I feel pretty bad for Hoke and the Team

[Michchamp]

Gonna be a long season for these boys.

Sad situation. Never felt this bad about Michigan football, not even during the RichRod years.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Guy making his money I don't feel bad about him regards to football.

 

[Monster]

I feel bad for the team. They've been let down by the coaches. That said, the guys we have now are spoiled by a shitty coaching staff and I don't think we improve for a nother couple years at best.

this just in...

Dave Brandon has just announced a home and home with Oregon in 2046 and 2049. Maybe 2047 is our year.

In many ways, this is worse.

Rich Rodriguez was an accomplished college football coach who was widely regarded as one of the better coaches in the game. I always figured with a different DC, it would help the other side of the ball too, and I was pretty much optimistic to the very end.

Brady Hoke just isn't a very good big time college football coach. In order for him to succeed, he needs coordinators to make up for his deficiencies. The last big time program to have coordinators running the team b/c the head coach was ineffective was PSU with Paterno.

I have no interest in watching UM become that.

What finally got me was that after losing at PSU last year b/c of the timeout fuckup, he loses a chance at points against Miami (OH) at the end of the 1st half last week b/c of the same thing.

He's just not good enough for Michigan.

OSU got Meyer. Notre Dame got Kelly. Michigan got Hoke.

What do you expect to happen?

 

[Michlady]

We are always a year off on these hires

I and someone else said brian Kelly when they settle on Richmond then Kelly goes to nd
No effort at urban who was depressed in 2009 at Florida, takes time off, we get hoke, osu gets urban

Argh. We seem to have lousy timing



Oh and as for miles, looks like #8 lsu losing to unranked team

 

[dubbsco]

And msu caught lightning in a bottle with a sub .500 coach turning elite in a few years.

Yep and now three qbs starting in nfl

Remember when we were qb u.

 

[dubbsco]

Eh I wouldn't put too much stock into that. Hoyer will be replaced by manziel soon enough, and Stanton is not a good quarterback. He won despite playing horrible last week.

 

[Michlady]

Oh I know they are not great qbs. But just a reversal of fortune

 

[hungry]

I don't feel bad for Hoke at all.

I feel bad for some of the players, but not the ones that were standing around watching other people make plays today, running by people they were supposed to block, etc.

Michigan has two that I know of, TB and Henne. Are there any others that I am missing? And a HC in Jim Harbaugh.

Well, a lot more Michigan quarterbacks have been drafted, but are no longer in the league.

I also don't know that QB U means only that QBs get drafted to the NFL, but also has to do with accomplishments they had in their college careers.

Oh, Denard Robinson had a season as a Michigan quarterback where he set some records and ended 6th in the Heisman Trophy voting.

I think he's still in the league.

 

[tinselwolverine]

It looks like Ryan Mallett is still in the league...

Yep, Ryan is a backup QB for the Houston Texans this year. The QB position for the Texans is uncertain and Ryan may very well move up to the starting position this year or next depending on how he current starter does. I don't know if I would really consider him as a Michigan product though.

Jim Harbaugh
Elvis Grbac
Todd Collins
Scott Dreisbach
Brian Griese
Tom Brady
Drew Henson
John Navarre
Chad Henne
Denard Robinson

All but shoelace at least started, if not played a few NFL yrs at QB. Obviously Threet, Sheridan & Forcier would never be drafted and shoelace is an exception. DG is inexplicably playing himself out of a possible job on Sunday

Denard nit okaying as qb

Right, I thought we were talking about currently active QBs. Clearly Michigan has produced many successful NFL QBs (i.e. those that have started in the NFL).
