I still think that Franklin should be given the chance to right the ship in 2021.  PSU has at least been above-average every other season he's been there.  They seem to be having some off-the-field issues, but they completely pale in comparison to what happened roughly a decade ago (unless there's more dirt out there that we're not privy to yet).


I agree - every coach gets to have their bad year and Franklin has yet to have his first shoe drop. Plus, COVID 2020 is the perfect timing for a rotten season. And as for the off field stuff, a black coach advising his black players to avoid giving statements to the police is the politically correct move this year.

An AD would have to be nuts to make any coaching changes based on the results of this season.

Michigan kick returner Giles Jackson will be out due to an injury. OTs Mayfield and Hayes have been practicing and it will be a game day decision for them.  The injury status and/or availability of C Vastardis, LB McGrone, S Hawkins, and DE Paye are unknown.  One of the CBs hinted that McNamara will be the starter tomorrow.

Go Blue! Ok

yeah, I'm kind of with you. I doubt Harbaugh is fired. I'm 99.99% sure he'll be given 2021 to right the ship- if he wants it. Maybe he wants back in the NFL? Who knows.

What I do know is they can't leave him hanging on a contract. His contract expires after 2021. If they don't have him locked up for at least a 3-4 year extension it will kill recruiting in 2022 and beyond. No 5* or high 4* kids are going to come if they know Harbaugh is a lame duck. So in a way the AD at Michigan has to either shit or get off the Jim Harbaugh pot.

is Giles out? I thought that was just unconfirmed rumor at this point. 

If you want to know why Michigan has struggled moving the ball on the ground- a lot of it was the lack of a real passing game- but they've also been missing 3 starters on a newly rebuilt OL for the past 3 games. 4 All of the guys replacing Mayfield, Hayes, and Vastardis are freshman or rs frosh. Bad year to be playing young guys with basically no off-season due to the COVID crisis. 

At the same time Harbaugh really screwed the pooch by not starting McNamara day one. It's clear as day he's light years better at playing QB than Milton. And also- this play-calling really sucks and they platoon these RB's with no rhyme or reason. No one can get into a real rhythm. They are playing 4 different guys at RB- almost at random. Here's Corum one play- here's Charbonnet two plays- here's Evans one play- here's Haskins three plays- makes no gd sense. They need to pick one- and my pick would be Haskins- he seems to have the best vision and is the most physical. He runs hard every single time he has the ball and he's looking to get north/south- there's no tip-toe or trying to be Barry Sanders to his game. He just hits the hole and runs hard. The other guys are more physically gifted, have more speed- but they don't run as hard or have the same vision.
