The salary is kind of a weird thing for the fanbase to be upset about. 

If they let him go and rehired Hoke because he could produce similar results at a fraction of the cost, I don't think that would be seen as a preferable scenario by Maize and Blue nation.

That's like saying a CEO's salary is a weird thing for shareholders to be upset about if the CEO is the 2nd highest paid in the country and the company is continually under-performing.

A fan would be more comparable to a customer/consumer than a shareholder.

Not for some. Many fans put a lot of money toward their favorite programs. Glad to no longer be one of those.

Are the tickets going to be cheaper? Or will the cost remain the same, regardless of the salary of the HC?

Tickets are going to be cheaper almost everywhere soon, as people start to not go.

If so, that would happen irrespective of the coach's salary.

I don't understand complaining about the high salary either

unless the buyout clause is too much to remove the coach such as Ferentz a few seasons ago, but that has seemed to work itself out

Yeah, I don't fault the frustration, just trying to figure out the angle here.

Sometimes on message boards we like to put our "AD hat" on, and analyze things from that perspective, I suppose.

I think it's just an easy target if the coach is highly paid

Huskers haven't had this issue until Frost

Got back home late last night. My thoughts:


  • For the first time, I found it delightful to have a wedding-football conflict
  • Redzone turnovers are known to have a negative effect
  • Taylor will be a NY finalist
  • Especially with Dwumfour injured, Michigan is severely undersized at tackle for Don Brown's 4-3. The 2017 and 2018 classes included Hudson, Paea, and Solomon at DT. Two of those guys left and one was an OL anyway. There's your problem. I'm thinking for program health it's more crucial than ever to NOT play Mazi and Hinton this year. Going forward, their redshirts seem essential.
  • UW has quietly assembled a fascinating defensive front. People are calling it a 2-4-5, and I think that's right. Superficially, it resembles a 4-3, but the inside guys like Loudermilk are SDE sized, and the  outside guys are LB sized (< 240lbs). That makes their success remarkable, because they looked around the country, said "nah, you don't need that many true DL up front" and it's actually working. I wonder if that'll catch on. I'm betting it will.
  • Shea Patterson has always had trouble with zone. But in this game, he struggled to read the field at all. Even when he had time. Here, Nico Collins beats his man onto the ground and gets 30-yards downfield before Shea throws it. There is no safety there. Shea still can't see him:

  • eeewwwww


Another:
  • Chryst found 4th down and 3. The 2018 game looked a lot more impressive for Michigan (38-13) than it should have. It was still a one-score game at the half. And despite Taylor averaging close to 7 YPC, UW was punting on questionable 4th downs, both early in the game and late. It sort of felt like that was a form of self-elimination. Not this year. Chryst took all those risks, and each was the correct one. I wonder whether he learned more from the 2018 game or from watching Army-Michigan during the idle week. Both communicate the same thing about UW needing to go for it on 4th.
