Mental and Mensa ... I like that.
Those two personalities together would be, shall we say, combustible.

Researching the Magic!
Look, I don't care what any of you say, I am absolutely terrified* of Simple Jim's football and coaching prowess, to the point that they are definitely turning the corner and will finally compete for a spot as B1G East Champions^, with many excellent seasons to come. The worst thingª would be them giving him a lifetime contract. I'm shaking in my boots over here at the thought of him coaching scUM until he retires!

Which is why I don’t care if they dump Hairball or not. He’s got them settled into a 9-3 or 9-4 pattern at this point, with a good portion of their fan base dreading the matchup when The Game comes around, but I think if they replace him it probably won’t get better. And it could possibly backfire into a couple of losing seasons.

Same.
There are no homerun hires out there for them. In 2007 and (more so) in 2011, Jim Harbaugh was out there and none of us wanted him up there because he had all the makings of being the coach to make them dangerous. Well, they got him in 2014 and he decidedly hasn't. Who's out there now? Urban Meyer? Never happening. (Obligatory) Les Miles? The guy sucked his last 5 years in Baton Rouge and is toiling away at a dead ass program in Lawrence, KS. Fickell? I mean, maybe there's enough money to lure him up there, but success at Cincy doesn't necessarily translate to a pressure-cooker like Ann Arbor. PJ Fleck? He's currently overseeing probably the worst team in the B1G. Who else is there? Brent Venables? I read his kids are at (or going to) Clemson, so I doubt he leaves that job yet, and doubtful he does for scUM.
I don't think he's going anywhere quite yet. Even if this season absolutely implodes, I bet he gets a COVID-pass. But, if they do surprisingly move on, there's a good chance they're wading into a job pool that includes Texas and USC. There aren't really any guys out there that look like the obvious "hot young hire." They start looking for a new HC in early 2021 and odds are they end up with another Hoke-ish hire.

They should have realized this after the 2015 Sparty game, when Rudock took the third down snap with 57 seconds on the running clock and 10 on the play clock. They could have hiked it at 48, just run a QB sneak, and then they probably would have had 4 seconds or less after taking a delay penalty. When you run a play instead of taking a knee, there’s a couple extra seconds before the refs start up the 40-second clock. Then, after having time to talk about it, they could have just thrown a ball out of bounds 30 yards upfield over the head of a receiver running up the sideline, and no punt would have been needed.
TTUN’s record against “Little Brother” after Bike Hart made that comment following the 2007 version:
4-9.

You kids stay off my lawn!
Can you think of a time when a coaching change didn't wipe out a recruiting class? I can think of two: 1. Fick worked hard to keep the 2010/2011 class 2. Day worked his ass off to save the class Urbs had recruited in 2018/2019. Hairball is the perfect example of what usually happens - his best year came with Hoke's recruits, but his own first class was a weak one at best.
