Even in our 3-8 season we crushed Minnesota.

So yeah, heads need to roll when you lose to Minnesota. Although had Hoke started Gardner, I do think Michigan would have won.

Tho we would be heading towards an 9-4/8-5 season, no 'concussion-gate' and Hoke/Brandon may have survived that.... and gross.

haha, really? That game wasn't even close. Gardner has caught some bad luck, but he's also not very good and has lost to a lot of lovely teams.

It was close until the second half when Michigan's defense had been on the field for 90% of the first half since Morris couldn't sustain a drive.

Gardner came in and led them to a TD on his first drive.

It was 10-7 at half.

Yeah, the last time we had a corporate CEO with no experience as an AD pick the coach it worked out so well...

I hope they have a top-notch search committee and Hackett's only involvement is to rubber-stamp their choice. Otherwise I'd rather keep Hoke for a year and let the new AD replace him.

Yes, but at least Hackett hasn't publicly said that being a 'Michigan Man is the #1 requirement for this job.'

Hackett is going to be the full time AD I have a feeling.

I don't know about that, as I recall, Michigan was pretty adamant about saying he was only an interim AD.

E: Then again, stranger things have happened.

They weren't completely adamant about it and he is making 600K.

There is no 'time-frame' for him to step-down. He will be interviewed for the process, I'm betting.

John U. Bacon (seems absurd to type his full name out but just saying Bacon is also weird) was on the radio Friday saying there was no chance it'd be an outside hire, so...yeah. Inbreeding is the name of the game at U-M.

It'd be the most Michigan thing ever to hire Les Miles now, 7 years too late and having let the program go to poo poo, all because he wasn't Lloyd Carr approved.

All of the insiders are confident on Jim Harbaugh, which is still laughable.

This is what I have been fingers-crossed hoping for in the back of my mind. The way they've been dallying with the AD search and the general lack of concern about everything else means that either things are seriously hosed up in the administration or they already have a commitment from a top-notch coach and even Hackett couldn't screw it up.

Either case would be believable, unfortunately. I don't care if it's Harbaugh specifically as long as we get a known quantity. We've got to get a quality coach this time around.

Hackett is going to be full-time AD if Harbaugh comes.

Jack Harbaugh and Hackett know each other from way back when.

He was really lovely at Michigan and a lot of it was his own fault.

This is true, but Lloyd Carr put him immediately behind the 8ball and the AD didn't let him hire the full defensive staff he wanted.

I think the 3-3-5 could be successful in the Big Ten when not trying to make a 3-4 coach run it.

They waited until January 1st to fire RR just to save $1m on his buyout. They would easily do the same to Hoke.

Footballscoop, a site I have never heard of, is claiming Harbaugh is "not interested" and told Michigan so.

This got an actual response from MGoBlog's Brian Cook, who is claiming multiple sources have talked to Harbaugh and he has shown interest.

Keep the machine turning!

I trust Brian over that other site.

Granted, I don't think Harbaugh is coming, but I think he is keeping his options open for leverage.

The Chief Marketing Officer just said the dumbest thing possible.

quote:

* Univ. of Michigan CMO Hunter Lochman, on college athletes potentially being paid: “The athletes are there for four years. At Michigan, it’s the block M that has the infinity and power, not Denard Robinson. Those are fleeting, four-year relationships, but it’s the block M that’s been there for over 150 years.”

http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Daily/Issues/2014/12/12/Intercollegiate-Forum/Gameday-Experience.aspx

What a tool bag, of all players to say that about, Denard is probably the last.
