He gets this season no matter what and is being seriously evaluated next year. -
They're the UCLA of the B1G imo.

Their defense was so fucking good coming into this season. I thought they'd be best in the country. Two elite corners in Long and Lavert Hill, and Hill was the highest graded PFF returning DB in the country. Third DB, Brandon Watson, is a 5th-year senior, with 38 games under his belt coming into this year. Ambry Thomas looked great as a freshman last year. The safeties, Tyree Kinnel and Josh Metellus, were both alright, and Metellus was honorable mention All-B1G.
At linebacker they had a preseason all-American in Devin Bush, and a returning all-B1G player in Khaleke Hudson (who plays the Jabrill Peppers "viper" position). Then there was Josh Ross, Devin Gil, and Drew Singleton fighting for the third spot. Their linebackers looked fucking great.
Then on the line, at SDE and WDE respectively they have Rashan fucking Gary (no explanation needed) and Chase Winovich, who had 8 sacks and 18.5 tackles for loss last season. Then at DT there's Aubrey fucking Solomon and Michael Dwumfour, who kicked ass all spring. Their backup DE's are also excellent.
They legitimately have 2 top tier guys at each defensive group, and they still gave up 9,000 points to Notre Dame. That's on the coach. That defense should be tops in the country. Harbaugh should be in a much hotter seat than he is right now. -

I would also point out that the Michigan defense tightened up after giving up TDs on 3 of the first 4 drives against ND. The first two drives were aided by 15 yard personal fouls and the third was twice extended by penalties on failed 3rd downs. There were a few big pass plays allowed there but for the game Notre Dame only averaged 4.4 yards per play. Only 2.8 on the ground.
I know these statistics go against the popular Michigan sucks narrative but on the season Michigan is easily leading the nation at just 3.4 yards per play allowed (UW allowing 4.2) Since going down 21-3 four drives into the season against ND they've allowed just 10 plays over 15 yards in 4.5+ games (6 pass, 4 rush.) -
Joel Katt had Michigan in the CFP after they beat Nebraska
Like our DAWGS the UM stats work better against the bad teams they play
Pann State and Ohio State will tell the tale. He CAN'T lose to MSU this year -
They'll be fine Creep. Legacy program with better access to 'croots than Nebraska.

That's why the single most important factor in UW's turnaround was the REFUSAL of the base that remembered DJ and Husky Tuff! football to cave into "Yeah, but we're an academis school now" tolerance for shit football.
The fact that Todd Turdner was rejected for trying that shit was what gave Washington hope. There was a Trump-like reaction to the increasingly soft af, "soccer is great, Seattle has more PhDs than you do" crowd at UW that didn't give a shit where the medical school was ranked or that the Husky women's softball team won the title. We want football to win now damn it. W/o that you have no new stadium and you have no Peterman.
If Michigan cares moar about the Ross School of Bidness than winning the big gayme, then they are forever sunk and will never win with any consistency ever again.
Tell me I'm wrong.

As the smartest poaster on our boreds @AUBURNTROJAN would say, Michigan, still has it in terms of MONEY, TRADITION, and LOCATION. Therefore as long as the institution still thinks and cares about football they will be OK in the long run. But as we know, it's better to be lucky than good some tims. The Harbaugh hire is proof the school cares about competing for titles and should have been a slam dunk. Bad luck here and the Urban Meyer factor.creepycoug said:

Petersen saved UW football, but we also benefitted from some extremely good fortune in our rapid ascent back to relevance- i.e., Helfrich, Sark, Clay Helton, etc.

Historically speaking, Michigan still stacks up pretty well against tOSU. Until Tressell got there and whooped your Caribbean arse, the Buckeyes were on a 34 year NT drought. If Bo hadn't sucked at winning NT's, Michigan might be closer to being in the Mt Rushmore alternate in waiting spot.creepycoug said:

Womp. Christ.
Ohio State, LSU, Bama, USC (historically), Miami, Florida State, most of the SEC don't have money. Texas, ND, Stanford, Michigan and Northwestern have $$. I'm not seeing the importance of that variable.
Location. Many programs are in much better locations nearer to fertile recruiting grounds.
Tradition. That's the point of my poast. Only lasts so long. As evidenced by Michigan's drought.
That's a lot of ifs in your poast. My aunt and my uncle are different people. Nuff said on that.
He didnt' whip anybody. He was gifted a title on a bad call.
Really disappointed in your effert here. I've come to expect moar. -
Michigan was decent in 2016. Went 10-3, spent the entire year in the top 10, lost to FSU in the Orange Bowl
-
Michigan location sucks they need national recruits to have any hope of success. Who even in Michigan would want to go there over Ohio State?
National recruits who care about academics it probably their most hopeful angle, but who would want to go there over Stanford or Notre Dame? Who would want to play for that creepy freak? I look forward to watching that program turn into Cal over the next few decades. -

Look, Kreep, I know you're a philosopher king and all and better at academis than me, but sometims I don't know if you understand the MONEY part of this. It's not how much money the chinstitution or the cumulative net worth of the alumni. Rather, it's about how much money can the athletic dept throw at getting the best corches and spending on facilities. The Kewgs have an endowment that is quite a bit larger than the University of Alabama but they are a pour in the world of college sports and Bamma is rich as fuck.

My Canes could win 5 in a row with a rented stadium 45 minutes from campus if the right coach showed up.

Michigan has been filling that place forever. The fact that they keep doing it is evidence that (1) there's not a damn other thing to do in Michigan and (2) they'll never be back.
Why should they? They keep selling out, selling T-shirts and selling blue sky to DAWGs like you. -
Michigan is never coming back until (if) tOSU massively fucks up (as well as Penn for that matter).
This off-season showed us tOSU has no intention of fucking up. -
The fact that they can still sell blue sky polyana forecasts is why they can still recruit. Just ask Mario and Feld about that. #takethepaccreepycoug said:

Axe Oregon or Okie St if facilities are overrated. The two national power, renta-stadium schools both happen to be located within 60 mins of enuff talent to stock the shelves at multiple elite programs. Miami's rise as a national power in college football is a very unique story.creepycoug said:

I axe again, because you didn't answer. What's the deal with Michigan? You said they'll be fine, but I didn't axe if they were going to die.
I axed when I should ever expect to give a shit about them again. -
This is stupid. There are plenty of factions within Michigan's fanbase and donor base just like any other fanbase. Probably more factions because there is a split over what it means to be a "Michigan Man" (Bo said something about a Michigan Man should always coach Michigan.)creepycoug said:

They pushed out a national title winner who won 11 games and went to the Rose Bowl in his second to last year (Carr.)
They also pushed out the next guy who was brought in to modernize Michigan football after giving him just 3 years (Rich Rod.)
As a result of those two possible premature firings Hoke probably got a year too many.
But Harbaugh too will be on the hot seat when its deserved. Its not yet. -

I believe in the year 3 rule where if you're the right coach you can turn a respectable program around in 3 years. Harbaugh just isn't the right guy, which really surprises me given his previous success. Maybe he'll finish this year out shockingly strong. He's not getting fired right now so we'll find out. -
Yes because their offense sucked.Mosster47 said:

Notre Dame might not suck.jhfstyle24 said:Their defense was so fucking good coming into this season. I thought they'd be best in the country. Two elite corners in Long and Lavert Hill, and Hill was the highest graded PFF returning DB in the country. Third DB, Brandon Watson, is a 5th-year senior, with 38 games under his belt coming into this year. Ambry Thomas looked great as a freshman last year. The safeties, Tyree Kinnel and Josh Metellus, were both alright, and Metellus was honorable mention All-B1G.
At linebacker they had a preseason all-American in Devin Bush, and a returning all-B1G player in Khaleke Hudson (who plays the Jabrill Peppers "viper" position). Then there was Josh Ross, Devin Gil, and Drew Singleton fighting for the third spot. Their linebackers looked fucking great.
Then on the line, at SDE and WDE respectively they have Rashan fucking Gary (no explanation needed) and Chase Winovich, who had 8 sacks and 18.5 tackles for loss last season. Then at DT there's Aubrey fucking Solomon and Michael Dwumfour, who kicked ass all spring. Their backup DE's are also excellent.
They legitimately have 2 top tier guys at each defensive group, and they still gave up 9,000 points to Notre Dame. That's on the coach. That defense should be tops in the country. Harbaugh should be in a much hotter seat than he is right now.
I would also point out that the Michigan defense tightened up after giving up TDs on 3 of the first 4 drives against ND. The first two drives were aided by 15 yard personal fouls and the third was twice extended by penalties on failed 3rd downs. There were a few big pass plays allowed there but for the game Notre Dame only averaged 4.4 yards per play. Only 2.8 on the ground.
I know these statistics go against the popular Michigan sucks narrative but on the season Michigan is easily leading the nation at just 3.4 yards per play allowed (UW allowing 4.2) Since going down 21-3 four drives into the season against ND they've allowed just 10 plays over 15 yards in 4.5+ games (6 pass, 4 rush.)
We are talking about the defense here. -
What the fuck universe are you living in? OSU, Bama, and LSU are all in the top 10 of AD revenue. FSU is top 15, and I’m sure USC would be too if they released their financials. Meanwhile no one would ever try to make the case that Miami is anywhere close to a blue blood - their success was brief and was 98% due to location. Money is and will forever be the #1 deciding factor in college football. To try to argue otherwise is mind-bogglingly stupid.creepycoug said:Womp. Christ.
Ohio State, LSU, Bama, USC (historically), Miami, Florida State, most of the SEC don't have money. Texas, ND, Stanford, Michigan and Northwestern have $$. I'm not seeing the importance of that variable.
Location. Many programs are in much better locations nearer to fertile recruiting grounds.
Tradition. That's the point of my poast. Only lasts so long. As evidenced by Michigan's drought.
That's a lot of ifs in your poast. My aunt and my uncle are different people. Nuff said on that.
He didnt' whip anybody. He was gifted a title on a bad call.
Really disappointed in your effert here. I've come to expect moar.
