Biff Poggi hired as Associate Head Coach
There was a lot of speculation back in the spring that this was going to happen. This is a great addition to the staff. His football knowledge and abiity to help in recruiting (whatever limited role that may be) will be good for Michigan. Sad to see Coach Poggi leave Baltimore, but great opportunity for him and his family.

Devin Bush's father came on as defensive ass't or analyst after the bowl game, but Coach Poggi was weighing options.

I know it's only been five minutes, but I still havent deciphered your comment.
It's screen door on a submarine you dork
Hmmm, yeah.
If you don't like it, then you can make like a tree and get out of here.
(Seven minutes later...) Oh, I get it!!

I get the reference, but a screen door on a battleship is also a stupid idea. Now if you will excuse me I have to yell at young whipper snappers from my porch.

Start at about 2:30.
I thought he took a job at Stanford or something like that.
Associate head coach...that's a big fucking title. I get the Special Advisor to the Head Coach, but damn. That'll stand out on a resume for sure.
Associate head coach is the title you give to your #2 assistant coach who's either an old head and been around forever OR that head coach in waiting type. Never seen it applied to someone who's going to be helping out in other capacities.
Also weird because it was rumored he was going to Stanford and he pushed that Gilman OL recruit from Michigan to Stanford. But heavy emphasis on rumored. Nonetheless we could've used him in the last class. Devery Henderson or Hamilton, something like that.
Anyway, glad to have him aboard! Should be able to help us in a number of ways while his son plants LBs into the turf this fall.

Assistant to the regional manager?
it's a high livel position.

I was trying to post a picture of Dwight Schrute but failed. That is what l get for trying to be funny. Epic fail.
That is a title that sounds more impressive than it is. That is usually largely an adminstrative position, managing the head coaches schedule. Still a great position for a HS coach, but you are not moving up on the pecking order past anyone on staff.
I hope they hire the Glasgows' grandmother next.
Serious question: are there a limited number of coaching spots we fan fill? Over the past couple years I can recall a few moves like this, but can't recall anyone leaving the coaching staff who wasn't replaced. Are we eventually going to employ half of the country, or what?

IIRC when the rumor first popped up he was suddenly coaching at another Baltimore area prep school attempting to recruit kids from other high schools to his
Biff Poggi - football coach
Henry Poggi - student athlete
Schmelly (Mellie) Soggy Poggi - student
Mrs. Poggi and family dog - waiting to be signed
It's another Michigan dynasty in the works. There's been a lot of that at our school.
I believe we need a special t-shirt.

I bet this puts us in a good spot to sign Henry Poggi.
How do guys like like Thomas Wilcher feel about this? We obviously need him coaching at CT. With all of these HS coaches getting jobs on staff, I would think Wilcher would want some of that action.
