Michigan OC Al Borges fired

[exswoo]

Thought some of you guys would be interested - rumor is that they're trying to court UCLA's OC but it's not looking likely to happen.

But two months ago so many were insisting that he was such a great coordinator...

Borgess and Mattison were the #1 examples used when criticizing Bo and the hiring of inexperienced coordinators. it was always "Look at Hoke. He went out and got experienced coordinators. lah dee dah." So I find this rather comical.

But Al Borges wrote a book about the West Coast Offense. How could he fail????

ran Auburn into the ground and was fired, deja vu at Michigan!

 

[Landlord]

I must not have been paying attention. I thought I remembered everyone on this board laughing at Michigan and waiting for their 'pro-style' Borges offense to crash and burn, which it did.

 

[MichiganMan]

when you make 700k a year and run backwards, you got issues. Hoke did this to save himself because if no changes were made 2014 would be a repeat of 2013 and Hoke would be fired.

This was just this year when looking at the matchup in Ann Arbor:

Home Field Advantage + Mich

Coming off last game results + Nebraska

Head Coaching + Nebraska

Coordinators + Mich (slightly)

End result: Nebraska by slim margin

slightly? by a WIDE margin.

No emphasis added.

BTW its not being talked about much right now but we open the 2014 season against App State.

If Jabba the Hoke wasn't still there the area Golden Corrals would be hurting pretty bad

 

[WoodyHayes1951]

BTW,

This displeases me that they got rid of their worthless coordinator before we did...

Not me.

Give Hoke credit for making the change.
