save a motorist:

"Jim Harbaugh, University of Michigan, head football coach, and Jim Minick, University of Michigan, Athletic Staff, stopped and assisted with first-aid by assisting the partially ejected driver to exit the Jeep and by using coats to keep the injured passenger warm until EMS arrived," Michigan State Police said in a prepared statement.

Biff Poggi is also leaving as he is headed back to coach high school football in Maryland at St Francis Academy.

Best wishes to the guy. His DUI in 2015 is one of very few blemishes on the Harbaugh regime. I'm glad he made it through the next two years without any incidents.

Has got to be some sort of contracting gig with one of the big defense contractors. Not throwing shade, but once you retire you can't get a job, "in the military", as you're done for life.

"Contract capacity" is not 'back in the military'.  Being retired, he was most likely a reserve officer and may be heading back to that on a full time basis.  Which, I believe, he can still do.  But it would be as a reserve officer, and not a full line Colonel.

But, as has been stated, he cannot 'unretire'...

I was recalled to active duty after 9/11.  Retirees can be recalled, unless they took early retirement.  It can be voluntary or (rarely) involuntary.  I think you can only be involuntarily recalled for either 12 or 24 mnths (can't remember which).

It may have been slightly expedited by a second event. There may be a negative article that comes out this week or next. It's very minor and I am told it is BS. It happened out on I-94. Col Minick did want to create any negative publicity or distractions.
