It is obvious which coach is the weakest link on the coaching staff.  I've been calling for a new DC for three years, or is it four now?

Jim Harbaugh has now hired and fired Don Brown as DC in that time span at Michigan. Today, a year after winning the NC, Ed Orgeron cashiered his DC Bo Pelini.

I don’t know.  Reading this board you would get a sense that the problem was “Shavita” and the playcalling.

There is no "the" problem. There are several problems on both sides of the ball, and in S&C

Agree, but one side of the ball was ranked #16 in FEI and the other was #100 this season. Doesn't take a shrewd football mind to figure out which was which.

Problems can have magnitudes of severity, and people seem to continually hone in on the one(s) I would argue is/are less severe. Defense is so clearly the elephant in the room to me. Say what you will about the talent level dropping, but it hasn't dropped to the level of a crappy G5 team, for Christ's sake!

Not quite related, but in terms of "making changes," Shaw deferred the opening coin toss in the last 3 games (in which we won the coin toss). He has never done it before. Ever.
