MICHIGAN'S NEXT COACH: NOT FERENTZ

by Orson on Nov 27, 2007 6:12 PM EST

Come down off that ledge, Michigan Man/Woman: it's not Ferentz, according to the Wolverine, Rivals.com's Michigan site. The source is "really, really good and you'll have to trust this because we're all flying blind in this thing, you know, because it's a coaching search, and those really just come down to, what, like 3 people talking in a room or something, and like, big drug deals have more witnesses than the negotiations involved in most hires, like right?"

Yeah, like right. On to the Hat and Brian Kelly for Michigan, who doesn't really need to be in a hurry with this one. In fact, for those sweating it out, it's going to be a sauna of a coaching search. Both Cincinnati and LSU are headed to bowl games, and the hire could, in theory at least, stretch into the bowl season if Michigan's going to be as deliberate and decorous about this thing as we think they'll be.

No Michigan fan would be caught wearing a scarlet tie.

Perhaps that’s why he’s on the ledge.

Didn’t LLLLLoyd say he was announcing his retirement early in order to help out the recruiting process by getting a new guy in there?

IF thats the case, Ohio State is undefeated in the first 3 mins of the MNC vs Florida then…. if we are gonna pick our stopping and starting points of varying degrees of defeat….everyones a winner

Kelly only has one year of big-school experience, and that’s at the not-so-big school of Cincinnati. In addition to that, he stepped inherited a very healthy situation from Dantonio. Finally, his team is laden with seniors.

NO ONE SHOULD BE THINKING ABOUT KELLY FOR SEVERAL YEARS.

I still cannot get over Lester’s comments about being the Champion of the Regular Season Regulation Time Period [that’s a mouthful].

We maybe should give out little crystal ball trophies for the champion of the regular season quarters, halves, etc. Then maybe everyone will feel better about themselves.

Why not?!?!? You promised!!!! You raised our hopes!!
You gave us wonderful Politburo analogies!!! You caused images of Yuri Andropov floating gloriously before our eyes. And now this?!?!

NO Cocktails for yor, comrade. Indeed, some other comrades from the KGB’s 5th Chief Directorate will be coming to your hou…err…apartment to clean out the vodka cabinet and perhaps take you to Dzerzhinsky Squre for some questioning regarding numerous incidents of public drunkenness. Betraying the State and the Party in this way WILL have consequences.
