Three comments: There are more dream jobs than there are dream coaches. Way more. Despite the doom and gloom of the minions, LSU is much closer to contending for championships than Michigan. Les is in his sixties and starting over in a low talent, high-pressure situation at this point in his career makes little sense. LSU has buttered Les' bread and he's sitting on a block of ice. Les will make a lot more effective future bigshot in the Michigan Alumni Association if he is NOT the coach who returned, lost more games and got fired.
Michigan Fans Thankful Program No Longer Relevant Enough To Be Humiliated On National Stage ——— ANN ARBOR, MI—Following yesterday’s firing of head coach Brady Hoke, fans of the University of Michigan football team confirmed Wednesday that they are simply thankful the program is no longer relevant enough to be completely humiliated on a national stage. “It’s actually a relief to know that our years of total mediocrity basically preclude us from being crushed in front of millions of people during some sort of big-time game,” said 26-year-old Joseph Reilly, one of thousands of Michigan fans who admitted to taking some comfort in the program’s insignificance, as it virtually ensures they will not have to be thoroughly embarrassed during an ABC or ESPN primetime broadcast in the near future. “At this point, we’re so far removed from the national picture that we’re almost immune to being on the receiving end of a huge blowout during a major bowl game. Honestly, I’m just glad we’re so much of an afterthought that we’re at least free to disgrace ourselves in relative obscurity.” Reached for comment, members of the Michigan athletic department told reporters they are equally thankful the program’s fall from prominence has drastically lessened the pressure to get the next coaching hire right.
Strong might be a good coach but he is not a politician. I predict his head will be on the chopping block before he rights the ship at UT
I often talk about problems off the field, this is Strongs biggest problems. He has had his on the field problems. Just keep this between us. Thanks.
