Scruggs contacted as potential DL coach
From Sam Webb (I know, I know, people are down on the Michigan insiders right now).
Supposedly Moore has contacted Fickell about lifting Scruggs from Wisconsin.
From what I've heard about him, sounds like he's a good coach and a decent recruiter.

Hotwire Ford?
February 11th, 2024 at 5:28 PM ^
That's a sherrone guy. I'll guess the lb and DB coaches are gonna be wink guys.
Over on the edge of internet they're saying Jaden Smith is out of the class. Sucks because he looks good.
They're also saying Milroe to Michigan rumors are picking up.
February 11th, 2024 at 5:41 PM ^
Milroe to Michigan? When did this rumor start? Call me intrigued.
February 11th, 2024 at 6:07 PM ^
Agreed. Can you provide a source for said rumors?
February 11th, 2024 at 6:09 PM ^
Yeah OldSchool I am waiting for some more info from you too. I have seen this nowhere else. Link us bro.
February 11th, 2024 at 6:39 PM ^
I told you. Edge of the Internet. Which is that other board I won't name. See for yourself.
February 11th, 2024 at 6:14 PM ^
I saw a similar rumor over on the *cough* other board. Not sure if that's the source or not.
February 11th, 2024 at 5:42 PM ^
I am skeptical of Milroe rumors
February 11th, 2024 at 8:45 PM ^
Ethan Garbers would make more sense
Milroe also can’t transfer until the spring window
February 11th, 2024 at 5:49 PM ^
Jaden Smith announcement. Every coach he named is no longer at Michigan so it makes sense.

That board is manic over the loss of a 3 star recruit who hasn’t played a down. All of the sudden UM is going to lose a bunch of guys because one recruit left.
Also pretty sure that they are joking about Milroe.
February 11th, 2024 at 8:53 PM ^
I did like him as a recruit and think he will outperform his ranking, but the priority is keeping the current roster on board.
February 11th, 2024 at 11:07 PM ^
For him to not even wait and see who his position coach would be before spurning the defending national champions, tells you how not serious this kid is.
February 11th, 2024 at 6:14 PM ^
The Milroe thing is a joke lol
February 11th, 2024 at 6:41 PM ^
Well the Smith thing isn't and I wrote it above well before anyone posted it. They were right about that.
February 11th, 2024 at 11:16 PM ^
Is it though? No OC down there. New HC. He'd be a perfect fit for us.
February 12th, 2024 at 12:23 AM ^
We would actually be a pretty good fit for Milroe. He's not really a DeBoer kind of guy.
February 12th, 2024 at 1:12 AM ^
Milroe would be a good fit? Why? Serious question.
February 11th, 2024 at 5:28 PM ^
Didn't Webb at least get Wink right?
February 11th, 2024 at 5:47 PM ^
Do you mind summarizing what he got wrong recently? My heads been in the sand w weeks. Cant take the landslide of bad news.
February 11th, 2024 at 5:53 PM ^
I think Webb has been spot on. He said from the outset that Harbaugh would go hard after Herbert, Jay and Minter were gone, and Elston and Clink were probably gone unless something drastic changed. That's the way it ended up, with the exception of Clink flip-flopping after telling the team he was coming back. Ended up with the originally projected outcome.
February 11th, 2024 at 8:47 PM ^
Sam hasn't necessarily been wrong, he's just been saying things people didn't want to hear.
Like, he reported Clink had told the team he was staying - which apparently was right - but then also I believe was 1st to say Clink had a change of plans.
People are very into shooting the messenger right now!
February 12th, 2024 at 6:00 AM ^
I'm not an insider and knew the defensive staff was going with Harbaugh. It wasn't hard to see that coming
February 11th, 2024 at 5:29 PM ^
I would've had a Foggy Mountain Breakdown if we didn't get a DL coach quickly.
February 11th, 2024 at 5:47 PM ^
I see what you did there.
I love Foggy Mountain Breakdown. Someday I'm going to learn to play it.

Seems like a good hire, not a ton of experience but is an up and comer
February 11th, 2024 at 5:36 PM ^
Probably a better fit for this position than Boz Scaggs.
February 11th, 2024 at 5:47 PM ^
Is that "The Dirty Low Down" you're getting?
February 11th, 2024 at 5:48 PM ^
You ain't got to be so bad, got to be so cold.
February 11th, 2024 at 5:49 PM ^
Urban Cowboy soundtrack one of the best ever IMO. Songs fit in very well.
February 11th, 2024 at 5:40 PM ^
If Michigan hires Scruggs they need to hire some other guy named Flatt.
February 11th, 2024 at 9:15 PM ^
And bring Elly Mae Clampett with them.
February 11th, 2024 at 5:41 PM ^
Is there such a thing as a "good recruiter" any more? Or is it mostly just who has blank checks?
February 11th, 2024 at 8:19 PM ^
Yes, absolutely there is such a thing. I don't think it's all about the bag as a lot of people do. Yes, money is great but it's not everything to everyone.
I'm sure NIL has been a deciding factor for a lot of kids when all else is equal (Bryce Underwood?) but if you cannot connect with these kids and just expect to throw cash at them you're not gonna end up doing well in the long run.
Just ask A&M how the bag strategy works.
February 12th, 2024 at 5:01 AM ^
This guy signed 2 4 star dlinemen to Wisky this last cycle which is a big improvement for them...
I doubt they are any better at NIL check writing than UM.
February 11th, 2024 at 5:47 PM ^
Buster Scruggs! Sing us a ballad!
February 11th, 2024 at 5:58 PM ^
He's getting a nice raise one way or another. Good day to be Scruggs.
February 11th, 2024 at 6:31 PM ^
ha, small world! At a church event yesterday Coach Scruggs was the keynote speaker (https://stsusanna.org/superbowlsaturday/). I was also a speaker, so spent quite some time with him... he was absolutely fantastic. From beginning to end, everything about him was standup. After his talk I would have run through a brick wall if he had asked. I'm going to be rooting for him wherever he is, and if that's at Michigan, it's a whole lot easier.
February 11th, 2024 at 7:18 PM ^
Very much like the sound of this. Thanks for sharing. Might be a great hire for the Good Guys.
February 12th, 2024 at 12:20 AM ^
Did he offer you an NIL deal?
February 11th, 2024 at 7:39 PM ^
Why did you put (I know I know) after Sam Webbs name?
February 11th, 2024 at 10:12 PM ^
Sounds like this is a done deal, and if so a nice pickup given what's out there.
February 11th, 2024 at 10:23 PM ^
Didn’t Wisconsin get a D-lineman we were after last cycle?
