Fair but he's a hard ass take no bullshit guy by all accounts.  That's what this team needs more the xs and os in my opinion. Rhule and Frank definitely didn't seem to have the knowledge (rhule)  or personality to hold guys to the fire and demand better effort

I'd say we need both, but they don't necessarily have to be one guy.

As far as patience, when I'm tempted to rush things, I just repeat the phrase "Rob Johnson could start for 20 NFL teams" 😕

Pretty damming for Bryce.  Below is the aforementioned Rob Johnsons stat line from his first career start. Bryce hasn't had a game near this efficient 

 

Johnson started his first game on Week 1 of 1997 as Brunell was still recovering. In that game on August 31, 1997, Johnson completed 20 of 24 passes for 294 yards and two touchdowns

That was an illusion though.

We might find out next year that a lot of Young's issues from this season were too.

A name that could make the rounds this HC search COULD be our old friend Joe Brady.  Not saying that WE would be in on him, but hey they interviewed Ken Dorsey last cycle so I guess anything is possible.  Great position for Joe to be in as well, he could take a HC or presumably just stay as OC in Buffalo.  If as many positions open up as "insiders" think were gonna hear some off the wall names for candidates.

My guess is there will be 10 or 9 HC open jobs. Some unknown or lesser known guys will be HCs and watch out for college ranks getting picked. Simply not enough HCs to fill given many of the fired ones will not get another shot(ei ron rivera, reich, etc...)

Yeah, there are a few college guys I could see getting jobs.. Harbaugh, if a team likes Dan Lanning enough from Oregon, Dan Campbell from ISU could make the NFL jump as examples.  I can see 6-7 OBVIOUS openings or hot seats. Carolina, LV, LAC for sure NE, WAS, ATL likely with Chicago being 50/50 or 60/40 in favor of firing Eberflus.  I don't see many seats that will open besides those this season.  I don't see the Jets this season especially with how the A Rod situation worked out this year. I don't see TB/Saints either but Dennis Allen seat will probably get hot if they don't win the "Weak NFC South" Black Monday can't come fast enough I wanna see what shakes out.

All you Harbaugh folk smile. Michigan just got some new allegations or whatever from the NCAA. He may not want to deal with that.

If it's stemming from his recruiting violations its a Level 1 infraction, shouldn't be much that comes from that from a discipline standpoint

The good news is that all the openings aside, the candidate pool is really intriguing to me this year. I can talk myself into any of the following:

-Ben Johnson

-Lou Anarumo

-Mike Macdonald

-Frank Smith

-Bobby Slowik

-Jerod Mayo

-Evero

I would be pleased with any of these at surface level. But considering three of them are defensive-minded they may not even be on Tepper’s radar.

I also don’t think we’re too good for a retread like Dan Quinn or Jim Schwartz. I just hope and pray the HC gets to bring in a GM they feel like they can work with.

Yeah I doubt anything happens with this. Michigan allegedly gave more to recruits than an allowed for food? Something along those lines? 
 

no doubt the ncaa is mad as hell at Michigan though. Their basketball coach is a goon who probably should have a couple assault and battery charges and Harbaugh has been all over the news for pushing boundaries. 
 

imho and I have no real evidence to back this up, I think its a big reason why UM is playing Bama in the CFP and not FSU. Florida state would have basically been a BYE for Michigan and they are hoping bama can take Michigan out. Shadow punishment. 
 

michigan, like UNC, has the resources/alumni/and money to sue the F out of the NCAA

      Be careful what you wish for

      Like that matters. That's the first thing. I suggested that it's probably better to let a QB sit and learn, and that's what I meant. Secondly, in what planet am I making excuses, my friend, or engaging in any mental gymnastics in Bryce Young's defense? As I have said, I don't care if he turns into Mighty Mouse, it's time for him to go. In my opinion, he's too short to be a successful QB in the NFL. I have seen enough. I'd rather trade him and take my chances with Hooker, at least he's more of a prototypical size and can actually see where and why he's throwing the ball.

      About that schedule.

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      There is a scenario where our team comes out prepared to play football instead of shitting the bed for the first quarter. Every bad Bryce game seems to start with him looking incompetent - the OL looking incompetent - and the defense looking incompetent.  Boom, down 14 before we know what hit us. Imagine a world where we come prepared and play with a lead, and Bryce gets to fulfill his ceiling by managing a game instead of playing catch up. He's bad, but upon reflection he is not Clausen bad.  He can move the team down the field when he gets 4 - 5 seconds in a clean pocket against a soft zone.  I don't think Clausen could do that.

      You are literally naming almost entirely instances where they are sitting behind a well established if not star player that was already on the team. That's a different scenario entirely.  Listen, if you want to make all the mental gymnastics for excuses, have at it. I think the facts are clear, Bryce Young is not an NFL caliber player. Furthermore, no amount of pine time nor change of scenery is likely to change that.
