Schiano/Michigan
- Thread starter Rocco
- Start date
My god if no Miles/Harbaugh open the trunk of money to Arkansas HC Bret Bilema. If Michigan actually hire Schiano they deserve more mediocrity. Ohio State fans must be laughing at the prospect of Michigan led by Greg Schiano. I would feel for the legs of the opposing OL that Michigan plays.

I agree. I hate Michigan that much. I hate OSU too but hating Michigan would be so much more fun if Shady were their coach. I doubt he'd last 2 years, too abrasive. This is the Midwest we're talking about. He's gotta recruit Ohio. He will actually have to play someone unlike at Rutgers.

We already lose that 99/100 times. There is another team, who I won't mention by name, that would be hurt much more by this than us.

They are just lost right now. Tried an offensive guy, it failed miserably (mostly because of his preferred defense, but the offense had some lumps too). Tried a defensive guy who was closer to a Michigan man, coached there for 7 years previously. Failed miserably.
Can't wait to see what they do from here. They should offer Urban Meyer $25M per year. They can afford it.

the way you beat urban meyer is to block punts. even though ohio state will never need to punt

What's going to suck is when the guys at TCU and Phil Montgomery are off the market next year. They'll be running places like Tulsa and be even that more expensive than if we hired them when they were coordinators.

I'm in the very small minority around here but i think Schiano may work at Michigan. Call me crazy but he did turn around that historically inept program to a middle of the road program that leveraged itself into a big 10 invite.
I think Michigan can do alot worse than Schiano. With the recruit base he will inherit there, I wouldn't completely discount it. I mean i'd take him over what we have right now.

Schiano is waste product. Just say no, Michigan.
Ohio State, your turf is on potential notice for being deemed "unsafe".

HCGS never won a BE title in a watered down miami/vatech less league. Towards the end of his career he was pulling in top 40 nation recruiting classes. He had numerous NFL draft picks on his teams. All of that medicrity WITHOUT playing Nebraska, Wisconsin, PSU, OSU, ND annually. Schiano would be a terrible hire for Michigan.

Agreed--but that's what would make it so funny!
I bet Howard and Norfolk State fans will disagree with this.
If he went there and since Michigan no longer plays ND, don't you think Schiano will manipulate the OOC schedule like he did at Rutgers? I know he will/would.
Starting in 2016 Big Ten teams can't schedule FCS/D1-AA teams Schiano would have to face big boy schedules each year. If Michigan is this stupid to hire this guy Ohio State's bigger test from MI will be Michigan State each year.
Sure. He's got Howard on speed dial.
Plus Florida Atlantic.

I wish we would do a little of the OOC manipulating until we have consistent 8+ win seasons.

Except at RU, he upped the recruiting from dismal to decent. That, combined with limited challenges in scheduling, resulted in talent winning more games despite his actual coaching limitations. Without reviewing their recent recruiting classes, I'd venture that UM is already pulling in higher rated players and even if he improves it, they won't be significantly different from their peers - they are pretty much all upper echelon already. To make a difference, he will have to use that talent better than other teams and we saw how he did in a league designed to have evenly-matched teams.
