Meyer Retiring

[biggunsbob]

Dylan was like 165 pounds last year. He might've ended his career last year with the way that line was. He got hurt this year and he didn't even play very much. He needed to get bigger and stronger. He wasn't ready to start as a true freshman and neither was Joe Milton.

Please get over the grad transfer QB/transfer QB thing. It was the best thing for the Michigan program. Now I think that we won't see anymore of them.

Good we don?t need them. It wasn?t the best thing in my opinion. I disagree. I hope we don?t get any more qb?s to leave. Maybe if we can keep Hamilton that other qb will change his mind and come to Michigan yippe . If your a good enough coach you do not need them. You said so youself we all all set a qb for years to come ! I hope so.

Oh. Well, ok. It was a bad argument even if Sbee wasn't wrong. Good to know the examples of Harbaugh being worse than an OSU coach aren't only not as bad, but are also made up.

I know a few UF fans here who are still "disappointed" with the way Meyer left the program to "be with his family" and then ended up as an ESPN personality and was never home on the weekends before he took the O$U HC position.

And Harbaugh conducted a 7:00 presser after the OSU game, so what's this claim he ducked the questioning? He was more obtuse than Worden Norton, but he did not send a proxy.

I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up on another TV show...hell, maybe back at ESPN. I don't know how anybody could blame him for doing something like that. Work a few days a week, 18 weeks a year for a few million? A job like that...you are still going to be spending a ton of time with your family vs. coaching.

I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up coaching again...and wouldn't blame him one bit. Coaches are just like athletes. They say they want to retire but the competitive juices get flowing and it draws them back in.

Purdue has A Brian Brohm on the staff. Is he related to the head coach!!

Heck that was the first team I looked.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Peters leave

Michigan has had 1 year of Patterson and will have another

Then Michigan will have 2 years of McCaffrey

Then Michigan will have 2 years of Milton

They could very well be set for the next 5 years...maybe that is why Harrison Bailey went to Tennessee...

I don't see a lot of programs hiring friends and family of recruits to secure their recruitment, the first time I've heard of it in the big ten was when Michigan was trying to sign a transfer CB from Stanford, then it was Chris Partridge when UM was recruiting Rashan Gary, then it was Devin Bush Sr getting hired after his son committed, then it was Michael Johnson Sr, etc.

The NCAA didn't anticipate this kind of rule bending and is looking to make changes to prevent it in the future. It's somewhat hypocritical to call Meyer shady just because you've lost 15 out of 16 or something like that.

Also, as far as MSU, beating us for the 3rd time in 11 years by 14 points (most since 2005) really isn't "crushing us again."

quite a delusional world you live in Bob

Agr ee i was surprised when the family/friends/coaching hires happened

As fir harbaugh family you do se that in ither places but imwas surprised with some of the others

I do think irban has been the better coach during his time at osu. I just feel so lost in the wilderness in regard to our coaches the last decade

 

[thewolverines24]

Did I say you couldn't get hurt playing a game? It happens all of the time...at every level. I'm certain that every college football player knows that it's possible that something like that could happen. It's a calculated risk.

No, you didn't say they couldn't get hurt. Just pointing out this is a bit more serious than just a game.

I'll also never side with the NCAA over the players. The NCAA tells players they can't make money off their name and skills while raking in money off those players backs. It's hypocrisy at its best. The people who run the NCAA can eat a buffet of dicks.

Brian Kelly hired Kerry Coombs from Colerain High School while he was at Cincinnati. Urban hired him at OSU. He is a huge name in high school football in Cincinnati and Colerain puts out 1-2 D1 prospects almost every year (Joe Bolden came from Colerain). Nobody cared about it and most people thought it was a brilliant hire because of what Coombs could bring in both recruiting the Cincinnati area and the fact that he was a hell of a good coach. I don't see how Chris Partridge or Devin Bush Sr. are any different. They were both qualified to do the jobs they were hired for, as was Gwen Bush, who is still doing the same job 4 years after her grad transfer son (who played special teams and nothing else) has left the program.

Ya, that was some seriously crooked shit Jimmy pulled to get such an instrumental piece to his first squad. Shame on him for giving those families such an amazing career opportunity that they're entirely qualified for.

Until he pulls a job from one of these people once their alleged recruiting purpose is served, I'm not going to knock a coach for taking advantage of hiring anyone that can help them improve their program.

I’m sure you are right on Peters. I just worry one of the Milton and or McCaffery May leave. Pretty sure they thought Patterson was a one and done guy. I’m worried about those two. Love both of them. With this defense McCaffery could have started this year. Frustrating both have the same years left. I guess that is how it goes sometimes.

Milton still has 4 years left. He didn't play in more than 4 games.

Well sure. I guarantee that every athlete in non-revenue generating sports is happy. That doesn't mean a lot to the D-1 football and basketball players who are making old assholes filthy rich while they risk their careers and future every time the step on a field or court.

Then these players don't have to play football or basketball. They can go sell dope on the street or work in a gas station, while guys who actually want to learn, can play football/basketball and learn for free. Football in college has been around for 140+ years, basketball, 120. The NCAA doesnt need to pay anyone, especially if they clamp down on the schools that do it. People will still show up to the games regardless of who is on the team. Unless the NCAA is forced to pay student/athletes by the Federal government, they wont. Also, if the Feds did do this, EVERYONE in every sport would have to be paid..........equally. Revenue to Non-Revenue wouldn't mean shit.

I don't understand why Bob keeps saying McCaffrey should've started this year. He played and got hurt. Why do you think that would have went down any differently if he had started?

Milton can even still play in the bowl game and keep his redshirt.

Drugs and gas stations huh? Sounds great.

What's so hard about letting the kids earn money off their name? I'm not saying the NCAA pays them. I'm saying if some company wants to pay them to be in a commercial or something similar why can't they? Because the old silver hairs don't get a slice. That's the only reason.

I'm playing Devil's Advocate, here. You could, but then you will have a team like Michigan or MSU with a guy like Dan Gilbert hiring an 18yr old and paying him $8million dollars to do one Quicken Loans commercial. This would be all out war for recruiting. It would not end well for inferior programs. College Football and Basketball would be finished as we know it.

Matt Hayes sums up Urban pretty well.

I just read some insane article that gave Meyer credit for why the rest of the big 10 is doing well financially and places like Northwestern are doing so many upgrades. Well, I didn't read the whole thing. I got about 2 paragraphs in and got disgusted.

wtf?!?!

 

[Spartanmack]

no, you're the douche bag spartanmack. something virtually everyone on the board agrees with, but you refuse to see.

where's MC when you need him?

 

[Spartanmack]

You're probably misreading things on that too. It's not that things were perfect on the Michigan side, it's that the MSU actions were worse, warranting the fine. You can think Harbaugh is a bad loser AND MSU was in the wrong that day.

again, I don't want to rehash these arguments again but those fines were a joke. the actions by MSU were definitely not worse. all the petty whining uofm fans interpret anything less than deference to their program and everything about it as a lack of respect they feel they're unequivocally entitled to.

You've managed to meander way off topic without ever setting foot on a correct point. I don't know if I should follow where you've gone (an event where Harbaugh wasn't present and MSU's coach was) or try to go back to this being about a comparison of Harbaugh to OSU coaches.

Mike Dontoni was in complete accord with the assault-and-battery that the historically thuggish and intrinsically evil MSU football team perpetrated on our Michigan football players who were only trying to get prepared for its annual contest with its sister instiution by gaining some valuable insight as to the nature of the grass football surface that the cheating Spartan program very likely saturated with some chemical designed to implant some latent disease that will affect the Michigan football teams' offspring for generations, knowing full well that an adrenline rush would accelerate the effects.
