Jake Rudock - not much in the NFL
Ok and? Most guys don’t do much in the NFL. The average NFL career is 3 years. 

Does he become the schools single season passing yards record holder and even get a shot and get drafted by the NFL if not for Jedd Fisch? I doubt it. Captain Kirk was ready to throw him in the trash can at Iowa.

Jedd Fisch did A LOT more with the kid than Kirk and/or a couple NFL coaches

Idk man. Never impressed with any of Jeem’s OC/QB coaches other than Jedd Fisch. Jedd took Jake Rudock- an Iowa cast off that Kirk Ferentz didn’t want and turned him into the schools all-time single season passing yards record holder and an NFL draft pick. 

I actually completely agree with this. Who was remotely good? Drevno? Hamilton?  Gattis? I think Ben McDaniels is a pretty solid coach, but Harbaugh just never got out of the way with QB coaching/development and he had many years in that area, he was clearly a TERRIBLE judge of talent. Clearly starting the wrong qb when every observer with a pulse could see it was the wrong move. 

I think Harbaugh should be grateful he had Andrew Luck, Alex Smith & JJ in his life. He either pushes the right buttons with the right guys or he's just been truly blessed to be the coach of incredibly elite QB talent.

I can see Michigan's bad habits turning into a loss this weekend @ Washington. The Wolverines don't put away teams, and not only does Washington usually take advantage of Eastern teams playing in Seattle, but specifically Michigan has a well-documented history of losing road trips out West.

And given the last half of Washington's difficult schedule, the pressure will be on the Huskies to perform. Four ranked teams and @Iowa (9AM PST) with only UCLA a likely win.

I agree with MDot - run the ball, Michigan. And on defense don't let RB Coleman set the tempo.

Washington 24 Michigan 14

Last time Michigan went to Seattle, it was a defensive slug fest.  Washington won 23-18, despite not scoring an offensive point, and giving up a safety.  Michigan led 12-6 early 4th, kicking a FG to go up 9.  2 scores the way the offenses were going seemed insurmountable.  Instead Washington blocked the kick and returned it for a TD.  Then on Michigan's very next play John Navarre threw a pick 6.

I watched it at my buddy's house (I was a senior in HS), and there was a short rain storm during the game, and I had left the sun roof open on my dads car.  Awful ,awful afternoon

Well you got your defense and that narrative is interesting and comical - could use more games just like it

agreed. see the Vegas line.

Michigan has played really good in the first half and then freaking FUGLY in the second half three straight weeks now. Unfortunately starting to think this is more than a trend. Points to bad QB play (obviously), perhaps immature team, poor coaching & bad half-time adjustments imo.

Add that all ontop of cross country 5,000+ mile trip game in Seattle vs a hostile crowd and not loving Michigan chances.

I think it's just going to be an ugly slop fest and Washington will pull out a W in a whacky fashion. Maybe huge special teams or defensive score- think it'll just be an ugly slop fest that Michigan bungles on the road.

looking at that schedule, that is a good point. 

If Washington loses this game at home, the only game I think I'd give them a shot to win out the rest of those is probably UCLA. If they lose to Michigan at home they could be looking at 1-6 or 0-7 in this stretch. It's basically a gotta have it, must win for them.

No, I think it's primarily this. When the second half is always worse than the first, I believe that always points to coaching

Sherrone definitely had some HEAD scratching moments. 

The end of the first half- not subbing and forcing a clock run off or not calling a TO to at least bitch to the refs and try to get a booth review on a hail mary pass that wasn't a completion- ball hit the ground....

And then late in the 2nd half his clock management was atrocious. Orji kept snapping the ball with 10-20 seconds left and then they threw a pass on the last series instead of milk clock. Moore could've just milked clock and Minnesota wouldn't have had any time left to try and make a desperate comeback attempt. They left like an extra minute on the clock that shouldn't have been there.

rookie head coach mistakes imo.

Hah, most grad assistants know to milk the clock.  You and I do.

That's not a  rookie thing. 
It's plain stupid

haha.. i'm srue that was fun to explain to your dad.

Can we avoid John Navarre talk.. Most overrated Michigan QB and a guy who should never have been playing. How does a guy with Braylon, Avant and Breaston as his receiving corp and Chris Perry in the backfield have a completion percentage in the mid 50's yet still hold the record for most attempts in a season. In my book, he was the beginning of the downfall of Michigan football.
