Whittingham will have them back to respectability eventually

Kyle Whittingham knows how to build and maintain a program, and did it at Utah with fewer resources.

I'd give him a mulligan for this season, since he didn't exactly inherit a veteran QB who fit his scheme (not counting Tommy Carr, since he's a true freshman), and the best QB on the team last year bolted for Stanford (7th year senior, Davis Warren).

He'll probably give OC Beck one more season to prove things.

That being said, the fanbase of Michigan is a lot less patient and tolerant than the Utah fanbase...
