On SportsCenter they said Henne won't play next week. So it looks like Clausen against Mike Hart [/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ] Oh, and if Ryan Mallett doesn't redshirt this year I'm going to set Lloyd's office on fire. Kind of crazy that the kid (barring injury) is probably going to be Michigan's 3rd 4-year starting QB in a row. [/ QUOTE ] I think it's pretty likely that he doesn't. And, I'd be fine with that IF he gets a lot of snaps AND they let him throw a lot. If his stat line at year's end reads something like 13-20, 152 yards, 1 TD, I'm going to be angry. But if we get him in for say an entire half against App State, EMU, and one or two B10 teams (and maybe 3 quarters against ND, don't want to run it up too much, after all), then I think it will be worth it. Getting reps is very important to developing as a QB. [/ QUOTE ] entire half v Oregon....woot!

[ QUOTE ] Big Michigan fan but I keep hoping for a dreadfull year just to be done with the coach. He plays it safe racks up enough wins fora good bowlgame but doesn't take the risks neccesary to be competitive with the top few teams. Even though the talent is there. [/ QUOTE ] This is beyond stupid. Lloyd is only going to coach for a few more years, if that, and a disastrous season would damage the program more than him leaving would help it, and him helping the program by leaving is highly debatable, at best. How could you ever hope for your team to have a [censored] season? [/ QUOTE ] interesting that we get to see this play out

Not so much because Lloyd will be fired (he won't), but because many signs were pointing to his retirement this year anyway (something about contract incentives). Granted, speculating about Lloyd's retirement has been a popular sport in Ann Arbor for a few years, so take it FWIW. The important thing, IMO, is this season, and specifically this start, all but ensures that DeBord gets no whiff of the job, if he ever had a chance. Bill Martin's record has been pretty good, IMO: Amaker was a mistake but I like his job in finding (and ponying up the cash for) a replacement...paid well for Maloney at baseball too, which is big. And with the stadium upgrade and the whole AD depending on football, he won't be afraid to pay the actual market rate for a top coach. He'll aim high, and while we may well not get a Rodriguez or Tedford, it won't be because we're not looking and it won't be because we won't pay because we believe they should be honored to coach for us at a below-market rate. So there's that, which is nice.
