I think it shows incompetence at the level of the Titans management. I’m not sure whether I read it here or somewhere else, but someone said “if you fire your coach and everyone immediately wants them to become their coach, you probably shouldn’t have fired your coach.” I have a hard time seeing whoever the Titans hire accomplishing more than Vrabel did. They’re incredibly devoid of talent.

I agree with all of this (especially the last part). Both teams did win the trade. I think I just don’t like that it’s felt as if the Rams are absolved from all scrutiny regarding the trade because they won one additional game with Stafford. Not far removed from that fallacy is the one that Stafford must be great and Goff must suck, because of the trade and what’s happened since. While I would love (beyond words) to see the Lions win a single Super Bowl, I would prefer to be them over the Rams right now, even considering that Super Bowl.

They won with Goff too. NFC Championship ain’t for nothing. It’s hard to say it would have happened with Goff too, but I think that speaks more to how McVay mismanaged that relationship than it does to Goff’s talents. While you’ll never be able to say the Rams lost the trade, because they won a Super Bowl, I do think the net positive may be higher for the Lions. It feels intuitively more difficult to take a team from 60 years of futility and make a contender in three years than it does to take an NFC Champion and make them a Super Bowl Champion.

Details will be announced tomorrow, but it is being scheduled for Saturday.

Can't fix stupid.

This is a great unique inside analysis on how they got to this point.

I’m kind of surprised the Titans didn’t try to trade him before firing him.

Harbaugh and Biden should have a memorable interaction if they go to the White House.

If Glenn leaves, Campbell should immediately be on the phone with Vrabel about the DC position. Former player, perfect culture fit, and a fantastic coach. Look at those recent Tennessee rosters, what did they expect him to do? He’s a football coach not a magician.

I didn't think Harbaugh could do it. Not that I thought it was a Harbaugh problem, I never wanted him fired, even after 2020... I just thought it was a college football problem that there was no immediate cure to for a program like Michigan, at least until the playoff expanded. When you have teams like Alabama and Ohio State, which are basically getting their first pick of the high school litter, taking all the 5*s, and then saying "alright y'all fight for the rest, see you in January", how are you supposed to compete with that? I thought Harbaugh was doing as well as any coach possibly could at a school like Michigan in that second tier. Ten wins and a warm bowl game. Wash, rinse, repeat... Going further and beating Ohio State and all their 5*s? It's not realistic to happen but once every 5-10 years. It should have happened with The Spot and didn't, so now we have to wait another 5-10 years. Let alone winning beyond that, taking down Alabama, Georgia, or the SEC Flavor of the Month in the same season. Impossible. But he did it. And the fact that he did it despite everything is truly remarkable. He took his 4*s and 3*s with the one or two 5*s, and he developed them. He turned a kid like Mikey Sainristil, changed his position, and made him into a championship clinching corner. He developed a program and a culture that beat Ohio State three times in a row. That beat Alabama in the Rose Bowl. That beat anybody and everybody who came in their way. In 2024, with a four-team playoff, that's beyond anything I could have expected.

It’s a very unique voice. I don’t dislike it. I think if he stays with the job for 15-20 years and improves naturally, it will become a very endearing voice for Michigan fans.

Karsch sounds like he’s still a little drunk on the midday show 😂

If this guy says it, it might just be true.

JUST SCORE POINTS

It hasn’t really looked like much has been returnable. Lots of short pooch punts that have bounced for UW.

7 likely wins this thing. Time to rise to the occasion.
