temptation

Damn, only one traditional SEC school in your top five? No USC? I hate to tell ya but…if you think “sign stealing” with an iPhone is bad…

It’s battery operated. Your wife have any extra next to the bed she could spare?

"Roll over/play dead" (Also ironically what Notre Dame has chosen to do this postseason...)

1. And you never want to be the guy to follow a legend. Another 4 loss season due to a first round CFP exit at Bama and they will be done with him. Its different down there. Add in the Michigan ties he has on his staff and the fact that he publicly stated he wanted the job last time it was open. Dillingham knows he is plan B and is awaiting DeBoer's answer which will not come until after this week's CFP game. ASU is his alma mater and he lives on the same block as his parents. He has stated that ASU is his home and likely has reservations about uprooting the entire family, Michigan is as good of a job as Alabama in the NIL era. 2. Those schools made public statements about something being in the works but nothing has been signed. When Cignetti was extended, it happened without a public statement prior. Those schools are doing their jobs. 3. Yes. 4. Michigan's last 10 classes: 2026: 11th... 2025: 6th... 2024: 16th... 2023: 17th 2022: 9th... 2021: 13th... 2020: 10th... 2019: 8th... 2018: 22nd... 2017: 5th...plenty of non-top 10 classes 5. If Michigan were such a dumpster fire, where are all of the transfers and bowl opt outs. They have relied on great player development and more often than not out perform their recruiting rankings...(probably more so because of "the signs" I bet though). And you keep putting words in my mouth. Never said they were "bleach clean" rather the cheating "scandal" is way overblown and has been proven as such. I've gone over this ad nauseum on this board so I won't bore you with the details and facts that get in the way of your outrage. Texas, Clemson, Penn State, Florida, LSU, FSU, South Carolina were all much bigger disappointments than Michigan this year. The Wolverines were ranked outside of the top 10 in the preseason and finished 0.5 above their projected Vegas win total and finished in the top 20. You are such a hater.

Made up.

The glass houses quote was attributed to you...nothing else.

"Sit..." "Beg.." "Good girl."

Ron clutched his pearls a couple of times regarding my tone in a fan group and pulled a Notre Dame. I'm not for everyone.

1. Maybe, just MAYBE the candidate(s) have the most important game of their season approaching? Everyone is not Lane Kiffin. 2. Did you notice that "rumblings" of contract extensions at Bama and ASU were leaked last week yet have not been signed? 3. Did you see the about face on candidate 1B yesterday when asked about the job for the second time? 4. A dumpster fire? A top 10 recruiting class incoming (only two have left thus far) and 15+ starters returning next year? Hardly. Michigan is using a well-known search firm to vet potential candidates. They used the same firm to hire current basketball coach Dusty May who looks like a home run thus far. Rushing this process may very well be what got them in to the current situation in which they find themselves. Harbaugh announced his departure for the NFL two weeks after the national championship game and Moore was named the heir apparent without any real formal interview process. He was the candidate most likely to keep the glue (particulary Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant) of returnees from that squad together as the players loved him. Once again, I often get accused of derailing threads but this broad thread of "2025 College Football Season" has now become "Michigan obsessed" just over 48 hours before the playoff. Every one in line waiting for their turn to "Stick it to Temp", lol. Had Michigan rushed this decision and named someone immediately, this board would also have referred to things as a "dumpter fire" and questioned the decision. Its truly a lose/lose for some of you. Michigan has time. A lot of time? No. But time, nonetheless. No one surprising has hit the portal and Biff is running the show and Texas actually has more opt outs for the Citrus Bowl thus far than do the Wolverines. That tells me something. Now, are they guaranteed to land one of Candidates A/B? Certainly not, but the fact that candidate A isn't even beloved on his own campus (especially if he loses Friday night) and candidate B changed his tone drastically yesterday also tells me something.

Geezus. So much misinformation to unpack here. Should I waste my breath? I'm sure this has been considered. There is a reason why Kiffin and Kelly have not been mentioned. (Also, the irony in Notre Dame fans piling on coaches with character issues is hilarious...) I think someone on here mentioned "glass houses" the other day, but cannot be sure.

Here doggy, doggy...

Eventually he's gotta miss on one...yet I have been saying that about OSU for years now.

Nah. 1A/1B mentioned above still the targets. Candidate C now out. Three guys on the outside looking in if a backup option needed. Biff got a token interview. Hiring firm found a bit of dirt on candidate C as Michigan is prioritizing high character with this hire.

Damn. That’s why I’ve been losing so much sleep.

“I have you blocked.” LOL.

Don't even know what that means, but ok. You convince yourself that DeBoer and Willingham have already declined the job and are signing extensions then, mkay?

Only question remaining for me regarding Cignetti is whether or not he can develop a P4 quarterback out of high school, not the portal.

Yep, including the postseason.

You sure seem to follow me around this board like a dog on a leash though. And now you’re a psychologist? Just let go man. It’ll be ok.

Mom still dead. Nice try gramps. Never ends with you. Let the adults talk.

I will be completely transparent here. Unlike OSU, I actually respect Notre Dame when it comes to the institution and the sport in general. They do things the right way, graduate their players, etc.. Its the FANS (as evidence by this forum) and their level of arrogance that annoys me. They talk like its the 1990s when in fact they have not won anything of significance this century. (And no @Bobref, not a chance. No real Buckeye fan roots for Michigan EVER..and vice versa.)

Not just one injury at QB...an injury at the most important position in the game. I'll give ND credit as they did what they needed to to win the game. Your hatred for me far exceeds my hatred fot Notre Dame. Aren't you supposed to be hibernating until Penn plays again?

"You're" This is kinda fun.

Man, first ducking bowl games, citing close losses and now making injury excuses...definitely not my grandpa's Notre Dame. (By the way, Ohio State's win probablilty in the NCG never dropped below 94% in the second half.) "But did you see the look on the crowd's faces?!" LOL.

Instead of settling for second best; they were offended at being 13th best lol.
