Michigan has found out what life is like without head coach Jim Harbaugh, and it’s not good. The Wolverines have a record of 4-3, and there is a great chance they won’t get to six wins and make a bowl game if they lose to Michigan State this weekend.
The Wolverines still have to face Oregon, Ohio State, and Indiana. If they lose all three of those games, they will have to beat both Michigan State and Northwestern to advance to a bowl game.
Michigan Joins A List With Bad Teams
Even though Michigan lost a lot on both sides of the ball and its head coach, nobody thought it would be this bad. However, John Talty from CBS Sports published an article titled “College football’s 10 most disappointing teams,” which includes Auburn, USC, and several places in between. Talty lists Michigan as one of the most disappointing teams in the country.
Talty is not high on the Wolverines season and had this to say about the team: “this one was easy to see coming, but disappointing nonetheless for Wolverines fans hoping to bask in last season’s championship for a little longer. The awkward timing of Jim Harbaugh’s departure for the NFL left Michigan with limited ability to add a badly-needed transfer quarterback as my colleague Chris Hummer detailed well here. Michigan’s offense has been a mess under first-year head coach Sherrone Moore who has had to rotate between Alex Orji, Jack Tuttle and Davis Warren to limited success. Michigan fell out of the Top 25 following its loss to Illinois last weekend, and with a schedule that still includes Oregon, Ohio State, Michigan State and Indiana, there’s no guarantee the Wolverines will even go bowling this season. Michigan has no choice but to be aggressive in the next transfer portal window to upgrade its offense starting at the QB position. ”
Michigan has been one of the worst teams in the country when it comes to quarterback play. They have tried three quarterbacks so far through seven games, but none have worked.
The Wolverines have many issues, and if things don’t change quickly, there is a good shot that head coach Sherrone Moore will be coaching for his job next season.
