I can and do not see why people can't embrace the past legacy of all our fine players and coaches, and at the same time get behind the players we have now and the coaches we have now. To me I pay very little attention to peoples opinions who are waiting around, looking at the phone to ring because they are an over qualified Monday Morning QB and/or Coach. The phone is NOT going to ring with a football job offer. So stick with what your best at and that's being a proud fan of the players and coaches past and present who chose to don the Maize and Blue. Lloyd ran a Pro set RR runs a zone read, the players needed to run these schemes are not compatible. Lloyd did a good job and RR will also do a good job.

Yes, he was a great part of the Michigan history and tradition, but time was passing him by and there are serious doubts about the end of his career. The Decimated Defense article at mgoblog.com really spells it out and shows why we are where we are on defense. On offense a big part of the issue lies with the exodus of players when RR arrived, including graduations as well as players such as Mallett leaving. You just cannot have players like that leave the program and expect it to continue on, but you cannot expect them to stay for a transition to something they did not sign on for. I'm OK with that. We saw moments of brilliance this year, and next year we will see more as the offense continues to build. In a couple years the defense will come along, too, again after the cupboard is restocked. In two years there will not be a program in the Big Ten that will be able to play with UM and in three they will be competitive with every program in the nation! The UM faithful will be rewarded - those who continue to believe will see champions! There is no doubt a large part of the blame for the last two seasons is with Carr.
