   Bryce Starting, Tommy Carr Emerging? / Michigan Wolverines LIVE 271

   Michigan Wolverines LIVE 271 Hosts: John D’Adamo & TJ Ronan Presented by: FanDuel Guest: Marty Leap (Penn State Nittany Lions / Voice of College Football) Focus: Post-bye week outlook, Kyle Whittingham press conference, Bryce Underwood still starting vs. Tommy Carr emerging, broader team issues, and Michigan–Penn State preview. Show context: Results phase after the bye. Fan base largely agrees things must improve regardless of QB stance. Oklahoma win noted as a quality result, but overall performance and record create urgency. Special note that Michelle is out of town and John will be out next week; regular schedule returns afterward. Marty Leap joins later for the Penn State breakdown. Opening & Early Super Chats (~02:20–09:00) Welcome and standard calls to like, subscribe, share, and use Super Chat. TJ frames the moment as “result time.” Fan base is frustrated; the staff and players need to step up. Oklahoma win has value even if the record limits its impact. Super chats touch on Sprague’s absence, Babalola returning to practice sooner, and Witt not buying into Michigan traditions/rivalries/Big Ten style. Quinn’s comment that it’s time to shop for a new coach is noted; hosts say red flags are piling up but started earlier. Brief basketball (Mike Boyden, depth, free throws, freshmen) and hockey (dominant, need to beat Denver, “natty or bust”) side discussion. Hosts urge patience until later in the season before setting expectations. Super Chat on Bryce: “If Bryce sucks again, Whit better bench him.” Hosts agree Indiana should not beat Tommy Carr’s first start and will address how the QB situation is likely to play out. Kyle Whittingham Press Conference & QB Situation (~09:40–~18:00 and continuing) Press conference clip highlights (Whittingham): Emphasizes ball security and turnovers: if the turnover problem is not fixed rapidly, “something’s got to give.” On Bryce Underwood: 6’4”, 230, runs like the wind, strong arm, year of experience plus five games this year. Staff still feels he gives the best chance to win at this point. Hosts’ analysis (primarily TJ, with John): Bryce remains the starter for Penn State. Many expected Tommy Carr to get the Penn State game; instead Bryce gets at least the start/beginning. Runway is no longer infinite. TJ sees Whittingham laying groundwork for Tommy Carr if Bryce does not perform. Tommy Carr received ~50% of snaps during the bye week (Whittingham called it by design). Hosts are skeptical this was purely standard bye-week backup work; it looks like an active evaluation/competition. Tommy’s name was mentioned among players who stood out in the bye (along with others, notably not Underwood). Bryce has a roughly two-game window (Penn State and Indiana). If he does not play at the level Michigan needs and show consistent improvement/cleaner football, Tommy comes in—even mid-game against Indiana if they are getting smoked. Good news framing: Fans will get one of two outcomes soon—Bryce improves and everyone wins, or Tommy gets the opportunity. Portal shopping remains a longer-term reality if neither works. John notes a caller’s prediction that Bryce starts vs. Penn State, looks good enough to keep the job, Michigan squeaks by, then Indiana crushes them and Tommy is inserted in a worse spot. TJ stresses Bryce should get the chance to respond (he responded after prior struggles) but does not get an unlimited leash. He is not a “forever Bryce” guy; patience is limited to confirming whether it can click. Key quote / takeaway: “If Bryce does not play at a level that is what Michigan needs out of its quarterback… I do see Tommy Carr coming in… A change at quarterback is very, very close.” Tommy Carr’s opportunity is “soon.” Broader Team Problems (Bigger Than Just the QB) (~18:00–~32:00) TJ argues the QB is not the sole issue and the simple “change the quarterback” answer is incomplete: Coaching staff is a problem (not out yet, but red flags mounting). Special teams are a problem. Running game is a problem (ranked in the 120s; not solely because of Bryce—box has been loaded for years). Penalties are a major issue (one of the most penalized teams offensively; many line penalties—primarily on Harding and the line). Offense ranked ~115th; schematic and execution issues beyond the QB. Jason Beck is limiting the offense (half-field reads prominent; using Rhino packages to create them). Last year’s offense had more explosiveness/deep balls. Beck has not fully adapted to the personnel (O-line used to power/Sharon-style run game, not zone/Hogan Hanson stretch blocking). He is stuck on Rhino even while shifting somewhat toward 11 personnel. Offensive line is okay in pass pro (often near max protection with extra blockers) but run blocking has been poor. Not playing elite or even really good. Situational play-calling consistency is lacking (better first-half creativity/flea-flickers/wildcat at times; second half goes flat and horizontal). Loss to Minnesota (first since 2014 under Hoke) and overall standard (should be competing with Ohio State/Georgia for 10–11 wins and playoff contention) make the urgency real. On the coaching staff / Whittingham: Whittingham said not much is changing; focus on what has worked and don’t panic over “one or two setbacks.” Hosts push back—offense ranked in the hundreds is more than a couple of setbacks; there are schematic issues. Some hope for gamesmanship (not tipping hand vs. Penn State). Whittingham’s stoic/composed approach in chaos is noted; some want more visible fire (comparisons to DeBoer, Cignetti, Saban, Harbaugh, Kirby Smart’s leaked “fuck the scoreboard… fuck these bitches up” speech). Punt returner change: Marsh is out at the position (inconsistent, muffs, bad decisions). Whittingham attributed it to injury; hosts call that misleading and prefer a direct explanation. New returner not announced. TJ’s bottom line on the next two games: If Bryce plays at a Minnesota level again, TJ joins the “bench him” crowd. But throwing Tommy in against Indiana is not ideal; a controlled look would be better. If Bryce struggles and the running game, penalties, and sloppiness continue, the focus shifts harder to Beck and Harding. Penn State Preview with Marty Leap (~1:44:00 onward) Marty joins for keys and prediction. Discussion covers both programs’ coaching situations (Campbell vs. Franklin historical comparison, fan-base patience, personality fit in central Pennsylvania, three coaches in ~70 years at Penn State). Marty’s keys & outlook: Defense: Contain Bryce Underwood’s legs. Penn State has generated a lot of pressure (high QB pressures, fewer sacks) but has not finished. Rushing up the pocket and allowing Underwood to escape into cleared space is dangerous. QB run has hurt them (Temple, Wisconsin). Injuries (e.g., Max Granville, Achilles) have hurt the pass rush. Offense: What version of Rocco Becht shows up? Better vs. USC (21/32, 289, TD) but still hesitant, bails early, underthrows deep balls that were open (missed potential game-icing throws to Eskildson). Can’t rely on the run game. Prediction: Ugly, low-scoring defensive battle. Michigan wins 15-13 or 12-10 type score at home. Not a fun watch for neutrals. Marty is not picking Penn State until they prove they can win again after the recent stretch. TJ / John keys: Michigan’s offense must execute against Penn State’s defense; Bryce must play well. If Bryce struggles and Michigan’s defense holds, Tommy enters. Turnover margin is critical: Michigan ~116th (negative margin); Penn State ~15th (+5). Whittingham said the margin must improve or something has to give. Winning the turnover battle + solid Bryce play + offense executing = Michigan win. Special teams (kickoff coverage, punt return) must improve—Penn State has a dynamic returner in Zay Robinson (strong averages, multiple long returns). Michigan ranks near the bottom in opponent kickoff returns. Michigan needs disciplined football (limit penalties); Penn State should try to force undisciplined play (jumping offsides, gimmicks). Predictions: Marty: Michigan 15-13 / 12-10 range, ugly. TJ: Michigan 19. John: Michigan 13, Penn State 9. All see a low-scoring defensive slugfest; Big House is a slight edge. Marty notes the Big House has historically been a house of horrors for Penn State (blowouts, few wins outside COVID year). He promotes Penn State VOCFB content (X: MartyL_53; weekly live postgame + midweek videos). Closing Super Chats & Wrap (~2:00–end) Discussion of coaching fire/passion (DeBoer, Cignetti, Kirby, Harbaugh). Personnel vs. scheme on the O-line; calls for more power/duo/inside zone that the line is used to. Beck has made some adjustments but still leans on wildcat/jet elements that stagnate. Recruiting/portal outlook: O-line is a must; other positions (tight end, corner, QB) likely addressed. High-school class is small. Reminder of Thursday call-in show and Saturday postgame. Final call: Figure it out and perform. “Go Blue and fuck Ohio.” Overall takeaway: Bryce Underwood starts vs. Penn State with a short leash (roughly two games). Tommy Carr is being prepped and is close if Bryce does not improve. Hosts see larger issues (Beck’s scheme/adaptation, O-line run blocking, penalties, special teams, coaching consistency) that a QB change alone will not fix. Penn State game is expected to be an ugly, low-scoring defensive battle decided by turnovers, discipline, and whether Bryce can play cleanly enough. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

   The Great QB Debate - Michigan Wolverines Call-in Show LIVE 108

   Michigan is on a bye after the Minnesota loss, and the fan base is split roughly 70-30. TJ Ronin and Johnny Olden spent the show on Kyle Whittingham, Jason Beck, the penalty problem, and whether Bryce Underwood still gets the ball coming out of the bye. Show setup Hosts: TJ Ronin and Johnny Olden Jr. MichiganVOCFB call-in, episode 108. Bye week, no game to grade. TJ frames the room as angry and divided, about 70-30, and says the Bryce Underwood–Tommy Carr debate is the live topic. Second hour is tied to Super Chats and memberships. FanDuel read is Lions -5.5 vs. Arizona; both take Detroit, with a nod to Drew Petzing knowing the Cardinals. Kyle Whittingham: Johnny is out ~4:10–6:15. Johnny is done with Whittingham. He says Whittingham was pushed toward a figurehead role at Utah, has no fire or attention to detail, and cannot coach week to week in the Big Ten. Western Michigan was a fight: undisciplined, penalties stacked, offense abysmal. Scheme complaint lands on Beck too. Johnny wants downhill runs with the two bruiser backs, not Rhino/read-option stuff that forces Underwood to read everything. Whittingham, as CEO, should have killed that weeks ago. Johnny does not care about the Utah résumé. “What have you done for me lately?” TJ is concerned, not out ~8:35–10:20. TJ agrees on the red flags: slow starts, no juice, 10–12 men, penalties. He says this is the most penalized Michigan team of the decade. He is not firing Whittingham yet. His read is that Whittingham trusted the defense (playoff-caliber under Jay Hill) and let Beck run the offense, and the bye is when real changes should show. Kerry Combs, Beck, and Whittingham all concern him. The line that sticks: Whittingham in Week 5 saying he does not have an answer, and calling this the biggest challenge of his career despite the most talent he has had. ~11:00–13:20. Johnny does not buy the “we’ll get it fixed, I don’t know how long” answer. Buyout talk lands around $20–25 million. TJ says Michigan already paid a roughly $30 million bill and will pay this one if the losses pile up (Penn State, Michigan State, Ohio State, on top of Minnesota). Johnny’s picture: lame-duck year, then out if it gets bad enough. Penalty numbers ~14:30–15:10. TJ’s on-air look-up: 2026 is at 7.6 penalties and 66.4 penalty yards per game. Closest recent comp is the 2020 COVID year at 5.6 penalties per game, about two fewer flags and 20 fewer yards. That is the cleanest “this staff is not the disciplined Utah brand” stat on the show. The QB debate Johnny on Underwood (~16:30–19:10): Cannot read the field. Locks on the first receiver. Fine early if he gets in a groove; once it goes bad or the game is on him, he regresses fast. Iowa was the exception because Iowa does not change much. Minnesota’s last two drives were the break for Johnny: locked on, threw into double and triple coverage, and on the last play faked a read, flipped his body, and chucked it. Johnny says the delayed tight end was open. PJ Fleck’s timeout saved an earlier interception into triple coverage, and Underwood came back and did the same thing. TJ’s counter (~21:10–27:30): Do not burn the season off two bad games. Western Michigan and Minnesota were unacceptable. Oklahoma, UTEP, and Iowa were usable data points, and the 70 percent was quiet then. Underwood was not the only regression vs. Minnesota. Andrew Marsh is scared to return punts. Whole offense is broken, which is why TJ wants Beck addressed. Fan anger is cumulative, plus expectations were higher. Winning covers ugly quarterback lines; losing does not. He cites the old USC win with Alex Orji barely throwing. Zach Marshall leak (~23:50–25:30): Johnny is not surprised. He had been in Marshall’s TikTok live two weeks earlier; Marshall agreed Beck was a problem. Johnny says some of the leaked complaints are fair, but Marshall trusted the wrong person. Three outcomes: team crumbles, stays inconsistent, or the leak forces coaches and players onto the same page. Build the offense around the quarterback you actually start. TJ’s plan out of the bye (~26:35–31:00): Underwood starts. Two-game leash: Penn State, then Indiana. He does not want Tommy Carr’s first start to be Curt Cignetti. If Underwood lays another Western Michigan, the hand is forced even inside that window. No playoff urgency. Do not rush the decision on a Friday of the bye. Johnny’s counter: The rest of the schedule is hard. Waiting means Carr still debuts into Penn State, Michigan State, Rutgers types who have not beaten Michigan in a while and smell blood. If you are going to start him, give him first-team reps these two weeks and build the offense to him. TJ hates taking reps from the starter you claim you are still developing. Later-hour final thoughts The back half (from ~2:07) is a panel, not just TJ and Johnny. Ben: Start the Carr clock. Staying with Underwood looks like 7-5 or 6-6. Carr might not be better, but there is a chance. TJ grants the development-clock argument and notes the locker room is still behind Underwood. Keith: Bowl eligibility is in doubt. He can see four or five more losses with Underwood. Best arm on the roster, not the IQ for a Big Ten job. Western Michigan throw is the proof of the arm. BW: Foundation over the quarterback soap opera. Clean up penalties, scheme better, run for 200. He thinks it is scheme and details, not “wrong players.” Did not sign up for a Utah-style fade. Two darker notes: how the Underwood recruitment went down, and the coaching fit. Defense credit (~2:12): Jay Hill has the defense sixth nationally and playing elite. Nobody is talking about it because the offense is wasting it. 2027 framing: One voice wants Carr now so Michigan knows whether it needs a portal quarterback. Staff is likely having that exact bye-week talk, and pulling Underwood is on the table because the coaches are taking heat. Dampier comes up as a name; the panel is already skeptical. Counter: a competent quarterback should lighten the box. Johnny’s better argument is that even when Michigan could run last year, Underwood still could not read pressure, and this year’s run scheme does not fit the backs. One-dimensional became zero-dimensional. Johnny’s close (~2:16): Blame Underwood or Beck if you want. The number one problem is Whittingham. He would not fire him today. Lame duck through the year, top three ready (Jay Hill, “Dilly,” whoever), new coach the moment the season ends. The fan-base kill shot is losing to Ohio State. They already lost the Little Brown Jug; last Minnesota loss of that jug was 1977. TJ’s close: Another week before anyone knows if the run game, the flags, the personnel, or Underwood actually moved. Most talent Whittingham has had, and he is botching it. Sideline color that stuck Big Ten basketball media day question to Elliot Cadeau and Trey McKinney: do they feel pressure to pick up for football? Hosts treat that as rock bottom. Rivals “feeling bad” is not to be trusted. No guaranteed wins left. Western Michigan should have been a loss. Sparty may have the better quarterback. Someone floats Jonathan Smith as a better scheme fit. Underwood as captain: hosts say they never see him settle the offensive line or lift the sideline. He smiles and talks to nobody when it is bad. Nobody on the show can remember a sideline shot of Whittingham talking to Underwood, or inspiring any position group. Johnny calls that weird for a head coach and a quarterback. Theory floated: Underwood is not Whittingham’s guy, and a $12 million collective decision may be above the coach’s head. TJ thinks any “you can’t bench him” order is fading. Whittingham told Underwood in Florida he was the guy. Harbaugh never really recruited Underwood. Panel splits on whether that was NIL timing or Harbaugh seeing something. Whittingham publicly said it is not only Bryce and not only Beck. TJ’s read: he is saying everything is broken, including the quarterback, in political language. Clip timestamps 4:12–6:18. Johnny: “I’m out on Witt.” Utah figurehead, no fire, Western Michigan as the evidence. 9:00–10:30. TJ: most penalized Michigan team of the decade, but not ready to fire him. Combs, Beck, Whittingham all concern him. 14:34–15:08. Penalty stat: 7.6 flags and 66.4 yards per game vs. 5.6 in 2020. 16:29–19:05. Johnny on Underwood’s locks, the Fleck timeout, and the last-play fake read. 26:37–28:20. TJ’s two-game leash: Penn State and Indiana, then Carr if it is still broken. 2:12:00–2:12:35. Jay Hill and a top-six defense nobody is crediting. 2:16:42–2:17:50. Johnny: Whittingham is the problem. Lame duck, then a pre-loaded hire. 2:18:35–2:19:00. Little Brown Jug. Last time was 1977. 2:23:00–2:24:45. “Have you ever seen Witt and Bryce talk?” Where they landed Johnny is out on Whittingham as the head coach and leaning toward starting Carr’s clock, but he would let Whittingham finish as a lame duck. TJ still wants Underwood out of the bye on a short leash and thinks the bye is the first fair window for scheme fixes. Both agree Minnesota was not good enough, the penalty profile is historically bad for this decade, and the defense is the only unit playing like the preseason pitch. No one on the show thinks the season is fixed until Penn State shows something. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

   Start The Carr? / Michigan Wolverines LIVE 270 Part 2

   Start The Carr? — Michigan Wolverines LIVE 270, Part 2. Hosts John D’Adamo and TJ Ronin. Bye-week debate on Bryce Underwood’s runway, Tommy Carr, Jason Beck, Kyle Whittingham’s buyout, and the Chip Lindsey reporting. Core take TJ is in the minority (~30%) that wants one more look at Bryce after the Minnesota regression before flipping to Tommy Carr. He is not defending sustained poor play. His line: either Bryce responds, or Tommy starts — and that fork is close. John and chat lean toward the change now. They agree the defense should not be thrown out with the offense. Segment notes Protect Tommy’s development (0:00–2:10) TJ argues Michigan should ease Tommy in the same way he wanted Bryce eased last year. The “microwave” demand for instant results blew that up. He tells chat disagreement is fine; insults, misinformation accusations, and personal attacks are not. He frames his confidence as pattern recognition from consulting work, not emotion, and says he has no problem being against roughly 70% of the fan base on this take. Clip: 0:10–0:31 — “Protect Tommy’s development… we just fast-forwarded through that because we’re a microwave society.” Sherrone “romance” super chat (2:13–4:46) Adam Lamparello jokes the real story is romance and a redemption arc for Sherrone Moore. Hosts push back: the fan base was miserable under Sherrone (“goldfish memory”), and calling him back is not a plan. Side note that his wife stayed loyal. Whittingham’s buyout is floated at $5 million — “not financially tied” — with the caveat they can cut bait. They do not want to lose the defense; if the scheme fails, hire a more pro-style OC. Chip Kelly as OC next to Jay Hill is the hypothetical. OC history named: Josh Gattis, Kirk Campbell, Matt Weiss. Clip: 3:03–3:24 — “Goldfish memory… you were miserable with Sherrone… Whittingham’s buyout’s only five million.” Titanic / don’t open Christmas early (4:49–7:20) Chat calls TJ the guy on a deck chair on the Titanic. He runs with it: fan base jumping lifeboats with Tommy Carr’s face on them while the band plays. Counter: Rome wasn’t built in a day; Harbaugh took seven years and a chunk of the fan base was out on him before the title. Christmas-present frame — Tommy is the gift under the tree. Open it too early and you lose the surprise. Best case is Bryce figures it out and you still get a Tommy year later. Worst case, the Tommy season comes anyway. Clip: 4:49–5:27 — Titanic / lifeboats with Tommy’s face. Clip: 6:22–6:45 — “If you allow a little time… Bryce does figure it out… if it doesn’t, you get your Tommy Carr season.” Why no portal QB (7:21–8:19) TJ: portal QBs were scared off by Bryce’s NIL, and Bryce was given the keys. With a guaranteed starter, Fowler-Nicolosi was about the ceiling of what they could land. Not a real open competition this offseason. The Penn State deal (8:40–10:35) TJ’s public offer: if Bryce’s first half against Penn State looks like the second half against Minnesota, the staff makes the change. Leash is short. Outcome is binary — Bryce figures it out, or Tommy starts. He is not arguing for an endless runway if the Minnesota version continues. He wants the response to the regression, with training wheels off. Clip: 9:06–9:29 — “If Bryce plays the first half against Penn State like the second half against Minnesota… the coaching staff is going to make that change… either Bryce figuring it out or Tommy Carr starting.” Chase Herbstreit / Carr hype (11:00–12:44) Chase is not the answer unless they’re up big; arm talent isn’t there (spring game). Conspiracy jokes that he’s a Ryan Day “spy” get laughed off — he’s here for a better deal and a broadcast path. Tommy hype is amplified by the CJ Carr legacy and by how he’s looked in limited snaps (spring, UTEP). TJ: reasonable belief he could be more consistent, but not enough evidence yet. Juice, Chip Kelly, Michigan Metal (12:45–15:20) TJ wants more fire from Whittingham; slow starts and lack of juice bother him. Chip Kelly as 2027 head coach is a no — he doesn’t recruit, and his own comments suggest he doesn’t want another HC job. Michigan is not a “linear” landing spot anyway. Shout-out to Michigan Metal (@Michigan_metal) for All-22 and for pushing back on Connor Stalions. Frame for the show: town square, debate ideas, answers will reveal themselves. Utah OC aside (16:51–17:40) Who called the Utah offense that hung ~50 on Ohio State? Andy Ludwig. Long OC résumé (Utah, Vanderbilt, Wisconsin, San Diego State, Cal); he later stepped down. Buyout correction (18:26–20:46) Steve asks who they’d hire if Whittingham has to go if there’s no improvement. TJ first says zero chance he’s fired. They reconcile the numbers: ~$5 million if he’s poached; if fired without cause he’s owed 75% of remaining base salary — about $24.75 million if fired this year. That is not happening. Other reasons to stay put: defense is the strength, this is mostly an offense problem, board of regents turnover, AD change, new president in about two months. New AD will want a year to evaluate. Best realistic move is an OC change, and even that is uncertain because Whittingham pulled Beck and company out of good situations and they followed him. Clip: 19:30–20:08 — Fired without cause ≈ $24.75 million. “That’s not happening… the defense is great… it’s an offense issue.” Poll: who’s the problem? (22:08–23:42) 252 votes. Jason Beck 40%, Bryce Underwood 37%, Kyle Whittingham 12%, run game 11%. About 63% say the biggest issue is not Bryce. Hosts: fan base wants a pound of flesh; TJ isn’t there, but the frustration is real. Christmas-present closer again. Chip Lindsey reporting (23:43–26:56) Wolverine notes Chip Lindsey was paid $750K to leave (hosts assume Mizzou covered it). TJ shares what he was told over the summer: concepts practiced during the week never got called on Saturday, including Donovan Edwards in the passing game. Frustration from players and staff. Chip was technically QB coach, but day-to-day work with Bryce sat with a coach transcribed as Synagoga. Sherrone reportedly did not want Chip working directly with Bryce while they fought over whose plays got called. TJ stresses he is not Sam Webb or Balas — occasional group-chat info, not a daily pipeline, and he will not burn sources. Clip: 24:14–24:47 — “They would run plays and concepts during the week and they would never see the light of day on Saturday… Donovan Edwards not being utilized in the passing game.” Donors and close (27:00–32:26) TJ: donors are frustrated after the Minnesota loss — unsurprising. No specific Underwood-donor chatter beyond that. Sign-off: Thursday show at 8 p.m. Eastern. Next Michigan Monday moves to Monday at 8 p.m. Eastern because of John’s Vegas trip (not Tuesday); Michelle can’t make that one. Community post coming. TJ will own it if Tommy gets the job and is the answer. Closing rant on Ohio State fans and Dave Portnoy being bounced from Fox — “Fuck Ohio.” Go Blue. Quick hits Position: one more response game for Bryce, then the change is on the table. Not a defense of repeated Minnesota-level play. Portal: Bryce’s NIL and a promised starting job killed real QB competition. Fowler-Nicolosi was the realistic add. Staff heat: Beck leads the fan poll (40%). Whittingham buyout if fired without cause is ~$24.75M, so an in-season firing is a non-starter. OC swap is the only live lever, and loyalty cuts against it. Reporting: Lindsey was handcuffed on Saturday calls; Edwards’ passing role was practiced and not used; Sherrone didn’t want Lindsey on Bryce day to day. Schedule: Thursday 8 p.m. ET; next week’s show is Monday 8 p.m. ET, not Tuesday.
