from analyst to QB coach. this probably makes JJ happy. hopeully Davis too.
congrats coach Campbell.
January 27th, 2023 at 3:37 PM ^
Don't let the NCAA learn that an analyst will be coaching!
Some might respond that this situation has different facts, and they'd be correct.
But when has the NCAA let facts get in the way?
January 27th, 2023 at 3:46 PM ^
It becomes an even larger quagmire when you get accused of lying - be careful out there
January 27th, 2023 at 3:51 PM ^
If you're also having a burger, or two, the NCAA might give the school the death penalty!
January 27th, 2023 at 3:58 PM ^
We all know the NCAA loves to go after nothing burgers.
January 27th, 2023 at 4:06 PM ^
Jug should collab with Harbaugh and make a "JH Nothingburger"
January 27th, 2023 at 4:28 PM ^
I would buy this and have it shipped to me in VA.
January 28th, 2023 at 6:13 AM ^
Everyone knows the death penalty requires stretching, AND cream cheese on bagels.
January 27th, 2023 at 4:14 PM ^
Gotta think given how close the McCarthy's and Davis's are, that if JJ really likes Campbell then it's good news on the Davis front. But maybe that's just wishful thinking
January 27th, 2023 at 3:25 PM ^
Nice. I’ve heard some rumblings about Josh Gattis and Billy Packer. I wonder what’s going on.
January 27th, 2023 at 3:30 PM ^
lol ain't no way Gattis is coming back to Michigan
January 27th, 2023 at 3:35 PM ^
Lol ain’t no way Bill Packer is coming back to Michigan
January 27th, 2023 at 4:04 PM ^
I mean there is,"literally" no way!
January 27th, 2023 at 6:59 PM ^
Are you sure his final resting place won't be in Michigan?
January 27th, 2023 at 4:10 PM ^
It's more likely someone else named Billy Packer than the Josh Gattis we know.
Was that a stylesheet violation? The Josh Gattis is getting flagged.
January 28th, 2023 at 9:35 AM ^
Really? I heard he was going to call a game with Keith Jackson next year.
January 27th, 2023 at 3:51 PM ^
I promise you the bridge between Gattis and Michigan has been mutually burned.
January 27th, 2023 at 3:26 PM ^
Congrats to Coach Campbell!! Thanks for the explanation that he was promoted from analyst. I thought that was the case but I am not as clued in to all of the prospective candidates (beyond Griese, Brady, Roman and Martin).
January 27th, 2023 at 3:26 PM ^
I see the analyst to coach transition. Anybody have insight on his background further than his time at Michigan? I did a quick google but didn't see anything about his history.
January 27th, 2023 at 3:33 PM ^
This is the University's announcement - gives his background. former OC and QB coach at ODU
January 27th, 2023 at 3:38 PM ^
Also a former analyst at Penn St. for 3 years before his stretch at ODU.
Before that he was the offensive coordinator at Division II Alderson Broaddus University for five seasons.
January 27th, 2023 at 4:00 PM ^
Alderson Broaddus University...was that founded by Snoop Dogg's dad?
January 27th, 2023 at 4:31 PM ^
ODU, you say... There was a brief period of time several years back where ODU was actually pretty good at football. I wonder if Coach Campbell's time at ODU coincides with that period of good football?
January 27th, 2023 at 5:49 PM ^
Did not know this. That is some old school option football. This is the direction I hope Michigan goes in. Double down on the run. Michigan doesn't need an OSU pass game coordinator. Michigan needs to lean heavier into what they are already doing. Start recruiting more athletes to play QB. Rotate them like running back. Watch what Tony Annese and Ferris State do. Denard Robinson was all set to play CB for Urban Meyer and Florida until Michigan offered him the opportunity to play QB. Usually the best athlete on the team in high school plays QB. Most won't end up playing QB in college. A lot might pass up an NIL deal to name your SEC school to play up north if its under center. I really hope this is where Michigan is headed.
January 27th, 2023 at 3:28 PM ^
Isn’t that a photo of Jesse Minter?
January 27th, 2023 at 3:49 PM ^
Looks to me more like Matt Weiss.
January 27th, 2023 at 3:58 PM ^
Looks like Seth to me.
I figured it was a matter of time before the MGoStaff completed its infiltration of the program.
January 27th, 2023 at 4:35 PM ^
yeah, was weiss really that big of an asset that the program would throw sunglasses on him and hire "kirk campbell"?
January 27th, 2023 at 4:29 PM ^
Looks a bit like Matt Weiss too..
January 27th, 2023 at 3:28 PM ^
OK.
But how good are his computer hacking skills?
January 27th, 2023 at 3:31 PM ^
Michigan fans only want coaches that have great skills!!
January 27th, 2023 at 3:32 PM ^
Good enough to not be caught… yet.
January 27th, 2023 at 3:45 PM ^
See for yourself
January 27th, 2023 at 3:36 PM ^
I'll trust Harbaugh on this one. Hopefully he has some recruiting chops.
January 27th, 2023 at 4:14 PM ^
I listened to that whole thing expecting some death metal riffs to break out at some point...but it never did.
January 27th, 2023 at 3:48 PM ^
JH has a pretty darn good batting average on assistants so I'm sure it will turn out ok but I'm underwhelmed. Tee Martin was my first choice. Bringing back CP and shuffling the staff to accommodate was a close second.
I'm sure Coach Campbell will do fine but I felt this was a golden opportunity to add another ace recruiter so it's a little disappointing.
January 27th, 2023 at 3:51 PM ^
Could still bring pack Partridge as analyst/recruiting coordinator.
January 27th, 2023 at 3:53 PM ^
I wanted some southern sweet T and we ended up with some Campbell’s soup. Trust the process.
January 27th, 2023 at 3:58 PM ^
Maybe Campbell is an elite recruiter. Time will tell.
January 27th, 2023 at 5:10 PM ^
Can analysts recruit? Maybe he already is an ace recruiter.
January 27th, 2023 at 6:28 PM ^
They help out with on-campus recruiting activities but are not allowed to recruit off-campus.
January 27th, 2023 at 3:52 PM ^
Sam Webb has been leaning toward Kirk Campbell for a while. It became more clear this morning when Sam revealed that Jim Harbaugh told him he had not spoken to either Brian Griese or Tee Martin. Once again news "sources" throwing out false claims that turn into rumors that run amok.
January 27th, 2023 at 4:16 PM ^
Its crazy how people just make shit up
January 27th, 2023 at 4:28 PM ^
Chris Balas has made a living doing it.
January 28th, 2023 at 5:56 AM ^
Others have, too. One person's "just make shit up" is another person's "resume embellishment."
January 27th, 2023 at 6:27 PM ^
Or Jim did talk to them, and now he doesn't remember.
January 27th, 2023 at 3:57 PM ^
So does this mean we’re getting rid of co-offensive coordinators and promoting Moore to sole OC?
January 27th, 2023 at 4:01 PM ^
I would think so. I also assume Newsome will take over a sizable portion of the OL coaching responsibilities and maybe a title change as well.
