..this is not remotely a I told you so thing. I have seen over the years the majority of people on here post they would take 0-11 and a win over osu and it would a successful season.
Nobody could predict today but the optimistic people at least said there was a punchers chance.
It wasn't pretty but it never is. We are NOT and will NEVER be a finesse team!
4 straight wins over our rivals. We did it the same way we won the NC....pound the rock and play D.
The blame game has been in overdrive since the UT game. None was deserved!
We lost 23 contributors ...19 to the NFL. Lost our HC who took the whole
defensive staff with him...Lost our QB who waited to long for us to get a QB out of the portal. Lost SIX olinemen...not 5 but SIX!
The losses and injuries to the secondary totalled 9 players missing at least 2 games with 7 either leaving or missing more than 5 games.
The oline had 4 guys miss at least 2 games 3 missed 3 or more.
We were stuck with 3 QBs who gave it their all. Warren is a WALK ON...Orji tried his best and the heart Jack Tuttke showed was amazing! His arm was not ready but he gave it a go. He suffered his 5th concussion and God bless him he did the SMART thing and retired. People called all of this "EXCUSES"
People bashed the shit out of this team. Especially the QBs. Did people honestly think they were sabotaging this team on purpose?
Then of course there was/is the constant coach bashing! People saying "I'll give Sherrone 1 more year" like they somehow have a say isln Sherrones job security. Wink was MASTERFUL today! Yet people have called for his head as well!
The thing is..m being critical of coaches is one thing. Wanting them fired every week in and week out is another.
It is NOBODYs place on here to decide who gets hired and fired...NOBODY'S
Questioning play calling is the eternal right of any football fan. It's funny how people won't complain or bash after this game yet attacked this team and staff the whole damn season.
I love a great debate. Yes I know everything is not always butterfly's and puppy dogs but the flip side is even worse.
I have been a Michigan fan for over 60 years! I have questioned the coaches and even coaching hires but I've NEVER called for someone to be fired. That's not my place. That falls at the feet of the AD!
Do I believe changes need to be made? ABSOLUTELY. If and when those changes come I will support them whether I approve or not.
We all pay to be on here. Yes, it gives people the right to voice their opinions. I just choose to stay positive and do my best to bring a strong civil argument to support my optimism....not just "fire the coach". I happen to love a great debate. I've had my ass handed to me on here by a lot of people. I actually welcome people who know how to attack my argument without making it personal and attacking me!
I love this site and look at it as my barstool and for the most part as people on here as my friends that I can debate and talk shit to. I look forward to the future on here.
I have no idea what the future holds for Michigan football but it sure looks bright. Sherrone brought us into NIL in a huge way. He landed the NUMBER 1 RECRUIT IN THE COUNTRY! There was lots of bitching about NIL and recruiting also and Sherrone plus McGee both said hold my beer!
Today was going to happen because it needed to happen. Give credit to the oline which was much maligned the whole season. Wink for calling a GREAT game and the entire team for a GREAT effort! Let's hope this helps us close some recruits.
Much love and respect to Josh and his staff as well as all fans on here. Lets just try and keep it civil in the future when things don't go the way we think they should.
GO BLUE
