Can a fix happen as it did at Michigan?

Jim Harbaugh has had a rough go at Michigan even though he came there with high expectations. His problem was quality assistant coaches so his brother helped him out sending him a quality defensive coach from the Ravens. Manny did rapidly switch OC's when Enos was so pathetic, he tried himself as DC and that failed but it could be a one year shot that could be remedied. Having Lashlee as OC and finding a top defensive coach just might be a solution rather then starting all over from scratch. I think a one year gamble would be worth saving the progress we've seen since the rapid switch of head coaches has not rendered any improvement. I like our offense, I like the players we have and our main problem for many years is not having a Hurricane style defense. All it would take is fresh blood at the helm of the defense to remedy and simply adding a DC is a lot less expensive and could be a rapid fix. Manny has ben good at solving problems, what if he fires him self and brings in an innovative DC. I also think we need a new SC coach, one that understands the athletic aspect of sports. Every team has muscle bound individuals but we need to improve the athletic ability not brute strength.
The gator fired their assistants that are failing them, maybe that would be a solution?

Harbaugh has the advantage of having played at Michigan, and for Bo.
If we got Mario he would probably get similar homecoming treatment as harbaugh has at Michigan.

FYI, Harbaugh was a creep. I was in high school in Ann Arbor when he was the starting QB at Michigan and this guy would show up at high school parties and hit on the girls. Completely ruined it for the rest of us.

I like your optimism, but ask Randy Shannon how that worked out for him. ****, ask Richt, he was feeling the heat after his 3rd year. Yes, he retired with his health issues, but let's not pretend people were patient with him after the program regressed beginning with the 2017 game at Pittsburgh.

I can definitely see where you’re coming from. Not to mention there’s so many high profile schools looking for coaches during this carousel waiting until next cycle for a coaching change may be the best option. Unless we get Mario or Lane what’s the point in settling.
