Year 5. Dead last. No Covid year. I'm not sure what else is needed for this decision to happen. Maybe an AD with a spine?

Glad to see him land on his…

Glad to see him land on his feet. Also, fuck the NCAA.

There are many reasons on…

There are many reasons on here as to how Howard got here so I won't repeat them. One thing I will add though is how much I miss Beilein's teams improving as the season went on. It got to the point that when they would have a couple of early losses, even if they were bad losses, I wouldn't worry because I knew they'd improve from that. This does not appear to be the case with Howard's teams though. They seem to start strong for a couple of games and then taper off quickly. IMO it shows a lack of teaching, particularly in the area of fundamentals. In many ways Howard is the Brady Hoke of the basketball program. A Michigan guy, good recruiter, very likeable, but one who took on too much too soon. I hope he lands on his feet eventually but it is time to move on.

What do your dishonest questions look like?

It's about damn time the NCAA did something in Michigan's favor.

If this is a serious…

If this is a serious suggestion you should also research "Mel Tugger" and consider him for the position as well. He could definitely yank us out of this situation we are in.

He would be a great option…

He would be a great option for a DL coach. He could also help with special teams if that was needed. I would definitely be excited to see a post about us hiring Ryan Osborn.

I think a combination would…

I think a combination would work well for these reasons. Maybe let Wink bring in his LB guy who's rumored to follow him. You can then hire a DL guy with recruiting chops that Wink can work closely with to fast track teaching him the system. On the back end maybe stick with 2 coaches for corners and safeties so they can focus on learning those positions before eventually cross training for each other's position. These two can also be top notch recruiters. Wink's LB guy could help with all of this along with analysts who have been in the system. Keep in mind that just because Elston and Clink are gone does not mean they wouldn't come back in a couple of years as the DC. They are still in the system under Minter, and both could be thinking this is a likely career progression. That would be an option for the future since it is unlikely any of the newer guys in the system would be ready by then. The new guys would be experienced at their positions by then which would ease the pressure a first time DC would feel if he had to train new position coaches on top of his normal duties.

We lost Elston, Partridge,…

We lost Elston, Partridge, Clink, and Jay from the defensive staff this year. They were arguably our four best recruiters. Moore needs to make hires that have some recruiting chops. Development and evaluation go without saying but we have to be able to also land these guys. Hopefully Wink understands this too and gets on board with this being a priority as well.

You are so full of shit.

Quite indeed.

It's me. I'm the new father. I will never forget watching Michigan win a national championship while feeding my daughter a bottle in her Michigan onesie with her not exactly sure why her dad was so excited that night. She was feeding off my vibe that night too. I like to fool myself into thinking she knew what was going on, but really that was just my bias. But still, it marked a moment in time for us that I will never forget. Here's to hoping Coach Moore creates plenty of good, timestamped memories for us in the future.

I approve this message. On to John's next coordinator in waiting please.

IIRC in those 5 games he was on pace to have an All-Big Ten season before the dirty hit. And like you said, only a sophomore. He worked his ass off to come back it just wasn't in the cards physically. There is a reason Harbaugh took him on as a GA and promoted him as he earned it.

Niiiiiice! I root for…

Niiiiiice! I root for Newsome and am glad to see him working his way up the coaching ladder.

I feel like Jay is being…

I feel like Jay is being groomed for offense. I took his move to coach safeties as also part of that since reading the safeties are a significant part of reading defenses. I could be wrong about that but it made sense when the move was made. For all I know, he could very well have made a move to defense. Whatever he wants to do I think you offer the next step to him and try to keep him if possible. He's proven he can do anything he's tasked with and do it well. A co-coordinator role of whichever side of the ball he prefers would definitely be a good move for Coach Moore to offer.

I wasn't thinking "Fire…

I wasn't thinking "Fire Harbaugh!" in 2020. I was thinking "Fuck Covid!" and wondering why they even bothered having a season. Many of our best players sat out that year, and with the lack of depth it made for a rough season. I don't totally regret having a season though since it ultimately ushered in the changed that brought about the last 3 seasons. But in the moment, I was more pissed at Covid than Harbaugh.

This is the only thing he as proven since taking over the head coaching duties at OSU.

He got the memo. He just forgot. You might want to resend it just to make sure.

Seems like he's going to be…

Seems like he's going to be walking into another toxic situation.

I'd say the toughest team…

I'd say the toughest team they played all year was the NCAA/B1G team. That was the closest we got to being taken down all season. When those two fucks teamed up it was for keeps. So thankful we beat them anyway.

Remember when the narrative…

Remember when the narrative was "Harbaugh can't win championships" and now today he's shopping for an even larger trophy case?

I have to believe Clink has…

I have to believe Clink has been groomed for this possibility since he got here. Harbaugh is not the type to prepare his assistants for advancement and not have a plan for when that happens.

So a "hoke" game is one…

So a "hoke" game is one where the HC doesn't wear a headset and his only adjustment is to clap on the sideline, and sometimes yell out "make a play" to the huddle?

I root for most people to…

I root for most people to achieve their lifelong goals so yes, I'll root for him. If he is ever up against my team I won't, but that's the only exception. I'll also root for him to replace Warde as AD upon his retirement from coaching. Santa seems to be a big enough Harbaugh fan to someday make this a reality if it's what Jim wants to do.

O and Two for You.

Just get him on a podcast before next November if he pans out.

I saw someone today say LSU is the Penn St. of the SEC and I will never look at LSU the same.

We didn't have Blake Corum…

We didn't have Blake Corum last year vs TCU. I have to believe he is enough to win that game. The best way to neutralize Penix is to keep him off the field. The run game is the best way to do that. I don't think we should run into a brick wall, and I don't think that will be the game plan either. If they send the LB's and safeties then short passes to keep them honest. After that, just let that clock run during some long scoring drives.

I'm proud to say I do not.

I'm proud to say I do not.

Hopefully you didn't leave Kevin home alone this time.

They need to take whatever…

They need to take whatever Harbaugh says about Orji with a grain of salt. He has always viewed Orji with his eyes wide shut.

Nick Saban's 3 game suspension should be effective immediately.

Day should hire a PI firm to get to the bottom of this.

Fleck is the only one who…

Fleck is the only one who didn't pile on Michigan when this broke so I'm only assuming those last comments about how good Michigan is came from him since all the others bent the knee. Fleck is also a big "culture" guy too so he would notice something like that as well as know how important it is to winning. Me saying Fleck said it is only a guess based on the above mentioned things.

This is why I'm not, and…

This is why I'm not, and haven't been for ~20 years, "Pro Big Ten." They all root against us every chance they get save for a rare few. I hope Michigan wins the only two Big Ten bowls games this season and every season. That said, kudos to Coach Fleck for his comments at the end.

With that last name he…

With that last name he deserves a tryout in Green Bay.

Ryan Day has it.

Are you trying to get a PI…

Are you trying to get a PI firm investigating the Lions?

We're going to need a lot…

We're going to need a lot more than a new LB coach by the time this is all said and done. Harbaugh himself said he has 4 ready for head coaching positions now and other ready for coordinator duties. My guess is Moore is gone. Newsome will slide over to the OL with either Jay and/or Hart coordinating the offense. We'll need to hire LB, safeties, and TE coaches. Jay can probably coach TE's but my guess is he won't if he keeps special teams coordinator duties. Hart will keep RB's unless a dynamic recruiter becomes available. It's going to be a wild ride on the carousel this off season and I'm here for it.

Still waiting for sanctions of any kind on a relevant SEC team.

That would be a shotgun to the dick of the NCAA.

I want Ryan Day suspended for the game by the Big Ten based on hearsay that he is behind the PI firm hiring. He should be suspended until we find out for sure he is not behind it. There is now precedent to back this move up.
