Coaching Candidates Jesse Minter and Christian Robinson not coming to Michigan
January 19th, 2021 at 8:44 AM ^
Glad we could get another coach a raise.
January 19th, 2021 at 8:44 AM ^
Maurice Linguist is starting to come up as a potential target.
https://247sports.com/coach/Maurice-Linguist-1713/
He's rumored to be eyeing jobs after the Cowboys fired their DC. Hell of a recruiter with a bunch of southern recruiting ties.
January 19th, 2021 at 8:49 AM ^
And if he's a lousy football coach he can still teach our players how to handle glottal stops in German, Spanish, and Mandarin.
January 19th, 2021 at 8:51 AM ^
Perfect for field trips to the Berlin Wall, The Great Wall of China, and Machu Picchu! Oh wait, are we still doing those?
January 19th, 2021 at 9:52 AM ^
I was going to come up with a joke about this, but yours was better. Bravo.
January 19th, 2021 at 8:52 AM ^
Rumor is he’s a cunning Linguist.
January 19th, 2021 at 9:14 AM ^
But is he a colonel?
January 19th, 2021 at 9:18 AM ^
No. Colonel Angus is rumored to be looking around but has found the right fit yet. He just needs a taste of the good life and he'll be all in.
January 19th, 2021 at 9:38 AM ^
One of the funniest SNL bits ever. “I myself never cared for Colonel Angus...always rubbed me the wrong way.”
January 19th, 2021 at 10:52 AM ^
I’m not sure why.. can’t put my finger on it...
January 19th, 2021 at 9:18 AM ^
And his breath always smells like fish
January 19th, 2021 at 9:21 AM ^
it's not a rumor.
January 19th, 2021 at 9:07 AM ^
Not saying he isn't a great recruiter (I have no clue), but getting Texas players to go to A&M is a little easier than getting Texas guys to go to UM.
January 19th, 2021 at 10:01 AM ^
Yeah, this was the same issue I sort of had with Robinson being deemed a "crack" recruiter when he basically convinced a bunch of guys in SEC country to go to Florida. Obviously good recruiters can get guys from anywhere, but it's always hard to tell how good a guy is at convincing people to come aboard when that school is in the recruit's backyard.
January 19th, 2021 at 9:08 AM ^
I'd take Linguist in a heartbeat on this staff.
January 19th, 2021 at 9:25 AM ^
I heard the guy will talk your ear off.
January 19th, 2021 at 9:35 AM ^
"Maurice Linguist is starting to come up as a potential target."
According to whom?
January 19th, 2021 at 10:04 AM ^
Webb reported it on 247.
January 19th, 2021 at 1:25 PM ^
Some people call him Maurice. Some call him the gangster of love.
January 19th, 2021 at 1:50 PM ^
Cause he speaks of the pompatus of love?
January 19th, 2021 at 8:45 AM ^
So my skepticism that two Ravens assistants would be coming to Michigan was entirely justified after all. So much for insiders "billowing a shitload of smoke" about Minter's impending hire by Michigan.
January 19th, 2021 at 9:59 AM ^
I mean, c'mon Don, the dude may be going from becoming a position coach at Michigan, to a DC at Vandy. Is that really billowing a shitload of smoke?
January 19th, 2021 at 8:48 AM ^
Losing a coach to Vandy? Lmao wow. (Albeit for a DC position but still yeesh...)
That kinda tells you what the industry thinks of Harbaugh’s prospects beyond 2021.
January 19th, 2021 at 8:49 AM ^
no, it doesn't.
January 19th, 2021 at 8:51 AM ^
Minter taking the DC job is entirely justified considering it’s a move up from the DB coach that Michigan was offering.
January 19th, 2021 at 8:52 AM ^
Why on earth would a guy who's already been a DB coach in the NFL make a lateral move to be a DB coach at any college program?
January 19th, 2021 at 9:55 AM ^
How dare you ask a logical question instead of using this news to blindly fling shit at Harbaugh? What kind of Michigan fan are you?
January 19th, 2021 at 10:13 AM ^
I’ve been known to have a bad take or 5 every so often.
January 19th, 2021 at 9:59 AM ^
Because he's about to lose his job with the Cowboys and doesn't like the other DB coach openings?
January 19th, 2021 at 10:33 AM ^
He's talking about Jesse Minter.
January 19th, 2021 at 8:55 AM ^
We would never think we could poach Vandy's DC to be a position coach at UM... why would we think he would choose the job if he had both options?
Seems like he's highly respected and was due for a promotion. He found a bigger one than we had to offer. This says nothing about Harbaugh...
January 19th, 2021 at 9:21 AM ^
This just makes you sound delusional. He took a promotion over a lateral move.
January 19th, 2021 at 9:25 AM ^
With some hot takes, you should place them outside in a snow bank until they cool off and get covered by the next blizzard, never again to see the light of day.

January 19th, 2021 at 9:30 AM ^
The overwhelming negativity from this fanbase is tiring.
January 19th, 2021 at 9:46 AM ^
This is a pretty terrible post.
January 19th, 2021 at 9:55 AM ^
This is a terrible take... even for you
January 19th, 2021 at 9:59 AM ^
You are an idiot.
January 19th, 2021 at 10:02 AM ^
Yeah, I'm shocked a pro position coach would turn down the option to be...a position coach in college versus being a defensive coordinator in college.
It's truly a mystery.
January 19th, 2021 at 11:14 AM ^
Position coach, or a coordinator job in the SEC.
hmmmmmm
January 19th, 2021 at 12:08 PM ^
Yes. It’s also an indictment how Tom Brady won’t quit playing to coach QB’s and how Desmond Howard and Charles Woodson won’t quit their TV gigs to coach WR’s and DB’s.
January 19th, 2021 at 1:32 PM ^
Norte Dame lost their defensive coordinator to the same school. Brian Kelly in trouble!
January 19th, 2021 at 1:49 PM ^
You are very intelligent.
January 19th, 2021 at 9:09 AM ^
One interesting trend I'm seeing is, most of these young guys we're targeting have moved around A LOT. Like, no more than 2 years at any given stop. I have a feeling some of this is the by-product of Harbaugh's short leash. They're probably thinking 'Well, if this doesn't work out, I can put Michigan Coach on my resume and move onto the next gig like I always have'.
January 19th, 2021 at 10:07 AM ^
I also think that's sort of the by-product of young guys moving up the coaching ranks. In most cases it seems like guys get hired up spots versus jumping around because they're unhappy where they are. There's really no danger to their careers to go to UM even if it doesn't work out.
January 19th, 2021 at 9:12 AM ^
I’ll reserve judgment until the staff is finished, but I’m really ready for some good news. This combined with the Worthy situation feels like a dong punch.
January 19th, 2021 at 9:17 AM ^
Wow, that Ravens D coaching tree must be good.
January 19th, 2021 at 9:24 AM ^
That stinks on Minter. I was excited about him. His resume looks better to me than MacDonald’s. I was hopeful we could do co-DC gigs for Minter/MacDonald to seal the deal with them. I thought just a lateral move to DB coach would be tough.
Things are trending the wrong way.
