Wolverine Wednesday: It Doesn't Seem Like Its Getting Any Better

Since today is Veterans Day, I want to thank all the BHB readers that served our country.  My father and my grandfather served, its the greatest of all honors and Thank You for your service! 




Kyle Whittingham was hired to bring stability and quiet excellence to Ann Arbor.  The Wolverine program has seen great heights in recent times but that came with an assortment of off the field issues.  Michigan fired Sherrone Moore very late in the off season coaching search cycle and there weren't many options for the Wolverines to choose from.  

Kyle won the off season but very little after that.  His offense is the worst in the country and he looks completely disconnected from his team and staff during game days.  Most of the time his mic on his headset is pointed towards the sky.   He looks like a coaching zombie roaming the sidelines.  

Kyle fired his OC on Sunday and now the news continues to get worse as Nate Marshall has been suspended from the team.  Is Kyle now losing the locker room?  There is also some concern with Jim Harding and the Sprague situation.  

Michigan on Saturday faces a hot Oregon team that also went through issues this season, but has seemingly come out the other side.  Many Big 10 teams struggle when making such a long trip West and even though Michigan has a solid defense, they are not really expected to score against the Ducks and currently a 11.5 dog. 

So the road filled with gold and roses into retirement continues to look more like a long walk on a short bridge.  The game has based him bye and Utah knew it and Michigan will pay millions to come to that same conclusion. 

Thank goodness basketball season is here!  They take on Marquette at Crisler at 7:00.

  • So Sparty is having a good week. Wolverines go down on Saturday and Duke on Tuesday. 
  • Rutgers who can't afford any type of buyout will continue on with Greg Schiano next season.  Lucky them!

Bob, can you elaborate a little more about the Harding and Sprague situation. What's going on there?

Sorry guys, but hiring Kyle Whittingham in today's college football environment is a lot like hiring a VCR repairman. There's no integrity in the sport anymore. Its a sewer. I'm not saying you let anything go...no criminal activity, but you have to get down and dirty in today's college football. this fantasy that KW was going to restore integrity to the program was an effing joke! It's a mercenary mentality and if the mercs don't think its in their best interest, they'll walk away and find their next payday!
