Biff Poggi to Football Coaching Staff

Submitted by MadMatt on July 11th, 2021 at 2:07 PM

I didn't see anyone else post this; I'm a little surprised by that.

Basically, the head coach of a HS national power (and reliable pipeline sending players to Michigan) is coming to Harbaugh's staff as a consultant and mentor for young coaches. He wants to be near his daughter as she attends Michigan, and he wants one more go round on a big time staff (he's in his early 60s). He was on Harbaugh's staff a few seasons ago when his son played here.

I dunno. It sounds a little bit like Michigan wants an experienced, established coach on hand in case an interim HC is necessary. Wonder if Jim is as onboard with this as the interview of Pogi implies.

Well the previous post was unclear and says only "Biff Poggi Returning"... returning what? library books? returning to the scene of the crime? circling the block in his car to repeat a right turn on red on to Telegraph that he just really enjoys?

Matt… Matt… Matt… Epic fail my friend! You also spelled his name wrong and threw in a horrible conclusion that it’s “in case we need an interim head coach”.

Other than that, good post!

I think, despite all his HS success, Biff is not on any list (if there is one) to replace JH. He claims it's his last chance to get some college experience under his belt, but I doubt he is referring to the head coaching position at Michigan. We don't need a Gerry Faust.

I for one can't hear this enough.

It's like a daily affirmation. Please keep it up.

(Edit: Actually, when I first heard this news I misremembered Biff Pogi as the fat guy that used to follow RichRod from job to job and I was really confused)
