Report: Wheatley Out of the Running for WMU Position
I'm very glad we'll have him for at least one more season.
Source: Former UM star Tyrone Wheatley appears to be out of the running for the Western Michigan job.

Les Miles it is then.
January 12th, 2017 at 6:42 PM ^
Their loss. We'll glady keep him.
January 12th, 2017 at 6:47 PM ^
Glad he'll be here (at least) another year.
January 12th, 2017 at 6:48 PM ^
Better opportunities around the corner, coach. Happy to have you back another year!

But this isn't true, he has already accepted the position, and it will be announced shortly. Wish I could say I was trolling you guys, but he's gone.
January 12th, 2017 at 6:50 PM ^
He already rent the car?

is there a flightaware for thirfty rentals?
January 12th, 2017 at 6:54 PM ^
He was asked to look for another job.
January 12th, 2017 at 7:14 PM ^
No way Harbaugh asks TW to find another job.

My source said that masturbation relieves stress.
January 12th, 2017 at 7:25 PM ^

January 12th, 2017 at 7:42 PM ^

Works pretty damn well too
January 13th, 2017 at 12:02 AM ^
....show off!
January 13th, 2017 at 1:45 AM ^
You need a second person for that.
January 13th, 2017 at 8:19 AM ^
The servant waits while the master bates.

Give me a break - he is a top 5 recruiter nationwide and a Michigan legend. Not even a possibility unless some event happened that didn't go public

"Source" is a former player, not recent, still involved with the team on occasion, said that Fisch and Wheatley's departure not unwelcome. He made a hand motion when he said that like he was shooing away something. Fisch wanted to have more input and call more plays. Didn't feel like he was involved enough. I asked if the running game wasn't developing, and he raised his eyebrows, said "Wellllllll..." and didn't want to say much more. I didn't press for more info and we moved on to talk about Spyniewski who was told when Harbaugh came in that he would not get a fifth year.

Is this why he's currently in Alabama having an in home visit with Nico Collins tonight? You should probably cite your sources if you truly have this insight.
January 12th, 2017 at 7:31 PM ^
They are always good for making up news.
January 12th, 2017 at 7:54 PM ^
And we're off.

Bando is a very overrated commenter. Sad!
January 13th, 2017 at 10:07 AM ^
Sad needs to be in all caps... here I'll help

Canadian Nowledge Network?
Canadian Nannook Network?
January 12th, 2017 at 7:08 PM ^
I'll bite...so WMU is gonna wait for announce and give up more recruiting days and Wheatley is gonna be out there recruiting for Michigan still?
Well shit...sounds about right to me.
January 12th, 2017 at 7:12 PM ^
Lamar Woodley wants to pound you into meat sauce for writing such bullshit
under his name.Per my source.

Typically such a strong stance calls for some sort of proof or justification for the claim
January 12th, 2017 at 7:37 PM ^
Ok I totally believe you

Yea right, hit the bricks, pal

I'm not saying I don't believe you... wait, yes I am.
January 12th, 2017 at 8:09 PM ^
Or you are a bullshitter. What evidence do you have?
January 13th, 2017 at 7:22 AM ^
I'm impressed by your sources. If not, you've really put your foot in it.
January 13th, 2017 at 8:57 PM ^
See, it's Lester not Wheatley, you turd sandwich.

My ucla friend is saying Fisch is trying to get Wheatley over.

We need Ty here for so many reasons. Please stay Mr. Wheatley.
January 12th, 2017 at 7:06 PM ^
Will hurt to lose him, and this info going around he was looking at this job probabaly didn't help with a certain running back. I knew he was being rented but hoped we made it four year while his kid was here. Whenever he leaves best of luck. Unless he goes to OSUin that case eff him ;)
January 12th, 2017 at 7:13 PM ^
Just to suggest that the dickholes on this blog who speak as if they have unnamed "sources" and haven't established themselves as credible folks like umbig11 should face the banhammer.
January 12th, 2017 at 7:29 PM ^
Have it right. I believe he says Lewis was suspended the first few games and he was injured.
January 12th, 2017 at 7:56 PM ^
Was also convinced we were getting Isaiah Wilson
FTR, umbig has been right far more often than not so I still give him the benefit of the doubt.
January 12th, 2017 at 8:00 PM ^
So what? The entire staff probably thought they had Wilson locked up. This entire board thought so. One last minute trip to Georgia changed months of ground work and leadership. You can blame the Wilson miss on things other than umbig11...
January 12th, 2017 at 9:42 PM ^
umbig11's sources are in the AD it appears. If the whole AD thinks that Najee Harris or Isaiah Wilson are locks, guess what's going to get passed along to umbig11 (and others). No one can read everyone's brains or know every opinion out there
January 12th, 2017 at 7:15 PM ^
We need him here at Michigan. So glad he's not leaving for Western. Western is always fun but...it's Western.
January 12th, 2017 at 7:17 PM ^
Yeah, so many jive turkeys in this thread, spreading unsubstantiated rumors
January 12th, 2017 at 7:20 PM ^
I do hope he gets a HC position in the future. We need more UM guys with coaching XP to come back and lead I'm in the future.
January 12th, 2017 at 7:23 PM ^
you are always looking around making a mental checklist of assistants and coordinators you can potentially hire in the future. They don't just say, "Oh crap what do we do now? We better hire a firm to start an assistant coaching search!
