Jim McElwain is the next CMU head coach

You just … ah, never mind.

It makes plenty of sense. To just look at the final score and say "We scored 39 points, there is no problem" is too simplistic. We couldn't score TDs when it mattered.

The offense needs to evolve to keep up with today's college game. Or at least our play calling does. Neither will happen unless we bring in a real OC from outside the program.

Because anytime we lose it's Pep's fault and he needs to be fired. Anytime we almost lose, it's Pep's fault and he needs to be fired. I thought this was understood.

Because we don't just base it off of one game or one year even. We have eyeballs and use them to see and understand what is happening in front of us. 62 points minus blocked punt minus 2 int. That's 21 points on the offense.

Because a narrative existed before the season that the offense was bad and our biggest weakness, so when things went sideways but it wasn't all on the offense people got cognitive dissonance 

It was 41 - 19 late in the game.  We added 20 points when Ohio State was in dancing-around-in-victory mode.  Also, 6 more points were scored from within the 10 yard line after an OSU turnover.

While the game was competitive, our offense only scored 13 points on its own.  That's why we are mad about “dinosaur” ball.  

62 points is an extreme case, but the point is that no defense is going to hold teams like Ohio State and Oklahoma to a couple of scores.  You can't go in expecting that.  Your offense has to keep pace. 

You can fix any defense problem you want, but you are still not going to beat Ohio State by "controlling the ball" while only putting up 3 field goals in the first half.

I think, at least hope, that those clamoring about are looking at this in totality.  Michigan did not really face a tough schedule this year in terms of Defenses faced at least.  Only MSU and ND finished in the top 25 (14-22), against whom the offense struggled mightily.  Taking into consideration the struggle against Osu's 67th ranked D and NW 48th ranked D,  its obvious if you want to compete in todays college football you need to be able to put up points constantly against quality opponents, especially when they re putting points up vs you and Michigan has failed to do so.

However, I agree, 62 points is also completely unacceptable and we shouldn't ignore that either.  It is just I have much more confidence in Don Brown, Greg Mattison and Co. to adjust than I do the offense.  

I don't run around accusing Harbaugh of running dinosaur-ball, but the offense came on wayyyy too late. If the game is gonna be a shoot out then we need our offense to shoot more. Obviously defense (and punt team) were also awful. 

Yup. 

Bring in Matt Mitchell from GVSU. He can't win a big game either so maybe together with Harbaugh, two negatives will make a positive.
