It seems like having everyone add an extra coach at once will cause chaos. What's stopping Michigan from signing someone now as an "analyst", at a coaches salary, and then change their title/duties once April hits? Or if we plan on promoting an analyst internally, hire their replacement now before 100+ other schools are looking to fill positions.

I think this is good news.

In other news, the media is going mildly apeshit over the fact that Michigan has three million-dollar coaches.

I'm getting old and forgetful but I don't remember our line being a bright spot in 08-10. Sam and Ira are heralding this as a great hire, and I'm not knocking it, but was our line good then? I distinctly remember whiffing on virtually every pull.

Easier to hire away a coach when you're not giving them a position with a lesser title. It also makes it easier to pay them more. In the same way Hamilton is our assistant HC, the same title he had with the Browns. Drevno is still the OC. I don't get why people think having coordinators under him gives him nothing to do. You might ask instead how much the run game coordinator does when the other OL coach is already the OC.

House Frey....those bastards. I'll never forgive them for the red wedding. But if one of them is willing to coach Michigan, I'm OK with it.
