackle.
January 1st, 2018 at 5:15 PM ^
Does anyone else notice how Peters does not move his feet? He backs up and statues. He seriosuly plants in.
January 1st, 2018 at 6:01 PM ^
Everything he does is slow. His footwork, his reads, his delivery. All of Michigan quarterbacks all play and look the exact same.
January 1st, 2018 at 6:47 PM ^
"he just may not have what it takes to play QB at Michigan."
How many times in the last few/many years have we heard this?
Even with Harbaugh coached QBs.
Even now with Harbaugh recruited QBs.
January 1st, 2018 at 4:21 PM ^
I'd like to hear what he has to say, and I feel terrible for some of the players. Mo Hurst, Winovich, Devin Bush, Gary, etc. They deserve better. They played with a lot of heart. I feel let down for them. I, as a fan, don't deserve anything but to be a fan of those guys.
Looking forward to seeing resolve from these guys, and seeing who has heart. This season was a kick in the nuts.
