what position group do we not have covered? I know RB, but consensus seems to be that is one of the easier positions to coach. at this point I don't see a new OC coming in with Pep and Drev being demoted. I think it's more likely we get a position coach.

Isn't it going to be Warriner?

Sounds like Pep will coach WR's and be passing game coordinator. Drevno will be run game coordinator. Jim is going to personally coach QB's and have a more active role in the gameplan like he did against OSU.

If Tony Annese were younger, I'd head in that direction. Definitely one of the better option minds in the game. Think he might be getting a little long in the tooth and don't know if Harbaugh wants to go there, but i'd like to see about a 15% option attack included in our offense. Others are pretty much sold on straight pro sytle, so I don't expect to get much agreement.  i do know it'd lessen the demands of our receivers who seemingly are wide open in this type of offense.

Michigan won 10 games the frist two seasons with Drevno.  I'm not sure anyone should be scared because we only won 8 games last year with injured QBs and a basically all freshman WR corps.  The other 2 wins were there with just a little better QB play - and one of them was OSU.  However, I'm not sure that Pep adds much.  Don't disagree that they need some shakeup, because it needs to improve signifcantly in 2018.  Having a top 20 defense and the #105 total offense isn't going to cut it.

Year one & two of Harbaugh Drevno & Fisch did ok. The offense still had it's struggles beyond simply coaching change transition & player development, but it was not horrific.

Year three, change Fisch for Pep and suddenly the passing game becomes completely incompetent.

I agree the receiving core turnover played a key role, however, it has been pointed out multiple times, there were guys open, the QB just couldn't find them or get it to them. I put that on the QB developement (or lack there of). For that, I blame Pep. I don't know what he had the QB's reading, or working on, but it didn't work for three different dudes.
