Sam Webb: Wink to be next DC.
February 7th, 2024 at 5:23 PM ^
It was already known that Matt Patricia was the Lions new coach, as we watched his Patriots defense get shredded by Philly
February 7th, 2024 at 4:37 PM ^
Simple question here - WTF is going on?
February 7th, 2024 at 4:44 PM ^
"Nobody knows anything."
-- Michigan football, 2023-2024
February 7th, 2024 at 4:37 PM ^
Can't wait for Chris Balas to tell us what he REALLY doesn't know.
February 7th, 2024 at 7:30 PM ^
Balas is busy rewriting the 'NIL and Warde sucks' article for the fifth time in a month and making sure he lists every possibility he can imagine so when actual news breaks he can say: "as we've been telling you for days now.."
If he ends up wrong then: "the info was accurate at the time we told you, but things changed."
February 7th, 2024 at 4:37 PM ^
sam said he's interviewing tomorrow. Why the garbage title?
February 7th, 2024 at 4:42 PM ^
I think we're just going by the picture that Sam tweeted. Nobody actually read his post.
February 7th, 2024 at 4:48 PM ^
Nobody ever does, hence half a week of people bizarrely claiming we weren’t offering big money to a Elston which was the opposite of what Sam reported
February 7th, 2024 at 4:42 PM ^
Rumblings about Wink and the Cowboys too. Not sure if he’s more interested in them or them in him. Hopefully this isn’t posturing on his part. I think both he and Cullen are high risk but incredibly high reward hires.
February 7th, 2024 at 4:45 PM ^
I think if the Cowboys genuinely have interest that's the direction he probably goes.
The bigger question is what do we do if things don't work out with Martindale.
February 7th, 2024 at 4:48 PM ^
Bates from OU.
February 7th, 2024 at 4:42 PM ^
Paywalled. If true, then fuck OP
February 7th, 2024 at 4:42 PM ^
Webb heavily implies that he is going to be the guy.
February 7th, 2024 at 4:55 PM ^
You have reading comprehension issues or you just haven't read the actual article and only saw the tweet.
February 7th, 2024 at 5:15 PM ^
Wink to interview vs Wink to be the next DC
Big difference.
February 7th, 2024 at 4:38 PM ^
Cullen used Michigan to get bigger offer from Chiefs or someone else. Man
February 7th, 2024 at 4:48 PM ^
Now he can buy more Wendy's!
February 7th, 2024 at 5:25 PM ^
Lazy joke. Do better
February 7th, 2024 at 5:45 PM ^
Hey Joe, where are you going with that bun in your hand?
February 7th, 2024 at 4:39 PM ^
IF its Wink he brings a lot of experience. Experience that is badly needed after the mass exodus of coaches. AND someone like Clink shouldn’t feel upstaged by a guy like Wink. Great guy to learn from as he continues his ascent. A younger/upstart could have Clink in his feelings about being passed over.
February 7th, 2024 at 4:39 PM ^
Two DCs in an hour! Ex. A as to why I refuse to pay for "premium" content.
February 7th, 2024 at 4:46 PM ^
If there is conflicting information, Sam Webb is the one who will probably be right. I don't know that anyone is more plugged into the program than he is.
February 7th, 2024 at 4:40 PM ^
We're having a problem with conflicting / competing threads again....
February 7th, 2024 at 7:28 PM ^
Did enrollment increase because of the nude girl on campus?
February 8th, 2024 at 11:51 AM ^
I'm pretty sure that something increased.
February 7th, 2024 at 4:43 PM ^
I trust Sam. Great hire.
February 7th, 2024 at 4:44 PM ^
There can be only one…
February 7th, 2024 at 4:45 PM ^
Nudge, nudge. Wink, wink. Say no more, say no more.
February 7th, 2024 at 4:47 PM ^
I want to know who Pete Thamel thinks our next DC will be.
February 7th, 2024 at 4:49 PM ^
he's still hiding in the stadium
February 8th, 2024 at 11:52 AM ^
Hat's off to Des for calling his sorry ass out live on the air.
February 7th, 2024 at 5:03 PM ^
It would be phrased "Sources report Wink Martindale is under NCAA investigation as he's hired by The University of Michigan"
February 7th, 2024 at 4:54 PM ^
That post does not say that.
February 7th, 2024 at 4:57 PM ^
One thing is for sure...Michigan loooooooves its drama.
February 7th, 2024 at 5:05 PM ^
I think it’s the folks around the program who are not directly employed by the university who are drama-obsessed.
Sure the coaching cupboards have been cleaned out but nobody within the current program has done anything to drum the state of chaos that’s presented on this board every 6 minutes.
I’d be surprised if Moore isn’t doing his due diligence and seeking a recommendation or two before pulling the trigger.
February 7th, 2024 at 5:00 PM ^
Not sure where you're getting that.
I won't recite paywalled info but nowhere in that article does it say Wink will be our next DC.
February 7th, 2024 at 5:01 PM ^
I mean it could be they were set to hire Cullen and he just got a better offer last minute.
February 7th, 2024 at 5:01 PM ^
If true this is a good hire. Just need him at least two years.
February 7th, 2024 at 5:03 PM ^
Haha, this is so stupid.
February 7th, 2024 at 5:06 PM ^
Correction: It doesn’t say that he will be the next DC,but that he will be interviewing. That to me signals that he will be which…😬
Mods please correct title.
February 7th, 2024 at 5:10 PM ^
I wish I got every job I interviewed for, must be nice.
February 7th, 2024 at 5:06 PM ^
Yeah, the actual article just says Wink is likely to be interviewed next since Cullen apparently wants to delay his decision until after the SB. The assumption is that he's sticking around in the NFL as a result but it's not given and nowhere is it said Wink is going to get the job.
February 7th, 2024 at 5:10 PM ^
Please no
I have zero clue how two 'insiders' are reporting different guys will be DC. How can their sources be reporting two entirely different outcomes?
February 7th, 2024 at 5:28 PM ^
Because no one knows shit. But feel free to subscribe.
February 7th, 2024 at 5:10 PM ^
When the NFL hires all the guys who used to work for you I guess hiring the guy the NFL doesn't want anymore makes sense.....
February 7th, 2024 at 5:14 PM ^
He didn’t say that. Said Cullen is out and Wink interviews tomorrow.
Sam said he just talked to Borges who had just called Cullen himself and was told he’s staying in the NfL.
February 7th, 2024 at 5:22 PM ^
Martindale is interviewing for Cowboys job.
February 7th, 2024 at 5:33 PM ^
Doesn't seem to be scheduled as of right now.
If Webb seems certain or confident, I'll assume he's right.
February 7th, 2024 at 5:54 PM ^
Yeah, I just read that.
Martindale would not be a hire I would be in favor of.
