Suggestion: Hire Ferris State's Tony Annese

Came across this (gasp, faint) Freep article about Ferris State's Tony Annese.

Highly successful at the state's best college football team right now. Knows Ann Arbor well, since he was Pioneer's coach the last time they were any good. Getting old (59-60), but this might be the last chance for him to make the move to FBS.

I know I'm doing a lot of shoot from the hip analysis, but he could be Michigan's version of Jim Tressel (years of success at a lower division school, not a lot of hype, but years upon years of results).

Tony is an offensive genius. He is partly responsible for the offense the Ravens use with Lamar Jackson. One of his assistants, Steve Casula is now at UM. Lloyd used to visit practice when Tony was at GRCC. If he was going to move up it probably would have happened by now. I’m surprised CMU didn’t take him when they were hiring.

yet again?  How many times will Annese be proferred?  There is zero chance.  I'd take Creighton at EMU before Annese.  And I ain't taking Creighton.
