Drevno apologizes to OL
Per Brandon Justice, Drevno called his OL together and apolgized to them for his coaching last season. I don’t know whether to commend him or poop in a bag and mail it to him. Civlized me the former, but my id demands the latter.

Also says Harbaugh told a recruit he's a different person, but to me that's a secondary story.
Takes some guts to do this, and they are recognizing a need for change.

I made a comment a couple of days ago about Harbaugh's demeanor and got crap for it from some folks, there seems to be some confusion and uncertainty, I know I'm confused.
Results matter, so we shall see.

he was way more mellow this past year. wonder if the combination of the new baby, tv cameras and the new rules about coach's behavior on the sidelined mellowed him out. he needs to get that competitve fire back in his belly.

"soo......is anything gonna change? Why are you apologizing?"
As mentioned above, this feels like a "I wanna be a Michigan Man" moment

Prove it. I want to see the list.
;)

it's called a contract
January 18th, 2018 at 5:36 PM ^
Dollar number one
Dollar number two
Dollar number three
and so on to 1 million dollars

Harbaugh just needs to yell at the refs more. He's too subdued now.

Or it could be having a baby at 53 years old.
Either way, I learned a lesson. Don't try to get in the Pope's good football graces with Jordans made in a sweatshop. It doesn't end well!

True...
Although, it's significantly easier when you're a multi-millionaire (aka can hire any childcare support you'd ever want), your spouse doesn't work, your retired parents live in town and two of your adult children in their twenties live in town.
Jim and Sarah are most definitely not wanting for support on a personal/parental level.

I hope you see a child psychologist for pointers. THIS IS SCARRYY

Now he is going to tour the middle east and smoke pot to find his innerself. Just my luck as a Michigan fan.
January 18th, 2018 at 5:01 PM ^
Weird. This could be one of those events that marks some sort of slow-rolling downfall, or it could be a mere blip on the radar screen. It remains to be seen. If you know what I mean. Billy jean.

Now he needs to apologize to the fans for causing our eyes to bleed with that offensive gameplan in the bowl game

Not sure how to react...*looks at possible reactions*
*1. This is good. Trust the process. Trust the coaches. They recognize their shortcomings, and will do everything to fix this. They will fix this. I believe!*
*2. The sky is falling. Harbaugh is telling recruits that he's going to be a "different person"?! What the heck does that mean!? What the heck is going on!!!?!! And what is a coach doing apologizing?! This is football fergodsakes! This is Michigan fergodsakes! Don't apologize! Either correct your mistakes with actions, or get the heck out of here!!*
Hmmm....I think I'll go with number 1.
But number 2 is very enticing! Maybe I'll go to twitter with option number 2; twitter is the best form of media for hawt takes.

And they didn't just find a copy of "How to Coach Football" by Nick Saban on the clearance table at Barnes and Noble. They either know how to do this job at this level by now or they don't.
Drevno has nothing to teach these kids this year that he didn't have last year.

Maybe Jimmy spent too much time worrying things outside of the program, jousting on social media, etc.
Drev, specifically addressing the O'line almost seems like taking a shot at Frey, imo.
January 18th, 2018 at 5:30 PM ^
i think you hit the nail on the head. drevno may have thought frey could handle things with the line and that the line knew enough to build from previous years experience. he moved up to the press box and the line underperformed until he got back on the sideline. delegating is a good idea but realizing you need to be hands on again is probably a good sign. the line improved dramatically when drevno went back to the sideline again and moved back to more power blocking.
January 18th, 2018 at 5:33 PM ^
I think he actually seemed to do much less of that this year. He also seemed to less frequently blow up at officals. Before I read this post, I had long felt that he was a different person this year in that way. Am I wrong about that?
January 18th, 2018 at 6:05 PM ^
I assumed his demeanor changed because he had a young team. I have learned there are 2 ways to motivate players. #1 needs a kick in the ass coach and #2 needs a sane arm around explaining coach. If you get that reversed you get much less out of both.
I assume at some point JH saw the kick in the ass wasn't going to work with that group of kids.
January 18th, 2018 at 9:42 PM ^
HIs demeanor was off. He's an uber competetive guy, even with a young team I would be expecting him to show some fire on the sidelines. There was almost nothing. Not a single gifable moment. Two years prior we had multiple entries to choose from each week.
He needed to tone it down a bit, but it wasn't just that. His demeanor was off, and in some feelinsgball sort of way I think it rubbed off to the team too.
We need a fiery Harbaugh, no matter how young our team is.
January 18th, 2018 at 5:06 PM ^
January 18th, 2018 at 6:23 PM ^
He's been doing this a while now. What's going to happen between now and spring practice that will make him a much better coach?
January 18th, 2018 at 7:16 PM ^
a better understanding of his young personnel and figuring out what it takes to work with this group. Players are not robots that you can plug and play into any situation.
Additionally, the players could possibly play better with cohesion of teaching, techniques and terminology.
There are all sorts of ways Drevno could improve and recognizing his own faults and working toward improvement in areas of deficit is probably a good first step.
January 18th, 2018 at 5:06 PM ^
Dude has some legit good sources and is useful for info like this, but man his writing is terrible. Like borderline unreadable.
The 247 guys aren't much better. Do they seriously have no time to edit each other's copy? It is mildly infuriating.
This is Michigan. Higher standards! Rant over.
