We were after Paterno's ass in 2000 because after delivering 37 years of winning teams, he tripped up and had a 5/6 year then a 4/7 one. Obviously, I want Penn State to win in three weeks but Michigan is a class act, and I wish Lloyd Carr success in the future. You guys are not on the Titanic with Lloyd...you've just hit a wave and gotten your feet wet. They'll dry out. "Hail to the Victors" (when you're not meeting the Nittany Lions!!!) We love your alumni in Happy Valley....some of the best. I’m glad to see that we Nittany Lions are not the only fans to abandon a winning coach after a shaky start.

What about Chris Peterson from Boise St.? The only thing is that he just signed a five-year contract extension in February. Maybe we can get him the way we got John Beilein.<br/><br/>We should have gone after Tom O'Brien at the end of the 2007 year. Too bad he went to NC State.<br/><br/>It would be nice to have Terry Moore. I like those suggestions. There are a lot of good OC's out there that we could get. I got it!!

If we could get Bill Cowher, then wow, but probably not gonna happen. We're not offering Nick Saban figures.<br/><br/>Jon Gruden sounds good, I don't like the idea of Bellotti that much. He's ok.<br/><br/>What about Bill McCartney? From Detroit and the House of Bo. Errr...he's too controversial. I really like Paul Johnson but I don't know if his coaching style is right for Michigan. Does anyone here think that he would be able to coach good smash-mouth football here? Those are some great suggestions. If we could get Bill Cowher, then wow, but probably not gonna happen.

We know that when second division schools play 1-A schools, they plan extra and get up for them, but there is NO excuse good enough for this type of loss for a ranked team. NONE!!!
