No, my argument is that, in three years, he has hired two coordinators, changed the system three times at his own behest and Michigan’s defense has become progressively worse each season. If my head coach has to be forced to clear out his staff and to not meddle on one side of the ball, the coach is the problem. He hired all the assistants that undermined two coordinators and the system is his defensive system that hasn’t worked.

Saying that he changed the system is a gross over-simplification of what has gone on. He hired Schafer because he thought he had someone who could do what Casteel had done for him at WVU, with the system that his staff knew. When it was obvious there were personality conflicts, he removed the DC, thinking that his guys were the right guys as they had been so successful with him at WVU. His mistake with GERG, aside from hiring him, was forcing the 3-3-5 on him. What we have since learned is that Casteel covered up a lot of deficiencies in the staff. Luckily, RR was smart enough to get rid of Hopson after the last season, and there was some improvement in the LB play.

The defense under GERG hasn’t really changed. They still run out of the base 3-3-5. What you see during the game are slight variations, for the most part. When there are 4 lineman, 80% of the time it is a LB dropping down and then Kovacs moves from a safety and plays a hybrid role.

So, unless he can get Casteel or someone else who knows the 3-3-5, he needs to just give up any control over the staff on that side of the ball. He, like many HCs, isn’t terribly comfortable with both sides of the ball. When he was at WVU, he had someone he completely trusted to handle that work. It is rather obvious he has been searching for that same thing and simply hasn’t found it.

Good work completely ignoring the end of my first point.

If the main part of your argument that RR should be fired is that he hired GERG and the defense sucks, shouldn’t you be a fan of GERG getting the boot and RR being forced to hire a DC who gets full control? That seems to make a lot more sense than firing RR when he finally has that offense moving towards world-destroying levels. It is also a better idea than throwing a ton of money at a guy who threw the program under the bus so he could get more media attention at Stanford.

SG & CJ, you should be on TMZ Live right now.

I am so pissed I was omitted from this group.

Why because his wife made him miserable?

I’M DISAPPOINTED IN YOU!

(puts on semi sexist hat)

He’s the older man in the relationship. He needs to stop pouting and being a little bitch. So the younger girl that you left Alanis for isn’t everything she cracked up to be? BOO FUCKING HOO. Be a man and take the upper hand. Don’t go around sobbing and saying “oh my wife makes my life miserable”. Stop being a pansy. Or, at least admit that you were over her and you started to give it to Blake Lively.

It shows how bad a spot they are in that they had to play all those guys. I agree about Lakes guys but there coach seemed upset about Middleton and Kennedy’s kid (Banner?) but he never really met Kennedy – both his parents went to Wazzu.

*Furiously nods in approval*

I’m very disappointed in RR. For shame.

I too wasn’t aware that a fine JD product existed.

the green label is alright, i prefer gentleman jack and single barrell though.

in the summer i do like JD on the rocks while reading a good book though.

I know Alanis got married and is prego

wait, Alanis isn’t a dude?

Husker – I don’t think we win, but it’ll be closer than the first meeting. When this staff was at USC they always did extremely well preparing for bowl games, and I think UW definitely has more motivation, but the problem is the team still has shit for depth and a lot of the talent is young. I’ll be interested to see if the emergence of the run game late in the season was a real thing or an artifact of playing UCLA and WSU.

Swill that isn’t allowed in my house.

Jack Single Barrell is pretty solid.
