Yeah, he looks like a LB coach. The one you don't want to argue with.

Brian Jean-Mary was here before with Harbaugh. Charlie Strong protege. He's from Apopka, FL (home of Jeremy Gallon). He played for App St in the mid 90's which is a University we definitely know absolutely nothing about.
February 12th, 2024 at 5:43 PM ^
How did this get 7 upvotes when it’s factually incorrect!?!? According to a poster down the way, he was here in 2020. I just don’t know WHO to trust anymore…
February 12th, 2024 at 5:47 PM ^
What's factually incorrect about his post? 2020 was before and with Harbaugh.
February 12th, 2024 at 7:23 PM ^
"here before with Harbaugh" is kind of awkward. First time I read it as " here before Harbaugh".
February 12th, 2024 at 5:57 PM ^
Correct he was at U of M previously in 2020 with Jim Harbaugh and Don Brown. That was the year the MgoBoard AD'S fired Harbaugh and replaced him with Matt Campbell.
February 12th, 2024 at 6:19 PM ^
I know how this got zero upvotes. It's factually wrong.
February 12th, 2024 at 9:16 PM ^
*whom*
And what was factually incorrect about the post to which you responded??
February 12th, 2024 at 5:01 PM ^
I thought you meant he wanted to hire

Same with Andy Devine

Dont tempt Warde. At around two bits per hour she has to be a prime target.
February 12th, 2024 at 5:25 PM ^
Wow, I didn't realize she was still alive. Per Google, she's still in relatively good health, so she could very well make it to 105 and beyond.
Good for her. Here's to good health and happiness, Sister Jean.

Cam Macgrone was rough under his tutelage... just gonna have to hope that was a Cam thing and not a coaching thing.
February 12th, 2024 at 5:05 PM ^
Everything and everyone was rough that year. :(

Team performances are so mercurial in the modern era, I was trying remember if those time periods were good or bad L'ville / TX / USF...
February 13th, 2024 at 10:32 AM ^
GT alum here - in the mid aughts we were rolling out an NFL LB or 2 every year. Daryl Smith, Gerris Wilkinson, Philip Wheeler, and Gary Guyton all got drafted, and Ka'michael Hall was a very good college player.
Cant speak to a lot of that stuff, but his time at Tech was wonderful, and his last year we won the ACC.
February 12th, 2024 at 5:53 PM ^
We had football in 2020? No idea
February 12th, 2024 at 5:08 PM ^
If I recall correctly he was a top notch recruiter with mixed results in one year as far as actually developing linebackers.
February 12th, 2024 at 5:11 PM ^
I believe he was here during the Covid season and most of our lives probably had some mixed results during that time. I'm not sure how you practice tackling drills and social distancing at the same time.
February 12th, 2024 at 5:34 PM ^
That was the year that Don Brown brought in two experienced coaches in zone coverage to try to stop OSU's passing attack. It was a complete departure from what he had been taught to that point and he was probably getting mixed instructions. I don't expect that the issue was on BJM.
February 12th, 2024 at 5:37 PM ^
Yes, solid recruiter and debatable coach. Not that it should remove him from contention but he also heavily talked shit and negatively recruited Michigan after he left. Was beyond Frames tor a while and that's saying something.
February 12th, 2024 at 6:02 PM ^
He made a reference something to the realm of Michigan's crowd is like a tennis match crowd referencing to the atmosphere of the fans at the stadium.
February 12th, 2024 at 6:17 PM ^
Down in front!
February 12th, 2024 at 6:40 PM ^
Well, what wine would you pair with Brie? A Chardonnay? Ha! You have earned my crusty distain.
February 13th, 2024 at 10:33 AM ^
His time at GT was top notch in terms of development.
February 12th, 2024 at 5:15 PM ^
Sam Webb discussed it today if people are looking for a source:
February 12th, 2024 at 5:18 PM ^
Tom Brady apparently wants to come be our quarterbacks coach.
/same source/gut feeling/wish list
February 12th, 2024 at 5:22 PM ^
I remember him. He took a shot a Michigan fans after he left.
Brian Jean-Mary didn’t experience a full Michigan Stadium during his lone season on the Wolverines’ coaching staff due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
But the Tennessee football linebackers coach still compared the experiences at Michigan Stadium to Neyland Stadium on Monday when asked about the difference between the two at the Knoxville Quarterback Club
“I think the University of Michigan crowd — which is a good crowd, I am not going to say it is a bad crowd — it is more of a tennis crowd,” Jean-Mary said. “We have more of a gladiator stadium crowd at the University of Tennessee.”
“The University of Michigan, it is more of a bowl that sits a little lower,” Jean-Mary said. “Our stadium, it rises and it almost feels like it is on top of you, which obviously makes it a lot louder. It makes you feel like you are in a coliseum like in the movie ‘Gladiator.’”
February 12th, 2024 at 5:26 PM ^
"... which is a good crowd ..."
Did you see that?
I think it's way more of an observation than a "shot."
February 12th, 2024 at 5:28 PM ^
Eh... pretty mild criticism, if you can even call it that. And his observation about the way the stadium is built is not incorrect.
February 12th, 2024 at 5:34 PM ^
Point is he has never been to a full game at Michigan. Kind of hard to criticise something he never experienced. Im sure he was just pandering to the Knoxville crowd but kind of dumb to make that comparison.
February 12th, 2024 at 10:25 PM ^
As an alum and fan, I've shared this criticism. It has been common on this blog until 2021 when winning and a great team culture increased the interaction between fans and team.
Go back 10 years and there were several articles on this blog about whether the stadium renovations would increase crowd noise.
I don't see this as a knock at all. Brian has had the same criticism over the years.
February 13th, 2024 at 1:00 AM ^
The OSU game this past season was the loudest I ever heard at Michigan stadium. Nobody sat the entire game. I've been to quite a few games in the 80s when those 60 year olds were telling everyone down in front. Now that I'm 60, I was yelling my head off and never sat the entire game. May be it's more of a generational thing between baby boomers (or greatest generation) and gen x?
February 13th, 2024 at 6:19 AM ^
you're 60? your avatar doesn't look a day over 40.
February 12th, 2024 at 5:51 PM ^
Harbaugh took shots at Michigan when he was at Stanford…it’s part of the process
February 12th, 2024 at 6:13 PM ^
His shots as a charger were worse.
/ducks for cover
February 12th, 2024 at 6:41 PM ^
Bert the Turtle--that you?
February 12th, 2024 at 6:00 PM ^
Harbaugh said worse about the University and we welcomed him back with open arms. We'll get past this quickly.
February 12th, 2024 at 6:05 PM ^
That's what he said publicly. Some recruits can tell you more. Ask Sam about those things haha
February 12th, 2024 at 6:29 PM ^
I'm sure the card board fans were a bunch of stiffs...
February 12th, 2024 at 9:33 PM ^
What did he say that was wrong?
