Hello: Denard Robinson - New assistant DPP

Excellent.  His enthusiasm for all things M is infectious, and the news is a nice palate cleanser after a distasteful weekend for the department.  

Awesome. 
 

I wish I had something more clever to say, but Denard is an all-time Wolverine and I’m happy he’s back. 

Who's Denard Robinson?

My favorite player of all time! One of the most fun, electric, and overall great guys ever in the program!

Wait, doesn't he have a COVID year left? Can't he play? Put him in the backfield alongside Corum!

Nice but does anyone know what exactly the job entails?

Perfect hire. This makes my day.

Cant think of anyone who deserves it more!

He's the guy who can make the kesel run in less than 12 parsecs, with his shoes untied 😎

This is the best news! He is such a beloved part of Michigan Football. This has got to be huge for recruiting.

GREAT hire!

I'll bet he can still unlace them up!

Here are actual job descriptions for these types of roles:

Here's a short summary from Army:

The Director is responsible for the overall recruiting effort of the football program through oversight of the recruiting database and evaluation of current team needs to effectively advance Army West Point Football while upholding standards of excellence established by the Head Football Coach..

This is the best. Denard was the bright spot in the lowest time of this program’s history. He was an unbelievable talent but that dude smiling kept me afloat as a Michigan fan. He always looked to be having a great time. I can’t think of anyone I’d rather be running recruiting. 

Welcome back to Ann Arbor, Denard! This is a great hire. Denard is such a positive guy. Truly a win/win for the Michigan football program.

Randomly, the GF and I were throwing out hyptothetical celebrities who we would invite to our wedding, if we magically knew they'd show up.

I chose denard and had to explain to her that he'd be the first on the dancefloor, helping grandma tear it up in her walker, would make a great toast, and then probably help the cleaning staff pickup plates.

His positivity is infectious and am so glad he's back with the program!

I love that guy. He will bring ENERGY!

One of the best athletes to ever put on the winged helmet.  This is awesome!

I honestly wonder if any Michigan player has been loved by the fanbase more than Denard.  I mean I'm 62 and the only two that come close in my lifetime were Ricky Leach and Anthony Carter.  And Leach went 3-1 against OSU with three B1G titles while Carter ushered Michigan into the modern era as he was too good for Bo to not start throwing the ball a little and was on the recieving end of one of the greatest single plays in Michigan history.

Good for Denard - glad he's back.   And good for Jimmy to bring him back.

Yes comrades!!!

Only right for Denard to work at Michigan.

Who's Denard Robinson?

Just another 3* from southern Florida area.  Probably signing with Miami (YTM)

Welcome aboard Shoelaces! 

This would be so great. 

Dude should have won the Heisman - easily.  His performances against ND were legend.  

No ceiling on his ability to bring positivity to Michigan football. 

Go Denard ! 

Go Blue. 

Lets get the whole band back together - anyone know where Lloyd Brady is these days? 

Is that the guy who is named after Brian's son? Seems pretty young for the job...

Having Brian's son on staff should allow the blog to have a lot more insider info.

This news removes any possibility that tonight's game will ruin my day.  Denard is a great hire and great Wolverine.  Welcome Home, Shoelace!  

Halle-f&cking-lejah for some good news, welcome back!

Denard will be a great face of recruiting.  The Dude has a golden personality for recruits and parents.  

Ain't this the posbang?

About fuckin' time.  

I'm old like mGrowOld and Denard is my favorite Michigan player of all time.

YES!!!

Pretty excited about this. If there is any chance he could work his way into an on-field role, on the way to becoming our next HC, I will support it 100%.

Absolutely love this hire. He is one of my favorite Wolverines and one of the few bright spots through some rough times. Welcome Home Shoelace!!!

This made my day!

This is so awesome 

We just got a PWO.... Renard Dobinson....the kid is lightening fast, doesn't tie his shoes.

This is the best news we could get this week! 

My favorite Wolverine of all time, and one of the best people I can think of to represent the University and the Football program to recruits.

Now if we could only get Jordan Kovacs here coaching all of the Walk-ons. Or anywhere on the Defense.

Go Blue!

I hope he host the recruits and their families on their visits. Can't imagine a better person showing the families around than him.

Hey Brian/Seth, where’s the Hello Again post!

I Love it!!!! Way to Go Michigan. 

Denard took his opening collegiate snap, dropped it (on purpose for effect probably) and ran for a 43 yard touchdown against WMU. What a start to a phenomenal career.

I am so happy he's back.

I’m the happiest man ever!!!  GO MF BLUE!!

Maybe?

Perhaps GOJ can let us know if AA was talking about DR instead of JG going to YTM LOL

So cool. Hoping the news is accurate.

This is a great move!! He will be a big hit in recruiting, especially with the South Florida talent.
