Yes. I like to use Dennis as a proof of the UM coaching situation. He was a serious football mind, innovator, good enough to get two nfl head coaching gigs. And won two titles at UM with JJ’s guys. But even he couldn’t maintain the UM program. Because, as you know, evals and recruiting...

I have expressed smilar concerns about Manny’s recruiting under Pricht. I think he gets the difference as HC but we will see. As for our past coaches, totally dksagree. JJ at his peak was the best coach not named Belichick I ever saw. Howard was a legend. Erickson was a schematic innovator...

We’ve had some very solid DBs over the past decade. Maybe not ST level, but no one is. We were spoiled to have the two best safeties ever to play football overlap in the early ‘00s. Our DBs have been solid mostly, despite some truly Godawful evals and recruiting decisions by Shannon and...

In other news, water is wet and the sky is blue.

Is it funny because you think our roster has been title worthy the past decade? If so, let’s have that discussion. We all know that our coaching has stunk, so not sure what there is to say on that point. It certainly isnt new, interesting or controversial. In any case, you are too smart...

What’s kept us from COARSTAL titles is coaching. What has kept us from being relevant for national titles is coaching (including talent acquisition and roster management).

Point: our players have been good enough to wn the coarstal. Counterpoint: but not good enough to compete for titles, and not as good as they should have been if we’d evaluated and recruited better, and we have had major roster holes for years, including tok many unfilled seats for far too...
