he's got to go. Wink Martindale was a terrible hire as well for DC. Yeah let's hire a washed up NFL DC who got fired in disgrace at his last two NFL jobs because he couldn't keep his dick in his pants and had the highest blitz rate of any DC in the NFL and his defenses gave up more big plays than just about any in the league.
 
Said it before and I'll say it again....the wrong Co-Ordinator got the job at Michigan. Jesse Minter should've been the guy. Jeem knew what he was doing taking Jesse Minter with him to the NFL and leaving Sharon behind.

Look at Michigan's last two DC's before Wink. Mike McDonald is an NFL head coach and Jesse Minter has been arguably the best DC in the NFL the last season and a half and is going to be an NFL head coach in 2026.

Warde Manuel fucked up. Should've threw a whole bag at Jesse Minter and offered him the HC job.
While I completely agree with all of this, Minter is a smart dude and he attached himself to a winner. Let’s be real, Manual is not a winner. If I was in Minter’s shoes, it wouldn’t have mattered what was thrown at me, I would have stuck with Harbaugh. Media and haters planted a certain picture about Harbaugh, but if you had a pulse and paid attention to reality, you can see he’s an elite coach. He may be a very odd dude, but he certainly understands discipline and football.

Moore is just not a leader. At least not of an entire program, not at this stage in his career.  Whomever is making decisions about talent, gameplan, which I would assume is Moore, needs to go. When couch coaches see things better than the staff and they’re proven right over and over, it’s a problem. The offensive play calling is the true definition of insanity.

Ok one more and I’m done being angry and going to go enjoy a family Sunday. Down 17. Score a touchdown and… go for 2? I’m sending my 9 year old up to that coaching room to teach them basic math because that math ain’t mathing.

another example of coaching malpractice and Sharon not knowing talent....anybody with a set of eye balls can see Cole Sullivan is 10x the player Jimmy Rolder is. Rolder is a SR, Cole Sullivan is a RS Fr and he's already a significantly better LB'er. No different than continually trotting out Semaj as a starting WR when he's got a true frosh named Andrew Marsh who is 100x the WR as Semaj.

MDOT, all of what you’ve said and posted is spot on. Check my pulse that is reality, but it is. Moore should call Franklin and thank him.

This was baffling to me as well. Michigan was down by 11 after the TD so:
  • An almost automatic XP makes it 10 which is a FG, a TD, and an XP to tie.
  • A 2pt conversion makes it 9 which is STILL two scores only if you fail you need to make the next one to tie.
Why?

There was a point late in Cooper'stenure when he made a similar error of basic math on that decision. It annoyed me then as I'm sure it does you now.

This was a road game for Michigan against a distant quality opponent. It came out as expected. There is way too much drama on this thread. Michigan simply is not a great team this year. But, it is also not a bad team.

This guy came on my radar during the Tigers collapse, which he was likable as a Guardians fan and his takes were good and his one meltdown was funny. He’s a pretty spot on, seemingly just average guy which is probably why he’s likable.

MSU scored 31 on them in a game that started at 11 PM ET.  Thought MSU might actually have a pulse back then

nah. USC was favored by 2.5, which means Vegas expected the outcome to be by a FG. USC won by 18 points. Michigan only scored 13 points- against a Lincoln Riley defense that gave up 34 to Illinois and 31 to Michigan State. The most concerning thing about the game was Wink Martindale's front 7 got out-muscled and out-physicaled at the line of scrimmage....by a Lincoln Riley coached team.

Sharon is 1-5 on the road as the head coach, his one road win was by 3 points and his 5 losses on the road are by an average of 11.6 points- basically 12 points per game- basically losing by 2 TD's per game whenever he goes on the road. this is absolutely pathetic and should be alarming to everyone. tells me he has no clue how to get his team prepared and ready for road trips.

Time to sound the fire alarm. Sharon Moore has to go.
