re: What's taking Michigan so long?

Les' age could either be viewed as a deterrent or strength.

He could be a nice short term bridge to stabilize the program, rights the ship for a few years, and then turns it over. He rides off into the sunset rebuilding his alma matter. But they may want a long term solution

with the pickings being slim if they want to fire Hoke it could be the best option

After cycling through 2 coaches in 7 years, does Michigan really want another short term solution?

I know everyone is obsessed with "home run" hires, but there are several good options in the lower tier BCS and non-P5 coaching ranks. Lloyd Carr was an assistant for Gary Moeller. Bo Schembechler was the head coach at Miami (OH). Tressel came from FCS. Dantonio had three lackluster years at Cincinnati. Guys like Saban and Urban Meyer are a rarity. Let's stop acting like the only way to hire a good coach is to pick one off from another good program.
