Michigan gets to welcome USC to the Big Ten and the Big House on Saturday afternoon. Luckily for everyone but Michigan, the weather and kickoff time should make the Trojans feel right at home. The Trojans are ranked #11 and coming into Ann Arbor 2-0 with an improved defense. Their Heisman winning QB is playing for Chicago Bears but it looks like Lincoln Riley has not missed a beat with his high flying offense. The defending National Champions will have their hands full on Saturday afternoon on both sides of the ball.
Dear Coach,
I'm concerned that your team has not performed well in many aspects of the game over the past 3 weeks. Now, its not fair of us to compare team 144 to 145 but we do have an expectation of good, tough, quality, football. We also have an expectation from a coaching staff that will make adjustments and design plays/systems to best match their roster.
Coach, I watch a lot of college football and see teams with much less talent move the ball more efficiently then the Wolverines. The power run game does not fit Team 145 right now. Edwards is not a power runner and when you run him straight into the line on first down, you are wasting a down and distance. Your offense line is struggling in run blocking and pass pro. This alone should be crystal clear to you.
On Monday of this week you decide to announce Alex Orji your starting QB as Davis Warren has been turning the ball over. We all can see that Alex is a talented runner and a tremendous athlete. We also know his weakness on passing the football. Please coach, if you line him up in the power run game with out any nuance of different play calls or formations, you will cost Michigan this game, this season, and this young man's confidence.
With all that said, I believe you know this. I believe you and your staff know football and know how to game plan against USC. I believe you have run sets that we haven't seen to get Edwards to the edge and Mullins up the middle. I believe you have plays where Orji has easy throws to gain confidence to Michigan's TE's and RB's. (Stop throwing that WR screen please!). I believe you have special option running sets to get Orji in open space. I believe there are RB screens in the play book. I believe you know Edwards is your best WR. I believe making Alex Orji the starting QB is the right decision. Now prove it to us.
I need Wink to wake up and confuse the other team, not his own players. He needs to be careful with the blitz, pressure with the front 4, run some smart zone coverages, and stop the run. I need Michigan LB's to step up and play solid football. They have struggled but I started to see better play last week and lets hope that continues 2X this week. If Michigan is going to win this game they must win this match-up.
Coach, every week this is a test for you and your staff. Every mistake you make (fair or not) and adjustment you don't, people (like the jerk that writes this blog) will question, if you are ready for this job. We understand Michigan is not going to win every game this season but fans expect your team to compete at a highest level every Saturday Which means clean football without penalties, turnovers, and mental mistakes. That the coaches are putting the players in positions to make plays and a structure that is built for their strengths. Michigan will have to play their best football of the season to win on Saturday. It's time to prove it.
PS: I will give you a $1 if you run one traditional screen pass to Edwards. Please just try it once!
Michigan 13 USC 31

I am sorry to say this, but Sherrone is a swing and a miss (Hoke style).
"do not blame me", blame my quarterback for 3 interceptions. Next whole walnut you have, save it for Sherrone's brain transplant. Why throw you quarterback publicly under the bus. When you could have but your 2 or 3 brain-cells to work by saying your sticking with your quarterback, and do switch to Orgi, to confuse USC. But no, you had to telegraph your punches to save face. Sherrone you are a natural born loser, and I am calling you out on it. Your intelligence level is the same as the guy that shot himself in leg in the movie "8 mile"... you will find yourself like Micheal spinks as a janitor unplugging toilets with your teeth.
31-13 seems reasonable... I probably would be happy with that.
Sherrone is Michigan's Luke Fickel. A temporary fill in for a year until Warde hires a real head coach. Would I like a young up and comer? Of course, but there are not too many Dan Campbells out there. I prefer proven winners. When the Back to Work Pistons needed to get over the hump, Bill Davidson hired veteran coach Larry Brown. Same with the Tigers in 84 and Sparky, and the Wings in 97 with Scotty Bowman. I don't care if we hire St Nick and his army of bagmen (pretty sure that's how he got all those number one recruiting classes), or if we get Uncle Urban. Tell him to keep his dick in his pants and do what he does best- coach. Either two will bring us another Natty in less than 4 years.
Ouch....Snotty Dawg...are a mean man.....Give some credit to Moore he doesn't have a QB....what do you want him to do?
Brady getting Uncle Urban...would be a great fit....I have been saying that for years....all I keep getting is backlash from you guys...I don't know if you ever gave me hard time about it...but others did.....I say we give Moore this year and next. Lets see what he does....if has a bad record next year....take a chance Michigan... It cannot get any worse
Meyer and Saban are the best coaches on the planet that aren't coaching. Meyer would have to refrain from recruiting low lifes like Aaron Hernandez, and hiring assistant coaches that beat their wives. Let Saban be Saban and win one more before he gets too old.
I dont think Warde has the balls to even call Meyer or Saban. Some said Jimmy was Warde's boss. I can only imagine Warde trying to control Urbs or Saban. 😆
Miller Moss is going to have jail sex against that Michigan defense. Gonna get ugly.
Should have been, 1 comment out of 10 worth a damn...
Why are you writing here buddy? I told you not to write anything. Please go to school. Get a degree and come back
MM right, how can we blame Sherrone. After all its not like there's the ability to go out and get players from other schools. You know like a transfer portal!
I knew you'd be back! Good to hear from you. I actually thought the same thing. That they didn't use to interim tag as to try to save the recruiting class. Interim coaches have the tendency to make recruits go elsewhere.
I know Saban didn't like NIL and the TP, Urban probably wouldn't either. And to be fair, Urban ran OSU and Saban ran Bama. Big time football programs, the HC is king!
Number 20 for Michigan is the worst corner bag in the country
Back
All props to Sherrone! Just beat a Top 10 team!! Took USC's surfboards and cracked them over their heads w them!
