Ron Bellamy, former Wolverines receiver, will be replacing offensive line coach Ed Warinner

In before a chicken little comment about how THIS IS THE END...and also the delete
Matt Campbell blows.
January 23rd, 2021 at 10:38 PM ^
Not a real surprise if you look at Warinner's past. A true coaching nomad. Three years, it seems, is about his limit. Best of luck to him, he's a really good coach.
And I think Matt Campbell is dreamy.
January 23rd, 2021 at 8:04 PM ^
There are 2 threads below and a front page post already about this. Most recent development is that Moore is now also Co-OC
January 23rd, 2021 at 8:09 PM ^
How is Keith Jackson doing?
January 23rd, 2021 at 8:23 PM ^
Michigan Daily Sports is reporting he died. First Hank Aaron, then Larry King, and now Keith Jackson. These things really do come in threes.
January 23rd, 2021 at 8:36 PM ^
I hate to pick on the college kids but The Michigan Daily has made a few errors in the past.
January 23rd, 2021 at 10:45 PM ^
Threes? So what will happen when Sean Connery dies?
January 23rd, 2021 at 8:16 PM ^
You don’t say???
January 23rd, 2021 at 8:19 PM ^
You serious, Clark?
January 23rd, 2021 at 8:24 PM ^
I will say this. Bellamy was part of a team that beat OSU 2 times.
January 23rd, 2021 at 8:33 PM ^
If true, good! If we aint beatin the buckeyes then who cares, I know I don't. I know Michigan Mike Hart was 0-4, but I also know this.... he wants to beat them bad, like real bad. He knows the rivalry and in 07 that was his main goal.
January 23rd, 2021 at 8:36 PM ^
I get the whole "Michigan Man" argument it seems we want in a head coach, but maybe it's the position coaches that need to be a Michigan Man.
Every year or 2 there's one guy with a ton of passion that fires people up on the team. Peppers, Wino, Bush...
We need more than 1 guy pumping everyone up.
January 25th, 2021 at 7:48 AM ^
Mike Hart is 0-9 against OSU as a player and coach.
January 23rd, 2021 at 11:33 PM ^
How many times did JH beat OSU?
January 24th, 2021 at 7:28 AM ^
As a player, I don't know, but you could look it up if you wanted to know..
January 23rd, 2021 at 8:29 PM ^
Recruiting will be insane - hope player develop happens as well (no idea, but hope springs strongly in the offseason)
January 23rd, 2021 at 9:20 PM ^
I’m finding it tough to be hopeful anymore.
January 23rd, 2021 at 9:31 PM ^
Lsu with coach O has helped further my belief that it is more about the jimmies and the Joes more than the X’s and O’s - so at least we have a youthful staff that could prove to be super recruiters.
January 24th, 2021 at 2:28 AM ^
That's a tough one to prove with that example. Joe Brady is a wonderful offensive mind. Burrow and 3 nfl first round talents at wr are wonderful offensive talents.

Glad to pickup Bellamy. Very much sucks to lose Warriner though. Hopefully Sherrone is a natural, and it is somewhat reassuring he was a former offensive linemen himself. Still losing one of the best in the biz is never a good thing.
January 23rd, 2021 at 8:32 PM ^
Tough to lose Warriner but this is a move for the future, which I love.
January 23rd, 2021 at 8:38 PM ^
I’m partial to Bellamy because he knocked off the most-overrated coach in Michigan High School Football last week: Jermain Crowell
January 23rd, 2021 at 9:20 PM ^
Yeah, I went to Belleville and Crowell probably cost them the state title. Running down the clock to try a game winning FG at the end of the game was idiotic. Their kicker hadn’t attempted a FG all season, had a PAT blocked earlier in the game and a 38 yarder is no gimme. Belleville breezes through the regular seasons due to superior talent and then gets outcoached deep in the playoffs. So disappointing.
January 23rd, 2021 at 9:44 PM ^
He’s an average at best coach. What gets me the most is his “holier than thou” persona both him and Corey Parker show.
January 23rd, 2021 at 10:23 PM ^
Appreciate the research.
Wondering if Bellamy will further annoy Crowell, in terms of Belleville players looking at the Wolverines.
January 24th, 2021 at 2:15 PM ^
Bellamy and Crowell are boys. If anything the relationship got better with Belleville and I will guarantee it will be Ron sent into that shool first thing
January 24th, 2021 at 11:54 AM ^
Hahahahaha Bellamy and Crowell are two of the most overrated coaches in Michigan. One was moving on and winning it because both schools have the most amount of recruited talent in the state!
January 23rd, 2021 at 8:46 PM ^
It’s true. Warriner has left and Moore is now co OC and OL coach. He was a guard at Oklahoma under Stoops. Michigan will be fine
January 23rd, 2021 at 8:56 PM ^
Sucks to lose Warinner, but the staff, on paper, is looking really strong.
At the very least, M should start reeling in the 5 stars ASAP. I think Harbaugh has done a great job this offseason, all things considered.
January 23rd, 2021 at 9:21 PM ^
Saying the staff is really strong is optimistic.
January 23rd, 2021 at 9:33 PM ^
Then I'm optimistic. ?♂️
January 24th, 2021 at 9:19 AM ^
Many confuse delusion as being optimism.
January 23rd, 2021 at 9:36 PM ^
Do people really think this staff is looking strong?
I was hoping to see Warinner and Zordich retained, Nua let go, and someone brought in to help Gattis out. Instead, the opposite of all those things has happened. This is like a bad dream that you can't wake up from.
January 23rd, 2021 at 10:23 PM ^
Please send me your stock picks asap.
January 24th, 2021 at 7:14 AM ^
Well, look on the bright side. With Harbaugh's new contract, when he leaves or gets fired next year, we get to start from scratch again!
January 24th, 2021 at 10:02 AM ^
Honestly, yes.
Many have been extolling Bellamy’s virtues for years. The DC is a young up and coming guy. No is supposed to be good as well as Heelow (I keep confusing that with my patient portal). All are good recruiters.
most are considers good coaches by their peers. The two big question marks are Nua and jean Marie; but both are supposed to be excellent recruiters.
It sucks to lose Warriner but it more and more sounds like that wasn’t up to us.
The bitching is insane. A year and a half ago people were bitching about how we had decent position coaches but they couldn’t recruit well. I guess the solution for the fan base is to hire hall of fame coaches at every position who also are great at recruiting.
if you have no optimism and it’s like a nightmare you can’t wake up from... stop watching and spreading the poison. Find some way to enjoy your entertainment. Constant optimism and constant negativity are both unrealistic. I reached that point with the Lions. I don’t think about them anymore.
Maybe it works out. Maybe not. But they have made some objectively strong moves. And with the emphasis on recruiting I think Harbaugh is trying to gear up to compete against schools that have other advantages. He may be thinking he’ll leave in a couple years but the cupboard won’t be left bare. Who knows. But it’s a strong move for the future.
if he has a strong year next year and people find themselves saying “damn I wish he did worse so he’d get fired” then Maybe those people have to ask themselves if they are really fans.
January 27th, 2021 at 12:17 PM ^
Damn jerry. Sounds depressing. Have yourself a Couple Station 26 "Another Hazy IPAs
January 23rd, 2021 at 11:17 PM ^
Wondering why you think the staff looks really strong. It's mostly composed of young, somewhat inexperienced, somewhat obscure coaches who've yet to make name for themselves at their new positions. Sure, they might be good. Or, just as likely, they were the best a lame-duck HC could find. None of the new guys, aside from Hart, were in hot demand by big programs.
January 24th, 2021 at 4:04 AM ^
Strong in recruiting at least.
January 24th, 2021 at 10:52 AM ^
Is U of M going to start paying for players? If not, I'm not sure that the staff is going to be "reeling in the 5 stars."
But maybe the team can get the right mix of talent and hunger to be developed. But it's going to take a bit I'm afraid.
January 23rd, 2021 at 9:02 PM ^
I figured Bellamy was joining the staff when Edwards turned down Georgia and Notre Dame to stay home. This is what many of us (including myself) wanted...a young and energetic staff. Hopefully the recruiting success follows.
January 23rd, 2021 at 9:03 PM ^
Hire Wilcher and own Detroit recruiting
January 24th, 2021 at 10:46 AM ^
Witcher dont fit the age pattern. Would have to be Crowell to own Detroit. Yeah I said Crowell.
January 23rd, 2021 at 9:09 PM ^
OK - so let's wait a week or so and see where Ed ends up. If he goes to JAX then I don't think he got fired as much as he got a new gig w/o worrying if his boss would be swept out after next year.
Urban threw Ed under the bus after 31-0 loss to Clemson but maybe they do get along after all.
I'm excited by the new blood on the staff. Will it work? Who the F knows until September?
At least these changes seem to make more sense than not.
Recruiting better and retaining guys once here is the real key.
January 23rd, 2021 at 9:43 PM ^
Not going to the Jags.
January 23rd, 2021 at 11:16 PM ^
Wonder if any truth to speculation Warinner may stay on as an analyst.
