If brown wasn’t here they end up with 3 wins maybe 4
The offense is so inept by the time the 4th quarter hits the defense is gassed hard.
Just look at last year, if he gets an offense that isn’t one of the worst in college football he holds teams down. Look at his Boston college years. The guy is a magician.
Well close only counts in horseshoes and hand-grenades. Even looking back to his Boston College days where they pulled off a couple of upsets, but they did also struggle predominately against the elite teams. U of M views themselves as an elite program and wants to beat actual elite programs. I know there are lots of people piling on the offense, but 31 points to tOSU and 42 to Penn State weren't all that great. Again MSU came out of the gates scoring and was actually slowed down by the weather in my opinion.
U of M beat one winning team this year.... Purdue, I mean by all means keep buying in. I don't get, but then again I am probably not supposed to as I don't really want them to be good again so I just don't see what everyone else is seeing. I think Don Brown is a very good D-coordinator, but like a ton of things going on at U of M right now I am not sure he is being viewed without wishful thinking. This group has run out of time for what they are paying, they cannot get drubbed by ND, MSU, PSU and tOSU next year or they will all feel the heat Brown included.
U of M's defense was also gassed against more physical opponents because they bring in comparative talent and size. U of M struggled to make the big timely plays a lot of this year. The big third down conversion or huge three and out right when they need it. They just weren't a very good situational football team which is also surprising given the experience and price tag of their coaches.
But when your marquee win is Purdue well I think it is time somebody pays the piper around there. U of M fans want the OC gone, but I think it is interesting they aren't more outraged with everyone.If they couldn't beat the rest of the schedule for more than 3 or 4 wins than a lot of guys should be in big trouble around there.
That was basically my reaction to FSU targeting MSU guys was honestly a bunch of those guys should have lost their job after last season anyway.
