Any Word on LB Coach Target Brian Jean-Mary?
We were hearing from a few insiders that BJM was expected to announce a decision yesterday. Since then, there seems to be radio silence. Has anybody here heard anything more?
And yes, I'm being impatient. Coach Moore is getting me excited with his coaching moves, and I want the good news to continue to flow. BJM has Michigan ties and appears to be a great recruiter, so I want him back in Ann Arbor.

Yes, but I'm not telling
February 15th, 2024 at 9:22 AM ^
Well then screw you.
February 15th, 2024 at 9:59 AM ^
You've been a member of this site for over 11 years. I would think you would know if there was any word it would already be posted here. Nobody's holding on to the info for someone to ask.
February 15th, 2024 at 10:30 AM ^
Funny you should ask OP.........
February 15th, 2024 at 9:22 AM ^
Yes! Unfortunately, the word is "Xiphoid."
February 15th, 2024 at 9:45 AM ^
The xiphoid process is made of cartilage at birth and hardens into bone as a person ages. The word "xiphoid" comes from the Greek word xiphos, which means "straight sword".
The xiphoid process's main function is to provide an area for muscular attachment. Pain in the xiphoid process can cause swelling and discomfort, but it's usually not a cause for concern.
During cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), it's possible to fracture or dislodge the xiphoid process. This can potentially cause punctures or lacerations of the diaphragm, or an inadvertent liver puncture that can lead to life-threatening internal bleeding.

Actually the word is meconium. We're not to the good sh*t yet.
February 15th, 2024 at 9:27 AM ^
Yes. It’s been covered. You’ll have to go back a few pages and search through all the threads with unrelated titles to find it.
February 15th, 2024 at 9:32 AM ^
It's a shame there isn't a Front Page Post about the new Defensive Coaches. I know it's a bit dated, being from yesterday and all but do you think something happened in the last 15 minutes that they're keeping from everyone?
February 15th, 2024 at 9:33 AM ^
Username checks out.
February 15th, 2024 at 9:37 AM ^
The article provides excellent background on Brian Jean-Mary, but doesn't get into the weeds of our efforts to poach him other than saying we made a sizable offer.
Again, I know I'm being impatient, and I normally wouldn't indulge that impatience, but there's nothing else happening except MBB continuing its tailspin.
February 15th, 2024 at 10:02 AM ^
The simple answer is that BJM is in the middle of a bidding war for his services, and presumably likes both options (staying at TN and returning to Michigan), so will make a decision once he has everyone’s best and final offers. My guess is it will be decided by the end of day tomorrow.
February 15th, 2024 at 9:35 AM ^
TN is trying hard to keep him and he's torn between leaving and staying.....
according to un named sources..... that are contained inside my head.

Reports from yesterday was he was in his Tennessee office all day. But this is what one of the Tennessee insiders on ON3 said this morning.

I’d say barring an upset, he is going to take the Michigan offer. That’s how it feels to me.
February 15th, 2024 at 9:38 AM ^
Thank you! Exactly what I was hoping for.
I'll gladly take the downvotes for this crumb of information.
February 15th, 2024 at 9:55 AM ^
He is waiting for Jim's counter offer.
February 15th, 2024 at 9:58 AM ^
Sam talked about it on the Roundtable this morning.
His 'gut feeling' is that BJM wants to tell the Tennessee players in person before finalizing his contract and leaving for UM.
Michigan Insiders have (rightfully) taken their lumps recently but that's what Sam said.
February 15th, 2024 at 10:07 AM ^
Thank you! Very helpful.
February 15th, 2024 at 9:59 AM ^
I think many of you would save yourself some injury but simply waiting for things to become official. "insiders", at least the well meaning ones, are simply posting the best information they have at the time. But like with recruiting we're talking about human decisions, which can go any which way, and when you read that post from Insider X who said "this is what's happening" it's already old and 10 things could have changed since then.
What advantage do you gain knowing something 4 hours before it's official? How does it meaningfully affect your life? There is only this moment. At this moment, BJM is not our linebackers coach. At some later moment he may become our linebackers coach. In that moment, you'll know.

The only Insider I follow is Jon Jansen. When he has them on the Podcast we'll know for sure he's here.

Done deal per Webb
February 15th, 2024 at 10:22 AM ^
Look up.
February 15th, 2024 at 10:22 AM ^
Sam Webb confirms on Twitter he's coming. That's good enough for me. Done.
February 15th, 2024 at 10:36 AM ^
recruiting is about to explode
February 15th, 2024 at 12:35 PM ^
When it comes to a decision like this, it seems that there are only two insider sources: BJM's significant other and the voices in BJM's head. Anything else is pure speculation, and yet some positioned as "insiders" generate clicks and income by claiming to be what they are not.
