Can we poach Northwestern's defensive coordinator?

As much as we can rightly poke fun at the many limitations and foibles of rival coaches (Franklin, Fleck, Allen, etc. are all most idiosyncratic eccentric people in life) there is one aspect that fans have to acknowledge: they can fire up their teams to play with a lot of heart - sometime it can turn a series, a quarter, a half or even a whole game. It is not going to be more important recruiting talent, developing that talent, and actual hard core X's and O's game planning and adjustment but it is a factor. 

This season is very odd and it is hard to assess many things but the overall perception is that the coaching staff can't get the team up for even one game. 

As it has been pointed out many times before. Those with experienced lines and skill position players often fared much better than those who did not. Indiana had a lot of experience this year. No spring practice, a short training camp, Covid rules was not the time for Michigan to break in 4 new O-linemen, a new QB and a young WR corps. 

The Michigan football excuse machine is always well oiled and running efficiently. 

Yes, but this lacks context. Not every conference, state, city, university or athletic department handled covid the exact same way. Some teams were absolutely more disadvantaged than others. The question is whether Michigan was one of those teams and, if so, how much grace should we extend to JH?

How many other teams legit lost their best player on offense and defense for the year because of the B1G cancelling the season early?

Maybe that one job.  

But otherwise, why leave NU?  He went 3-9 (1-8 in conference) last year and no one gave him a hard time.  He has job security other coaches dream of.  He's already in his 15th season now.

I could see him ultimately setting all kinds of Big Ten records and retiring with 200+ wins.
