Until the osu game Don Brown was worshiped on every blog, message board, etc. After the osu game people were calling for his replacement! <br /><br />We'll be fine.

It probably would be mitigated somewhat if JH would says something. His silence leads to speculation and assumptions that may or may not be right.

Need...Voice of reason, you need to post more often. Need good insight on here.<br /><br />After thinking this over today. Most of us over reacted. Coach Mattison is 70 and about to retire. He did great for us and we thank him for that. Good luck to coach Mattison. Before coach Harbaugh hired AL Washington no one really knew him. Low level assistant, good recruiter yes but is this the end of the world, hell no. We are Michigan, we will get over this and be better. Coach Harbaugh will most certainly find better coaches.. <br /><br />Coaches want to be part of coach Harbaugh coaching team. Yes he is stubborn but he can coach. His coaching branches are all over the places now. Not only is coach Harbaugh putting kids in the NFL he is also developing coaches. <br /><br />We are Michigan and he will be just fine! Go Blue! <br /><br /><br /><br />EzmoBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10784326135176732015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068822035923402169.post-8018353283434294142019-01-09T00:33:54.802-05:002019-01-09T00:33:54.802-05:00I apologize for posting, especially since last yea...I apologize for posting, especially since last year I promised that last March would be my very last post. Nevertheless, after reading all of the comments about how badly Michigan is doing and that something terrible must be going on inside Schembechler Hall or else the staff wouldn't be leaving. Well, I am compelled to go back on my promise and make a statement.<br /><br />First, I think that Greg Mattison should go if his heart is not here at Michigan. He's left before and he coached for our rivals and so we shouldn't be surprised. Al Washington and Mattison were known as good recruiters. The media lauded them so that osu picked up on it. Keep in mind that Al Washington was already coaching right under their noses at Cincinnati and no one at osu noticed him until he came here. They don't need him to develop players, they needed to get him away from Michigan. <br /><br />Yes, it's a business and by virtue of the fact that Mattison went to osu instead of let's say Louisville or some other place says a lot. This is a cut throat business just look around you. Remember just about a year ago alabama went after Chris Partridge and when they couldn't get him they had Dan Enos to circumvent his "No Complete Contract" to not go to another SEC school by signing with Michigan (without coaching a second) and then turn right around and resign and go sign with alabama. The ethos of the coaching employment hiring practices leaves a lot to be desired. We hired Don Brown right from under Boston College and we didn't think twice about it. We hired Coach John Beilein from WVU and still didn't think twice. C'est la vie.<br /><br />Nevertheless, we shouldn't get upset when staff comes and goes because there is little to no loyalty anyway. Even Bo Schembechler had about 15 of his assistants go on to become head coaches at other places. That doesn't take into account those that didn't become head coaches. Even today, mighty alabama has lost assistants, eg, Jeremy Pruitt to Tennessee, Kirby Smart to Georgia, Lane Kiffin to Florida International, Michael Locksley to Maryland, and Brian Daboll to the NFL. I am probably missing some others but my point is that when you look at the staff of other major successful programs, they lose staff. <br /><br />The current defending Super bowl champion Eagles lost their OC and QB coaches after the super bowl. My point being is that, that is how it works in sports. You would be (IMO) mistaken to blame coach Harbaugh for his staff moving on to other jobs. All head coaches likely have a list of candidates that they like "when" the inevitable happens. We think that because we're Michigan that no one should want to leave us but the truth is that coaches use schools like Michigan to help them climb up their professional ladder. Even Don Brown has said that he's keeping his eyes open. So when good coaches leave you find and hire other good coaches to replace them...period!<br /><br /><br />Michigan has only one coach (from the Schembechler era) that has been with the program under Bo for the entire 21 years and that was Jerry Hanlon. In addition to being a great coach, he also indicated that this is a great institution and that he was apart of something bigger than himself. When you find a great coach that has that sort of insight then you know you have something special.

We dominated MSU as well...just not by additionally by the score.<br /><br />...and the world is nonetheless still coming to the end.<br /><br />C'mon, people, stop your pathological complaining. We're getting there. Most of you had us 8-5 "at best" with Harbaugh's "archaic offense" after the ND game....so, I'm not interested in your "expert analysis".<br /><br />Tommertoffohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02691777366887514525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068822035923402169.post-31595071891634352062019-01-08T20:06:49.508-05:002019-01-08T20:06:49.508-05:00Kind of relevant, interesting info.

He was an excellent recruiter in Michigan and Ohio. And the not developing talent is off base. Then Michigan loses another exellent young recruiter in Al Washington to OSU. He was the state of Ohio recruiter. He had built a great relationship with Zac Harrison, but Michigan getting blown out by OSU changed his mind. It really smells bad, both coaches to your biggest rival. Spin it anyway you want, not a good day for Harbaugh. People should be a little freaked out. The coaching turnover at Michigan is not good.chipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14332012919751791804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068822035923402169.post-66660594395582280432019-01-08T11:27:22.359-05:002019-01-08T11:27:22.359-05:00Bob AL Washington signed with OSU as a LB coach.
