I've listed this article for peer review because it's a good candidate for a Featured List nomination. Thanks. Jweiss11 (talk) 08:28, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with most of NMajdan's comments. On the ones where I have differing thoughts, my comments are noted below. Cbl62 (talk) 16:28, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's helpful for the reader who may look at the chart as an overall program history to see that there were a number of years in which there was no coach. Cbl62 (talk) 16:28, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I don't feel strongly on this one. I added the "statistical leaders" for ease of display and for the benefit of readers who may not be versed in sorting charts. Cbl62 (talk) 16:28, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is the "Profiles" section needed? All that can be seen by visiting the article of the coach. Some of these seem two short to justify a whole section. I have never been a fan of sections or paragraphs with only a couple sentences. The two sentences in the HoF Inductees section could be moved to the lead.
It's a matter of style. Many of the similar lists have a longish narrative section at the start without sections. My personal style preference is that (a) detailed information about each coach is available in their individual bios, but the idea here is to present a very short highlight summary on the major accomplishments of each coach giving the reader a broad overview, (b) sections help make the information more accessible and digestible, (c) I have no problem with short paragraphs, and if you look at major newspapers like the NYT and LAT, one and two sentence paragraphs are quite common, and (d) .

  • The last couple of sentences in RR's section need sources.
  • Move RR's picture up a few sections so it doesn't bleed into the references section. Also, I typically prefer to put the current coach's picture in the lead.
I absolutely hate having RR's pic at the top. He is the worst and most despised coach in the program's history. It makes me flinch to open the page and see that creepy smirk, spray-tanned face, and feaux hipster tweed sport jacket over black t-shirt. I much preferred having his face hidden down at the bottom of the article. (so much for concealing my feelings on the RichRod controversy) In the context of a list of Michigan football coaches, Yost, Schembechler and Crisler are at the top of the pyramid, and I'm inclined to have one of them be the lead image.

Thanks for chiming in here. Tell us how you really feel about Rodriguez! Jweiss11 (talk) 21:54, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think the article needs to be in those three Michigan Wolverines categories, just the most specific which would be the head football coaches one.

Hope that helps!»NMajdan·talk 18:54, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
