Numbers, Statistics and Lies: Michigan Edition

The one where I ignore the numbers and try to figure out what progress looks like this season.

I wrote something along these lines in the comments section of the post-game reaction thread, but I will repeat it here.

What is happening now with the football team feels a little bit like what the Nebraska women’s basketball team two seasons ago. Amy Williams had just been hired after Connie Yori resigned amidst allegations of mistreatment of players. The season started off badly with no offensive flow, defense that was better than the offense, but broke down at inopportune times. I watched and often remarked “This team should not be this bad.”

The team recorded a grand total of 8 wins that season. It was one of the worst in Husker women’s basketball history. I don’t know if Amy Williams walked into the program, sensed issues, and decided to burn it all down or if she tried a “hybrid” approach where new coaches try to adjust their system to the players they have and it didn’t work.
