Tom “killer” Kowalski’s latest update on the Lions is that Mike Martz is likely to depart from the sad sack nation known as Lion-dom following this season. You can tell based on commentary from certain members of the team [the o-line throwing the offensive coordinator under the bus in this case] and the poor […]
Holy shit. There was nothing since Lloyd Carr announced his retirement that would suggest Michigan was going to go out and try to hire one of the top coaches in college football. Michigan did the obvious and gave current coordinators Ron English and Mike DeBord cursory interviews. They also interviewed a solid […]
Based on what I’ve read from several news sources it looks like things could be progressing towards Rich Rodriguez becoming the University of Michigan’s next head football coach. Here are the two key pieces of information. The initial report from the Sporting News reported that Rodriguez was meeting with U of M president […]
With Les Miles confirming for the second [and hopefully final] time that he’s not a candidate for the University of Michigan coaching job, the collective mood of the Michigan fan base seems to be ranging anywhere from wistful to batshit crazy. Apparently there are a substantial number of people who still believe Miles will […]
I keep hearing absurd arguments for the old guard in regards to the Michigan head coaching job. The first thing I recall hearing when Mike DeBord left Central Michigan to become Michigan’s totally awesome special teams coach was that he quit the head coaching job because the Chippewa program didn’t have the commitment to […]
The Lions weren’t going to make the playoffs. That’s been obvious since their Thanksgiving Day massacre at the hands of the Green Bay Packers. However the team did have the chance to finish the season 8-8 and provide at least some rationale for believing Rod Marinelli could get things turned around for the […]
Detroit Tigers
After the Tigers lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2006 World Series I thought they’d need to make a trade that would be the equivalent of the Red Wings trade that brought Brendan Shanahan to Detroit.
Going back to the Red Wings analogy, the team finally made it over the hump from contender […]
I wasn’t impressed at all with the trade for Edgar Renteria but I REALLY like the trade for the D-Train and Miguel Cabrera. The lineup is going to be sick and should be able to compete with and beat just about anyone - including the BoSox.
The lineup
Grandy - CF
Polly - 2B
Sheff - DH
Maggs - […]
There continue to be mild rumblings that Michigan might still reach out to Les Miles to offer him the job opening, despite the fact Miles’ agent told Martin he has no interest in discussing the job opening with the University of Michigan. Martin has kept a low profile and hasn’t said much about the […]
Bill Martin mentioned that he’d like to have a new coach hired by the end of the month. Former head coach Lloyd Carr re-iterated this yesterday. He was quoted in this Free Press article.
On the teleconference to announce Michigan’s acceptance of the Capital One invitation, Carr said the U-M coaches have “tried to […]
