QB Curve: Is There Still Time for Michigan to Fix Devin Gardner? «
Click to expand...

I have absolutely no love at all for scUM (F'em), but I do have an ounce of pity for this kid. From what he committed to until now the changes he has endured (coaching and scheme-wise) and the sieve-like offensive line, he shouldn't have changed his number to 98, he should have changed it to a bullseye. Seriously, I loved what we did to him and his team this year and still enjoy the highlights of their loss to MSU last year, but he was taken out of that game late not for a specific injury, but because he was SO beaten up and battered in general from getting sacked so many times and getting hit nearly every other time he touched the ball be it right after a handoff or a pass. His lineman's only help for him was to pull him up off the ground time and time again.

I still don't think he would have been a great QB as I think there are people with greater skill sets, but I think he could have had a better college career if he hadn't made the decision to be a Meatchicken Man.

the day Rich Rod was fired Gardner should have left too to be honest. He has basically wasted his college career at UM.

The ghost of Tom Harmon certainly wishes he would have left.

yeah i dunno wtf Harmon's family were thinking when they consented to that. It's one thing if Gardner had of been an All-Conference QB or something but he was barely treading water and being provided with little assistance to achieve success :/

100% true Brandon didn't want Miles even though Miles wanted the job. Has to do with some past baggage and beef with Miles. Neither Harbaugh was interested at that point.

This time around, they could get one of the big three IF AND ONLY IF they're really willing to open the checkbook. I'm talking minimum $6 mil+ will probably do it. Both Jim and Miles much more probable than Jon I'd imagine... both have reasons to want out of current gigs.

If you are successful as a coach in the NFL, why would you want to go to a college job? With limiting the time you have to actually coaching the players, to kissing boosters butts, to playing nanny to players antics and (depending on where you coach) making sure they are attending class and passing, much less selling yourself and the school to 16-18 yr olds and their parents...why embrace the headaches and stress?

you see it sometimes where coaches who make the move will say that the pro game is so money orientated and college ball is closer to the grassroots of the game and whatnot..and also cash, bucket loads of cash in terms of salary and benefits.

Mark Harmon is a great guy and he is swimming in NCIS money and knocks boots with "Mindy" for forever. Happy and rich guy can be magnanimous.

Why is John Harbaugh's name being mentioned? Because his brother went to school there?

What am I missing?

No, not really. After that horrendous rain delay (amid the horrendous game) against USF the stadium was still probably about three quarters or a half full.

Then there was another weather delay at the end of the game (when the game was basically over) that I bet would've been a similar empty scene... but I wasn't around for that.

We were there and stayed until the end. The stadium was still 2/3 full after the last rain delay.

To be fair...the lightning/rain delay was about 2 hours. Michigan was down 16 and Utah had the ball. And there were only about 6 minutes left in the game. And, with the way Michigan's offense was playing, they had no chance.

Still provided for some hilarious pictures though. They should have just forfeited the remaining game.

I have been happy every day for the past few weeks. Pizza boy and Fred flintstone are great for my long term health. Really hope they make it through the year because this is just too much fun (even though I would wager against it)

When I was really young I remember a late season game my grandpa took me to that it was pretty empty at ND but it was damn cold.

There were definitely more at BYU last year. That was supposed to be the coldest game in 20 plus years right?

Wow ! I think he should have stayed away from the race stuff, unless he had some examples of how they were not treated equal.

He definitely came off as an angry old man - particularly the stuff about how he "couldn't even get an interview" for a job at UM. But it's not good stuff to have out there from even a mildly high profile alum.

It was the coldest ever supposedly. That game was absolutely miserable. I forgot who we played until now. All I remember was freezing half to death and enjoying nothing.

I think it was the coldest since '91, which was against Navy and 24 degrees. BYU last year was 26 degrees and the first actual snow game since the Snow Bowl in '92. Syracuse in '08 was a close 2nd at 27 degrees...I didn't make it to BYU last year, but I was at Syracuse. It honestly felt colder than 27 with how the wind was and all.

Funny enough, I was at both Syracuse and BYU. At least I saw a W vs BYU.
