Michigan Coach Kyle Whittingham’s Surprising Strategy: Why Hypothetical Wins Could Change Everything This Season
Now, Whittingham is preaching patience when it comes to the staff, per Nick Kosko of On3.
“Now’s the time of year where, you know, you’re seeing head coaches lose their jobs, play callers being demoted … I don’t think it’s time to panic,” Whittingham said. “We’re a play away from 6-1 or 7-0.”
Whittingham is correct. Michigan is a few plays away from being undefeated. In the loss to Iowa, had they stopped the final play of the game, they would have gotten the win. Against Indiana, two missed field goals were the difference in the game. Still, it could have gone the other way. Michigan got lucky against Western Michigan to start the year, winning on a late Hail Mary. They also won by one score against Oklahoma and Penn State. While Michigan could be 7-0 or 6-1, they could also be 1-6.
