re: Michigan is garbage

We have 3 down years and we are garbage? It's amazing for a school thats such garbage, our coaching search, albeit a very disorganized one still managed to take the spotlight during not only the Sugar Bowl, but the National Championship game.
We may not have been winning national championships left and right, but the bottom line is for the past 40 years before 2008 we were winning. In 2006 we were one game away from playing in the national championship game. Won 8 Big 10 titles and 1 national championship. Not to mention that 40 year bowl streak. It's not being arrogant, or hanging onto history it's being proud of the accomplishments.
Trust me when I tell you, we are not happy with the way this thing was handled. Fans are fed up with Brandon, and didn't appreciate the way he was a dick during the entire process. Didn't like the swipes he took at the candidates, especially since two of them are so fond of Michigan. I also was not one of RR's biggest fans, but I didn't like the swipes he took at RR during the presser. I get that you guys don't like how Brandon acts like hes above everyone, but trust me, we don't like it either. I am offended that he thinks we are so stupid to believe that Hoke was the only candidate offered/ in the running. Fans wanted Harbaugh or Miles. We weren't listened to, theres nothing we can do about it. There is also nothing we can do about his attitude except hope that he decides sooner rather than later to begin that career in politics. We're not gonna take this out on Hoke though. It's not his fault how this thing was handled. The only thing we can do is stop buying tickets, donating money, etc. Most people love Michigan too much to do that though. Our donations give the players a chance to be a part of something special. Thats what it should be about rather than telling the good ole boys club to F off.

I think the OP used made a bad title for this thread. Most of us through the thread have praised the UM posters who have been on here as well as the Michigan program. The thread is directed more at Brandon who made some back handed comments about passing over Miles/Harbaugh for Hoke.
Like I said earlier, the Michigan posters who have been on here are nothing but class and I wish the best of luck to y'all as you move forward.

Don't put this LSU fan in that category....I've always liked UM and really hope Hoke turns it around.

As you should be....he looked very uncomfortable and out of place. Insulting the other candidates was just a horrible move on his part.

fwiw, most of that is because of who they were trying to get. if michigan wasn't going after a coach at a top 10 school, that wouldn't have been the case
