I would say 2014 and 2015 were worse.

South Carolina game period. Need to start off strong next season as this team currently has a dark cloud hanging over it.
February 7th, 2018 at 10:53 AM ^
This was a bad class that was losing its top commits long before the South Carolina game. It was bad in August and got worse as the year went on. A win over the Gamecocks wasn't going to change much at all.
But I do agree they need to get some results on the field next year. There's a cloud over things now, and that's only going to grow and give opposing recruiters more ammo if they can't post a solid 10+ win season next year. I mean, if you can't beat your other Big Ten rivals to get a sniff at the Big Ten champ game, and can't figure out your offensive line in year four...what exactly are you selling to recruits?

in a NC game too helps.

Bagmen. Don't listen to the "they won the SEC and were in the chamipionship game!" crowd. UGA's recruiting changed dramatically after Smart replaced Richt, and no way was that all above-board.
February 7th, 2018 at 10:59 AM ^
those excuses are getting tiresome.
February 7th, 2018 at 11:01 AM ^
I'd say it's more like winning is hard to turn down. Simple as that.
February 7th, 2018 at 10:47 AM ^
Who do I talk to about getting the last 45 minutes of life back waiting for that announcement?

Wow, we didn't have a good day. I'm glad it is over. I will take some good news at some point in the future. The last 2-3 months was just a series of dong punches on the field and in recruiting.

I gotta agree with the other dude up there. I've been a Michigan fan a long time and it hasn't been fun in a while. Even the good seasons and moments are earmarked by doom. We undo all the Hoke and RR in 2015 and have number 7 MSU beat and lose a game in a way a game has never been lost before. Beat top 10 Wisconsin? Newsome has his career ruined. Finally have a playoff quality team? Blows the season in Iowa City and has a win vs OSU ripped away be refs born in Ohio. I could go on, but I won't, it's exhausting.

Same (except 25), except I have been following closely since I was 7 back in 1999. So, I remember the good times and it makes the bad times much worse.
February 7th, 2018 at 10:48 AM ^
"Iron sharpens Iron" and right now our team has the perception of being a big bowl of Jell-O. We need a strong showing this season against our rivals to turn this ship around

Might be able to save money next year by paying him $1 milion per win.

You're going to get negged to hell for this, but there's a lot of truth to this. If next year isn't a solid bounceback season, the grumblings are gonna get awful loud.
February 7th, 2018 at 11:00 AM ^
if we lose to our rivals, and take 3rd or 4th in the Big 10 east again its going to be more than grumbles.
February 7th, 2018 at 11:08 AM ^
The only two games I can see them losing without the fan base going into full meltdown mode are Notre Dame and Ohio State. And given the last year, I'm not even sure if ND is a loseable game. Gotta win that one to get some momentum on the recruiting trail and quiet a lot of the grumbling out there.
To me Ohio State is loseable because they are simply a much better team and program and its on the road, and that's just going to be tough to win. And if they take care of the rest of their buisness, they'd still be 10-2 or 11-1 after that one. The "can't beat Ohio State" chants would be awfully loud but everything else would be on track.

Georgia is about to go on a 'Bama type run. These kids know that and want championships. While we have Don Brown and a great D, we don't have a recent winning pedigree to sway these kids over Kirby and a championship. If we play well next season, the recruits will start coming.
February 7th, 2018 at 10:50 AM ^
I don't think I've seen UM and a coaching staffed get pushed around this much in a recruiting cycle. They got punked multiple times.
Make or break season for JH in 2018.
February 7th, 2018 at 10:54 AM ^
February 7th, 2018 at 10:59 AM ^
Also when you go 8-4, lose to your two biggest rivals yet again, blow a 16 point lead with the Nation watching, and keep underwhelming coaches on staff. 2018 can solve a lot of things, they have a lot to prove.
February 7th, 2018 at 11:12 AM ^
Michigan/Harbaugh are the easiest big name program to negative recruit against.
"All flash, zero substance" is unfortunately highly accurate to describe his tenure; when you make that many headlines for superficial things but haven't won a big game in three years, the good recruits won't come.
2018 is make or break.
February 7th, 2018 at 11:27 AM ^
Not only did other coaches pile on UM but UM did not have the guys/recruiters outside of Partridge who were good enough to combat the negativity. They got smoked.
February 7th, 2018 at 9:17 PM ^
February 7th, 2018 at 10:50 AM ^
Well, the only consolation that I can find is that this puts the #1 recruiting class out of reach for Ohio State, and solidifies it for UGA...
yay...
February 7th, 2018 at 10:51 AM ^
February 7th, 2018 at 11:13 AM ^
Coaches win big games with far less talent than Michigan currently has. Our offensive scheme and development is dreadful.
February 7th, 2018 at 10:52 AM ^
And the dong punches keep coming...
