2024 Michigan Offseason Thread

[MrNubbz]

don't kid yourself. MSU only got rid of him because they got caught with their pants down- pun intended- after he got exposed as the truly DOG SHIT football coach he is- and it was an easy out to get rid of him on the cheap and not have to pony up on that INSANELY retarded $100 million guaranteed contract they gave him for winning one game vs Michigan in East Lansing.

Do all of you ann arbor astro fans(pun intended) faff the facts this badly? Mel beat Booger in '20 and '21 seasons losing in '22 after the Field Brawl and the previous tunnel fight. Thus being 2-1 vs Michigan

Will Muschamp claimed inheriting an Urban program was the cause of all his failures

Muschamp didn't do much to repair the program, but Urban did leave a dumpster fire at Florida.

Despite what Urbz said about his health, I'll always believe he left because he missed badly on a number of recruits and he knew it.  Which is why after he left, his health magically got better and he coached at Ohio State with no apparent problems.  He left Florida with a roster of athletically gifted players.....who didn't excel at football.  They just weren't anything near the caliber of his NC winning teams.  I also think after two years of meeting Saban's Alabama in the SECCG, winning the first meeting and losing the second, he realized what was happening in the SEC and wanted out of that.  He wasn't going to be the king with Saban there.  It sure looked that way on his face during that SECCG.  He looked like he wanted to be anywhere but there.  Retired afterwards "for health reasons," and then the team had a "spirited practice," so he un-retired and came back for a disastrous 2010 season, at which point he knew beyond the shadow of a doubt his roster was junk and decided he had health problems again.  

Muschamp wasn't the answer, but he didn't create the problem either.

comparing apples to oranges. The Florida program that Muschamp was taking over was an 8-5 sinking ship thin on talent and full of ghetto jailbirds that ran the asylum, which is why Urbz faked his heart attack to get out of dodge. The Ohio State program that 3rd base took over was locked and loaded coming off a 13-1 season and returning a shitload of NFL talent.

Brother, they gave Tugger that stupid insane contract because of his comeback win at home in '21. And Tugger can thank Kenneth Walker III for going ape-shit in the 2nd half and bringing them back from a 16 point deficit to win the game. Without that one win and without Kenneth Walker III single-handedly putting that entire team on his back in '21 Tugger is what he's always been....a dog shit football coach.

Stick to facts Tugger was 2-1 straight up vs Booger both were pos.No buts or ifs,One a crank yanker the other slept with recruits and cheated

You guys are hilarious.  Michigan should be pretty good next year and compete for the Big Ten title with Moore running the program.

Agreed. Michigan should be min of 9-3 next year and fighting for a playoff spot so long as they hire Sherrone Moore and don't bleed out in the portal like Bama.

That defense is going to be downright nasty. There are big question marks on the offense however. The OL will need to be rebuilt and have to find a QB. Whether that's Alex Orji or the true frosh Jadyn Davis or they get a portal guy in the spring window....someone has to seize that job. I have utmost faith in Sherrone Moore to rebuild the OL, he's one of the best OL coaches there is in the sport. They're all set at RB. All set at TE. Have to develop WR's a bit and hit the portal there in the spring for depth as well imo.

Wouldn't of gotten very far without Ryan Day pulling Justin Fields

that's very true as well. Ohio State was loaded in '19, only thing missing was the QB. should've played LSU for the Natty that year, but Day choked it vs Clemson up 16 points.

And Ryan Day is 0 for his last 3, including an 0-1 record against the future HC. Zero B1G championships. All since he said he was going to "hang 100" on them. With the most exorbitant amount of resources and cash in college football. No buts or ifs, just facts.

[HailHailMSP]

Michigan's challenge will be if they can develop an offense that can generate 20-28 points a game, control the clock and limit turnovers. Offensive line development and finding a big wide receiver target will play into that. The defense should be just fine. Maybe not quite as deep this coming season, but their front end starters will be elite. 

Texas, Oregon, and Ohio will all be top 5ish teams. If they can steal one of those, they will be in position for a playoff bid. If not, it means running the table and hoping the B1G gets 4 - 5 invites to the dance. That would have happened this year with a 1 12 team playoff (Washington, Oregon, Michigan, Ohio, Penn State), albeit the conference wasn't together yet.

Smashing and booger is still 3-5 vs tOSU with one chicken out and sanctions incoming.And what has M won vs tOSU 5 games since 2001,no buts or ifs about it .And of course ONE NC every 75 yrs so we'll be seeing Halley's comet before that happens again

 With the most exorbitant amount of resources and cash in college football. No buts or ifs, just facts.

A lot of folks glossing over that this year... and somehow 2024 brought an even larger pile of cash to an insane level. Harbaugh leaving with a championship trophy raised above his head will certainly get me through a lot of years ahead... but Ryan Day failing to win it all this coming year would really add some laughter and smiles as no one in college football will have more resources nor talent this season. He'll be out of excuses.

yeah, I doubt those sanctions are coming. wish in one hand nubz and shit in the other, see what comes first. 

Michigan has the same amount of Natty's since 1969 as Ohio State does. Two. Congrats on your program being tied with it's All-Time daddy Nubbz.

Pressure is on Ryan Day like never before. THE GAME is in Columbus and Michigan loses it's HC, QB, and bunch of starters to the NFL + OSU's NIL programs shelled out $13 mil to get a bunch of guys on the team that could've gone to the NFL to return for 1 more year + they poached some big-time pick ups in the portal like Caleb Downs and Quinshon Judkins. 

It really is an if not now, then when moment for Day. The deck is stacked in his favor like never before. He doesn't pull it off this year, that rabid fan base is going to be out for blood. They are out of patience with him, they've gone all-in to win in '24. If he doesn't beat Michigan he's toast. Only way he could save his job at that point is to win a Natty, but there would still be tons of fans wanting his head on a spike even then.
