I'm talking about the University of Michigan. The students refused to continue to be a mediocre football program, and after the debacle of the Rich Rod experiment three years ago, and now the slop job Brady Hoke is doing, the students wised up. They focused their attention strictly on the AD, Dave Brandon, seeing that he was the true problem of their football program. Due to the heat he received from several poor decisions he made, he was forced to resign.
We can continue to fly all the banners we want, but our Admin needs to feel the heat to make changes within, as well. Blake James does not have the balls to make changes, and as long as he is here, we, too, will continue to be mediocre. He's only been here since 2013, but most new AD's like to clean things up to make a name for themselves when they see things going array; you know, create their own legacy...he's appears, on the otherhand, to be very content with how things are panning out and so does this admin.
To say fans and the student body do not have a voice in decision making is asinine. Michigan students boycotted games, forcing Michigan to lower ticket prices to salvage some sort of earning. The Alumni refused to donate unless changes were made. The students went to protest, publicly, garnishing national media attention. They forced the Admin's hand to make changes. We, too, need to take that approach. We're losing the recruiting battle in our own backyard...FSU is becoming Miami North. We're losing national respect as a brand. This is not a Golden issue, this is an Admin issue. From Coker, to Shannon, now to Golden, our Admin is the one that's failed us. Our "banners" need to be focused on them, not Golden.
