Next coach better get rid of legends jerseys

Agreed this is a joke

Seriously.  Stop disgracing people who were actually good at football and had some heart.

Would at least be a nice way to politely remove them. Just honor the former players with their names on the luxury boxes or something.

Everything that was made up by Brandon should be gone! 

 

FIRE BRANDON NOW!!!

AGREED. Also, what's the point in specifically making certain players "more important" than the rest of the team. Doesn't that contradict "the team, the team, the team" saying 

As you say this, another drop by Funchess. Don't care if he was interfered with, still should have been a catch. 

#1 my ass. 

watch guys not make plays while wearing a jersey of a guy who only made plays.  I get that it happens every year, at almost every college.  But then don't make a big deal out of giving a guy a number.  Just give out a #5 each year, or a #2 each year...or never give out a #1 or a #2 or whatever.  

Maybe they can do like they did with the infamous halo. Fire the AD, remove it, and then pretend it never happened.

Wait, so #1 Braylon would make a catch that hit his hands against MSU? Oh wait, he did multiple times. Our #1 has the dropsies way too often

Legends jerseys idea seemed good in theory but has been godawful in practice. Get rid of them.

This star system was the start  of the downfall of UM football.  Bo or any other decent coach would not have gone for it.  Terrible idea by Brandon.

This.

The memories of Ford, Oosterbann, Harmon, and all the greats are being pissed on right now. Not just by the players wearing their jerseys, but by the whole team. Whoever comes in here next better rip the legends jerseys away from every player who dares to think they're worthy of wearing them. No one on this team is even remotely worthy.

to rooting for a TD.   That's how pathetic we've become.  We need to fire Hoke and begin the healing process.  We've gotten progressively worse.  Our rivals mock us and laugh at us.

Add this to the list of Jokes about Brandon/Hoke.

I think no one should get wings on their helmets until their next coach sees the effort and passion worthy of a Michigan football player.

Should only happen at the end of the season, like before the OSU game.  And it should just be for "the game"... that way we can truly evaluate a "great player" prior to that game to see if he is worthy.

No way in hell that Funchess should be wearing "1" right now.  And as I type this, Devin Gardner commits another turnover.

There is much to blame Hoke about, but I believe this one is much more on Brandon than him. Hopefully, our next  AD will get rid of this.

Seriously.  We're not.  Our offense is led by a receiver. Our top receiver can't catch.  Our line is average at best.  Indiana and Perdue put up better fights against MSU. 

Maryland got boat raced by Wisconsin today but I think they'll win at Michigan vs. this offense. 

At this point, they should make everyone go out there with blank jerseys because they are all a deisgrace to anyone who has ever worn any number in th ehistory of UM football..

I have no problem with the legends jerseys (except that the patch is too big).  Just don't have guys switch jerseys so much in mid-career.

The big benefit of the legends jerseys is that we can honor players who played beyond the 1950s.  We stopped retiring numbers because we couldn't take any more out of circulation.  The legends jerseys solve this problem.

Gardner's having a crappy game, but that doesn't mean the jersey is the problem.  He's still a great overall representative of the school/program (graduated in three years, getting his master's in social work).  Having a bad game does not disgrace the jersey.  Being a bad person does.

 

I don't know...I think it is a great way to honor great players of years past. Much better than retiring a number, in my opinion. On the other hand, for those who believe it only works if the player today is equally as good as the original "legend," I get why they wouldn't like the concept.

U know what... I am tired of hearing this "who does or doesn't" deserve a number. Who gives a crap! It's a number. A number from a hundred years ago. Seriously?? We have bigger problems. Let's get out of the past people. No disrespect, but Bo and others are dead and gone. They are not coming back. We need to move on. Leave all that other stuff behind. This is the problem with the program. We want to go back to the way things used to be. Not gonna happen. A lot of players wear Jordan's and I have yet to see a player play like him. So no one should wear Jordan's? It's a number.. That's it.

Giving them Legends jerseys before they earn them has bred a sense of entitlement. These players haven't done ANYTHING to be worhy of wearing a Legends jersey. Let them wear their OWN jersey and earn their own legacy.

We lead the country in preseason awards handed out by our own staff. We could use Bo in the worst way right now to come in and do a 1969 clean up job.

I was on my way home from a soccer tournament and was thinking about this exact subject matter. I am fine with the players wearing the Legends jersey. But DAMN IT, earn the bleeping right to wear them. Gardner needs to give it back, as do the rest.

Legends jerseys have to go away as part of a psychic housecleaning if nothing else.

I don't care about a Jersey or Rawk music. I want to win games (within all NCAA rules). Period. The arrogance of anything else is the disease infecting Michigan.

Neg Away.
