Fool! Wikipedia had it hours ago! It's well established that Wikipedia is the ultimate source in reliable information.
Also, welcome Shoop-shoop-uh-dupe!

The links and Tag Team got my back.
But TLC got me not chasing waterfalls so I'm with ya.
January 16th, 2020 at 11:36 PM ^
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to.
January 17th, 2020 at 4:39 AM ^
I don't know what you're talking about.

Too lazy to look it up right now, but I thought Salt N Pepa kind of predated TLC by just a bit? And I thought if Salt N Pepa as more hip hop and TLC as more R&B (not perfect distinctions I know). But that’s just my sense trying to think back to 25 years ago.

The only song I like by TLC is the one about burning Andre Rison's house down.

Who let the dogs out? Who, who, who, who?
January 17th, 2020 at 6:24 AM ^
You obviously know how to post links in the OP.
January 16th, 2020 at 9:57 PM ^
Are we still hiring the weight room guy? We need a proven recruiter in the coaching staff and it seems weird that Harbaugh would just ignore it after losing Partridge.
January 17th, 2020 at 7:11 AM ^
This is Maizen's relatively high-functioning brother/cousin.
January 16th, 2020 at 10:00 PM ^
We wouldn’t have known this until kickoff back in the day
January 16th, 2020 at 10:03 PM ^
This.
Absolutely nobody cared about anything except showing up in September in 1988.
What a time to be alive.
January 17th, 2020 at 1:41 AM ^
Seriously ? I can’t even imagine uofm hiring a coach and it not at least being oubiclsly announced by the athletic department.
January 17th, 2020 at 7:45 AM ^
Hmm . . . I learn so many new words here.
Is oubiclsly an adjective or an adverb form of the word oubicls?
January 17th, 2020 at 8:05 AM ^
There are times when auto correct simply shrugs and says, "I don't have a fucking clue."
January 17th, 2020 at 11:39 AM ^
It's a synonym for covfefe.
January 17th, 2020 at 7:53 AM ^
Prior to CNN/ESPN, nobody gave a damn about an assistant coaching hire, because the 24-hr news cycle didn't exist. When CFB was out of season, the only news about it was when a blue blood program's head coach blew up somehow (ie: Moeller getting a little drunk).
January 17th, 2020 at 8:12 AM ^
You wouldn't have heard about it until Angelique Chengelis brought it up in a random interview on WDFN. That was back when we thought she was an insider.
January 16th, 2020 at 10:23 PM ^
Shoop is a really solid defensive coach and Michigan is lucky to have gotten him as a position coach. I don't think he'll be around all that long (much like McElwain), but he'll hopefully help make the defense even better while he is. MSU's 2018 defense was #1 per SP+ and while it fell off this year rather severely, that seems (at least in part) due to heavy attrition on the defense from graduation (including three first rounders) and some injuries.
I know this blog will rant about terrible recruiting prospects, but this feels like a really nice replacement for Partridge on the field and we'll see how Michigan handles the recruiting aspect with another hire.
January 16th, 2020 at 10:29 PM ^
Obviously recruiting is the number 1 thing holding this program back and Harbaugh hasn't made it a priority since his first couple of years at Michigan with not holding recruiting staff meetings. Alabama and Ohio State make recruiting ability a prerequisite for any assistant coach. The staff has let recruiting die under Matt Dudek.
January 16th, 2020 at 10:34 PM ^
You and AK47 aren’t quite Maizen. But you aren’t too far away.
January 17th, 2020 at 7:12 AM ^
To his credit, I think AK47 is a little less predictable than TMG.
January 16th, 2020 at 10:53 PM ^
Harbaugh has been good at hiring great recruiters. The problem is that once other teams see how good they are there's a fight over who can give them the biggest promotion.
January 16th, 2020 at 11:41 PM ^
Where’s your twin Section8?
January 17th, 2020 at 6:35 AM ^
I don’t know, player development has been lacking pretty heavily. Getting a good on the field coach seems pretty damn important at this point.
January 17th, 2020 at 7:50 AM ^
Said this before, but bringing back the support guys from 15/16/17 makes the most sense to me. Albert Karchnia is one of these guys and is making a name for himself. CMU has the most talent in the MAC, and one reason is they are not afraid to compete in Florida, NJ, and in the portal.
Personally, I would try and get Ron Bellamy or Jermaine Crowell. The State of Michigan has an all-time 2021 class. If you just get the 5-7 kids you want from Michigan your composite would be 4.375!
Also, Cato June or Kovacs would be fun.
Cheers
January 17th, 2020 at 8:38 AM ^
Please do not get either of those two Michigan high school coaches to come on staff especially Crowell. They warrant no reason to get a job like that at Michigan. There is a reason neither of those guys can win a state title despite their talent level.
January 17th, 2020 at 9:51 AM ^
He's talking about bringing them on as support staff where they can help in recruiting. Which they could do. That's how Partridge got his start here.
January 17th, 2020 at 11:40 AM ^
I know exactly what he is talking about and no neither should be brought on. They will be more trouble then they are worth Crowell more so than Bel.
January 17th, 2020 at 9:35 AM ^
Great recruiting is wasted without great coaches. Look at the o-lines under Hoke.
January 16th, 2020 at 10:34 PM ^
A lot of people said Warinner couldn't recruit.
January 16th, 2020 at 10:50 PM ^
People said McElwain, Pep, and Drevno, couldn't recruit and they couldn't when they were here. Harbaugh said HIS goal was to win big ten championships when he got here.
January 16th, 2020 at 11:04 PM ^
I'm confused because our WR group is outstanding, and I imagine both McElwain and Pep had everything to do with that. Drevno just couldn't cut it in the Midwest and is why he is back in California.... but the first two you mentioned, is wrong.
January 17th, 2020 at 8:01 AM ^
Lets not sugar coat this - Drevno was not good at recruiting. He was good as an OL coach alone, his 2015 and 2016 OL's were pretty damn good considering what it was in 2014. In 2017, when things fell apart, was when he was promoted up to co-OC and Greg Frey was brought in to share the OL duties. That is when his OL coaching started to suck some rank ass. He and Frey have very different views on how an OL should be constructed and how it should block. They didn't mesh. He peter principled out - as proven by his return to straight up OL coach at USC. The USC OL was one of the better performing units on that mostly shitty team. But his recruiting still isn't any good...
January 17th, 2020 at 8:25 AM ^
His peter principled out? There's a little blue pill that should help.
January 17th, 2020 at 9:33 AM ^
Personally, my peter's got no principles at all. Gotta close those tabs quick afterward.
January 16th, 2020 at 11:20 PM ^
Well if we're looking at that grad transfer schlub from Indiana, maybe they were right
January 16th, 2020 at 11:04 PM ^
Don't you know this is a message board for concern trolls?! Why come here with facts and logic when you could be running around every thread screaming your head off and throwing a tantrum like a small child?!
January 17th, 2020 at 7:40 AM ^
I don’t know for sure that it is a short-term hire. Brown is getting older and definitely under the gun. Could be a DC-in-waiting?
January 16th, 2020 at 10:23 PM ^
Come on, people!
We’re better than this!
There is an actual Shoop Shoop Song.
Never forget Betty Everett.
January 17th, 2020 at 1:44 AM ^
Damn they were fine.
January 17th, 2020 at 2:02 AM ^
Make me wanna...
January 17th, 2020 at 5:54 AM ^
If he can't defend the spread I don't care.
January 17th, 2020 at 6:34 AM ^
So... Salt N’ Peppa honorary captains for Ball State?
January 17th, 2020 at 6:59 AM ^
Welcome Mr. Shoop!
