Poor guy, like both Domino's and Michigan Football, he's inheriting a job that insists on doing things the way it was done in the 1980's when it was successful, and is now so poorly positioned that virtually no reorganizing solution will allow them to catch back up.

1. Dave Brandon was highly controversial as an AD candidate.

Michigan had the luxury of choosing among three candidates who were experienced, successful Division I athletic directors with deep ties to Michigan. But President Coleman asked the committee to interview a fourth, less conventional candidate: Dave Brandon.

Because Coleman made it clear she wanted Brandon to be the next AD, one Regent asked why she didn’t just appoint him, but she insisted on having a search committee. The committee had trouble deciding who the most qualified candidate was, but not the least: Dave Brandon. More than one member of the search committee told more than one Regent that Brandon was the least impressive candidate on the list. Despite pushing back several times, the committee members finally acquiesced to Coleman’s wishes and picked Dave Brandon.

Have we short-changed Mary "i wasn't drunk at halftime" Coleman with our praise of the work of the Pizza man and GBYBMYMSOB?

* Dave Brandon wanted to pitch a 16 team Big Ten, but broken down in a way that would nuke the idea of an actual schedule. From the book: " ..Dave says, "I've got this great idea! Expand the Big Ten into 16 teams, eight a side, and break those down into groups of four, A, B, C and D, that just play each other. After the third game, you reshuffle the deck, and the top teams play each other, and the second teams play each other, and so on.". It was, surprise, not well received.

* Speaking of bad ideas, in the throes of Big Ten divisional realignment, Dave Brandon proposed that the Ohio State/Michigan game be occasionally moved to October, or in some cases, not played at all. He also proposed that Ohio State and Michigan be in different Big Ten divisions.

Jeebus..... why not just throw ping pong balls into a lottery machine and let pure chance determine who - and where - you play each week? I can see it now.... Every Sunday night the entire B1G tunes in to see where everyone will be playing next. tOSU playing Iowa at Rutgers? Done. Indiana and Northwestern playing in the Shoe? Brilliant! Sparty and scUM settling their differences in Lincoln, NE? Hell yeah.

I mean, we all knew that he was as dumb as they come in the executive ranks, but man...I don't think we realized he was THAT dumb to suggest not playing The Game! The B1G offices, as well as his, would have been burnt to the ground if that had happened.
