My Auburn friends are telling me this will put Derrick Green over the top and choose Auburn. We'll see.

He's coached running backs one year in the last 11 years.
Fred Jackson was a QB coach
Fred Jackson was a QB coach before he switched to RB coach at Michigan, though I will admit that there are probably more parallels there.
(Edit: Added list of experience for Jackson - from Mgoblue.com)
| R(S) | POSITION | SCHOOL |
| 1979-81 | Offensive Coordinator, QBs, WRs | Toledo |
| 1982-86 | Offensive Coordinator, QBs, WRs | Wisconsin |
| 1987 | Wide Receivers | U.S. Naval Academy |
| 1988 | Quarterbacks, Wide Receivers | South Carolina |
| 1989-90 | Offensive Coordinator, QBs, WRs | Purdue |
| 1991 | Quarterbacks | Vanderbilt |
| 1992- | Running Backs | Michigan |
| 1995-96 | Offensive Coordinator | Michigan |
| 1997-2002 | Assistant Head Coach | Michigan |
| 2003-07 | Associate Head Coach | Michigan |
| 2008- | Running Backs | Michigan |
Always was interested how he transitioned back from OC to
RB coach. I never knew how that was approached since you don't see it very often.
Running backs was always his position.
They made him assistant head coach as a "promotion" and have him more administrative duties rather than offensive ones.

I'm not saying you can't switch.
I'm saying that it's not a big recruiting inducement. The better parallel would be if Fred Jackson took a job at LSU as a QB coach and someone was worried they'd look a quarterback recruit because of it. Neither guy has produced anyone from that position in a long time.

Gus M is still the head coach
Gus M is still the head coach and he runs a spread
3-3-5 til the day I die y'all
Hasnt he stated several times
Hasnt he stated several times tha he wants to play in a pro style offense? Regardless of who coaches the RBs at Auburn, they are still going to run the spread. I still say advantage Michigan.
THOSE WHO STAY WILL BE CHAMPIONS
Meh, they were always going
Meh, they were always going to have somebody coach the position, and a guy whose last stop was as a special teams coach for a failing team doesn't scare me from a recruiting perspective, NFL or no. Green doesn't fit with Auburn's new system and this hire doesn't change that either.
COYS and lets go Detroit FC!
Dunn doesn't fit OSU's spread
Dunn doesn't fit OSU's spread and yet he committed there, so who knows in regards to power backs in a spread system. Regardless, I hope we aren't disappointed.
..
You can't compare different kids in different situations. Green has said he wants to play in a pro style. I know Dunn said the same, but he was already committed to OSU.
THIS IS MICHIGAN
He doesn't? Urban Meyer sure
He doesn't? Urban Meyer sure liked sending Carlos Hyde up the middle off of dive plays.

I will fucking cunt punt the next person I hear about doing something like that, and I don't give a fuck if you SOR me, I WILL FUCKING ASSAULT YOU.
And who was asking him the
And who was asking him the questions? Oh, an Auburn guy? Would you really expect him to say they were totally out of the running?
The swag is back.
I have a hard time believing
I have a hard time believing that Auburn's hiring of a guy who probably has never met Green before, with whom he has no relationship and can't legally forge one for some time, would sway a kid to a tire-fire program, regardless of his "pedigree" as a special teams coach in the NFL. Mattison was a DC in the NFL, for a pretty good defense, and it wasn't like kids immediately flipped their commitment when he was announced.
My friends at Auburn
Said your friends were dumb.
Seriously though, I don't see how this hire would sway Green, or how anyone could make that claim. Derrick Green can come to Michigan, start from day one, and be a first-round draft pick after winning the Heismann Trophy as a junior.
Why? We play a pro style offense and have recruited the best OL talent in the country, along with one of the best QBs in the country. Why would he go Auburn where he has to compete with other talented RBs who are more suited to a system he doesn't want to play?
Thank you, Coach Hoke, for bringing Michigan back.
Get new friends.
Get new friends.
a coach he has no
a coach he has no relationship with at a school not running his system? stranger things have happened, sure, but i don't think this changes much. but i'm not derrick green, so what do i know?
It's been a lot. Its been a roller coaster that for some reason seemed like it would never get good. But you know what? We kept fighting. It's like that old saying goes, "Those Who Stay Will Be Champions." -David Molk
Heh.
Who has Auburn friends, Anyway?

So a seemingly lifer NFL
So a seemingly lifer NFL special teams coach that was never a running backs coach is supposed to scare me? Fred Jackson is laughing right now.
The last NFL hire that Auburn made worked out so well for them.

I just
pooped excellence - that should put Green over the top for Michigan
If someone ever invented a low fat vitamin - filled vegetable that tasted like fudge covered Rice Krispies treats - I'd probably eat better
Wow, with you pooping
Wow, with you pooping excellence, and Hoke pooping gold, we should get all the recruits now.

Let me guess.....
.....Your Friends are Michigan haters?
Time for new friends.
It's like riding a bike I'm sure, but that track record wouldn't exactly wow me.
