Brandon may be gone, but the arrogant, delusional, impatient fans remain. The expectation that things can simply turn around quickly because "this is Michigan" is the very mindset that scares away quality coaches. Every year, Michigan fans come up with a new savior. First it was Rich Rod, then it was "Tater Tot" Forcier, Denard "Arm Punt" Robinson, then Hokemania, the Devin Gardner, then Shane Morris, then Nussmeier, and on, and on, and on.

The bottom line is the turnaround isn't going to be quick and it isn't going to be easy. And any coach with the name that Michigan fans want knows that and also knows the fans won't give him enough time to make those changes before they turn on him. That's how you ended up with Hoke in the first place.

The ONLY one who may be genuinely interested in the job is Les Miles and there are too many powerful people associated with the athletic department who won't let that happen because they don't forgive him for being the catalyst of Gary Moeller's drunken tirade that got him fired after Miles allegedly slept with Moeller's wife.

Common sense says cross off anyone named Harbaugh or Gruden from the list. Common sense says give whoever the new coach is time to develop a program ala what Dantonio has achieved at MSU. Common sense isn't very common in the UM fanbase these days.

As a Spartan, I love every second of it.
