But when a coach fails that spectacularly as a HC, it tells me he also has some weaknesses as a coordinator.

Wow, this just made me smile. Mettenberger will have a shot to start next year now. JJ will never learn a new scheme in a few months.

You're right...Weis has done a bang up job during his college tenure thus far.

Kragthorpe - meh. He's produced some good offenses. But his resume doesn't overwhelm me.

I'll just miss JJ's great performance breakdown of himself. The best would have to be his Vandy breakdown. "I thought I played pretty well." No Jefferson, you didn't.

Sure GC needs to go. He and Miles simply can no longer co-exist. But to think it is all the fault of GC (who, by the way, has been here for all but one of Miles' seasons so he might deserve credit for some of those 10 wins, too) is absolutely laughable.
what?

I didn't know GC was a part of the New Hampshire Mafia.

I don't know a whole lot but what I do know is miles is interviewing 3 or so for OC. I hear kragthorpe is leading candidate. Michigan has not contacted miles, if they do I think he may talk to them but I can't really tell if he would reallyleave if offered at this point.
Thanks for the info.
Out of curiousity, do you not know the other two candidates, or can you not say for some reason?

good news all around 
kragthorpe, good choice. he will rely on the running game and whoever is back there at QB will get quality instruction. i guess he's probably alot like Bamas mcelwain

if you look at steve k. prior to louisville, you have to be impressed.
Steve Kragthorpe (born April 28 1965 in Missoula, Montana)
[edit]Early career
Kragthorpe was born in Missoula, Montana but attended Highland High School in Pocatello, Idaho. He was recruited by Bill Kelly to play at Eastern New Mexico University, where he played quarterback in 1983 and '84. When Kelly left ENMU for West Texas State (now West Texas A&M University), Kragthorpe followed him. After sitting out the 1985 season, he played in 1986 and '87. He started 11 games as a senior and completed 179-of-344 passes for 1,980 yards and nine TDs.
Kragthorpe earned a bachelor's degree in business administration in 1988 from West Texas State and received his MBA in 1989 from Oregon State University. He then spent more than a decade as an assistant coach at several colleges. At age 26, he became offensive coordinator under Steve Axman at Northern Arizona University. He left in 1994 to join Matt Simon's coaching staff at the University of North Texas. After leaving the state of Texas for one year, serving as quarterbacks coach under Dan Henning at Boston College in 1996, Kragthorpe came back to join R. C. Slocum's staff at Texas A&M. He served as quarterbacks coach in 1997 before replacing Steve Marshall as offensive coordinator in 1998. Texas A&M won a Big 12 championship in 1998.
In 2001, Kragthorpe left the collegiate ranks to become quarterback coach under head coach Gregg Williams for the Buffalo Bills. He trained quarterback Drew Bledsoe. who had arguably the best season of his career in 2002. In 2003, Kragthorpe took over his first head coaching position, succeeding Keith Burns at the University of Tulsa.
[edit]Head coaching career
In his first season at Tulsa, Kragthorpe guided a program that had won just two games during the previous two seasons to a 8–5 record and its first bowl game appearance since 1991. In 2005, Tulsa won the Conference USA championship and then went on to beat Fresno State in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl.

He develops QBs. He likes the run. He runs a pro-style offense. We have talent.
It's a recipe for success. We haven't had a QB coach since Jimbo left.

dan henning was a pretty good o.c. for many years in the n.f.l.
other than louisville, he showed improvement and success everywhere he stopped.
