Hello: Shannon Turley (New strength coach)
YES!!!!
#Michigan commit Erik Swenson told @JoshNewkirk7 Harbaugh will bring Stanford's S&C coach to AA. I've confirmed Shannon Turley is the man.

Here is Turley's Stanford bio.
And for those who don't like the endowed positions (the J. Ira thing), Turley's job title at Stanford was the "Kissick Family Director of Football Sports Performance"
Lest we forget a few years ago someone named their OC position the "Andrew Luck Director of Offense"

Stanford players are bidding him farewell on Twitter.

I love these quotes about incoming freshmen and how they don't go in the weight room the first three weeks.
"Somebody is going to break; it’s inevitable.”
"The stress of having to compete when they’re already fatigued is almost emotionally traumatic."
Winter conditioning should be fun.

HIP HIP HOORAY!!!

Mr. Peppers. He can see what Sherman said about him.

Coach Harbaugh is obviously the man most associated with Stanford's rise from doormat to powerhouse, but Coach Turley was absolutely instrumental in that process. As a program, Stanford's player-games lost to injury pre/post-Turley was unbelievable. This is a huge win for Michigan that will fly under the radar for casual fans.
Side note, Stanford considers Lance Anderson to be the program's ace recruiter. He also did a very nice job as DC this year; Stanford's offensive futility sort of masked a defense that was one of the very best in the country.

Great addition. This guys known for his tough players. Toughness has been our biggest downfall in my opinion. It's time to turn things around and get physical.

Are you fools sure this has been confirmed????? Has any Michigan official confirmed this in any way?

has this been confirmed by any Michigan official OR Mr. Turley in any way?
January 4th, 2015 at 9:07 PM ^
Sam Webb isnt a Michigan official or a rep of Mr. Turley. This is by NO MEANS CONFIRMED
January 4th, 2015 at 9:22 PM ^
You're new here. Two things 1) saw Webb is highly respected and only reports what he has heard - he doesn't make up what he's saying and 2) he only confirmed Turley is the man, which he is, and not that's he's coming. Although most signs point to he is.

Am new but informed.....more than you can imagine
Sam Webb is relaying a comment from a recruit.
Until anyone from Michigan confirms this then its simple gossip.
January 4th, 2015 at 9:39 PM ^
Looks like a great hire! That video had me ready to believe. Here's to fewer ACL tears in the coming years!!
January 4th, 2015 at 10:54 PM ^
oh wells
January 4th, 2015 at 10:52 PM ^
Hmmmm....I guess that recruit that Webb quoted was mistaken in what Jim told him
January 4th, 2015 at 11:08 PM ^
Someone lied about Mr. Turley it seems. Good job
