Why hasn't U of M reached out to Jake Long
Just read an article in the freep (sorry) --- but the interviewer asked if UofM has reached out to him to come back for a game and he said "no"..... It seems to me that an all-amercan, all-pro, no.1 overall pick, very pro-michigan guy would be a great guy to talk to or have the o-line talk to- given the o-line troubles... he is a Lapeer born michigan man... Is there some history I dont know about? ...go blue
Jake can walk into Schembechler Hall anytime he wants and I guarantee the staff will welcome him with open arms.
just honorary captain..... not a coaching job...

if you read the simple question i inquired as to why uofm had not reached out to him to come back for a game and if there was a beef ---NOT-- to be a coach... this board is -at times- really not fun....

Are you really that shocked that he wasn't one of seven guys last year? Is there anything else your outrage would be better directed at instead?

If you were to think about it, you might realize why. Jake Long would make a good honorary captain. No argument there. So would a lot of other former players that haven't been yet.
If you're looking for a potential beef, the clue would be if he was asked, but declined. Not that he was one of many players that haven't been asked yet. Going straight to some sort of history being the reason is very trollish.
You say you're not suggesting hiring him as a coach. Fine. Having him to talk once to the players would be fine too. Suggestng that as a way to address the OL struggles is so unrealistic that people assumed you were looking for Long to coach. If he has technical suggestions to make, better to address them with the coaches. The players don't need conflicting advice.
oh and btw my dog eats fish...lol

Treasure life with the newborn. Won't be Long before baby is all grown up.
The Long and short of it is he hasn't been reached out to, that's it!

I know that, but the OP is Longing to understand why!!!
April 28th, 2018 at 10:08 AM ^
Well, I'm sure it won't be Long before Jake is back on the sidelines at Michigan Stadium.

I'm sure some Longan berry syrup and waffles could make it sooner than later.

You're probably right, unless he gets the short end of the stick.

beats the one about The Bachelor a couple of months back. That one was excruciating and truly uncalled for in our online mancave here...

So you’re saying he has a mean streak? I thought that was a plus in an offensive lineman.
