00:00Our question right now. Are you losing faith in Sharon Moore as the head coach and I'll start I
00:07Liked the decision to promote him
00:09You wanted to continue the momentum of Michigan's national title the identity is a physical running football team
00:16He's a former offensive line guy a reputation as a good recruiter. These are things worth taking a shot on
00:23And a good play caller. Yes when he was calling plays that is not the case this season
00:29Am I losing faith?
00:30Yes
00:31I mean
00:31I don't like seeing 30 seconds get bled off the clock absent-mindedly asleep at the wheel at the end of the game
00:36I don't understand fourth and threes
00:39kicking three yards from the end zone a field goal or
00:43Running a third and long only to take a delay a game and punting the ball
00:46These feel like coaching blunders and as far as play calling goes
00:50He is not making the decision to strip Kirk Campbell of play calling therefore
00:54He is endorsing Kirk Campbell as the play caller every week
00:58That is an issue that I would have as a Michigan fan, and we are getting ticket text people are unhappy
01:04Naturally with a five and five football team
01:06But it's not like he's squeezing every single ounce of talent out of this roster in many ways
01:11They've underachieved in many ways. They blew a chance to beat, Indiana this week
01:15They were in that football game, and they did not coach it well
01:19And if you're going to make a change at quarterback, which they've done four times
01:24If you're gonna make it to a change in personnel up front some of it due to injury
01:28But others due to performance if you're gonna make a change at other positions
01:33Then why not?
01:35consider
01:36taking over play calling
01:38We've asked him. I've asked him by the way you've asked him
01:40We've asked him about that and he is saying it's a collective effort. He's kind of deflecting to the team
01:45He doesn't want to single out anybody
01:47But then you all get lumped in is what I'm just gonna default to then fine
01:50And you are endorsing this product this offense this coaching staff and and this play calling
01:55But the I mean again the question I go back to is if you're gonna hold players
02:00To a certain standard of performance then why not do that for your staff as well
02:05And I do think I don't think he should be fired right now
02:07I know we're gonna get some of that in the ticket text
02:08I think this is an incredibly pivotal offseason for Michigan football and for Sharon Moore because you aren't Jim Harbaugh
02:13You need to put your own stamp on the program
02:15You will have a chance to get in line at the buffet before everybody else
02:19You're not gonna be in the playoff and have some long season
02:22You need to hit the portal need to revamp your staff
02:25You need to put your stamp on the program and it has to look a hell of a lot better next season
02:29Well, and and this is where Sharon Moore you could call it. You need to be cutthroat
02:34It's just called being a leader. You've got to make tough decisions, and you can't worry about feelings if
02:41you're gonna make a decision about bringing in a transfer portal quarterback or
02:47offensive lineman or
02:49Defensive lineman because you're losing a lot of talent to the draft or to graduation up there as well
02:53Like you're going to have to bring in an influx of talent
02:56There's no question about that
02:57And if you're not worried about players feelings in that which you shouldn't
03:01That it's the same thing with your staff like you can't you can't be loyal to a fault right loyalty is
03:09It should always be a part of the decision, but the loyalty is ultimately to
03:15The team to the school to the brand like you and into yourself like if you don't make those changes
03:23Instead of somebody else being out of job. Everyone will be out of job some ticket text coming in this one says
03:29Michigan calls plays like they have last year's personnel. They obviously don't this o-line is not moving people
03:35Yeah, we're to the point now where you're deep enough into the season
03:37The o-line has not developed enough and neither back got going against Indiana and when neither back is breaking off big runs John
03:44It's a problem. I'm looking at up front going. Are you guys doing enough of all of our techs?
03:48I agree with that one the most today. I really believe that he's coaching last year's team. He thinks
03:53To a degree I mean it you can almost make the case that without all the other quarterback shuffling that
03:59Orgies being used like JJ was a couple years ago
04:02You know the orgy thing is a joke the fact that he came in on that opening series on
04:09Second down completely derailed that drive which then led to three points instead of you getting seven
04:15Which then would have factored in later into the game when maybe you just needed a Zavada field goal to actually win the game
04:22And I also think too when he came back in in the first half and he fumbled, you know, I what are you doing?
04:28This doesn't work, but he keeps trying to do it ticket texture says Sharon doesn't have a clue
04:33He's in over his head and he's drowning taking the program down with him texture says he needs to be fired
04:39Sadly, they won't until the NCAA stuff is over
04:42drew in Woodhaven
04:44Another one says you think Sharon can think two plays ahead?
04:47It took him 30 seconds to realize he needed timeouts taken at the end of the game. Let's temper our
04:52Expectations and this one says is Michigan still gonna win the national championship?
04:57No, it says like John predicted you had them in the title game. Yeah
05:02Taking my lumps. Yes. Yeah, I'm not gonna pile on there texture says why doesn't cookies bring the same energy when he talks about the
05:08Spartans there's two different standards
05:10Let's just acknowledge the elephant in the room one's coming off a national title with playoff
05:15Expectations every time they put those winged helmets on Michigan State's coming from the ashes. Yeah, I mean I
05:23Don't I mean do you want me to rake Jonathan Smith over the Coles to I'm not seeing this level of mismanagement in the games
05:31No, it's I mean we could go back to the head-to-head matchup and talk about your own out coach him
05:37I said that at the time right but again, it's two different expectations this year for these teams
05:43And and when those expectations are what they are and call it unfair call it whatever you want. It doesn't matter. There's nothing
05:50Fair doesn't play into any of this. How about this ticket Texas?
05:53We're not getting a lot of support for Sharon, but this one is interesting John Sharon reminds me of Dan Campbell's first year with clock
06:01Management issues play calling issues with Anthony Lynn needs to step up and remove coordinators who aren't working
06:08Signed an assistant JV youth football coach from the sideline. Well, so I could see the the comparisons
06:16the difference is
06:18Halfway through that season Anthony Lynn was no longer calling plays
06:21Well, that's what this person saying is if you're not willing to make those changes
06:26You won't eventually have a Dan Campbell like impact on your football team or you know trajectory, yeah
06:34ticket texture says I
06:36Think Michigan's biggest mistake is they didn't adapt to the talent in the room or she's the best athlete they have
06:41but he is not a
06:43pro
06:46And that it cuts off sorry that they're not using orgy properly did you agree with that?
06:53I
06:54Mean they they you they're using him like they did last year now
06:57You know, I know there was a couple of games where they did make him the starter, but it was clear
07:02You know
07:03He wasn't going to be the thrower that they hoped he were gonna he was gonna develop it to the problem
07:08I have is that every time Alex orgy is in the game. I
07:13Really believe if Teddy could speak
07:17full sentences and words he would say
07:21Michigan's going to run the ball
07:23like that to me is the most obvious thing and and it's just when that happens and
07:29You become that predictable
07:32If you don't have the offensive line, like they had the last couple of years when you come predictable become predictable you lose
07:41Any slight advantage you may have had?
07:45Texture says I love more in the direction. He's taking Michigan football signed a Michigan State fan as
07:51An MSU fan I would take more over the cloud and we have running our program at least more can recruit
07:57Well, this is where and you mentioned it. There's a very pivotal offseason. I don't think Chirona is going to be relieved of duty
08:04No, I don't think anybody, you know, you may want him to but it's not gonna happen
08:09This is a very pivotal office. And if we've learned anything about you know, this year's Greg Palm or the rankings that you can
08:17Turn around your program in an instant. Yeah, I mean who are some of the teams sitting in the mix atop the sport right now?
08:24it's
08:25Indiana 10 and oh, it's B. Why are you undefeated? It's SMU undefeated in ACC play to this point of the season, right?
08:36It's a Vanderbilt team that has been ranked. They've got a transfer quarterback like you you have the ability to
08:42completely
08:44Reshape your roster and I would even point out the heavy hitters in the college football playoff tonight
08:49You will see number one, Oregon number two, Ohio State
08:51Both teams were not shy about using the transfer portal both brought in a veteran quarterback among other studs on their roster
08:58I mean, Ohio State's rosters a 20 million dollar deal and Oregon
09:02Phil lights not shy either. They went out and pulled receivers from the SCC and gave him a bag like
09:08Whether you're the little guy getting a step up or the big guy that's reinforcing their roster with the portal
09:13You're right college football now more than ever is set up for a team to turn around one
09:16It seems like you're getting a little dirtier than Michigan typically does by trying to flip Underwood
09:23This is gonna be a big deal if they flip him he committed to LSU. Did you see who's coaching him now?
09:27Yes, Connor Stallions is on the coaching staff of Belleville now
09:32It made me wonder a little bit about is there something else going on there?
09:36But that's that's a lot of speculation. You took me off track
09:39All this can the recruiting class is allegedly good that's coming in
09:43Yeah, and it will be border great if they get Underwood now, that's recruiting and we've seen this a thousand times
09:49Doesn't mean you're gonna be good. That doesn't take away the way you manage the game at the end of the game
09:55Yeah, yeah using timeouts clock management
09:57Sure, you're gonna do if you don't change that and fix that or clearly clearly see you you really screwed that up
10:03You'll waste more talented teams. Yeah. Yeah, that's a really good point
