David Brandon YRSOB (brand deflater / email enthusiast / cowardly quitter)

They're going to discuss a lifetime extension for him right?

 

[NFBuck]

Mostly dead.

Here you go, hungry UM fans. My very reliable sources say any decision at Thursday's regent meeting on AD's future is "highly unlikely."

 

[NFBuck]

So, do we start the candlelight vigil?

duh..... People are fooling themselves if they think they're just going fire this guy after all the money he's brought in over the last several years.

This. Billionaires make these decisions, not message board monkeys and t-shirt alumni.

I'd recommend a bonfire. Easy to convert for burning at the stake.

I vote for Bill Martin's yacht, presented by Nabisco(TM), as Michigan's next AD.

I'd like to see a time line graph which compares the decline of Michigan football under Brandon with the decline of pizza under same. Or, as an old friend of mine used to say, "Laugh if you want, but the guy who invented plastic dog shit is a millionaire."

 

[NFBuck]

Still mostly dead?

Yes. Brandon will be around for a while. You don't solve losing games by getting a new AD, and as much as the puppies think they are upset about concussion all they really care about is winning.

The win last week couldn't have come at a better time (in the instrest of prolonging their pain).

I don't think it means much in the grand scheme of things. MSU and tOSU are the only games left that matter. Lose those, and Hoke is definitely gone. I think Brandon is gone too, but I wouldn't call it for certain yet. Things get very political up there, and if he can rally some of his big money backers and sell the others on getting rid of Hoke, he might just have the tiniest of chances of escaping alive.

Agreed, as far as football is concerned. While the pig house is a dumpster fire right now, tsun is having decent success in other sports. The basketball program has done well and in general the money flows are positive. I suspect, no... I pray that is enough for the idiots in charge to keep him at the helm of the ship. He'll eventually do to the school what he did to the pizza chain. That is, take something that is basically acceptable and turn it into a hot mess.

He has the wealthiest guy in his corner but the rest are against him or close to it.
