No Matter What

Submitted by Shop Smart Sho… on

If nothing else, this game has given us closure on one thing.  Robinson won't be back.  So, there is a bright spot for us.

 

Yeah, obviously meant GERG.

Under RR we rely on one player this is NOT debatable. This is sad. We are all about the team and this team is lacking. I look forward to hearing from DB about the change that NEEDS to take place.

Whenever DRob is interviewed, quoted, overheard, etc. it's all about the team. When he breaks a great run? "Thanks OL" When he makes a great pass? "Thanks WRs".

He has so much individual talent and team spirit that he's probably one of the best athletes to come to Michigan that I have seen in a long, long time.

i will a very happy man once GERG is let go. I dont know what will happen to RR. defense is the worst staff ive seen EVER! I am just worried about attrition if DB makes a change. I say if we can't land JH then Rich should stay.

all you folks who have negged those righteous who have been consistent in saying all these years that rodriguez has to go.... well, first off, go F yourself, and second, you should apologize, and third, you should turn in all your mgopoints, because they have the blood of the program on them. 

the telltale sign of those who are truly for the program, tend to have negative points on this blog, save a few sparty trolls sprinkled in. then you have those like magnus, who have a gazillion points, all gotten from appeasing the lowest rung of the michigan world.

the program has been a joke the past three years...there is no longer denying it by you. say all you want how you "support them no matter what". thats not the point. you negged to oblivion, those who said RR must go. and he must. and you were quite wrong.

Oh, so you are now vindicated. Congrats, it must feel amazing to be right. I would way rather have been right than have the program succeed. The point was, up unitil this year, and possibly this game, your little coalition didn't have rational evidence to say RR should go. It was an idea that was started right when he was hired. It was blind. Some didn't like him to from the get go, they wanted him fired. Of course, he never did anything to relieve that feeling. Was the gut feeling correct? Yes, however it should be more attributed to luck than actual knowledge that it was the correct opinion.

it'll be interesting to see how RR does when he goes to another program where he doesn't inherit a decimated defense, a broken compliance department, and the hardest-to-please fan base in America. My guess is quite well. Nobody forced him to hire Greg Robinson though. For that he deserves his fair share of blame.

In 2006 with last two games and has continued through the Horror of 2007 and the debacle of 2008 and the start all over on offense and defense of 2009 and the still not there 2010. 

A wait and see attitude until the regular season was over was reasonable given the nature of the coaching change, and now we'll see what was going in with DB and others in terms of 2011.

Hope whoever our coaching staff is for 2011 will be able to stem the bleeding and start the progression back.  It is obvious we do not have the talent on the field to compete for Big 10 championships, as it has shown in our record this year against top 25 teams.

One of the higher hits for "Mgo-blog" search is an interview Brian did with "Rick" at "Waiting for Next Year" on 2-4-08, during the RR installation. "Rick," an apparent OSU fan, and Brian had the following exchange during that interview:
[Rick:] Much of Michigan’s recent problems have been because of the defense in my opinion, how is that being addressed and will they be improved this year? [Brian:] Uh… how recent? Despite a couple of rough games in ’05, that was still a lights-out unit statistically. This year it was considerably uglier. [Rick:] Well, looking at games against Ohio State and bowl opponents since 2003, Michigan is giving up 31.8 points per contest, including the 14 points that Ohio State got on a sloppy field this year. [Brian:] Michigan should improve, IMO: the only real losses are Shawn Crable and Jamar Adams. The entire D-line is back as is MLB Obi Ezeh and the top three corners. That’s about 7.5 starters if you grant that the third corner is as much of a starter as the third linebacker in modern football. It’s a weird unit with great experience and depth at DL and corner and zero at linebacker and safety; we’ll see. I couldn’t tell you much about how it will play out with an entirely new coaching staff.
Am I reading too much into this, or does "Rick" earn the 20-20 hindsight-in-advance crystal-ball award for zeroing in on all this before it became obvious (before "decimated defense," etc.)?
