In light of Khaki pants going to Rome (I'm somehow picturing Chevy Chase in European Vacation)...
Huff with a great Tweet this morning....
- Thread starter VaNtyLion
- Start date
Oh the humanity, it'll be rough for us having to settle for a B1G title.
I don't think it has anything to do with Rome. Just riffing on the famous Schembechler quote.
If your goal is being inside heads but have absolutely nothing to show for it on the field, what's to love?
It's not about hairball being in everyone's head. It's about everyone realizing he's an overrated dick and calling him on it.
hairball should win more.
help me out here. how many bt championships has he won
? lmao.
And I don't see how this can help recruiting ...... unless the recruit has enrolled early and is already on campus. Apparently, these types of trips have been 'outlawed' by the NCAA effective next fall so any future recruits won't get to participate, or is this all up for review because Harbaugh has sway over the B1G and NCAA? Will Delaney come out with special 'one team' rule exempting UM from the vagaries of the NCAA? He's alredy done it with the FNC committee!
He's in our heads while we're in Indianapolis....where would you rather be? PSU 3 Big Ten Championships since scUM won their last one.
And he finished 3rd behind PSU while PSU won the B1G. PSU also finished higher in the rankings, both from the AP and the Playoff Committee before the Bowls. Yeah, I'm sure Jimmy's thrilled with that. Maybe you'll think a little before putting something out of context next time.
Not even did he finish 3rd this year ... he finished 3rd LAST year as well. The highest paid coach in the conference can't finish better than 3rd in his own division lol. He's not in anyone's heads other than them thinking he's probably a tad overrated.
The only head he is in is his own, I'd guess about finger deep...
Better yet, has he come in better than third in the Eastern Division yet?help me out here. how many bt championships has he won
If anyone wants to talk about "hot seats" going into 2017:
- Guy gets paid bookoo $$$$$, and gets a free rein to do whatever the hell he wants with a seemingly bottomless expense account
- Inherits an incredibly deep and veteran roster
- Finishes third in his 7 team division both years (including two losses to "ThatSchoolDownSouth")
- Has THIRTY EIGHT 4 and 5 star recruits in the last three recruiting classes (FWIW, while doing what folks would consider a remarkable job of re-stocking an empty cupboard, PSU has 25 4 and 5 stars over the same time period)
If he don't put together a great year - and kick ass against OSU's "wet behind the ears roster" - he's gonna' look a lot more like Charlie Weis ....... than like Vince Lombardi (or even Bo "I can't win a Rose Bowl" Schembechler)

This falls under a different category that the high school visits that are being outlawed. Once every four years a team is allowed to do some sort of European exhibition trip but I don't know all the rules surrounding it. Mostly it's basketball teams that do this, as we did in 2013. I don't recall a football team doing it before though. That's got to cost quite a bit.
" ... or even Bo "I can't win a Bowl" Schembechler)"; I corrected the statement for you.

Definitely not on the hot seat anytime soon. He's doing a great job and providing huge value.
But the antics may catch up with him, both on-field and off.

michigan athletic supporters and the media are wanting the success that michigan had under bo schembechler. Of course, they were overrated annually back then too.
College Admins value two things wrt "Sports" on their campuses (and they are usually, but not always, highly-correlated):
1 - $$$$$$$$......sell tickets
2 - Give me a reason (winning) to puff out my chest and get a (all too infrequent) hard-on
3 - "Don't be a complete douchebag".....comes way down the list - and not at all if Items 1 and 2 are taken care of.
Jimmah - thus far - has managed "Item 1".
If he doesn't soon come through on "Item 2", "Item 1" will soon fall off as well (fans are very "short-term-memory" beasts......and fickle)
And "Item 3" will gain more attention.
I doubt it happens this year....but no coach has a REAL long leash anymore.

Anybody else remember Michigan fans ripping Penn State back in 2004 that it had been a whole 10 years since Penn State had won the conference?
I do!
I do!
