Cig has commented that Haines won’t move for just any job but the right situation. Idk if Maryland is that. Maybe Shanahan moves on although I’d say Cig with Bostad in collective with Shanahan is successful. Tino moved and look how that turned out. Wonder if Cig would promote Tino or another staff member as OC or hire outside? I’m worried about others poaching Kuntz, Miller, and Cain at some point. Our staff as a whole is elite.

Someone said ankle but wasn’t he out most of the season at Penn State last year too? Injury prone and at this point it appears Cig doesn’t have a lot of confidence in him seeing the field with the responses he’s given when asked.

Good lord they are really concerned about this so much they are going right to the top. Maybe they like their chances better with Indiana Supreme Court. Appears posters on X think they will lean on Braun to get the court in line or threaten to leave Indiana if they don’t rule in favor of NCAA. I really am just baffled at how they are going to do everything in their power to keep the 2022 class from getting this extra year.

Been reading that in Mexico. Very good read.

Are both he and Brunner guards? I thought Brunner was said to be switching to tackle?

Thanks for posting. So mad we left the bar and missed a great ending.

Ugh in Mexico left the bar. So mad we missed it. Daughter texted and said Michigan just lost if he got his feet in. Will have to look for the X replay. It was boring thru the 3rd qtr so we decided to ditch the bar.

Good news. Hoping we survive the next two road games and have both available for OSU

I’m not optimistic we see him anytime soon either. And even if we do Cig mentioned he’s only practiced about 20% of the time since he’s been here. What impact can we expect him to make at this point?

He can make the throws. His accuracy is another point of contention. I’m more optimistic they can fix his issues than I am the issues on the line, our temporary 1 running back situation, and our atrocious secondary. With all 3 of our RB I think it opens up a lot. But Hoover threw some passes last night that will be picked by better defenses. If our line play doesn’t get better, Hoover may not have a lot of chances to throw (OSU/UM will bully our o line). IMO Whitmer is a far superior QB coach to Tino but he was never long for the job in college.

Ponds, Fisher, Moore, Boykin. We are missing them, their leadership, and their ability to tackle. I was worried about the secondary before the season. It’s a huge weakness. If we can’t get pressure up front, good QBs will destroy us. Good news is Sayin isn’t super mobile. Bad news is Underwood may kill us in Michigan. I know a lot are worried about Hoover. He hasn’t played great yet but my concerns are with the O line. Are will missing Owings? We couldn’t punch it in on the goal line because we were getting bullied and couldn’t move anyone. Also concerned about Lee having to play every down. That’s not feasible so hopefully Cig gets those young guys ready for Rutgers because we need all hands on deck.

All still rumors unless you saw someone credible post it (I haven’t yet but may have missed it). I thought Hardy was a concussion when he hit the ground so not surprised if this is the case. I hope we have Turbo and or Khobie for OSU. We are going to need all 3 plus Hoover and the receivers to pull that one out.

I’d argue the back end as a whole is thin and weak. When we play a mobile QB that the D line can’t get to or contain we are going to be in trouble. Underwood may torch us at Michigan if we don’t get our issues worked out.

Unknown yet but posters on X saying looks like high ankle sprain or could be a break. 2-4 weeks, 4-6 weeks, or out for the season. Nobody knows anything just theorizing. Probably won’t know until Monday I’d guess. Hip drop tackle killed his ankle. Couldn’t put pressure on it walking off and they said his family was seen going into the lockerroom. Again all just hearsay from X though.

Beebe MVP. Lots of work to do. Defense struggled. Secondary was what I was most concerned about this year and that was shown as a weakness tonight. Without another back, Cig has to go to one of the young guys to give Lee a break. How will we handle the road next week?
