My take on Lloyd (as a Michigan fan):

I think people rip Lloyd for the wrong reasons. The big knock is "he refuses to innovate." Well that is true, but only to a point. When Michigan has been the underdog, Lloyd and his staff have been willing to try different things and that has generally been successful- his record against the top 10 is excellent.

But as a fan I think he has to go because whenever we get into the top 5 its back to the old "We're Michigan and we will win running the same offense we've run since Bo and I don't care if they know what's coming because if we execute we will in the game." Examples include opening 80% of drives with runs over Long, always running towards a FB shift/motion, failing to tailor play calling to the defense's weaknesses, etc.

We do not lose because "the South and West have more speed." We lose because we fail to adjust out of arrogance and our poor schemes have players out of position and looking slow.
