2021 Michigan Off-Season Thread

[FearlessF]

The Buffalo Bulls needed to move quick to find a head football coach following Lance Leipold’s departure to become the new head coach at Kansas last month. And Buffalo announced the hiring of Michigan co-defensive coordinator Maurice Linguist as its next head coach, Friday evening.

Things could be better right now for sure but it's got it's positives.Beautiful state,lot of natural resources and no Hurricanes.Government could use a good working over though

Please lol. I'm from there. That state is a dying, miserable, ugly shithole.

LMAO. This is seriously just getting comical. The ace recruiter they had on staff- there a few months and he's already gone. LOL. Michigan football featuring Jim Harbaugh is a literal sideshow circus freak shit show. Might as well just blow the entire thing up and start all over.

We spent a nice vacation in upper MI and the UP.  Traverse City etc.  It was summer of course.

My first job offer was in Midland.  I was in school in NC and the interview was in February.  Their head of recruiting told me they rarely interviewed folks from the south for obvious reasons.  I don't know why they interviewed me.

It was a two day interview with two divisions.

That's basically Canada. And the winters, fall, and spring suck more up there than they do in the southern parts of the state. You got 3 months of it being nice- other 9 months are god awful.

Consider yourself lucky you didn't get the job. Michigan sucks.

Northern Michigan is perhaps the most underrated part of the country...to visit.

I worked for a company with their HQ up there, and went up once in September, which was amazing.  It was like summer...but no tourists.  I went up for a training in early November, my god, the wind off the lake was brutal.  Half the stores were seasonal.  The restaurants and bars were mostly closed.  I was up there for a week, and literally the best place to eat was an Applebee's a half hour away.

My brother was stationed in the UP for about 6 years.He was an ATC at K.I. Sawyer AFB that has since been decommisioned and turned over for  civil use.He made lots of money plowing in the winter with his 4x4.He said the worst part was the swarms of mosquitoes in the summer.He'd never heard of a mosquito bite as they seemed to come at you all at once.He liked the area though - beautiful country

Holy shit. That sounds brutal. I would kill myself.

Michigan has hired Steve Clinkscale from Kentucky to replace Linquist.

Things like this happen.  It was a no brainer for Linguist.  And Michigan has arguably replaced him with an even better recruiter and DB coach.

I got an offer, it was very lucrative for the area, I just couldn't see it.  My other offers were in Cincy and Delaware (duPont).  That was a tougher choice.

The oil companies were starting interviews but I simply didn't have time for them so I cut it off.  I was pulling some long hours back in the day.  There was a thing I could only use at night and it would run 2-3 hours per sample depending.  I'd sleep in a chair in the lab and it would DING when it finished and wake me up.  Usually.

So, Michigan ...  I mentioned my physical therapist was a big UM fan and wanted them to fire JH NOW!!!! and hopes they have a sad season to make that so.

How do fans in general think?  Do many hope for a disaster?

[FearlessF]

I'm hoping for a michigan disaster in Lincoln on October 9th.

very possibly the date of the annual Sharkwater Party

yes, you all are invited

All of my UM family wants him gone, but only one is actively rooting for a bad season for it to happen.  He was pissed that the UM-OSU game got cancelled last year, because he thought another blowout may have done it.
