I think Martin's major legacy will be his hiring of the football coach and the basketball coaches (Amaker and Beilein), which so far are quite mixed at best (not to mention the worst season ever in the history of M football in terms of losses and in basketball if not the worst, pretty close, last year).

But I think his worse legacy is his incredible dumbing down of the football schedule. So far, in consecutive years, Michigan has scheduled 2-3 MAC teams, Appalachian State, Delaware State, and actually lost to a number of these teams. To put these teams on the schedule of a major football power and major university like UM is plain insulting to the fans and players, and bespeaks of a completely afraid and wimpy attitude. What he's saying is that Michigan is too good and too afraid to travel to a real school, so we have to pay off poor sisters of the weak to come for an annual beatdown in Ann Arbor, and yet, so far App State and Toledo have beaten UM at the big house. And these are the years in which the B11 has been the weakest in decades. Intercollegiate competition that the fans want to see? Never heard of it.

Martin's legacy is just that. Let's hope for better scheduling from the next AD who will have nuts.

Bill Martin has done a great job. He did all he could to bring Les Miles to Michigan. Les Miles decided he wanted to stay at LSU.

Rich Rodriguez was a good hire. He just signed a really good recruiting class. He signed 2 excellent mobile quarterbacks. The Football team will be a much better team in 2009.

Michigan is doing a 23 million dollar renovation to Crisler Arena. When the renovations are done they will have a real basketball facility.

Go Wolverines!

The Halo was his predecessors fault. Bill Martin has done great things for facility construction and getting the athletic department out of the red ink and into profitability (which it wasn't when he came in). That being said, THUSFAR, his coaching selections have been left wanting, but much of that will depend on how Beilien and Rodriguez turn out. His legacy probably depends on it.

Martin has made mistake after mistake, from the "Halo" all the way to dropping the ball on Les Miles, and having to hire RichRod. The basketball team while doing better is still barely scraping by. Instead of "improving" Michigan Stadium was classic the way it was, they need to raze that shithole Chrysler arena and build a real basketball facility.
