I'd have to add one thing about DeBoer's system, the lack of a power running game and physicality on offense is a major issue as far as I'm concerned. I've heard it repeated that someone like Justice Haynes just wasn't a good fit because he was a power back (1,473 yards, 6.5 YPC and 19 TDs in his career).

Then for instance you point out Pittman,, kind of the gold standard for offensive line coaches isn't a fit for the same basic reason. He'd want to maul opponents and DeBoer does finesse. I'm not saying it HAS To be Pittman, but this built in weakness (in both senses) in DeBoer's system really does need to be addressed because it's the Achilles heel.

I know some people less familiar with DeBoer tend to just be like yeah well it's the personnel here, that are the cause for the ineffective run game. It's just an ineffective run game, period, it's a systemic flaw. For instance, his much lauded 2023 Washington team ran for 1.7 against Michigan and was completely, physically dominated. It just took playing a physical team to expose the flaw.

So, to me he shouldn't be looking for a fit for his system, he should be looking for a fix... if he can bring in someone that can install a running game and some physicality into his offense, then it becomes as great as people thought it was.

Nobody seems too concerned about the Bama coaches that have left so far. Who do ya think we will target for a QB coach?

Nope. Not even a little bit so far. I'd like a good OL coach and (maybe) a co-OC coordinator (since I know Grubb isn't going anywhere) for Christmas.

I think losing Sheridan as a QB coach is actually a pretty big loss. Sheridan is a good football mind and very well respected within the industry. He also seems to have done a pretty good job with Ty, as he has improved a ton under his tutelage. I suspect he's a future head coach. However, DeBoer has a good hiring track record, so I'm sure he'll get someone solid to replace him.

Losing Shep sucks too, but at the very least, we replaced his recruiting ability with Nix. Here's to hoping Nix can replace him just as well in the development department.

We need someone who will teach these guys to karate chop the DB hands that love to hold them.

I know a 4 time National Champion winning coach (at that time) changing his entire offensive philosophy in 2014. He ended up with 7 titles.

Let’s not act like this offense is broken. Guys need physicality and a little more foot speed to make the running game work. Some communication and experience will go a long way as well.

Matt Weiss - an assistant under Harbaugh at Michigan from 2021 until January of 2023. In January of 2023 Weiss was terminated for illegal computer access issues. What was he doing? Well this -

nypost.com

Ex-Michigan assistant coach caught on security footage minutes before allegedly hacking explicit student files

Former Michigan co-offensive coordinator Matt Weiss was fired in February 2023.

So Connor Stalions was illegally spying/filming opponents. Sherrone Moore creeping on female students, hitting on OnlyFans models and having and affair with a staffer. What a wonderful band of merry men Jim Harbaugh had at Michigan. And this is just the football program. This is not mentioning scandals in basketball, hockey and gymnastics.

All under the watchful eye of Warde Manuel, the AD.

So once again, why would any coach want the Michigan head coaching job? The place is a toxic waste dump.

Not that it matters, but I think you got someone else's quote mixed up with me. Thats not my post. LOL!
 
I'm with those who think CKD didn't get to where he is by being stupid.

He's too smart NOT to see the need to adjust whatever needs changing to run the ball better.

Think about the postive steps we've seen this year compared to last year. I fully expect it'll be different/better next year!

I believe the combination of D. Hill, Deare and freshman Crowell next year will become a weapon!

I mean, you don't get that kind of winning percentage as a head coach without making adjustments. Got to do that at all levels of any sport.
