Whittingham and Beck …
The question is … Name two ways …
to define clueless
Most folks are calling this the single worst college football game ever played.
The critics are calling it worse.
The Associated Press said, “In a matchup of two of the worst offenses in college football, points were precious.”
Prior to the game, USATODAY said about both teams, “The state of Michigan has had the worst collection of offensive play in college football this season.”
The State of Michigan’s 2 top premiere teams play each and neither one can score a touchdown.
But it was more than that.
I was at the Michigan-Ohio State game where Michigan managed 3 field goals and Art Schlichter scored two touchdowns for Earle Bruce to win the game.
Michigan only scored three Ali Haji-Sheikh field goals BUT NOT once did I question whether there was a game plan, a coaching plan and buy in by the team.
The guys now running one of the top college football programs in the nation are inept and TOTALLY CLUELESS of how to manage the expectations of their job which to come up with a game plan, a coaching plan and create buy in by the team.
I can’t speak for MSU nor would I try, I mean a team that has tried both John Smith and Jonathon Smith and come up empty.
Why can’t Michigan get a coach?
I myself cannot understand it.
Let’s be fair, this current Whittingham feller was called in late and expected to do great things and maybe the expectations were too high.
I mean really, when did someone take about bunch of random players and create a Championship team?
Beside last March when Dusty May won the NCAA basketball tournament … FOR MICHIGAN?
When asked after the game if it was time to panic about his offense, Whittingham said it “seems to be.“
This guy coached at a college for 34 years and had to know about Michigan even though he coached in the state of Utah and losing to MSU 15 to 6 on all field goals SEEMS TO BE the time to panic??
How can Michigan be so famous to such a smart school and be so dumb when it comes to hiring a football coach?
Seems like any number of coaches would be lined to take the job.
And maybe that’s the problem.
Maybe we don’t want anyone who wants the job.
If someone is dumb enough to want this job, they aren’t the feller Michigan wants.
A few observations going forward.
The first is to pay no attention to anything that Urban Myer says.
Myer said the this latest coach from Utah would be a great fit.
Myer does not like Michigan.
Hmmmmmmm.
The second observation is a reflection of Coach Bo Schembechler and a renewed appreciation for him and other coaches who have lasted a long time in the major leagues of college sports.
Somehow, they made it look easy and it isn’t.
Yes, the media attention is different but I know that Bo lived in a fairly simple house in the city of Ann Arbor and his phone number was listed in the phone book.
I myself had access to his office and dropped off books to be autographed tho I never got to meet the man.
Bo didn’t make millions of dollars but Michigan did.
And the man lasted for 20 years and average 9 to 10 wins a year.
And the level of back biting and such was the same.
It ain’t easy.
On the other hand, it ain’t rocket science and that feller Whittingham has been doing this for 30 years and is clueless.
I don’t get it.
I am still a Michigan alum.
Still a Michigan football fan.
But I still don’t get it.
