Their QB coach/co-offensive coordinator, Matt Weiss, has one year previous experience as a QB assistant and no experience as a coordinator in any capacity.

Harbaugh had to give him a big title to lure him, yet again, from his brother in Baltimore, and it appears a big part of Weiss’ role will be “analytics.”

Sherrone Moore, the OL coach/co-offensive coordinator, has spent his entire career as a TE coach and also has no previous experience as a coordinator in any capacity.

Harbaugh pulled a miracle coordinator hire out of his ass when his brother loaned him Macdonald for one season and now DFBIA thinks miraculous results are going to happen every year.

It’s possible Harbaugh manages to be the luckiest sonuvabitch in the world with his coordinator hires two years running, but the chances that the offense is an absolute disaster, with three cooks in the kitchen, two with zero coordinator experience, and Harbaugh’s 1980 inspired meddling, is quite high.

Especially with his 'genius' on that side of the ball. You can hire a top coordinator and still struggle if you're going to fuck with everyone and everything. Seems like he's more interested in building the Iowa model than anything else. Look like a dinosaur for 2-3 years, hit it big when all of your 3* and 4* reach their 5th years, and then act like you're a genius while applying to 9 NFL jobs.

But hey, maybe this year Harbaugh won't be as arrogant, stubborn, and unlikable as he has been for literally his entire life.

The scUM offense doesn't bother me.

The answer to beating them is more straight forward than anything.

- Win the battle the battle on the IDL and stop being soft attacking run fits.

On defense?

- Don't let them clone Hutchinson

The last one is a big deal. I haven't seen a single defensive player wreck our passing game like that since Ryan Kerrigan. It's also incumbent upon Dawand to make that next step to being a more reliable blocker in pass pro (straight drops)

Beyond that? There was no magic to the skunkers season that would lead me to believe a coordinator change won't do anything but produce worse results.

Edit: forgot the obligatory 'Fuck 'Em'

It seems like Warde Manuel is incompetent; may he take his place in the pantheon of great UM ADs. GBYBMYMSOB.

https://mgoblog.com/content/exit-mel-pearson

For those living under a rock, Pearson was under investigation by the WilmerHale law firm from fall 2021 until spring 2022 […]

The investigation's report, which was finished on May 5 and leaked to the public on Tuesday through MLive, concluded […] the tenure of Pearson and his right-hand man, former Director of Hockey Operations Rick Bancroft, was deeply troubling and problematic.

After the report was released to the Athletic Department in early May, Warde Manuel and his department did.... basically nothing. Pearson's contract expired at midnight on May 1, 2022, and for three months, he remained as head coach without a contract, one of the stranger developments anyone can remember.
[…]
Then, the report was leaked to the media.
[…]
The report's shocking bombshells led many on this space and elsewhere to conclude on Tuesday that Pearson needed to be removed from his position. Interim President Mary Sue Coleman met with Manuel on Wednesday, who, it had been indicated to this blog privately, was still in firm support of Pearson.

That was confirmed publicly yesterday morning when John U. Bacon reported that Manuel stood in opposition to Coleman, as well as the unanimous (8-0) assent of the Board of Regents, who all supported the firing of Pearson.

Hopefully Manuel has the opportunity to blunder around more before he gets fired for doing things like sitting on his hands and an expired contract for three months rather than follow the unanimous wishes of his superiors.

Unfortunately, I think JuggalOno will want his own guy in there, and this gives him the opportunity. That juggalo bastard had better not lay a hand on Simple Jim though.

So.... the passing offense that ttun is set to be the most explosive offense in the conference - if not the country? Really? They must have been at the top of the B1G last year right? No? Oh yeah, that was tOSU. Ttun must have been second then, right? No? Third? How about 7th......

It's worth noting that *ichigan averaged 228 ypg. This was closer to 14th place (Illinois, 156 yps, +72 ypg) than to 1st place (Ohio State, 380 ypg, -152 ypg).
*ichigan + Illinois is only barely more than Ohio State's passing offense.

You know what they say about having two quarterbacks ...

Michigan football in 'great position' with quarterbacks Cade McNamara, JJ McCarthy: OC Matt Weiss

Michigan is engaged in one of college football's most spotlighted quarterback competitions during fall practice, between Cade McNamara and J.J. McCarthy, two players who were instrumental in the Wolverines' success last fall as Big Ten champions. Offensive coordinator Matt Weiss did not lean one way or the other this weekend, after watching his two signal callers during the first few days of fall camp, and said he was pleased with the progression of both options the Wolverines have under center.

"JJ definitely working his way back into it," Weiss said this weekend, via The Michigan Insider. "I think we're blessed to have two guys that would start at most places. We have two really good quarterbacks and the best player is gonna play and I would say they're both really improved. If you look at last fall, Cade has improved physically. Just like any player, he has gotten better mentally with experience. He's playing at a really high level.

"And then JJ has done the same thing. So we're in a great position with both those guys."

Their passing offense being "successful" completely relies on the run being great and taking attention away from it. Even then it is decisively average, at best.

The run game will probably still be at least competent but it's not going to be as good as it was last year. Especially against the more competent defenses. Which will cause a drop off in passing efficiency as well.

Their worst nightmare is either of those QBs having to air it out to stay in a game. That offense just is not anywhere close to being built for that at all.

They’re pumped that no one going into their second year on campus has left the program yet.

https://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/harbaugh-entire-2021-recruiting-class-still-intact

He said so as much on the In the Trenches podcast, as relayed by Zach Shaw in Twitter.

Just a reminder, here's the class.

I got to say, that is pretty astounding in this day and age! It bodes well for the next few year, to say the least!

In addition to it being laughably premature to tout not losing any players going into their second year in the program, it’s the thirteenth ranked class in the 247 composite.

They’re just making shit up to feel good about because the off-season has been such a disaster going into fall camp.

Exactly zero of those players outside of Junior Colson showed anything last year worth getting excited over as well.

They pretend like McCarthy looked spectacular when he got into games, that's not even close to the case.

5/22 ranked inside the top 200

10/22 ranked outside of the top 400

Double the "pray they develop to contribute in 3/4/5 years" recruits than "these guys might play sooner than later" type guys.
