MGoBlog. Still. In. the. Zone. Deeply.

College Football

One part of me feels bad for Michigan nation that the coaching search to replace Lloyd Carr has been handled about as well as Fred Thompson’s presidential campaign. The other part of me is delighted because it has spurred the consistently excellent MGoBlog to fantastic nearly unmatchable heights of excellence in the last month.

Head there again and read through the latest broadsides at AD Bill Martin, the latest in the Les Miles fiasco, and make certain to read down to the “Profiles in Cronyism” takedown of the inclusion of Ball State coach Brady Hoke in the search. Linger on that post for goodness like this:

“Overall Attractiveness: Awful. Awful, awful, awful. The worst possible candidate. The mere idea this guy — who’s never even been a coordinator anywhere and has his MAC team performing at a level well below the program’s historical baseline — could get the job is infuriating. Only at Michigan could this happen, and if it does I guarantee you that Bo is going to haunt the mofo that signs the contract.”

The rest of it is even better.
