According to MGoblow. I have no idea how accurate this is but read it left to right as recruit/freshman/etc etc etc. If this is accurate, they have 3-4 non freshman LB's. I'm sure playing behind such a talented DL will help the new LB's come along quickly.

Seems like a good time to go to a 3-4 look, if you ask me.

Colson is the only one who was there for spring and he was the only likely maybe immediate contributor anyway.

Keeping Hairball was a calculated decision me thinks. It saves the money they'll need to get someone who can turn their program around. But the cost will be in determined by their ability to keep the little talent they have and to be able to recruit anyone willing to play for a lame-duck coach. When he's booted out he's going to leave a very empty cupboard for the next miracle worker.

Given how different today's rules are from 2000 and 2011, it's still amazing that the Bucks were able to hold on to so much talent for Tressel and then Urban to build on. And to be completely honest, I was nervous when Tress got the call. After all, Stoops and other "name" coaches didn't want the job and the term "coaches' graveyard" got tossed around.

Who are they going to get to want to go there to “turn it around” though? It’s not exactly a attractive job currently to established or somewhat established coaching talents. Other jobs will surely open up too that may be better opportunities. Their post Harbaugh head coach search is going to be a mess.

The Bucks got lucky with Tressel. I'm sure there are folks here who know more about that 2000 hiring process than I do. But DII championships don't translate into National championship runs readily.

Ohio State had the same benefits that Michigan now offers: history, big ass stadium, strong alumni support, money. Despite those benefits, Tressel - who was not the first name on their shopping list - was the best they could do. Cooper and Bruce had winning records - Bruce was even one-up on the wolverines -and yet both were fired. Ohio State was seen as "mission impossible just as Michigan may seem to us now. Tressel proved the Ohio State job was not impossible. The Michigan job isn't impossible either, but John Cooper left Tressel the core of an NC team and Tressel and Finkel left Urban enough to attract Alabama-level recruiting classes. Nothing near that is going to be waiting for the coach who replaces Hairball, but history, alums, a big ass stadium, and money will eventually yield results.
