michigan played three good teams all year and got dominated by each of them. they were extremely lucky to play such an easy schedule or they would have seen a repeat of last year. or worse.
next year they wont be so lucky. and they are likely to lose a lot of their best players on defense, a defense that was poor against any offense with a pulse.
ive never been a fan of sherrone moore. he was too inexperienced to get this job and lucked into it by being able to hang around jim harbaugh for a few years and be in the right place at a time when michigan had no viable alternatives. but he's shown nothing to indicate he can be the leader of an elite program.
next year is likely going to be another 3-4 loss season. it will be the year after that when moore coaches for his job. if they arent in the playoff mix in 2 years, he'll likely be fired. a below .500 record next year (and with their schedule, its possible: osu, oregon, oklahoma, penn state, and indiana all on the sked) is on the table.
i know there was going to be some rebuilding after harbaugh left town, but they'll need to show some progress next year for me to believe he can build a real program and not just a mediocre one.
step one: fire wink and hire a good college defensive coordinator.
