@MVictors 79

ok, Mood????

@JoshNewkirk7 They did not

Michigan’s defense needs to show some life here.

@Clemson_Addict @joelklatt I am

@joelklatt He is 66. How long do they have him for? 5 years max? He may not even make it to a full cycle of his own recruited players. I think they got the best they gold with what’s available. But no way Michigan fans are thrilled about this hire.

Discipline Toughness Physical Love Winning Traits you want in your head coach…they also perfectly describe Kyle Whittingham Excellent hire

@Johnubacon Excellent!

Whittingham to Michigan is done. More info, from best sources: It will be announced this afternoon or tomorrow morning. Weather might stop an AA visit, but will meet team in Orlando. Short of a "George O'Leary to ND" style last second disaster, this is a done deal.

@GoBlueMelo PREACH!

Can we all agree that we’re happy Brian Kelly is not our Head Coach right now lol

@Utahpug @joelklatt bump

@joelklatt It would be great to see how Whitt would do with a team of 4 or 5 star recruits. Utah will never be able to get any of the recruits that Bama, Georgia, USC, LSU want

Kyle Whittingham...Top 5 Coach in our sport

@joelklatt Go blue!

@internetraj legit "laugh out loud"

Kyle Whittingham has a Sherrhorny Coefficient of 12.7x

@jeff82874662 @Jbooty88 Yes because he is a mega millionaire and has freedom to make decisions without fear to keep a job or owe anything to anyone.

@Jbooty88 Would he have the guts to clean house on the staff where we need major upgrades?

One thing that is continually overlooked and missed when talking about Biff Poggi as the potential next HC is his network. Notice how he joked with Saban on gameday earlier this year. That’s a real friendship. He is close with so many legends of the game, and his reputation alone would allow him to get on the phone with anyone he wanted. So comparing him to your every day interim HC that becomes HC is fully disingenuous. I absolutely believe Biff would be able to build a staff that is on par with many of the names so many michigan fans wanted to hire from the jump. And there is zero doubt in my mind he would put together a staff that is light years better than your avg “interim HC”. He is not just a nice guy that the players are comfortable with and trust. He’s far more than that. He has legitimate national respect across the football world. Again… Michigan shouldn’t *hand* him the job bc the players say so. They should (and have.. but should continue to) give him a genuine and full interview. And if he’s the best candidate, I think they should have zero reservations about naming him HC.

@Alex_Drain Whittingham

Who do you want Michigan to hire as head coach out of the currently available candidates?

@Underwood_szn No way in a million years

You guys aren't gonna like what I'm about to say Brian Kelly is the next best coach available.

@Misopogon Happy to not have a glorified grad assistant take over the helm.

Hope this means we got a coach, and weren't played by one.

@Alex_Drain Well-needed article. I hope people shout and share it from the mountain tops. It recently occured to me that the voters of the state of Michigan elect both MSU's board and UM's regents. What's the common thread...?

I wrote a thing about the Sherrone Moore scandal, the routine embarrassments of the University of Michigan Athletic Department, and the change needed so the university can give its students, players, and alumni the leadership they deserve. 🔗: ajdmeltingpot.substack.com/p/not-leaders-…

@SKORNACKI The second that jabroni from Barstool sports started using the "michigan man" thing, it's over. It just happens to have an alliteration. We/they need to think of something else (or just actually do actions louder than words for probably about 15 years in a row).

Should Wolverines Hire 'Michigan Man' or New Blood Football Coach? open.substack.com/pub/kornackiwo… #GoBlue #JeddFisch #SherroneMoore #JesseMinter #KalenDeBoer #KennyDillingham #BiffPoggi #FieldingHYost #BoSchembechler #JoelKlatt #ColinCowherd #DanOrlovsky

@Johnubacon It's fun to follow because it detracts from other nutso things in the world, but why does/would anyone think any of us shoud be privy to any of this?

Yep, what he said. i.e. Nobody Knows Anything.

@ArtButSports @RioGiancarlo @SeattleKraken @Deseret @NHL Absolutely outstanding

@WaffleStar3838 @Underwood_szn no, no no no no no no no no

@Underwood_szn It hurts my heart to say this but Brian Kelly? We are not discussing generational coaches

Are we cooking or are we cooked?

@Johnubacon The whole state needs to elect regents and board members at MSU and UM that hire presidents who hire athletic directors that set the right tone. Failures and controversy across multiple departments at both universities!

To expand this information: UM's external investigation, conducted by an independent white-shoe DC law firm, will include the entire athletic department over the past several years.
