People are in the bargaining stage. Whitt isn't "him". He's not a silver hair version of "him". He's lost his fastball and is NEVER going to be elite here. He didn't forget how to coach. We will win some games, but the idea that he's gonna take us anywhere as long as he's here is (m)

...nothing but hopeium.

He's a placeholder until the new AD, whomever he or she is, decides they want "their guy".

21 through 23 makes this so much easier to take than it otherwise would be.

    - Are you super mad because K-College lost to Trine 58-12? There should be room for differing opinions* - By wolvalum September 27, 2026 at 12:25:33 AM
      - stop watching is the response to a 66 year old getting 8 million to lose to Ferrentz. Just STFU. You guys can blow smoke tmr, but let this horrific loss stink and don't tone police for a night* - By Daytripper September 27, 2026 at 12:28:55 AM
        
        Dude, you've been at this for hours. I've posted about how disappointed I am with this game and this regime. I'm also trying to move forward to the next thing. Maybe I should just rage* - By wolvalum September 27, 2026 at 12:31:59 AM
        
        Certain set of Michigan fans just want to enjoy singing and touching the banner. You know the big Michigan Man who didn't? Jim Fucking Harbaugh. And now we have a guy stealing money, and some people want to sing and hug - By Daytripper September 27, 2026 at 12:30:48 AM
        
        Jim has a 10-year show-cause, sweetie. I'd love to go back to those years and continue them, full stop (m) - By wolvalum September 27, 2026 at 12:38:45 AM

  - I wanted Fisch, arguably a worse hire to be sure. I think Whitt was a great hire considering our options, but that doesn't make him elite or anything close to that here * - By Spirit September 26, 2026 at 11:46:13 PM

    - No one elite was coming here in late December, in the midst of the playoffs* - By wolvalum September 26, 2026 at 11:48:08 PM
      - Agree 100%, but that fact doesn't make Whitt good, let alone elite * - By Spirit September 26, 2026 at 11:51:52 PM
        
        Yes, 100%. But what exactly were we/ are we supposed to do about that? We're stuck in the thick of this and 3-1. We have an AD on the way out (thank goodness), a new president incoming (who knows what she thinks about athletics) (m) - By wolvalum September 27, 2026 at 12:05:06 AM
- Yes, all true. And yet I remember that day in December when the Sherrone saga was melting down. We should be better than this, but we were in a really bad spot then. I dunno, man, hard to envision any scenario where this season wasn't a struggle with that context* - By wolvalum September 26, 2026 at 11:42:28 PM
- i just think that people thinking basically any coach was going to make 2026 michigan a contender are the ones on hopium. - By DetUMICH September 26, 2026 at 11:39:20 PM
  - Like I said, we'll win some games. Whitt isn't an idiot, but he ain't taking us to the Playoffs * - By Spirit September 26, 2026 at 11:43:25 PM
    - i bet that whitt will get us to the playoffs.* - By DetUMICH September 26, 2026 at 11:50:40 PM
  - It’s not a great start. We needed a miracle to beat a shit MAC team! A Stone Age offense and completely undisciplined players. This isn’t about being a contender, it’s all how about HOW we’ve looked and we do not look well-coached.* - By Eric September 26, 2026 at 11:42:14 PM
