Call your shot. Do you predict that KW will win the Big 10, go .500 or better against Ohio State, or win a national championship while at Michigan?
Both he and Michigan have missed bowl games 4 times since 2005. Michigan has had 4 losing seasons and Kyle 3. This is just meaningless stats but I found it interesting.
As long as the money keeps coming in to the program I think Michigan will be fine. I don’t think Michigan believes that this is a ten year hire but rather a hire to stabilize the program and I don’t know how much better of a hire they could have made this late into the cycle.

Should have no bearing on if its a great hire. Its a good hire but was he anywhere near the list when the job became open?

Reminds me of when Peterson left Boise for Washington
I mean Petersen won the PAC 12 two times in six years. I know that isn’t anything spectacular but that’s exactly ‘terrible’.

You are probably looking too much into this. That player signed with a coach who likely won’t be there.
I get it "you sign with the school but not a coach"…. And with the portal this loss means nothing.

Damn, great hire, wish we could have gotten him.
I always loved how physical his teams were - especially fun when he would make USC look like soft little bitches.

I don't hate the hire. I think he was the best option available and will stabilize the program after the current mess. But will he be judged successful by the normal standards of a blue blood program? On the balance I will guess the answer is no.
I think he’s a very solid hire who should win 9-10 games a year with the potential to beat OSU and compete for B10 championships.
I don’t think he’s a home run hire in a cycle where the timing is better, but they were playing a game of coaching musical chairs after most of their competitors had already begun and finished their game weeks before so this was a solid hire and much better than hiring a former equity guy who decided to coach football as a retirement job while wearing no sleeves.

“Only on this board, just amongst LSU fans, is Kyle.fricking Whittingham considered a "bad" hire”
Exactly. Great coach with resources he’s never had could be scary. LSU fans are too busy celebrating hiring a child that when Saban was asked by Byrne what he thought about Kiffin when he retired said he didn’t need to be “within a thousand miles of Tuscaloosa” but should be fine for LSU when they asked. LSU fans think way more of themselves than others.

He’s an 8-4 big 12 coach
So, Brian Kelly. Just older.

That’s a risk that could happen with KW but if it doesn’t it’ll end up being a good hire
On paper it’s behind LK as the top hire and interchange with VT hiring Franklin for #2

Yeah, it's bonkers. He has only been their head coach since Urban Meyer left for Florida. 20 years = stability. That's what Michigan needs right now.

I've deducted that most LSU fans(not you) don't know shite about football

Tunnel vision is what most suffer from. They want someone to hire BK to offset his buyout. No big program was going to hire him.
