I don't think Few will be considered or would consider Michigan, I'm just using him as an example of a coach from a non-major conference that would be ruled out because of an arbitrary "get a major conference coach" stance.
Yet it already has for many pundits. Pro Football Focus' Brad Spielberger told Isaiah Hole today or yesterday that before the injury he would have been the first guard selected. Now he's dropped down boards. Whether that ends up being true, I dunno, but the at least from a pundit perspective it is affecting his stock.
The content here is top notch, but it's not error-free either. We notice the errors less because they're hidden in novellas of posts and not one-page fluff pieces where each sentence is its own paragraph.
FTR: this is not a complaint. Writing and editing are difficult undertakings and we have been gifted just about the best.
"I want to clarify recent rumors and media reports,” the 38-year-old said in a video posted to X on Wednesday. “An estate sale company without my authorization included some of my trophies in a sale, despite clear instructions to leave personal items untouched. I did not authorize the sale of any of my trophies, and I will be taking legal action.”
"I want to emphasize that I am financially stable, and would never sell off my hard-earned trophies,” the 15-year NFL vet said.
“And if I was gonna sell them, I know people that I could sell them to,” Peterson said. “I wouldn’t go online and sell my personal items randomly. So let that sink in."
I disagree with "Jim never lost his team." Part of the reason he rebuilt the coaching staff and brought in Biff Poggi was due to the fact that he wasn't connecting with the team on a personal level. The new staff, Poggi in particular, was instrumental in changing that. He became more of a player's coach, soliciting their input, creating a leadership council (or whatever it was called) that fundamentally changed the way the program operated.
It has been suggested that he'll remain. Same as Hart, his contract expired at the end of the season so he's likely negotiating a new one, but he's been on the recruiting trail.
The 10 minutes Enos spent on staff turned out to be absolutely critical to Michigan. He recommended Jim hire Sherrone Moore. We should send him a gift basket.
There are plenty of reasons to be skeptical about the potential hire. There are plenty of reasons to be optimistic about the potential hire. Both have been argued previously so I won't rehash them. The only thing I'll add is what Sam Webb said on the radio this morning: it moves the needle with the current players and increases their chances of staying.
We have no way of knowing what the outcome of this hire will be, but I'll opt to believe it'll work until I have evidence to the contrary. If people opt to believe it won't work until they have evidence to the contrary, c'est la vie.
Having difficulty digging up the story with the info, but I think it was because Moore's priority shifted to filling the on-field roles; the combo of the timing shift and a raise at Iowa St. resulted in the negotiations ending.
Not my words - Jim’s own words explaining why he took the Chargers job. Said something to the effect of he’s 60 and time is running short to get a Lombardi trophy.
The guy who knows his time is running short to win a Super Bowl wants the coaches who helped him win a National Championship? This should not be shocking to anyone.

Careful, Sherrone Moore might be lurking.
I told you math wasn't my strong suit!
The one where he went 24-10? I'm no math expert but I think that's about 3x better than the 8 wins Michigan had this year.

So you wouldn't take Mark Few from the West Coast Conference?
…
No power 5 in basketball.
Or in football anymore, technically.
That's not a haiku.
Semantically, sure. But one leads to the other. A dropping grade drops you down the board.
I'm not arguing they're right. Just that the take is out there.

Sure. Paranoia.

OK.
I'm not going into the politics of it all (per the board), so I'll amend to "it wasn't handled particularly gracefully" and leave it at that.
It's all in the video: he mishandled the Brandon Miller situation, his buyout is $12 million and he's already top 10 in pay in NCAA.
Ant is interesting. I remember listening to interviews with him during the search that landed Juwan and he was not a Juwan believer.
We remember 2020 differently.
If I recall, Shannon was in the same situation as Henderson and Hinton, but Texas Tech wouldn't let him complete the necessary courses.

"so, when do think you'll probably die?"
The older I get, greater chance the answer is "sooner than later."
Adding new staff roles, including football GM, NIL GM, more recruiting staff, a new sports science staff, etc.

The Special Teams Coordinator they promoted from within: JB Brown.
I'd rather keep my money and my intelligence. But thanks for the offer!
Pedantic arguments on the definition of NFL Guy are why I visit this board.
You seem to believe NFL Guy has specific length of tenure in the NFL coaching ranks that exceeds two years. What is your cutoff?
You answered your own question. Guy in NFL is NFL guy.
Sam is the main source for the story:
"Sam Webb posted about Brad Hawkins, who had a stint in the NFL, will be returning to Ann Arbor."
WolverineDevotee just got the honor of being a representative example of: "It is now making its way through the internet:"
Defensive run game coordinator. No impact on Mike Hart.

From what I saw the last couple years, they looked decent-to-good. The DL was excellent and the secondary was an abomination.
…
"Warde still sucks drjaws"
The missing comma caused me to giggle.
What's factually incorrect about his post? 2020 was before and with Harbaugh.
For what? To replace an incoming freshman linebacker who was unlikely to play anyway? I think the program will survive.

"As the recruiting director at Notre Dame, he helped land three straight top-10 recruiting classes from 2006 to 2006."
Now THAT is impressive!
Having difficulty digging up the story with the info, but I think it was because Moore's priority shifted to filling the on-field roles; the combo of the timing shift and a raise at Iowa St. resulted in the negotiations ending.
It has been mentioned (by Sam, I think) that he’s on a leave of absence for family reasons.
What gurus among us?
Well, he spent a good amount of time on the radio this morning praising Martindale, so probably not.
I assume Miami's already are.
Steely Dan has been asking this question for 45 years.
Probably leaving to get away from this fan base and it's perpetual optimism. So sunny in Ann Arbor he had to leave for LA.

It’s not an NCAA violation to be in recovery with nearly 20 years of sobriety.
You can let that dream go. Partridge is done at Michigan.
Courtney Morgan was already with DeBoer in Washington. He left Michigan specifically to go work with DeBoer.
No?
" ... this is not meant to be a Warde bashing post…How long before Warde’s increasingly toxic brand."
Could have fooled me.
Campbell at least is still under contract for another year. Signed a 2-year deal in February of 23.
I believe Clink and Elston are still under contract through 2025.
