Does the Michigan coaching staff deserve the most blame?
Transcript
00:03text pouring in on campus
00:06Roy in Clarkston
00:07big Gator fan says September Heisman should be
00:09Jaden Baugh
00:10I thought about that I did too he would have been on my ballot
00:13yeah 11 touchdowns
00:15in four games 600 yards
00:17very good
00:18but I also would have to tell Roy that
00:21the Gators were also under
00:23consideration for an upset this week big emotional
00:25win they go on the road
00:26Missouri off a loss
00:29yeah I don't know I feel like
00:31there's more substance there
00:33I agree which is why
00:35I ultimately went a different direction
00:36I went with
00:39Clemson
00:40who by the way the last time they played Miami
00:43in Death Valley 2022
00:45a 40-10 victory for Clemson
00:47Miami hasn't played anybody
00:49upset alert
00:51keep an eye on it
00:53okay 248-539-9797
00:55on the last play
00:57of the Iowa game I told everyone in the stands with me
00:59Iowa will line up
01:00we'll call a timeout
01:01they didn't
01:02I'm yelling take a timeout
01:04Michigan was not charged with a timeout
01:06on the daily injury
01:07why did they not call a timeout
01:08coaching malpractice
01:09Kevin and Lansing
01:11why did Michigan not call a timeout
01:13get things set and get right
01:14drop everybody into the
01:16right onto the end zone
01:17right
01:17yeah
01:18but there was also plenty of time
01:21for those conversations to be happening
01:22as John Henry Daly
01:24limped off the field
01:25I don't think
01:25I would think that those
01:28like that was
01:29actually a thing
01:31on Michigan
01:31we want to play the blame game
01:32with the Wolverine fans today
01:34who do you blame most
01:35for that loss to Iowa
01:36248-539-9797
01:39I said it's coaching
01:40this coaching staff was hired
01:42to be clean
01:43tough and disciplined
01:45they aren't any of those things
01:46they beat themselves
01:47it's the Cardinals sin
01:48when you play Iowa
01:48and whether it's not having
01:5011 on the field
01:51for a fourth down attempt
01:52whether it's taking
01:54undisciplined penalties
01:55on both sides of the ball
01:56including the final drive
01:57defensively
01:57it's that toughness
01:59that's supposed to be
02:00synonymous with Whittingham
02:01and John I know it really
02:02burned you
02:02thinking you got the lead
02:04in the fourth quarter
02:04two different drives
02:06and you can't sustain
02:08so to me
02:10to accentuate that
02:11it is
02:12play selection
02:14on those two drives
02:15that came up empty
02:18and it's
02:19a lack of execution
02:20so
02:21when you're on the field
02:23you may not love
02:24the play that comes in
02:26but you gotta say
02:27I'm gonna block
02:27I'm going to make
02:28this one work
02:29because we simply
02:30have to
02:31and if you can't
02:33pick up first downs
02:34the play call
02:36that to me
02:37is just the most absurd
02:38I'll just go back
02:39to that fourth and one
02:41like to
02:42I just
02:43can't wrap my head
02:44around the fact that
02:46they either
02:47haven't practiced
02:48a quarterback sneak
02:49in that situation
02:51Bryce did it
02:52like he did
02:52I can't remember
02:53which game it was
02:53it was a western game
02:54that they scored
02:55at the goal line
02:56and he put the ball
02:57over the top
02:57like
02:58that
03:00is
03:02a situation
03:03where you can
03:03go over the top
03:04from a quarterback
03:05that has long arms
03:06and he just has to
03:07reach the ball over
03:08break the plane
03:09because you're not
03:09worried about fumbling
03:10at that point
03:11plays dead at that point
03:11right
03:12and so why does this
03:13play not work
03:15or that design
03:16of the play
03:17not work
03:18is because as soon
03:19as Bryce goes
03:19to put the ball
03:20over the top
03:21he's got to then
03:23pull it back
03:24because if he fumbles
03:25it
03:25it wouldn't matter
03:26if he picked up
03:27the first down
03:28the ball is loose
03:29so where does that
03:30come from
03:30is that called
03:31QB jump the pile
03:33or like
03:33is that communicated
03:36ahead of the play
03:36that we want you
03:37to use your legs
03:38and just power
03:38through you're a big dude
03:40where does that come from
03:41how does that decision
03:42get made
03:42is it Bryce in the moment
03:43or is it called
03:44in the huddle
03:45I don't know
03:47the answer to that question
03:49because I don't know
03:50what the
03:51yeah I'm not on headset
03:52and it's
03:53but
03:55it's
03:56it
03:56it must not
03:57have been coached
03:58appropriately
03:59because
04:00you
04:01you just
04:02no one in the world
04:03would
04:04if you're going to
04:05send somebody
04:05over the top
04:06you
04:07you
04:07you take a step back
04:08and you hand it
04:09to a running back
04:10that has a five yard
04:11head start
04:12gets the ball
04:13and then launches
04:14over the top
04:14which again
04:15I think is a
04:16horrific idea
04:17in the middle
04:18of the field
04:20and again
04:21if you're going to
04:21do any of this
04:22and I'm looking at it
04:22again
04:23one two three
04:24four five six
04:25seven
04:26eight nine ten
04:27there's only ten
04:27you get eleven
04:29little extra tonnage
04:30goes a long way
04:31anybody can do it
04:31with eleven
04:33we want to
04:34leaders at best
04:36they just believe
04:37in their grind
04:37just do an Iowa
04:39solid
04:39trying to make it
04:40an even playing
04:40field
04:42yeah
04:42I mean
04:42Michigan fans
04:43you got no
04:43shortage of things
04:44to pull from
04:45how about two
04:45so just to
04:46capitalize on that
04:47all right
04:48so you don't
04:48pick it up
04:48and you don't
04:49kick the field goal
04:50what three points
04:51have mattered
04:52so that's one
04:53empty trip to
04:53the red zone
04:54and then the
04:54other empty
04:55trip to the end
04:55zone
04:56you throw an
04:56interception
04:57now there's a
04:57miscommunication
04:58between quarterback
04:59and wide receiver
04:59I don't know
05:00who's to blame
05:01is it quarterback
05:01or is it wide
05:02receiver
05:02it doesn't matter
05:03but you come away
05:04without even
05:05attempting three
05:07points
05:07and I hate
05:08settling
05:09but when you
05:09play Iowa
05:10you know
05:11three here
05:11and three there
05:12we joked
05:13how many points
05:14are going to be
05:14scored in a game
05:15yeah I mean
05:15way more than I
05:16thought was actually
05:17going to be scored
05:17and I
05:19last week when you
05:20said this I'm like
05:20did you read my
05:21keys to the game
05:22because this game
05:23could be decided
05:24by who kicks
05:25the most field goals
05:26and it three points
05:27field position in that
05:29game was absolutely
05:30going to matter
05:31now on the very
05:33end of it
05:34you have field
05:35position
05:36they've got to
05:37go 89 yards
05:38to have a hope
05:40of beating you
05:40for an offense
05:41that could not
05:42move the ball
05:43they couldn't
05:44complete a forward
05:44pass
05:45they couldn't
05:45move the ball
05:47they couldn't
05:47run the ball
05:48a vaunted Iowa
05:49offense could not
05:51run the football
05:52yet they find a way
05:53to go 89 yards
05:54at the very end
05:55of the game
05:56to score
05:56people think about
05:57that Iowa football
05:58ran a two minute
05:59drill 90 yards
06:00to beat you
06:02in the year
06:032026
06:04it cannot happen
06:05it should not
06:06happen
06:07I didn't steal
06:07your notes
06:08but I am going
06:08to steal something
06:09from TJ's notes
06:09we had TJ Lang
06:10in yesterday
06:11and off air
06:11he said what
06:12really bothered
06:12him on the
06:13final drive
06:14it's third
06:14and five
06:15I know you
06:15want to run
06:15the clock
06:16but it's
06:17third and
06:17five
06:18you don't
06:18trust your
06:19quarterback
06:19right
06:20I mean
06:20that is also
06:21a pretty big
06:21red flag
06:22it's five
06:22yards
06:23gonna be hard
06:23to get
06:23against that
06:24defense
06:24and they
06:24did not
06:25trust
06:25Bryce
06:26who do
06:26you blame
06:27248-539-97-97-97
06:30Michigan's
06:30first loss
