Michigan's Offense

In Nuss's defense, he doesn't have a lot to work with up there. That said, Kiffin seems to be better at getting the ball to our best players and so far has been much more productive.

There's quite a few Michigan fans where I live (in SC near the Ohio border), and they've all given up on Hoke. I think he's gone after this year.

cutting us a little short VA

we're actually at 587.5 yards per game :smile: (and 604 yards past 3 games)

With the way my 49ers are looking this season coupled with the fact that Harbaugh doesn't have an extension yet, I wouldn't be surprised if Hoke is out and Harbaugh is in.

I agree that Hoke will be gone at the end of the season. If Harbaugh left the NFL, not sure he will, he would be a home run hire for Michigan, especially being a Michigan Man. Also Les Miles might be ready to leave the pressure cooker SEC and finish his career at Michigan where he only has one legitimate game a year.

If hoke is out, why not zoidberg!?

IDK, if Harbaugh is smart he might hold on to the 49ers job until CNS decides to retire. Then he can get a promotion as HC of the Tide.

He isn't leaving San Francisco unless they fire him.

I'm wondering what part of South Carolina is close to the Ohio border.

Yeah, Hoke's seat has to be as hot as Muschamp's. They are not a good football team right now.

Given the number of people here from Ohio and the high percentage of cars with Ohio tags around here, even the central part of the state is overrun and feels like a border area. I didn't see as many people from Tennessee when I lived in Huntsville. Hilton Head might as well be in Ohio.

Back on topic, Harbaugh would be an excellent hire, but I don't see that happening.

I beg to differ. If for some wacky reason Harbaugh isn't extended by the Niners, he will be grabbed by another team in the NFL. Why take a step back? It's not like he's gotten to the big time and stunk it up.

OK, I'll take the bait. Where is South Carolina near the Ohio border?

Nuss is a good OC coach, but he didn't get the ball to his playmaker all the time. He had made many questionable calls at time and I heard that Coach Saban didn't like the way offense was being run last year, especially in OKC game. I think Nuss is struggling with less talent, and I saw one or two game recently and I thought to myself " Why is he calling this play against this defense? I see mismatch there, why is he not taking advantage of that" so, if Hoke is gone, Nuss could find a home real fast. He wont have issue.. He could end up staying at Michgain after hoke leaves. Who knows? If hoke leaves, Look for Les to leave for Mich.. and LSU job goes to one of his OC/DC coordinator

And we get to hate him all over again.

I agree if mama calls again, he may just take it this time.

Hoke is going to get fired - they are beginning to boo at games, and Michigan fans don't boo. His only chance is to beat us this year - that will buy him another season. I don't see it happening, but you never know. For his replacement, Harbaugh would be a dream come true for their fan base. I don't see it happening unless he is fired and cannot land another NFL gig - doubtful on both fronts, IMO.

Miles would be smart to leave LSU for Michigan, and they would love to have him. Saban now owns Louisiana in recruiting - he gets as many of their top recruits as Miles does. And Alabama has locked down Mobile and the FL panhandle. With Strong rebuilding Texas, the Sooners back on top and aTm playing so well, Miles can forget about that region for recruits. LSU is going to continue a downward spiral for the next few years. Best to get out before some of the stink rubs off on him.

Don't know about that. It may be mutual. Reports are that his coaching style is beginning to grate on NFL egos. A lot of smoke concerning thoughts of returning to the college game.

Not to knock on Nuss but he has no excuses for how that Michigan offense has performed. Alabama they are not, but they have some talent. They scored pretty well last season, defense is what lost them most games. Scoring zero against ND and ten against Utah is bad.

But yeah, Hoke is out. Sure thing. This might finally be the year they can get Les.
