Michigan is never going to be good again (just like every other big ten team), but congratulations on maybe finding someone to lead you to the capital one bowl.

I disagree, I think Michigan will be good once more when there is not a lummox head coach in charge of them.

A college football team north of the Mason-Dixon line will never win another national championship.

And now the AD speculation begins:

Joe Schad Verified account ‏@schadjoe

Michigan has targeted Northwestern athletics director Jim Phillips as a candidate to succeed Dave Brandon.

Obviously this means that #1 coaching candidate is now Pat Fitzgerald. :smug:

I think my resume shows I fit all the qualifications of a Michigan man.

I also think I have comparable experience with managing a major college athletic program with Brandon.

Good god I hope not. Anyone calling for Strong's head before AT LEAST the midpoint of the 2016 season is not worth listening to. And things would have to be dire indeed for it to be reasonable then.

Well, this year is iffy. We need to beat both Northwestern and Maryland to be bowl eligible. We might get one of them, but winning both is unlikely.

Getting a new coach who knows his rear end from a hole in the ground will probably fix the situation, however.

I dunno, you said New Year's game. But whatever, they've gone to several BCS bowls too. Other than riding arguably the best player in college football history to a title before I was loving born what has Georgia ever done that makes you think they should be way above where Richt has had them for the majority of his time there?

Yeah, I'd take Richt in a heartbeat, but he's not a name that's come up anywhere in discussion of potential coaches, and I doubt sincerely that he's leaving Georgia any time soon.

I'm not sure why it's being discussed here and not in the coaching thread.

Because someone brought him up. I'm fairly sure the thread can survive the brief digression.

There are rumors in the VT fan base that Beamer is being forced out and Richt will be the replacement, but I haven't seen anything connecting him to Michigan.

Iowa (and I assume Big Ten) fans in general have a huge complex about "New Years" bowls, regardless of the fact that there are a bunch of them that have Big Ten tie ins, they're all treated like a giganticly big deal and any non New Years bowls are looked down on.

He literally said "new year's bowl" you doofus. I think it's silly to treat them all the same (although ISU fans getting pissy about it even though the Outback Bowl is in fact a bigger deal than, like, the Independence Bowl are equally silly), but that's how he decided to group them.

And you bring this up way more often than I have ever seen any Big Ten fan actually brag about it, so I'm not sure who the one with the complex is here.

Honestly Georgia has underperformed for like 40 years, and is always the best 2 loss team in the nation.

This is just how it goes.

Although you could probably win the super bowl with UGA players in the NFL that underperformed in college.
