It's not fair to the players to have to go into a bowl game with no coach at all. I don't think it's been handled wrong at all.
Brandon is doing his due diligence, taking his time, talking to as many possible coaches as he can and I trust him to make the right decision for the program. Not once has anyone from Michigan said: We went after such and such coach and then that shot us down. I haven't heard of a single offer being made to anyone, it's just been interviews. It's been all rumors and media speculation, most of it churned up from the most vile people on the planet; MSU and OSU slappies.
