I have to believe, as I said about JH back in 2020, that Whit did not forget how to coach

Posted on September 11, 2026 at 05:00:05 PM by Rich

I guess another question is how much does he want to coach, and how good of a coach can he be at Michigan even in the best of circumstances (Utah did have a losing record 2 years ago).

I guess we shall see.

Because I'm a sicko I just watched most of the fourth quarter of the 1980 Michigan Northwestern game - By Paul September 11, 2026 at 03:05:11 PM
- I watched a bit of it too. I was surprised how good the camera work was.... - By Rich September 11, 2026 at 04:31:23 PM
  - Contin, what does it say when I am enjoying rewatching a terrible game from 46 years ago more than I enjoyed watching the game against WMU? - By Rich September 11, 2026 at 04:49:15 PM

- was it the 1979 OSU game where Bo started Hewlett? I think so....... - By jonpc September 11, 2026 at 03:38:08 PM
  - Yes but I believe Hewlett only played the first series and then sprained his ankle or something and Wangler played the rest of the game (Rich will confirm)* - By Paul September 11, 2026 at 03:44:52 PM
    - I thought it was one series but I think he got 1-2 more. I wasn't aware of an injury but that could have been the reason. Recall with Hewlett..... - By Rich September 11, 2026 at 04:38:37 PM
      - Just checked. Hewlett threw 4 passes vs OSU and had 9 carries (inc sacks/TFL). So he played 2-3 series... - By Rich September 11, 2026 at 04:58:32 PM
        
        LOL funny how memory works because I had the same one. I also remember him coming up gimpy after an option run and I think that's why he was pulled - By Paul September 11, 2026 at 05:00:14 PM
      - Wangler did play against Northwestern but not much* - By Paul September 11, 2026 at 04:43:43 PM
    - How many times have the coaches gone through all fall practice, maybe even into the season, and chosen the wrong QB? Of course I said Carr was a lunatic starting Griese, so what do I know?* - By jjwalker September 11, 2026 at 03:51:25 PM
