If I had to compare them to an NFL team I would say they are like the Dallas Cowboys, in terms of expectations vs reality.

Michigan is what it is. A top 10-15 program. The Michigan fans that are disappointed are the ones who have expectations of being a top 5 program and that just isn’t going to happen anytime soon.

Yeah, it's a catch-22, because they do manage to amass wins each year, but they can't get over that hump and compete in the rivalry game. 9-10 wins a year is hard to pass up, especially considering some of the bad coaches and seasons we had prior to him being there.

I just get the feeling that they are stuck in a rut. That's more a symptom of CFB, though - you have the top 3 or 4 programs simply replacing talent with equal or better talent, and they stay at the top of the heap, and everyone else seems to gravitate to that second tier.

My biggest fear is that they grow impatient, run him out of town, and we hire another mismatch coach like Rich Rod. Lordy that stunk so bad.
