BS and we know it...  Kids…

BS and we know it...  Kids want to play at OSU—pro pipeline, and a great life after football program....  We need to look within— A Michigan degree, though prestigious, isn’t enough.

Interesting you mention…

Interesting you mention Northwestern— academically on par, or even better than Michigan, yet they find a way to be competitive- pretty much year in, year out...  and they are doing it with much less talented kids.

The difference:  Culture.   And Pat Fitzgerald v. Jim Harbaugh

...nuff said!

How about changing the…

How about changing the culture of the Michigan program?
Need to quit blaming everyone else in college football.   Quit pointing fingers and look into the mirror.

Bullshi-t!

Bullshi-t!

we are still a formidable program...  we need to humble ourselves and realize Harbaugh is NOT the answer...  we need to recruit better, then show recruits we can develop them into pros.   9-3 is mediocre, and WE ARE NOT mediocre...  get Harbaugh out of here- and get a charismatic coach that can recruit coaches and kids...

Yah, but if Harbaugh…

Yah, but if Harbaugh continues to keep us in limbo, we aren’t going to get anyone.

Time to go JH.

Right there with you... …

Right there with you... “Elevated Risk”.  Absolute BS!

You lost me in your first…

You lost me in your first two paragraphs—

First of all, stop the Covid BS— at least in how it affects College Football programs...  all of them are dealing with it—and Michigan is no different.

Secondly, Michigan has been VERY patient with Harbaugh...  Six years is more than enough time for a coach to establish himself...  He has had plenty of time to move Hoke’s players through the roster.  He’s had plenty of time to recruit his players.  He’s had plenty of time to at least show upward progress.  But he hasn’t improved the program—in fact, we are seeing more losses, and once more, more UGLY losses...  The gap between OSU has gotten bigger—MSU beat us and OSU just pounded MSU by 40 with 1/3 of their starters out!   And don’t mention that Rutgers took us to three overtimes...

I am sure the rest of your post merited reading— but sorry, Harbaugh has to go!  And six years was more than enough time to prove himself.   Good bye JH.

Screw the “Covid Excuse”... …

Screw the “Covid Excuse”...  it has affected every program.

Covid is not an excuse!

Harbaugh needs to leave.   I…

Harbaugh needs to leave.   I deeply believe that Jim never bought into “we need a spread offense, Josh Gattis is our guy”...   Then you look at the decision to elevate Milton to the starting QB.   Just look at how that negatively impacted the team and clubhouse— McCaffery transfers, and the McCaffery believers started the “what’s going on here”?   This just permeated the clubhouse, then when Milton’s misgivings and bad play became evident, the McCaffery crew became disillusioned.   One could tell the only guy really playing hard seemed to be Ronnie Bell (I would assume he was in the Milton camp).

Bottom line:  Michigan is a dumpster fire...  so much of it is the culture and lack of team chemistry...   and face it, Harbaugh’s personality lacks the capability to overcome this... He can’t fix this... He has to go...   

Go get Matt Campbell.

My hope is that the Harbaugh…

My hope is that the Harbaugh contract is worked out before signing day...  Simply not fair to recruits—and can’t blame any of the verbal commitments if they don’t sign (yet)...  

Harbaugh needs to sh_t or get off the pot...  Just not fair to Michigan program.

”Reality”, must be another…

”Reality”, must be another universe for you.   OSU has closed the gap significantly on UM... Yes, that gap was substantial, but is this all you have?  Face it, OSU has blown by us in football and many other aspects...  We need to just get it done on the field, and let that do our talking.  Talking trash is literally stupid, especially when we are carrying OSU’s trash out to the curb every week.

Delusional...  Meyer isn’t…

Delusional...  Meyer isn’t leaving OSU for Michigan...  read that statement you made!
 

Absurd.

Well obviously this is a…

Well obviously this is a backhanded slap to both Don Brown and Gattis...   hopefully, they have refreshed resumes.   Needs to fire recruiting coordinator and Jay Harbaugh also.

Not sure this is the best alternative, but when there is no place to go but up?????

You need to take one in the…

You need to take one in the jaw...  get out of here!

But he’s done a good job...  recruiting well...  just can’t get over that hump.

Face it, we been relevant once in twenty years it seems...   who would you get to replace him.

 

Well said...   UM recruited…

Well said...   UM recruited very well under Hoke, and the roster was in good shape when Harbaugh took over (despite the 5-7 record).   Face it, despite the same academic standards/entrance requirements, Harbaugh hasn’t recruited at the same level as Hoke.  Add to that Ohio has developed their brand, and have taken recruiting through the roof in the Big 10...they sell developing kids for the league, plus life after football as parallel tracks.   Michigan’s brand— “Academics”...   Michigan hasn’t been a perennial football school since the last century—today’s recruits weren’t even born when we were last relevant...  It adds up to butt kickings every year.   And thing aren’t getting better.  The gap continues to expand under Harbaugh.   He is the definition of “insanity”. 

Me too.  Have we come to…

Me too.  Have we come to this?
 

Embarrassing...

Starting to look like a…

Starting to look like a stellar OL recruiting year!   Definitely lead for Dividokov, but need Spindler badly...   Would be nice to see some recruits for defense though...  Any insight with that side of the ball?

That’s like saying the…

That’s like saying the Tigers would go to the world series every year if they were playing Triple A baseball...  Really...?

The problem is OSU has…

The problem is OSU has signed 8-9 recruits to UM’s 1-2 out of the consensus top 125 in the country...  and this has occurred in 3-4 years— that is simply a talent disparity that we are nowhere near overcoming...  and this year- it appears OSU is on its way to landing 12-13 top 125 kids, with a substantial number (4-5) top 20, 7-8 top 50...   Harbaugh has McCarthy and most likely Edwards (top 30)— but really, we show absolutely no capability of closing the gap.   It seems like Harbaugh doesn’t possess the charisma to attract OSU’s (and Clemson) level of talent—and that’s on him. 

Anyone who knows Michigan…

Anyone who knows Michigan football and has been a part of its storied history knows that this trophy means NOTHING!   It’s an embarrassment...  Have we sunk that far!
 

Bo must be rolling over in his grave...

Florida or Bama?   Please…

Florida or Bama?   Please let it be Florida...

and couldn’t agree with you more about the asshole writer talking “gap” between the programs...  No place for that right after the game...   I wouldn’t have blamed Coach Harbaugh if he had punched the idiot right there...   What is it about some media members?   Really classless!

...”and Michigan doesn’t…

...”and Michigan doesn’t accept the ‘same types’ as OSU...”— not sure that is a true statement.  Was for sure 10-15 years ago, but OSU has definitely raised the bar as to the academics required for football.  Our problem isn’t the high academic entrance requirement, its taking talent and transforming it into championship caliber football teams. 

”Plenty of DCs”....   Don’t…

”Plenty of DCs”....   Don’t count on that...  Who, and why would they want to come here?

Yes Shea was pissing his…

Yes Shea was pissing his pants most of the first half, but finally someone started calling quick passes to the perimeter— and wow, a different team on offense...  Anyone else notice?

Michigan “too clean” is just…

Michigan “too clean” is just pure arrogance...  One might question that Coach Mattison was a better DC than Coach Brown.  Just seems like this team lacks heart and is soft...  A lot od season yet to come... but need to get this fixed quickly!

Urban is gone... can’t kick…

Urban is gone... can’t kick him anymore...  just sub in Ryan Day.

Unfortunately, it will still be Coach Harbaugh’s offense...  We will see, but if it means Pep is going, it will be better...
