Yes, and I think when RR hires a new DC he must let him run his own defense.

But I am telling you that RR will not allow that to happen. He has never done it in the past, he isn't going to start now

He may not have a choice if he wants to keep his job. He's never been in that position.

I was at the game and it was great GO BLUE!!!
With that being said, I have stuck up for Greg Robinson for a long time now but he has to go. There were way to many times when UI had guys wide open on 2end and 3rd and long. This is his fault IMO. Getting beat because of youth and inexperience is one thing but have guys not picked up has to be formation. The guy has to go along with everyone on that side of the ball. RR is still not safe IMO but will be if Michigan gets a win this week at Purdue. Like I said for weeks it's not the offense can and does work in the Big Ten. UI was number 15 in the country before the game in Defense and they put up 67 points. I still would love a new coach to come in and have RR as a Offensive coordinator but that is not going to happen so Michigan needs new coaching on Defense and RR needs to let whomever takes over have complete control and only worry about his offense IMO. Going to a bowl game is a good thing and it appears Michigan is finally headed in the right track but only if the defense is fixed.

RR has learned his lesson and if the AD/boosters have a guy in mind to bring in they will make sure he is allowed to run the D. After 2 losing seasons and the probation he's not able to stick with his own D if it's not working.

I agree with Greg Robinson and not adjusting. They ran the rollout/wheel rout play 3 times, and scored on ALL 3 of them! After the 1st or maybe 2nd time, figure it out. Same thing happened last year against MSU with this one running play. MSU ran it almost every 3rd and medium and got it last year.

You gotta have the athletes to make the stops. scUM simply doesn't have Big 10 First Division personnel on the field no matter who the DC is.

I agree with that but there is a huge difference between getting beat and not guarding someone.
