Harbaugh does not run a conventional pro style offense and I highly doubt he forces his offense on the players we have. It will be a slow and smooth transition over to his offense.

But, the problem is really the TSUN D, how long would it take an incoming coach with a defensive philosophy (as distinct from the total absence of one under RR) to turn that around? When there is a dearth of talent recruited, or on campus that fits the bill - I'm guessing that is the long (multi-season) transition.

I have no idea why Michigan fans are so deluded as to think they can attract Harbaugh to Ann Arbor. I see his next coaching stop as the NFL.

And there's that rub to boot. Not a guaranteed hire.

The problems are much deeper than that - granted, the defense gave up 458 points this season (35.2 per game, historically bad), but the supposedly unstoppable offense averaged just 16.3 points per game in the three season-ending losses to quality opponents, and the special teams are amazingly awful. And with RichRod's questionable recruiting strategies, is there any real talent in the pipeline? And it also looks like the team quit down the stretch.... Lots and lots of things are broken in Ann Arbor right now, and a coaching change isn't going to fix them all overnight. Over/under for Michigan to be a legit Big Ten title contender ... four years.

With a coaching change a blind squirrel will find a couple of nuts before the 4-years is up, but they have a culture of losing there right now and that has to go full cycle before I think they are really legit contenders again. I put it a 5+years before they are back.

Huge damage that guy did in such a short period of time.

GBYBM! YMSOB!!!!

You know, it just seems like yesterday that TSUN posters were telling us how that new Mr RichRod would cure all ills. The spread offense would have Tressel and his defenses on their knees, walla, walla, walla.

I agree with Mili, I think TSUN would regain its respect and maybe even beat Ohio State one day. But punch Tressel in the mouth, whoa there son. It's not even clear that Harbaugh would want to leap on that shipwreck.

Over it's last eight games, scum's offense is averaging 24.6 ppg in regulation. It's not like the team is losing games in spite of the offense. More like the defense and special teams are an abomination and the offense is mediocre.

This really is not fair to Rich Rod

The Gator Bowl reached to take Michigan because they are Michigan..the Wolverines would have been much better off in Illinois or Northwestern's bowl slots where they belonged

This is the appeal that needs to be made to Dave Brandon at least L

Life isn't fair either.
On the other hand if they had taken a lesser bowl maybe they could have played someone like Appy St, Toledo, Or even Miss. St. :biggrin:

I'm not sure they would have fared much better. Baylor and TTech averaged more ppg this year than MSU. While MSU had a better defense (20ppg v. 30ppg for Baylor and TTech), that only means that TSUN would have lost to TTech 63-28 instead.

SCUM is really just horrifyingly bad.
