Imagine that, continuity but these Michigan folk ready to tar and feather Jim and run him out the city because we not Alabama

Luke was pulling in top 20/25 recruiting classes too. Now that’s gone

And before peeps bash us, they should know that we aren't saying that you have to just "accept" being second fiddle and to never shoot for the stars but as Sauce said, you HAVE to give it ample time to grow as far as the HC is concerned if you aren't a major program. The big boys of college football can afford to fire a coach after 2-4 years if they're mediocre cause they have money and clout to lure a big time coach to come in. Florida for example KNEW it could fire McElwain and shoot for Kelly and Frost and if that didn't work out, the floor would be to fall back on a solid canidate like Mullen who turned out to be the right guy.

Say Ole Miss doesn't get Norvell and Malzhan doesn't go to Arky (which now we KNOW isn't happening), what the hell both of them gonna do now? I mean, yea Arky had to fire Morris but who gonna take that job and will they have time to fix it? That Petrino firing was dumb then and they still haven't recovered from it now.

Look at Tennessee. They're smart. Give Pruitt time and leave him alone. Nobody jumping to coach there so just let him do his thing. Hell they did the right thing with Butch and gave him 5 years before pulling the plug on that.

You should ONLY pull the plug early if you have a home run hire on deck.

Right.

shyt is shameful. Everybody know you have to wait at least 6-8 years for a coach to really hit his stride in recruiting and install his scheme/system, let that system get a couple of upgrades, and then only then can we really gauge what we got on our hands. fukk wrong wit' people? :why:





Also, good for Mack.

Even the losses were only by 1 score. :whoo:

Yep imagine if Tennessee would’ve fired Pruitt after that Georgia State loss. They stuck with him and Tennessee ended the season on a 5 game win streak

That’s not a done deal tho. You have to have some continuity in your program. Everything can’t always be perfect. It takes time to build a program. These programs won’t ever be shyt firing coaches every 3 years trying to find the next Saban. The only one that made sense was the Arkansas firing.
I get it. But I can see why they let him go. That Egg Bowl loss was egregious and I think some animosity had been building there regardless.

I'm a huge fan of letting coaches settle in and run a program. That's why I dismiss any thought of trying to get rid of Gus at this point as complete idiocy.

I'm all for continuity, but you're riding for Harbaugh like you're his daddy Jack. Dudes football iq has been shyt since he's been at Michigan and its getting worse. Is it the CTE? I don't know.

*Be down 22 points with 9 minutes left in the 4th quarter and kick a field goal on 4th and 4 from the 27.

*Don't start the best players, if they're underclassmen because.. well, because of the upperclassmen.

*Get bytchmade and emotional with a reporter (who's a michigan fan btw) when he asks you why the game has been so one sided. Aka, is it recruiting, scheme, coaching, lack of talent etc.

*Continue playing guys that visibly quit when the times get tough (Matellus, Khaleke) because they're upper classman.

*Dont make ANY changes to the offense until after we're already eliminated from Big 10 contention, essentially making the season a waste from week 5 on.

*Continue to keep Don Brown on staff.

*Not hiring Mike Hart to coach our RB's when its evident there's a weak link in our offense. Instead, keep your son Jay on as RB coach, when he's never even played the position before. Hell, he's never even played FOOTBALL before. All so he can get a jump start on his coaching 'career'

My dude, I can literally go on and on. I go into work at 5pm this evening, and I could continue listing reasons why we may need to go in another direction. And the ONLY reason I would consider leaving him in at head coach would be for what you said. Continuity. But lemme ask you this.. continuity is good.. but its gotta be POSITIVE continuity. If you instill weakness, and poor football iq into these kids.. day in and day out.. what do you think is gonna show up on the field? Thats right. Bullshyt penalties. Brain farts on the field. Tryna untie and take off an opposing players shoe in the pile. (wtf was that anyway?)

Again.. continuity is good.. if its positive. I cant tell if him staying past this season is a positive or not. I'm leaning towards no.

I mean...when i look at the schedule this season, as I didn't watch y'all this year like THAT, seems to me outside of the 3 L's that the defense did ok. Granted that SHOULD be the case but I do see what you mean though when that defense matches up against and offense that has similar or better talent than UM's defense; shyt gets exposed. Brown has to go. It won't happen but they should look at Missouri's DC.

I’m for Jim because nikkas seem to have developed amnesia and forgotten what happened when we ran Carr out, we are on our level, the issue is the juggernaut in Columbus, and again until we ready to compete like that this is us, don’t matter who the nikka up top is.

I can’t call it on that, I’m sure he had his reasons on whether he should or shouldn’t go for it

I got no answers for not starting some underclassmen and not others but neither one of us are on staff nor see him in practice so i can’t call it my g

He does need to hire mike, but our running backs do look good so it’s not as if we just got a bunch of backs not finding holes, or pass blocking well

I’m telling you the offense is all gattis so take that up with him, y’all wanted a change you got it, it took time, my example is look at LSU it took two years so don’t blame jim, i think he just tweeked the run because gattis run system wasn’t effective and soon as we went back to his the run game took off


Don brown is good, but when you ain’t got the horses ain’t a scheme in the world that can stop it, Don browns defense forces you to think and communicate it’s nfl level defense we just need A+ talent by the way coming into the game our defense was one of the best in the country again, meanwhile Texas just ran they dc up out of there, so you got any candidates ?? Strong got clipped but are we sure he’s got any juice left ???


Kids will be kids especially in a rivalry game

Look you ready to run him out of here and that’s fine, but then it better be home run hire, anyone out there a home run ???

If you don’t have true Dt’s and your secondary sans the true freshman safety can run a 4.3-4.4 ain’t a scheme in the world that can stop that, speed kills in college we ain’t got it
