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).

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.

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.

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.

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.
