OT: Kevin Koger Interviews for Packers OC Job
Not particularly relevant to the Michigan coaching search right now, but it’s nice to see how many (fairly) recent Michigan football players are having great success in the coaching ranks.
If the trend of coaches returning to their alma maters sticks for a while it feels like Michigan is in as good of shape as anyone.

But does Aaron Rogers like him? Isn't that all that matters in Green Bay?
January 29th, 2022 at 10:13 AM ^
I’m sure Throw Rogan will tell us his feelings on the matter…
January 29th, 2022 at 1:43 PM ^
Of all the many terrific new nicknames for Rodgers, this one is, I think, in a tier of its own
January 29th, 2022 at 2:47 PM ^
I thought Breitbart Starr was the best one, but Throw Rogan is definitely in the top tire

Rogers is still skeptical of the benefits of having an offensive coordinator, until he does more research on Youtube. So far he's swayed by user UnclerRico69's argument that buying a time machine online to go back in time and get back in the 4th quarter is the best bet. Just think how many time machines the Packers could buy for only a fraction of the cost of hiring an OC. The only thing that he's not sure about yet is how long the power crystals are on backorder from China.

Always wanted him back here at UofM if we ever lost Jay Harbaugh (TE/ST).
Now it seems he's elevated himself to an OC candidate, that's awesome.

I saw Adam Stenavich is also under consideration. He has gotten a lot of love for his work with the Packers banged up O line.
January 29th, 2022 at 10:13 AM ^
The Broncos either have, or want to interview him as well. Outstanding!
January 29th, 2022 at 10:28 AM ^
Hire this guy!
January 29th, 2022 at 10:37 AM ^
Seriously?
Wow... that's pretty damn impressive if he's already interviewing for OC jobs! It doesn't seem that long ago that he was playing here.
Good luck to the kid! Seems like a coach that is a fast riser.

That’s Kevin Koger, NOT to be confused with Larry Kroger.
January 29th, 2022 at 11:44 AM ^
I had to look up which Animal House character was Larry Kroger, I was hoping it was the fat one (Dorfman), but it was not. I love the quote "Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life son." I don't think Kevin Koger has to worry about any of those.
January 29th, 2022 at 11:44 AM ^
Holy cow haven't heard that name in a while
January 29th, 2022 at 11:57 AM ^
Stories about U-M players, current or former, are never OT.
January 29th, 2022 at 11:58 AM ^
It would be really interesting to see what a potential coaching staff made up of former Michigan players might look like. There are a ton of former players currently in the college or pro ranks.
Have to think you could put together one of the best college coaching staffs and a pretty good NFL staff.

In 2016 I went to the game in Columbus and sat in small Michigan section off one of the endzones. We were taking the usual abuse . But I'll never forget one time I had to use the bathroom and I timed it perfectly by luck that Kevin Koger had to also use the bathroom. As we're waiting in line he literally said whatever he wanted checked the OSU fan base so beautifully and in Alpha mode. Let's just say I felt very safe and it was one of the less abusive bathroom visits in Columbus. Lots of Respect for this young man!

Wow I remember my high school playing him in football when he was at Toledo Whitmer. Good for him. It’s already impressive he’s a TE coach in the league.
January 29th, 2022 at 1:58 PM ^
If K2 rolls in wearing a touke only to reveal his man bun underneath, him and Aaron will be boyz.
January 29th, 2022 at 3:43 PM ^
My favorite memory of Kevin Koger was him wide open in the end zone against osu in 2011!

Always loved his twitter handle Kogernotkroger.
Didn’t know he was coaching. Good for him.
