Report: Wheatley Out of the Running for WMU Position
I'm very glad we'll have him for at least one more season.
Source: Former UM star Tyrone Wheatley appears to be out of the running for the Western Michigan job.

"Source" is a former player, not recent, still involved with the team on occasion, said that Fisch and Wheatley's departure not unwelcome. He made a hand motion when he said that like he was shooing away something. Fisch wanted to have more input and call more plays. Didn't feel like he was involved enough. I asked if the running game wasn't developing, and he raised his eyebrows, said "Wellllllll..." and didn't want to say much more. I didn't press for more info and we moved on to talk about Spyniewski who was told when Harbaugh came in that he would not get a fifth year.

Is this why he's currently in Alabama having an in home visit with Nico Collins tonight? You should probably cite your sources if you truly have this insight.

Typically such a strong stance calls for some sort of proof or justification for the claim

We need Ty here for so many reasons. Please stay Mr. Wheatley.

Just to suggest that the dickholes on this blog who speak as if they have unnamed "sources" and haven't established themselves as credible folks like umbig11 should face the banhammer.

So what? The entire staff probably thought they had Wilson locked up. This entire board thought so. One last minute trip to Georgia changed months of ground work and leadership. You can blame the Wilson miss on things other than umbig11...
January 12th, 2017 at 9:42 PM ^
umbig11's sources are in the AD it appears. If the whole AD thinks that Najee Harris or Isaiah Wilson are locks, guess what's going to get passed along to umbig11 (and others). No one can read everyone's brains or know every opinion out there

you are always looking around making a mental checklist of assistants and coordinators you can potentially hire in the future. They don't just say, "Oh crap what do we do now? We better hire a firm to start an assistant coaching search!
