"I think if you put the block 'M' on his golf shirt, he'd become one of the top coaches in college football."

Comments in the section -
-"That block M stands for Mess"
- "Keep my coach far away from that degenerate hellscape"
-"Why would Kenny want that demotion?"
- "Get this weird shit Newberg off my feed. Go drool over someone else."
-"Losers looking for clicks"
-"Shut that program down a couple years and bleach it"

According to sources Manual still has his job???  Are they afraid of what Warde can reveal if he gets pissed off? Does he know where more bodies are or have the Party Pictures?

I hope not.  If so, who is going to hire the next football coach?  A bunch of very political Reagents several of which don't give a rat's ass about athletics?  Or some firm they hire to do a search?  Michigan's president doesn't have a clue about football.  At least Manuel knows football and played at Michigan.

What? I don't know, maybe everyone should give a rats ass about getting a good leader of men in place. How Manuel has handled everything the last 4-5 years is disgusting. This topic has been buzzing apparently for a while. Manuel knew going into the termination he had mental issues possibly and that's how Manuel handled the situation? And don't tell me that's an out there statement considering how Sherrone actually reacted..If the reagents are part of the problem then burn the whole thing down.. seriously.. it's embarrassing at this point.

almost everything about CFB has become embarrissing at this point

He's also overseen a lot of scandals/shitshows.

He's part of the problem.

Gymnastic coach abuser
Team doctor abuser
Juwan Howard
Sign stealing
Current fiasco

And anything else we don't know about.

He needs to go.

A total of seven staffers under Jim Harbaugh at the University of Michigan have been arrested since he was hired in 2015.
The individuals arrested were:

• Sherrone Moore: Arrested in December 2025 in connection to an alleged assault, hours after being fired for an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.
• Denard Robinson: Arrested for DUI (Driving Under the Influence). He also received a three-year show-cause penalty from the NCAA for his role in an unrelated sign-stealing scandal.
• Steve Clinkscale: Arrested for DUI.
• Matt Weiss: Fired and later indicted on 14 counts of unauthorized access to computers and 10 counts of aggravated identity theft for hacking into the accounts of thousands of college athletes to find intimate images. He pleaded not guilty.
• Greg Scruggs: Arrested for DUI.
• Fergus Connolly: Arrested for DUI, punching police officers, and biting.
• Jim Minick: Arrested for DUI.

Now do all the arrests of people under Urban Meyer and let me know when OSU stops celebrating him.

 I was listening to Cleveland sports radio, and an M* Fan called in and they discussed all of what could be the problem. It is if those responsible for Manual's employment maybe knew about some of inapropriate conduct or measures taken to win games and looked the other way. IF that is the case Manual has them over a barrel is prepared to take everyone down with him.And at that point one couldn't blame him as they're guilty by omission for failing to act when there was a legal or moral duty to do so

I get it and generally agree. Five of the seven listed by @Brutus Buckeye were DUI. I'm not arguing in favor of drunk driving but I also don't think that @Brutus Buckeye , @SuperMario , or @medinabuckeye1 getting a DUI would reflect badly on our employers*. People make dumb decisions and if you employ enough people you absolutely WILL end up with one getting a DUI. 

Conduct WITHIN the context of employment is different. 

*I put the asterisk because I would see it as a poor reflection on the employer if it got REALLY bad. Ie, if @SuperMario has 12 employees and 10 of them have DUIs in the last two years, that would look bad to the employer.
