The OFFICIAL MICHIGAN FOOTBALL TEAM 138 THREAD: THE TEAM! THE TEAM! THE TEAM!

[|r|e|a|d|]

Im shocked at the heel turn folks taking on Harbs. Im reading articles, coincidentally sum cat just called Rome losing it. I'm here like . Wha did folks expect with the youngest squad in the nation? 23 new starters, lost 45 seniors. Jeez folks chill, The only hope this team had to compete was to play it tight and let the D hold on 17-14 all season. That's not sustainable. I get the desire for instant success and wanting a chip immediately but what I'm seeing now got me questioning sum folks.

You really telling me folks feel better with RR & Hoke at this point??

Everyone knew this team was gonna be young. But TALENTED. This team (all three phases) have been getting worse, week by week. That’s not a good sign. They’ve been playing like RR and Hoke were still here. That’s what got us

And then we get to the QB position. All of our young kids are getting thrown in there, and gaining valuable experience, yet we can’t find a couple of series’ for our most promising QB? Hell, A series?

So we’re gonna have a dope team next year, with a QB that hasn’t taken a meaningful snap in his career? Is that really the recipe for success here?

Every problem we have right now begins with our head coach. Whether it’s his decisions, or stubbornness. The best one I’ve heard from the ‘Harbaugh is never wrong’ people is .. ‘do you really want to stick peters in there to get killed?’ Dude.. he’s played football al his life. I’m sure he’s gotten tackled a time or two before.

This season is just a huge question mark from SO many perspectives.

After reading Harbaugh’s press conference today.. I really think this motherfukker STILL isnt gonna play Peters

That’s real, I said it earlier, our team is hella young, hopefully the WRs learn to run better routes, and get separation, we get our o line tight, and figure our qb situation out.


But we are going to be fine everyone relax folks

A) Ive never said Harbs never wrong and ultimately errything falls at his feet including the growing list of enemies hes making but thats a diff story.
2-And as much as this QB thing is on him looking at OKorn you can understand why he aint beat out Speight and as far as peters that cat couldnt beat out either of em so I dont blame him who gives you the best chance to win because again hiding behind our D was our best chance
iii. Upperclassmen mold younger talent and younger talent pushes the upperclass men. Fact is thats wha makes other programs successful they keep talent and are constantly replacing talent and pushing out prior talent. We aint at the level of grey shirting yet ... yet. Less we forget the days of going thru the mental gymnastics of why cats like Sam McGuffie are gonna make a Heisman run or consistently recruiting 3* 5'7 140 lb rbs and 175lb LBers talking bout they gonna be studs

We building something, we faster and more athletic then we've ever been on both sides of the ball with size to boot if you cant see that I'm not sure what to say

I agree with all this.

I just like seeing progression and not regression.

As for Harbs making some enemies.. I hear it too. Comes with the territory.

Whether some want to admit or not a lot of it has to do with the success of OSU.The reality of it is they've been the superior program class of the B10 for the last 15 years. Sparty been better then us since MD took over(unacceptable imo) now PSU coming up which we knew would happen eventually once their sanctions were over.I'm just frustrated it seems like our offense isn't getting better hearing Drevino say shyt like ''stay the course" is to me.We are one of the worst offenses in a P5 that is unacceptable for a program like this same as it is at Tennessee or UF. Sparty was the only game I felt we should've won this year(same like Iowa last year)figured PSU would destroy us.Believe me I understand we are young all over the place but its no excuse to be this bad offensively.Most of us aren't giving up 3 weeks of improvement Rutgers(glorified scrimmage if we struggle time to really panic)Minnesota Maryland should win all 3.Wisconsin&OSU is a brutal end but we'll see.Most of us had 10-2 8-4 record anyway but Drevino more then anyone needs to GTFOH

Agreed ... in truth the only thing that pissed me off about this game was I felt that THIS (PSU) is how you supposed to look coming off a bye week not that shyt we did against sparty

Real talk I don't want to hear about young and inexperienced. What did we do in 2014 with the youngest team in the country:umadurb: Look at the draft records we been setting lately:osucam: If your scUM and your allegedly one of the top programs in history why wouldn't you hold yourself to the same standards?

 

[Piff Perkins]

Any coach who came in would have faced the reality that the Big Ten is a very strong conference. The idea that Harbaugh was gonna come in and magically win titles was always bs. OSU isn't going anywhere (until they get hit with sanctions in like 5-10 years lol), PSU isn't going anywhere, Wisconsin isn't going anywhere, and MSU won't fall until Dantonio retires. It's a gauntlet, and clearly Michigan is not ready to handle it yet.

The problem is that Harbaugh has been given full control of the program, is allowed to spend a fortune on his offensive staff yet the product is trash. Not just the QBs. The o-line is bad. They're paying a "passing game expert" 1mil a year to do...what exactly? O'Korn isn't getting better, Speight wasn't really improving, etc. And the longer this mess exists....the other good teams in the conference are getting bigger and better.

There's no reason to believe the team will be much better next year. Still gonna be behind OSU and Wisconsin, prob behind PSU based on how good their backup RBs are. Which would mean in year 4, Harbaugh still won't have a conference title. So...what's the plan? I don't think Harbaugh is the problem...as I said, any coach who came in would face similar hurdles due to the strength of the conference. But Michigan is paying Harbaugh to be god, and he clearly isn't.

Don't believe that at all I expect Mike&Ben to make improvements at Guard spots Ruiz>>>>>>Kugler WR should be improved TE's gonna be decent only lose 1 RB.We only lose 2 starters on defense why shouldn't we be improved?QB situation who the hell knows at this point can't get much worse.Our issue next year gonna be insanely tough road games

Its not just that team we're young every year cause our players leave early and our top picks. Look at our youth LAST YEAR and we still made the offs. Got blasted but gained that experience. That was LAST SEASON. But y'all nikkas still using the youth excuse Enjoy playing in another wack ass bowl and using that same tired excuse next year
