Michigan Fades Fast Against Illinois

He was livid at Shaw for fumbling and I don't know the last time I've seen a Michigan coach that mad. God knows Carr never got that angry.

You know, he's calling the right plays; the execution just isn't there and it's frustrating.

Everyone wants to blame the coach right away but the players are just too inexperienced.

My biggest question mark on the coaching staff is Scott Schafer. Where is this so called blitz happy coach? All I heard about this guy was that he was a blitz-happy aggressive coach.

But all I've seen so far is the same Michigan defense getting burned by an athletic quarterback.

And will someone please fire the special teams coach?

Overall Coaching Grade: C+

 

Final Thoughts

My final thoughts are that I want to take a high powered drill to my temple.

Instead of turning the corner after the big comeback against Wisconsin, they reverted back to form and sucked it up.

It's like the Wolverines took two steps backward instead of using the momentum from last week's big win to take advantage and put to rest any worries about making a bowl game.

Now they have to win four of remaining seven games to be bowl eligible, and even then it's sketchy that they'll make one.

Overall Grade: C-
