Maybe? I’d rather have his dad back, but everyone else in his family is great at coaching: Jim, John, even Jack. So why not Jay?
I've seen enough Bring Jay home
This isn’t rocket science. Do what Dan Campbell has done numerous times when he started calling plays himself but didn’t fire the OC until the offseason.
Contract buyout for Michigan football OC Jason Beck is hefty freep.com/story/sports/colle…
Replying to @RealTonyGarcia
If we can’t fire him, how about we just take away his play calling duties. Replace him with someone else, but he gets to keep his coaching title.

Ari, with all due respect…don’t speak for Michigan fans. We’re literally upset that the OC is the most stubborn and incompetent person that has ever walked this earth and the head coach is completely fine with it. THE TEAM if it was coached properly and had even an average offense would be title contenders. Our anger has nothing to do with the TEAM.
Kyle Whittingham has to know he is coaching a bad football team. That's literally what Michigan fans are upset about. The takeaway from that isn't "wow, we're pretty good."

I’m not saying Sherrone Moore is a good person, but if he could’ve kept his personal struggles to himself and not destroyed team chemistry, even with a mediocre coach like him, Michigan would be better right now.
Sherrone Moore notoriously called 32 consecutive running plays to close out a 24-15 victory over No. 9 Penn State who had the #2 ranked defense in the country 😆 🤣 😂 Jason Beck called a QB Bootleg on 3rd and inches for a TD 😆 🤣 😂 They are not the same

Unless that’s in Ottawa Hills, it’s way overpriced, and if it is Ottawa Hills expect high property taxes that defeat the purpose of a rental.

Spot on.
That's literally not what Michigan fans are upset about Whittingham is correct - Michigan is a good football team. The issue isn't talent, it's really poor play calling on the offensive side of the ball. Week after week, Michigan fans watch a talented offense play like shit and waste a defensive effort that gives this team every opportunity to win. Good football team, bad coaching. That's what Michigan fans are upset about.

Would I say Larry Bird is a better basketball player than LeBron James? On paper, no. Would I take Larry Bird overLeBron James if I was building a team? Probably? He’s just a better fit in almost any lineup and meshes well with other stars.
Dan Patrick just said prime Larry Bird was better than LeBron and he meant it. The old debate is back on the floor. Do you put Bird over LeBron?
You’re half right. Michigan should give Bryce Underwood another shot. But you’re wrong about Tommy Carr. The real problem is Jason Beck. Get rid of him and let Bryce and Tommy split QB duties until one emerges as the clear winner.
I think they gotta give Bryce Underwood another try. The Carr kid is way worse.
I really hope Bryce Underwood sticks around next year. I know he’ll probably transfer, but he’s such a good teammate and Jason Beck has been so bad it’s hard to tell just how bad Underwood actually was.
how about Bryce Underwood being the first guy to go get Tommy Carr and tell him to pick his head up after the turnover

Exactly! I have no problem cleaning up after myself if I’m staying with a friend. But they don’t charge me for the room, let alone a cleaning fee to clean up after myself. So it’s not a fair comparison. They’re comparing apples and oranges.
All of the AirBnB drama boils down to the fact that hosts are running a >>norm arbitrage scheme to get better margin<<: Hosts deliberately conflate two sets of norms: 1) socially, you're a treasured friend/family who tidies up after himself. 2) commercially, you're a customer who paid for housekeeping. As a paying guest, you get the obligations of the first and the invoice of the second. It has always bugged me. No bueno.
My Twitter is filled with an odd mix of Jason Beck and Airbnb complaints right now.

But the answer is so simple: Fire Jason Beck. If he had done that sooner, Michigan is 7-0 and heading toward the CFP.

Bryce wasn’t the problem. Beck is the problem.

The worst part is if you just subtract Jason Beck from this team its an easy playoff team

Walter White owned a car wash and he did pretty well for himself.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but if Michigan hadn’t future fired Wards Manuel, he could fire Jason Beck right now. Michigan is literally going to lose a generational QB prospect this offseason because there’s no one in charge in Ann Arbor right now.
Jason Beck should have been canned after Minnesota, and Michigan decided to scapegoat Bryce Underwood instead. What will be the excuse this week?

I'm confused. Are Airbnb hosts angry because they now have to do the cleaning they're getting paid to do?

Airbnb owners are my favorite breed of “entrepreneurs” because they’re running service businesses but think they’re real estate moguls who discovered an infinite money glitch. Your customer base is shitting on you saying Airbnb host demands are insufferable. But instead of listening to the market they will just complain to daddy Airbnb about the mean guests (their paying customers) Marriott hotels for me 7 days a week and twice on Sundays.
its just bonkers the new policy @airbnb is trying to put in place. Putting the dishes in the dishwasher, taking out the trash, pulling the sheets off the bed....they are just standard things any normal person would do when staying at a house. Why wouldn't a host be allowed to say that?
