Surprised to hear this from you. Howard has never coached. JB won 750 games. Maybe you know something about Howard that the rest of us don't?

Unreal....2 hits in 16 innings. Only one starter with a hit. And it won't get any easier on Monday---Strasburg.
Pitching staff has given up 3 runs in 16 innings and we’re about to be down 0-2. Holy hell this offense is inconsistent.
Still a much better season that I anticipated. Offense still has a LONG way to go.
Its gonna be tough---thats for sure. Strasburg looming in Game 3. Losing this game doesn't end things. But man it makes it tough. Especially considering they'll have to face Scherzer again. That dude is dialed in.
If I thought Howard would step in and equal Beilein then I’d be expecting a top 3 finish.
Like I said, I think Beilein would finish top 3 with this roster. I think Howard can crack the top 5. Senior leadership can help a coaching transition IMO.
What’s his philosophy offensively/defensively compared to Beilein? Is it similar or is it a big change?
It’s been quiet on that front. It sounds like it will be more uptempo with more freedom. Beilein’s offense was more methodical. Sounds like he will run two bigs out there at times in Teske and Castleton. I’ll believe that when I see it but that could be interesting.
Iowa suck so bad they have to have the refs cheat for them @dragonhawk1855
That was a touchdown plain as day.

Please don't say "you guys" when talking to him. Dude does not represent us and never will.
Yeah, we’re shit. The O-Line is wrecked with injuries again, but the defense has been a huge disappointment. We brought back almost everyone and somehow we are way worse.
Didn’t mean to ignore it. Sometimes I just skim through the thread in the off-season.
Yeah, Illinois is trash, but Michigan is not a top 25 team. They were not impressive at all. About time for them to get a decent coach.
Field. I’d take a straight up bet for $50 right now. Injuries happening are not part of the bet of course.
Who the hell would bet against MSU this year
Nice try - no!!! I’m picking MSU to win it all but feel that there are three others who have a decent shot and some others that may surprise. So the field seems like the right bet. Regardless looking forward to the season and hoping no one has significant injuries.
I would also take the field as long as a MSU tie with anyone in the field is a push
I don’t. Something would have to go seriously wrong with MSU for them not to win it.
I’m with ya. I was just thinking of who might be able to challenge them. Maryland came to mind first. Not sure who else.
Id go with Maryland, Purdue, OSU as having a shot. It’s not a stretch for the “best” team not to win. It’s a grind. Witness MSU last year (a FF team) losing twice to IU. Illinois, IU, UM, PSU and Iowa come to mind as teams that may come to play and be a tough wins for anybody. Should be interesting but in my view easy to take the field. I’m on record for $50 charity - let’s roll. Big fan not eligible.
If I still win if MSU wins a share of the title I’ll do it. If it has to be outright, eh. Maryland could win it. Other teams may come out and surprise. Hey, we lost to a crappy IU team twice last year. You never know.
I recognize that Purdue won a Helms title but I certainly don't use it to prop up Purdue's history. And never have.
I’ll think about it but probably not. I’m kinda bullish on MSU and my hearts not in it. Shared title is a push and I’m in.
