What are the chances Donovan gets the boot come Monday?

HFNY

If the script goes the same, the offense struggles and thus wears out the D wears again so Michigan wins 31-10.

So hopefully at least a 30% chance? Better to rip the band-aid off before Arkansas State and a bye week a few weeks after that than stick with a dead man walking.

Closer to 0 than 30. I don't see JL thinking it's as bad as everyone else outside the building does and I also don't see him being able to sell Cohen on it, who is coming to grips with attendance free fall numbers they didn't budget for at all.

Jimmy seems to be the type who will double down on an unpopular stance just to prove the naysayers wrong. He is going to go down with this ship.

Lake knows he has absolutely zero ability to effectively replace even shitty Donovan

Option 1; Get criticized for firing Donovan and then criticized again when he can only get the RB coach from some FCS school to take the job and then not have an scape goat when things still dont improve.

Option 2; Ride it out and ignore the problem while blaming covid and save firing Donovan for the 11th hour to save job.

This. Nobody wanted to come here BEFORE the wheels fell off and we lost to Montana. He'd be lucky to get the RBs Coach from Bellevue now.

Jimmy has a big ego. Not sure how long he will be able to stomach criticism from fans/media. Firing Jon Don is the only way he can try to change the narrative if (when) the offense lays another egg vs Michigan. I can see Jimmy firing Jon Don on the tarmac and making Junior interim OC for remainder of season if he thinks it will make his life easier.

You don't need a name. Skip Dumbfuck from Massillon High is better than some expensive retread like Donovan

Its a fucking spread offense not rocket surgery

Not sure you realize the script actually has us winning. Michigan is us in blue

They'll say "That was a good Michigan D"

I wish this would be the case but with the injuries at WR, vintage Reggie Williams and John Ross ain't walking in the door any time soon.

"It's not about the X's and O's, it's about the Jimmy's and Joe's" is often said about the college game but what if crucial Jimmy's and Joe's are injured and the OC sucks so badly he can't mitigate that with the X's and O's either?
