I had no personal feelings positive or negative about him before this came out but I never believed he was the right guy for a job this big.
Sherrone Fired
- Thread starter Capaholic
- Start date
Okay I hear you, I was not super keen on it as I thought they should go with someone who had HC'ing experience, but i am objectively telling you that given the circumstances at UM after JH left, he had done a pretty good job on the coaching front at least.
Just look at their roster and schedule the last two seasons and I believe he had the team performing at or higher than realistic expectations.
the data does not lie.
BTW there are a ton of ppl in the know who think Cristobal was a terrible hire at Oregon and Miami, also.

I don't think anyones first head coaching job should be something so prestigious as Michigan unless the guy is such an outstanding coordinator that he is that much in demand. Since you brought up Cristobal he was not a good hire and that team wins despite him being an idiot.

Don't want to take this too much off track but I'm sure plenty of you wonder why I have such harsh criticisms of coaches and in pro sports GMs. Its this simple these guys are making a crazy amount of money and with that comes criticism when someone is incompetent.
This is obviously a totally different situation where Sherrone revealed himself to be a disgusting person but I never considered him to be a good coach anyway.

Tuscaloosa ain't that bad. It's not where I would choose to live, but I have plenty of friends there who love it

There's a lot of stereotypes about the state that are not true, though some of them are. I've lived in the state for 41 of my 44 years, so I'm partial to it. I've lived in both north Alabama and on the coast and parts in between. It's a good place

Is there anyone other than @Brewers888 who says the place they live is a shithole?
This is all so crazy.
I was worried to death about the Bama game because I respect their program, their coaches, their players, so much.
They are a terrific team. Favored for a reason in Norman.
This distraction of KD's people supposedly talking to the UM people is exactly what the program does Not need right now as they prep for my Sooners.
This is just wild.

Huntsville was my favorite part as a kid, one of my favorite family memories. Other than driving through that I-10 sliver through Mobile on the drives from NOLA to Panama City that's all I remember and I know we went to Birmingham. Before I could appreciate the history. Buddy's golf crew has done the RTJ trail trip a couple times and absolutely loves it.
this was exactly my thought. 2 years from now and JH staff. they are very tight.

Very unusual Moore is still in custody. He has to know some good lawyers and he has the money to retain one. In a normal assault case a lawyer can have bond set and the have the guy back on the street by this time
I haven't seen any explanation of why he is still in custody, but there has to be some unusual circumstances that are not present in most cases.

I said this early on when I watched his clock management skills last season. If you don’t know what to do in the final minute of a game and you’re not able to put your team in the best position to win, you’re not a head coach who should be at Michigan.
In all honesty, he wasn’t the guy Michigan normally hires. Maybe him filling in for Harbaugh and winning a title favored him with the players and administration.

No arraignment today sure seems like something might need a fixer involved. Assault investigation is all we really know at this point and going to be in custody for over 24 hours? That's one way to stoke the rumor mill.

KD to Michigan:
Anybody that thinks this is impossible, doesn't know what goes on in a coaches life....
My old man was a long time coach (HS and college) - me too briefly.
>> death threats - family pets poisoned- attempted kidnapping of my brother and I - beer cans in yard all the time - mother harassed and threatened. And that was just high school....(Texas)
His family is probably putting up with tons of BS, off that 9-4. He's not gonna look like a whiner, and make it public - but lose to OU? - life in Tuscaloosa will be hell I would think.
Think about it - he's working his ass off - only to come home and hear how his kids are getting crap at school, the wife too..... he gets a great offer to leave? Life in the B10, with only ONE team to beat, maybe 2 - would be tempting.

@bookieassassin yesterday i thought zero zero zero chance and our friend @B.A.R. saw that and said there is more than a zero chance.
i have come around on this bigly today. i see the fire under the smoke.
but think how this is impacting Bama players prepping to play in Norman at night next Friday.
it is like it is a self-fulfilling prophecy about to happen.

I think the distraction for Bama (vs OU) is literally zero - no player thinks he leaves Bama. If Bama wins, the chance he leaves is very remote probably - but if they lose?
I think Bama wins - he stays put.
added pressure no?
he certainly does not leave right away if they win next friday in Norman (which i truly hope they do not) however that does not mean the two sides are not talking.
that is what agents and attorneys are for !

There is nothing on the Alabama end to think he has any interest in leaving. Pete Thamel reported the same. I guess we’ll see. Seems like a pretty messy situation in Ann Arbor. And while there are 100s of keyboard warriors and talk radio callers who don’t like KDB, the vast majority of fans and the administration are happy with the direction and trajectory of the program
I would not put any stock in anything right now.
If he comes out and says he is interested in leaving, it will become even messier.
the best thing he can do is let UM talk to his people.
UM has very good talent on the team starting with 5 star recruit QB underwood who we all know, who will be a Soph next year.
Right now, he may get the offramp he *may* be looking for.
i don't have a dog in this fight. but his name keeps getting tied to high profile jobs now.
first penn state now michigan.
where there is this much smoke there might be a little fire underneath.

I mean, Saban was going to Texas for like 8 years in a row. Penn St did reach out. So did/will Michigan. But De Boer isn't listening, and it's certainly not impacting the preparation for Oklahoma. Chris Low (who is as connected to the SEC and Alabama in particular) has also reported that DeBoer isn't interested in leaving. For some reason, there's just this idea that DeBoer is looking to get out, even though his words and actions say the exact opposite. And if DeBoer is scared of the expectations and pressure at Alabama, why would Michigan even want him?
He also has a 5 star QB (#2 overall behind BU) that will be a RS freshman next year. And I'd wager the WR talent is ahead at Alabama.

That means it was worse than you/we think and Michigan had money.

There are many things I don't approve of tax payer money being used for but keeping those women employed is a win for everyone
Wonder how things might have been different in history if that didn't happen
I knew all of those 8 years that Saban was not leaving Bama.
There are many people connected to the UM program who think is going. It's done.
There are many people connected to the Bama program (such as yourself) who are certain he is staying.
Both sides seem quite certain they are right.
One of the sides is going to have egg all over the face. Yolk running down their cheeks !!

No.
But i do enjoy being right.
It is interesting the Michiganders I know who are so certain that KD is going there.
And now the Bammer folks who are so sure he is staying.
Anything is possible at this point.
Someone will be wrong.
Some OM fans were dead wrong about Lane going to LSU.
Someone will be right and someone will be wrong.
It is life.
But, it is fun to be right.
My best guess? I don't know but if forced I would bet he stays at Bama.
I was very certain Lane was going to LSU all the way back in late October. By Halloween, I was certain.

Being wrong is a learning experience
Being right is self-fulfilling for a minute until you're wrong and either learn or blame
Wrong doesn't suck

I dont know has much influence Saban would have in the final say, but there's no way in hell he'd sign off on Kiffin.

What are you talking about? Spiro nailed the story from the start. As did Buckeye Scoop.
Sam “Scam” Webb (Michigan insider) was asked about the Moore issues a few days after THE GAME and said there was nothing to the rumors.
A bunch of “leaders and best” have egg on their faces. But, it’s not Justin Spiro.
