Then some bad seasons like this one.

if LSU wins the bowl game, this "bad season" would be better than all but one of Michigan's last 7 seasons. Go look up Michigan's records since the 70s. Bo Schembechler, Gary Moeller, and Lloyd Carr had almost 4 decades of having similar records to what Les Miles has had at LSU.

Michigan would LOVE to go back to winning 8 games during their "bad seasons". Bo, Moeller, Carr were all good coaches, but not great. But, they won at a very high volume (just like Miles). Bo was the coach for 21 years. Zero national championships. Moeller coached 5 seasons, zero national championships. Lloyd Carr coached for 13 seasons, one national championship. So, for 39 seasons of winning at a very high level, they had one national championship to show for it.

Michigan would die to go back to winning at least 8 games a year, winning their division occassionally, and even winning their conference.

Les Miles is literally the perfect coach for them in every way. His accomplishments and style almost exactly match the history of modern Michigan football.
