The Gipper Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Riiiight. Cuz I didn't go there or anything. I'm not months removed from actually being part of this whole college process.... Right. You have no more clues about the numbers than I do. You would have to look them up....just like I would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Too bad we'll never know what would have happened if they only used the players on their team that were eligible. Well, we won playing some third stringers this past weekend....so I figure it would be about the same result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Doubt it all you want. I know a lot about my school. I was just saying, from your post, it didn't really look like you understood what people meant when they said they wanted a "Michigan Man" as coach. I understand perfectly. Remember, I come from the same home town as the guy that invented the phrase. I want to hire the best guy for the job, Michigan affiliations or not. It just so happens two of our best choices right now do have Michigan affiliation. Harbaugh and Miles? Sure. Don't think you will get either (though I think Miles may be a better chance than Harbaugh.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLD Woody Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Harbaugh started off as unlikely, then worked to there being a legit chance, and now its trending back down with all of the trade talk. We'll have to just wait and see. There are number of good "poachable" coaches out there. If we don't get a "homerun" hire then a lot of people will be mad at the interim AD. No reason why we shouldn't outside of our own arrogance and /or tight wallets. This was also the first year since 1997 we didn't lead the country in average attendance. Even more reason to not hold back in the hiring process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upper lip Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Don't act like the attendance thing means anything when your stadium holds 15000 more than any other. Ohio state would sellout every game if they held 2 grand. It's pathetic they can go any year not leading the nation in attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browns149 Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 From what we have seen in the past. they will hire a no name guy on the cheap. Rich Rod has scared them away from a big name big time money coach. IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michigans going to go through an SMU type fall. I've never seen so many people back out of commitments than I've seen them do to michigan the last 5-6 years. Players commit, then realize the trash they're going into once they get a little familiar lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the situation surrounding RRod to players decommitting. Yep... we can't get any commitments, that's why we signed the #2 overall player in the country last season. "SMU type fall"... you've got to be joking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 It started when the hired Moeller, and then Carr, and then Hoke 3 of the last 4 coaches were no name cheap guys. Your post read as if we learned our lesson from RRod and now only hire lesser name guys... which would be a sample size of 1. Carr was hired from within the program. Not really the same thing. Same with Moeller, who actually had a lot of previous experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Don't act like the attendance thing means anything when your stadium holds 15000 more than any other. Ohio state would sellout every game if they held 2 grand. It's pathetic they can go any year not leading the nation in attendance. (from Wikipedia) Michigan Stadium Capacity: 109,901 Ohio Stadium Capacity: 104, 944 Almost 15,000.... And, like I said in my post, we've led the nation in average attendance every year since 1997 except this year. Also like 40 something years overall since they started recording the data. So, we pretty much do have the highest attendance every year. Just not when people are so pissed at the AD they're talking about boycotting games.

MLD Woody Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 No, we've had decommitments. All programs do. Especially those going through coaching changes. But, like I've told Gipper, that hasn't stopped us from pulling very highly rated classes (inb4 Gipper misses the point and talks about on field performance) You said our program is broken and we'd suck with Saban. That's not true. Though I'd never want Saban, he's a dirty bastard. RRod failing was on him and us. Not just the program. Thinking we still aren't a top college program is idiotic. Thinking we're going through an SMU type fall is Retarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't consider Retarded a slur for the mentally handicapped. I hardly ever use the word, but when I do, it has no slur context to it. Other than possibly calling someone really, really dumb. That being said, you're just looking for a reason to argue, and I'm feeding the troll. Shame on both of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
