Last season's scUM offense was widely viewed as one of, if not THE, most inept in m*ch*g*n history. Al Borges received a lions share of the blame for their struggles. Along with a sad sack OL, he was called a "dinosaur" who was stuck in the past. They all crowed when Nussmeier came over from bammer, despite the fact it was widely known nobody in Tuscaloosa was sad to see him go. The results? An even worse offense in 2014:

Passing offense-- 162.8 ypg, 116th nationally
Rushing offense-- 166.6 ypg, 63rd nationally
Total offense-- 329.4 ypg, 117th nationally
Scoring offense-- 20.3 ppg, 114th nationally

They're averaging an astonishingly bad 13.5 ppg against "Power 5" opponents. I guess we can chalk up "man ball" as a MASSIVE fail.

It's hard to blame Nussmeier any more than it is to blame a freshman coed from gaining the freshman 15.

Going from working from Saban to working for Hoke is like going from boarding school to Arizona State. There's no rules, you can snack at the always open cafeteria, and party Monday to Sunday. Got a test tomorrow? "Fuck it, mom and dad aren't around. I'll do what I want and get blackout drunk on $1 draft beer."

I totally expect that Nussmeier stays up all night playing Xbox, drinking Natty Light, and masterbating to his Nick Saban shrine. I mean, at least that's what his GPA makes it look like.

The thing with Gardner is he has shown flashes of brilliance...look no further than The Game last year. He has the ability, and by most accounts he's a pretty bright kid. They've just bumbled how they've used him horribly. He's a terrific athlete and probably their best running threat. So what do they do? They bring in an OC that tries to make him AJ McCarron. That exposed his flaws to an epic degree and they've never schemed to work around them. They just keep doing the same thing week in and week out. And good coaches can actually work with kids to improve their weaknesses. Look how much Braxton improved in two years with Tom Herman. Not these clowns. Gardner makes the same mistakes every single week. They totally ruined him. That coaching staff is quite possibly the worst in a conference of crap coaching staffs, and that puts them high in the running for worst nationally.

Gardner in the Urban/Herman offense, or the dickrod offense could actually be pretty scary. But, nope. They pigeon hole him in their dinosaur "man ball" offense where he's a fish out of water. Just so stupid.

Hey, now. Can't see how that could be true.

I mean, Tater was all about the academic's.

Forcier gets some points for transferring out, doesn't he? Of course, he was more-or-less FORCED to transfer out (because he's a whiney baby) - so maybe he loses a couple more points. But even so, doesn't that help the trio get to 100?

More than pretty scary. In this offense he'd be a hybrid TP and Brax. There IS talent on this team. There IS potential. But after little brother sodomized them there hasn't been much in the way of heart demonstrated. I hope the Bucks come out the way they did for Sparty and the Gophers and not the way they half-assed through three quarters on Saturday.

I never stopped caring/believing no matter how many times lucy (cooper) pulled that ball away. Probably cause even though he couldn't win the game, cooper kicked the crap out of everyone else.

exactly. For all the trouble Coop had with UM, he was still a solid coach that always had osu in the thick of things. The only thick we're in now is...........well, I'll leave the door wide open for you on that one.

I think somebody took a few too many shots to the head in his playing days...

Marcus Ray: “Number one, I’m going after Nick Saban. I’m going after Nick Saban down at Alabama. I think Nick Saban has got about six to eight years left. I think Nick Saban would look at the Michigan job the way that the Ole Ball Coach (Steve Spurrier) looked at South Carolina. He was long at the tooth, but he didn’t want to get out of the game. It was a challenge and he made South Carolina competitive. But knowing Nick Saban, former head coach I believe at Toledo, he might be an Ohio guy too. (Sam Webb: He’s a West Virginia guy)… this Michigan coaching thing has become like a Mount Rushmore, so that’s why Brady Hoke said he would crawl from California to get this job. I bet you will. That’s why Butch Jones looked me in the face and said, ‘I’d coach there in a heartbeat. ‘ I bet you will. Because it is such a valued chair to be in there. I would go after Nick Saban first. His time is done in the SEC. Those teams are catching up to him. SEC is so competitive. Why do you thinkUrban Meyer left Florida? Because he saw he was going to have to cheat. The SEC West was getting ready to turn up and he got out of there. ‘Oh I got a heart attack.’ Whatever. So he got out of there and went to a conference where he could win. Nick Saban, after this season, has run his course in the Southeastern Conference. He can go to a place like Michigan and turn it around. It is not hard to win in the Big Ten. Minnesota shows you that. Nebraska, Wisconsin, they’re all showing you that. So he could come here, get his face on Mount Michigan Rushmore. He’ll go down as the guy who turned the program around and if he can get Michigan to where Alabama is in this day and age, he’ll go down as the greatest coach to ever be here. He would take that challenge.”
