Calvin Magee's current and future role/s?

This is another hypothetical "What to do if RR is gone" thread in disguise. If you dislike people having opinions and ideas on a blog about Michigan then this thread is not for you.

My main question is what exactly is Magee's role in our offense? If RR was gone, would our offense run as well? He's been assistant since 2001 I believe, so he has to know most of the system and how to teach it, especially considering he's asst-HC as well.

My view of our situation is our offense is amazing and has the potential to be far better. RR is obviously a great offensive coach, but if he's removed because of the worst defense I have ever witnessed, I still want our offense. We could keep Magee and the rest of the staff assuming he has learned how to run the spread in the 9 years he has worked for RR. Then hire a very good defensive coach. Maybe throw millions at Kirby Smart or Will Muschamp. Hell, I'd support hiring Les Miles if his contract banned from him touching the offense and clock management but required him to tweet at least once a day.

That's my two cents. Opinions? Answers? Rage?

I think he would be gone too

First, you are very brave for posting this on a Friday night before a game.  The drunken crowd will soon surround you.  Good luck.

But, I happen to think "what happens if" questions are the ones most worth asking.  In this case, i think the answer is that Magee would go too,  Magee came here with RR.  He is likley to leave with him too.  I don't think that we get to see RR leave, but keep his offense.  We can't have it both ways.

In all my sports watching years

I have never seen a coach that can hang on to a job like Fred Jackson.

I see

I see what you're doing there but you have to take it to another level for anyone to realize what your'e trying due to the drastic nature of real-life actual things that Freddy J has uttered...

"In all of my hundreds of sports watching years, I have never seen a coach that can hang on to a job with such utterly vicious ferosity as Fred Jackson. He hangs onto that job as if the job was a rope and he was frantically clinging to that rope over a cliff with a 250 foot drop below him to a pool of lava-hot acid with rabies-infested somehow-acid-resistant monster crocodiles who haven't been fed in decades frothing at the mouth to devour him."

...or something like that.

Need drink more drinks me thinks.

Keep RR, keep the ........

.....offensive guys. Remove the cap for assistants, fire GERG, hire a new DC as you would a head coach and allow him to decide on which, if any, D assistants he wants to keep, and let him bring replacements for the ones he doesn't.

Now, doing that could create friction between RR, DB and the new DC, but I don't think it does. RR knows he has the offense he desires, and that it will continue for years. He also knows the D has been in decline for awhile, much of it while he has been HC. Either he swallows his pride, and allows the D to improve on it's own, in which case he continues at UM for a long time(and lots of success), or he quits on his own.

Sometimes, even good people need to be brought down to reality, even when they probably know and recognize that continuing the status quo is self-defeating.

IMO, if the above happens, RR will accept it, make new professional acquaintences, and become one of the greatest HC's at UM. He just needs to swallow his pride and allow the changes necessary to happen.
