Anyone else remember that Countdown To Kickoff when Koger just went off about his massive love for Pokémon?

Still my biggest moment of "Oh my god. They really are just kids!" in my sports fandom.

It's an evening for Wolverines to get jobs on football staffs or in this case to take jobs with other staffs apparently - definitely not a bad thing at all. Either way, it's great to hear about former players making their way (or starting their way, as Miller is - see thread below) through the coaching ranks. Best of luck to Koger in this new position.

One of my personal favorite players. Always looked to be in a good mood on the sidelines, and seemed to genuinely love the game and student life. Happy to see him get an opportunity to coach.

Not only did that catch start the scoring for Michigan, it was also Koger's first collegiate pass reception and TD.

I felt bad for him tearing his achillies tendon during early 2012 workouts which left him unable to perform for NFL scouts.

Loved watching him play.  Always wished they'd toss him the ball more; TE was never a focus of those offenses, but Koger always made it look like it should be. 

Go blue!

I'm starting to realize that Hoke had better coaching talent on the field than on the sidelines. Damn shame.

Best of luck to Kevin. He's going to make an awesome TE coach one day.

Good player.  I always thought Kevin could play in the NFL but he gave up too soon.  Perhaps he did not want it that badly and wanted to go in to coaching
