Why does the football program underachieve so much?

But Harbaugh needs to adjust his offense to todays game. That doesn't mean he needs to go spread, but we're at the point where there are athletes on the field. Get them in space and quit running a bunch of outdated crap that's not working.

You are crazy if you think we will get a better coach than JH.
I agree that JH runs an outdated scheme that he does not have the personnel for. The scheme is also just way too complex. Our guys are just not ATTACKING on offense. They are struggling with the complexity of the scheme and playing slow.
I am trying to figure out if Drevno or Harbaugh is calling the plays. The play calling this year has been terrible.

It's good to use Te 's and all but we do not need to have all three on the field at all times. Where was Wheatley today?

the #5 class in 2016 and #6 class in 2017 are not good recruiting classes? There is a bit of a drop off this year but Clemson won the NC with average recruiting classes ranked in the teens.

I mean where's the waterfall? Where's the gigantic nutrition center? Where's the barber shop or the arcade/lounge area? If they exist for our football program at Schembechhler Hall I certainly haven't seen the pictures online of them. Heck, mediocre programs like Texas A&M destroy us in that department

I'm tired of the antics. I'm over the cuteness of jumping in pools, weekly podcasts during the season, spring break trips, etc. Get this figured out.

And they've had it for 30+ years. They believe in it, recruit to it, coach to it, and everyone buys in--you don't hear people in Wisconsin saying they need to catch up to the modern world. They're proud of what they do and how they do it.
We used to have an identity. Then we went from Quarterback U. to SlotNinja U. to Pretending-to-be-Manball-But-We're-Really-Mad-Bombers U. to We're-Not-Kidding-About-the-Manball U. in one decade.

Very true. Most recent examples are the two Ole Miss players that we really needed but didn't qualify.

I will keep saying that the team is going to go nowhere if they can not sit back there and blow the other teams off the ball. they cant run the ball and they can barely pass protect at a level that makes a qb feel like he can stand back there and take his time and make throws and reads that need to be made to make good decisions. the offense needs to spread teams out more and that will create more running lanes and make things easier to bock when you have 6 guys to block 6 defenders. it just seems like all the teams that win lots of games do this with their offense and do it succesfully. they are then able to get the ball to their athletes in space and allow them to make plays on the move, where michigan throws the ball to recievers in good coverage or when they are standing still and that doesnt allow them to make plays when the ball is in their hands.

Agreed. The offense line was horrable. I think we had 3-4 sacks in the first half.
January 1st, 2018 at 5:11 PM ^
drevno needs to go too. on oline coach clling plays when the offensive line is terrible just makes no freakin' sense. he can barely get the couple of guys hes in charge of to do the right thing let alone have run over the whole offense. it just needs to be a huge change

We as fans get inundated with all the recruiting, preseason, coahing and everyday media hype so they can sell subscriptions and get tv and radio ratings. We get hype weather we deserve it or not, because the media makes money from eyeballs and Michigan has more than just about any program.
We as fans buy into the hype and why wouldn't we? Who doesn't want to hear how good thier team is going to be.
The truth is the other schools hire good coahes and have just as many scholarships as we do. The only thing many of them don't have is the massive fan base Michigan has, so they don't get the media hype.
So are we underachiving? Look who is setting the standard. The media and they just want to make money off the Michigan fan base. An argument could be made that this team overachived.
