It's easy to say, "This is what you do after a bye week?"

But, considering the Wolverines objectively looked worse than they did in the loss against Washington, there should be plenty of concern about what's happening in practice during the week and how it's translating to the field.

The offense is beyond inept, the defense can only do so much to keep a team at bay before the wheels fall completely off.

With a game against Michigan State where the narrative is quickly shifting, there's zero room for error moving forward.

The honeymoon is beyond over. While Sherrone Moore's job isn't in doubt yet, no one should be considered safe as he diagnoses how to fix the program moving forward.

That means players, on-field and off-field staff, even analysts.

Moore needs to analyze the program from top to bottom and make the necessary changes. The status quo isn't good enough and cannot be explained away. If Moore wants to bring the program back, the difficult decisions need to be made moving forward.

Replacing a legendary head coach isn't easy but it's simply stunning how quickly things have plummeted.

If all three quarterbacks turn the ball over, can't lead drives and simply do not play good enough to win, what's the point of trotting out another guy out there at this point?

Replacing Tuttle is just putting lipstick on the proverbial pig, it's not going to make a difference and it gives the fans a different scapegoat and to point fingers.

The quarterback position needs to be addressed during the offseason and won't be fixed during the season.
