Is there anyone on our staff you'd like retained if we got a new coach?

Maybe it's good that Harbaugh and Brown don't typically lead the recruitments of players. If position coaches that have been making headway in recruiting for 2021/22 get retained, I wouldn't be opposed. Whatever we can do to retain as much from the 21/22 class as possible. 

Purely speaking in terms of coaching, Warriner is the only coach that seems consistently great in both development, scheme, and recruiting. 

EW, SM, BSM

if you cant recruit then cya

Warinner ainec

None of the above

I still have faith that Gattis can be a very good to great OC and even a head coach at some point. Has Harbaugh been taking control? Is Gattis just not that great? TBD

Zordich and Warhammer.

Wouldn't even consider keeping anyone. Most position groups are a mess and there are zero ace recruiters on the staff. Gotta be somewhat decent at one of these things. 

Quite honestly, no.

I want this entire thing blown out from top to bottom, including coaches we deem as good.

A new coach should have full decision making- if he interviews Warriner and respects his history and decides to keep him, fine. But if not, that's cool too. 

This whole thing needs to be cleansed.

Greg Mattison

Ed Warinner, I think he would work well with Campbell or Fickell since he's a Mt Union guy and has worked with Fickell at OSU

Warriner and...uhhhh... thats it

Jay Harbaugh

he is clearly the best RB and Special Teams Coordinator available.

/s....[heavy sarcasm]

Warriner. Easily. His track record speaks for itself, this year notwithstanding, but he lost both of his starting tackles mid season and that’s going to devastate any offensive line that is not located in Tuscaloosa, Columbus, or Clemson. 

He’d get a mulligan. I’d also be tempted to give Gattis another shot, as long as he got assurances that the head coach would not meddle in his playcalling. Let’s be honest: while this may be Gattis’ office, so many plays have Harbaugh‘s fingerprints planted all over them. If he is not retained, I hope he’s given a fair chance with someone hitting the reset button for him.

You let the incoming coach do what he wants.

Period.

Noooooooooopppppppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Yes

What has Gattis ever done to warrant a shot as interim head coach and to "see what we have there." He can't even manage an offense let alone an entire team.

Not only do I feel that Warinner would be the one I would want retained, I'm actually gonna see it as a mistake if he's not.  Others who I wouldn't mind keeping are:

Sherrone Moore but for recruiting coordinator only

Zordich provided we bring in a dynamite recruiter for defensive coordinator

Josh Gattis provided he is made a co-coordinator so he can learn from another good play caller

And I may be ok with Jay Harbaugh taking over tight ends.  He had two years to ruin Jake Butt and didn't.  Plus the others on the roster seemed to improve at the time.

But if I have to pick one, I'm picking Warinner in a heartbeat.

Clean house 

Ed Warriner has the track record of one of the very best in the business across multiple schools. And his recruiting at Michigan has been good. That an injured and very young line isn't great this year takes nothing away from that imo. Definitely try to keep him

Everyone! Stay the course!

Keep Don Brown and insist that he run some of that zone trap stuff he ran back East.  I really don't think he got stale unless recruiting is the issue.  Why are we off-sides so often?  Mattison looks better than ever and maybe Jim should have let him offer a few more players. (Why do we have so many kickers that are regressing?)

Zordich - great history but what about Gray?  Aren't corners the issue this year? (other than beef on the d-line.)

It all seems to point back to Harbaugh more than the assistants.  Maybe some day we will see a crisp two-minute drill for the win 

Warriner

I love people talking about needing to change the culture, but then hoping to keep a few coaches from this staff. Talk about a complete disconnect.

The answer is nobody. I don't care how good Warriner is as an OL coach (and it is the toughest position coach to find). If you want to really change the program and the dynamics, you start by firing EVERYONE. Keep a low-level GA (preferably someone the new coach is familiar with) or someone who can help you find the bathrooms (and give you a lay of the land). Everyone else goes and I mean everyone: coaches, GAs, recruiting assistants, social media people, reassign administrative assistants--everyone in the building has to be someone the players don't know. That's how you START to change the culture.

Warriner for sure. 

Wouldn't mind it if they kept Moore (good recruiter) 

Also, people aren't going to like it because of his last name, but Jay Harbaugh has done a sneaky good job. 

Ed would probably be ok. Replace everybody else. 

I say we take off and nuke the entire staff from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Seriously though, I wouldn't be adverse to keeping Warinner. But the incoming HC will do what he does.

We need a DL coach.  We need a LB coach.

The thought of Gattis as interim is intriguing.  if he beats OSU a legend is born.  If he doesn’t you hire Campbell.

Also what about Robert Saleh? 

No not a whole new staff. Juwan kept Saddi which helped keep some continuity, so I'd try to replicate that again.

Whoever gets along / gets the most respect from both the players, contacts with '22 kids, and the new HC... Balance but maximize those three sides. 

No. 

Blow.it.all.up.

Start 100% fresh 

- Keep Ed Warriner, probably
- Keep Gattis, but as a WR coach.
