Oliver Martin...

...come home. Your coach is more interested in himself than winning. You deserve better.

 

[SpecialKHawk]

Can’t believe he left for that train wreck of a passing offense and program.

Not defending Jimmy, but KF has the same priorities.

Not defending Jimmy, but KF has the same priorities.

I disagree. I don’t think he always has the best plan to win, but I am positive it isn’t an ego problem

 

[theboat]

Did he redshirt this year?

I’m with you on this one.

 

[mopkins]

Martin is buried on that depth chart. He fell for the snake oil salesman. Sucks to be him.

I disagree. With all of KF shortcomings, ego is not one.

There's likely a few who will agree with you though.

No, I definitely don't think KF has an ego problem.

But I do think he puts his own comfort zone ahead of maximizing results. See recruiting, hiring BF, etc.

So, he runs into 8 man fronts repeatedly without success in front of 75,000 for 66 yards and he doesn't have an ego problem? The alternative reason is not flattering.

Agreed.

Kirk is a lot of things...especially stubborn when it comes to change. But it isn't because of his ego.

When a coach makes himself bigger than the program it just doesn't work. Let me just say this: Harbaugh=PJ Fleck.

He certainly could have given you what ISM did. I am not going to crush the kid on this . Iowa had an opportunity to seal the deal and they didn’t do it.

If Harbaugh would have done that in the 2nd half, Mich likely wins and B1G goes 8-0. Just saying.

Ultraconservatism and ego are very different things.

Harbaugh put the game on a qb who was struggling, when he has a good run game and great defense.

 

[1hawkeye1]

LSU ND game is LIT!!

 

[trj]

I think Harbaugh is a good coach, but it is hard to defend when the quarterback play is sooooo bad. If you are the quarterback whisperer then you have to make guys like Spieght and O’Korn decent.

 

[judzeehawk]

He can still turn to swimming.

It's amazing what a couple good players in your career can do for perception.

Eh, maybe. I thought Martin woulda been an easley-like slot receiver.

If that's what you thought, why sweat losing him? KF's teams always have the possession type wr's. It's playmakers they need / lack.
