This attitude is the reason Michigan will NOT win more than 9 games in any of the whole 3-at-most seasons that Harbaugh is there. Theyve ran off 2 good coaches who were failing for obvious reasons that are Michigan problems. Why do I say this? Simple. Rodriguez and Hoke have both been very successful at every place EXCEPT Michigan. And RichRod has now rebuilt a program since Michigan. There are problems with MICHIGAN right now. They are not coaching problems. A guy like Hoke doesnt come in and rebuild the worst defense intoa solid unit, lead the team to 11 wins and a bcs bowl win without being a good coach.

Eerily similar to our position with Bo don't you think? Their best defenses were both early in their respective careers at their last jobs, using the last coaches players. Does this mean Riley is doomed to fail before we play a game?

I'm not disagreeing with you.

But, I'm baffled as to what the issues are.

As you say, they have't hired "bad coaches". Over the last 8 years, their recruiting classes have averaged ranked 13.125 with 3 top ten classes and two more ranked 11 and 12. (per 247)

So, they have talent (at least highly rated out of HS.) They have good coaches.

So, what is missing?

 
Was Hoke very successful at every place except Michigan?
He left Ball St after getting them turned around and had a 12-1 season. Left San Diego St after turning them around and had a 9-4 season. Just never stayed anywhere long enough for any sustained success.
Prior to that 12-1 season he almost shocked the college football world by beating us at home but fell what, 40 yards short?
