(1) Don't forget to come back and make the same comment at the end of the season.
(2) Also: How's that James Franklin trajectory looking without Joe Moorehead?
1) Oh, I know. I’ve been reading your posts about how great Michigan is going to finish for 10 or 15 years now. One of these years you have to be right… right? I mean it has got to be mathematically impossible to be wrong that much, right?

2) We lost nine starters on defense and the two guys everybody was afraid of on offense after last year. This year was always going to be a down year. In the past five years recruiting has been trending dramatically upwards. I think it’s a little too soon to be assuming Franklin’s career is over.

That’s ridiculous, Scott Paterno would not be defending James Franklin on a message board, though I may also be short, fat, and dim witted.

(JK, I’m not that short or fat.)

I'm not judging Franklin on this year. I'm judging him on his performance in every PSU year except the Moorehead years (and an extra dose of negativity for his in-game confusion/poor decision making).

Unless he can either (a) always hire CFB's next Moorehead on his next try or (b) hire a coach *that* hot who never wants to leave, he can not retire from PSU. He'll be fired. Because he isn't good enough for this level. And this latest OC is no Moorehead. Good for James for hiring Moorehead to fool his boss this long and get paid. And since he's so likable, I really mean it. James is a version of Brady Hoke who actually hired the right OC when his job depended on it.

Less bold of a prediction than you think: Franklin is fired for poor performance between 2020 and 2022 -- for a tenure as long as Hoke's would have been if he'd made that one good hire one time and traded it for a conference championship.

Franklin is more organized and dynamic than Hoke. He is a very good coach when he surrounds himself with very good coaches. I think he stands alone and excelled in recruiting, player development, and motivating. But he needs to be propped up in game planning and in game decision making.

I see Moorhead and Don Brown similarly important to their programs. There aren’t a lot of secrets to their recipe but more often than not they develop players and a game plan that succeeds; leaving their head coach with piece of mind to not have to mettle on that side of the ball.

If your strength as a head coach is recruiting and motivation as opposed to Xs and Os, you can still be quite successful. But you do indeed have to have a sound staff in place.

Maybe we should wait for Harbaugh to finish better than third in the Big Ten East, let alone win the conference, before we start talking too much trash.
Franklin is 1-2 against Harbaugh, you do realize that, right? The two losses to Harbaugh weren't exactly close games either.

I believe 1-4 against Dantonio and 1-4 against Meyer.  Those numbers haven't gotten brought up a ton.  I think he's recruiting well enough to win, with the right guys around him.  Not sure he has that right now.  He's proven unafraid to make a staff move if needed though, so I'm also not closing the book.

Little bit of everything. 

Geo straightening us out on asteroids. New poster, coming out swingin'. Tallest midget contest between Hairball and Franklin. 

Good stuff.

October 16, 1993, 1st meeting, goal line stand seals Michigan win.  Note current Michigan WR DPJ's most distant relative Shonte Peoples.

#18 Michigan     21
