I thought for a first-time offence it's a 2 to 3 game suspension. I may be wrong. What I meant is that I was hoping it wasn't some locker room dispute in which our best recruits may be looking for a way out of this program. I now know it was a collarbone injury, which freaking sucks. Green transferring though... that'd hurt.
Forget superstition. He did a good job of improving facilities, but the guy is a CEO and we need a real Athletic Director. Too bad Beilein isn't an option (nor would I want him to be). But he'd be one hell of an AD.
No. He'd probably make a better AD than Brandon, though.
It's the venimous attitude from Michigan fans, from fans giving up, from fans totallly throwing their hands up in the air in forfeiture because, OH GOSH, we don't like Alabama. Especially when we've been in a similar situation just 4 to 5 years ago. Have we learned nothing? Give things time, even if that time is only 6 to 8 weeks.
Yea, I don't know if it's totally fair to judge him based on his time here yet. And he doesn't have the power, as a firstyear OC, to completely transform a program. He seems to control the field and players better than Hoke anyhow.
Not particularly a supporter. I just think we, as Michigan fans, need to stop being such arrogant fans. All these things people have said are true, I don't disagree. But what I don't like to see is a fan base that wants to bring out the guillotine in the middle of a season.
We had the 9th best defense in FBS coming into the last game....
edit: Wait, that doesn't sound right. But I swear I heard it on the broadcast. Or was it 9th in the b1g..... Probably that. Fuck it I don't care anymore.
Not trolling. I'm saying put away the pitchforks for one second and support this team during the season. At the end, we'll see. And as I've said in other replies to people: what's the alternative? WHO CAN TURN THIS PROGRAM AROUND? And how long will it take? You lose recruits. Players came here to play for Hoke. Fine, fire him, but don't complain when we're in the same situation in six years.
My primary point was to be patient. Be careful what you wish for. Be prudent, and consider what the costs would be to change coaches. It could potentially be another 5 years of rebuilding. That's my point.
I've reached a point in this season where I know longer have much hope for bowling. I'm resigned to the fact that we are a team that has shown confusion, misnagement and absolute mediocrity. I haven't missed a game. I have turned them off, but I inevitably turn them back on.
I think, for a moment, Michigan fans and alumni, such as myself, need to take a step back and be prudent. What we have on our hands is a terrible season wrought with controversy and embarassing losses. Let's consider, however, the alternative: There is no need for one.
Hoke's building a culture. He needs one more year after this. Forget the record -- drop the history bullshit. Regardless of Brandon's excercises, Hoke needs more time to truly let his team develop. New OC, great DC, terrible clock management. Next year we have a more traditional QB who will be more effective in the pocket than Gardner, God bless his soul.
We, as Michigan fans, need to learn some humility. Ultimately, what is more important: Wins and Losses, or building a program that is respectable, plays by the rules, plays tough regardless of the score, and sticks with each other.
I hear no controversy in the locker room and believe the players are fully behind Hoke. Can we please take a moment, take a breath, and have some patience? What kind of fans are we if we don't support our team? You can't be a fan because it's convenient. SUPPORT THIS TEAM. We aren't the program we once were in 2006 (it hasn't been that long); I'd rather have a locker room of true student-athletes before a locker room of NFL draftees. When the former comes, the latter will inevitably happen.

Fans really need to show up. Don't be like Bengals fans. I live in Cincinnati and Bengals fans are the freaking worst. Don't be like a Bengals fan.
I'll never get tired of this GIF. When Beilein actually gets mad at you at like that, you know you're wrong.

Yay, more good news!

Murphy's Law prevails again.
Smith could potentially really grind down a front D-line if our O-line can do SOMETHING.
The entire MGoBlog forum seems to have a lot of coaching ideas. Maybe they'll just hire us.
Neither of whom we will probably be able to hire.
I mean in this best way possible: I hope he just injured himself or failed a drug test.
No. He'd probably make a better AD than Brandon, though.

It's okay to have a difference of opinion, you know. Or, to perhaps, play the devil's advocate.

What about Doug Nussmeier? If he worked under Saban, perhaps he knows how to run a program like Saban.
I wish John Beilein could be our AD, to be honest.
Enough with the hyperbole.
Serious déjà vu here. We're going in circles, fellas.

Perhaps you're right. But what is the alternative? Another five years of rebulding?
