2018 Michigan Season thread

Carr gets a bad rap because UM's annual 4-loss seasons started under him.

He had more than 3 losses only 3 times in an 11 year career.

A nice follow on our play-calling chat in the ND thread. Good stuff here from a UM guy (no idea where this should actually go).

Anyway, Carr was an early paradigm of a modern coach. They live in a world where expectations will either grow past you or have expanded a great deal before you arrive. People were mad at Carr. With the same attitude, they'd be mad at Bo or Gary. It was interesting that Carr lived in this narrow realm between Cooper and Tressel's success

Uhhhh, check again?  He lost 3+ games in 10 of 13 seasons.

Under Moeller, UM had consecutive 4-loss seasons.  While UM could claim being elite under Bo, Moeller's 4-loss seasons necessitated a change.  While Carr won a NC, UM's elite seasons were fewer and fewer.  Under Carr, I'd argue, UM lost the ability to claim being an elite program.

I think you should read my post again. If that doesn’t help, then read your original post.

My point stands.  Thanks for your contribution.

Well, your facts were wrong and so was your point. My contribution wouldn’t have been needed if your point was fair or accurate, which it was neither. But hey, the guy that points out wrong data is the bad guy right?

Don't we have a Michigan season thread?

Yes. Feel free to merge this to that if it's possible. I don't know how.

It is, and it's better than the old boards, you don't need both threads to be located on the same page, so you don't need the old "Bump for Merge"

I guess I need to learn how to drive this thing.

Watching this Wake Forest Boston College game with my Michigan fan cousins:

Me: This AJ Dillon guy is an old fashioned workhorse RB

Michigan Cousins: He was once committed to Michigan. We have fast backs but no power backs. We could sure use Dillon this season.

Michigan Cousins: He was once commuted to Michigan. We have fast backs but no power backs. We could sure use Dillon this season.

yeah, don't remind me.
Harbaugh tried to get him to switch to LB. He said no thanks, flipped to hometown school Boston College.
He'd be starting for sure at RB at Michigan. Dillon is FAR superior to Karan Higdon or Chris Evans. Chris Evans is a change of pace guy. Higdon honestly doesn't belong as a starter at this level. He'd be a really good 3rd string back though. Should've taken Dillon as a RB. He should be the starter right now with Evans the change up guy and Higdon the 3rd string. They really screwed the pooch on that one.

Above all else, if there's a chance he'll write your performance review, never get on MDot's bad side.
