Loss to Indiana = bad
Win over PSU = good
UniformZ = bad

Great news to offset what looks like a board meltdown regarding hoops uniforms (haven't looked at it yet, but it can't be good).

I think this is the year the defense really shines.   Year 3 with Mattison's schemes and a lot of returning experience.

...who think he's leaving anytime soon.

"Michigan is such a special place and it's exciting to know I'll have the opportunity to coach at the greatest program in college football for the next four years, and hopefully long after," Mattison said. "Part of the reason I came back here is because I wanted to work with Brady (Hoke) again, and every day I'm thankful I made that decision. There's not a better coach or man to work for."

I think he coaches until he just physically can't do it anymore.  Based on Demens comments that Mattison is "25 years old at heart", I think that could be quite a long time.

The only way he likely moves is if his daughter does.  Remember one of the reasons he left the Ravens was because his granddaughter was getting treatment at Motts for a heart problem.  His daughter had settled out here and asked him to move out here so he could be near his granddaughter.  If they relocated, he might.

So while I'm not saying I'd go all Ann Arbor Torch and Pitchfork if the people employing Mattison's daughter and son in law transferred them, I'd just like to remind those employeers I do have a Groupon to AA Torch and Pitchfork that I'm ready to use.

Mattison did ring in on this, of course:

"Michigan is such a special place, and it's exciting to know I'll have the opportunity to coach at the greatest program in college football for the next four years, and hopefully long after,"

What Mattison has had a part in since 2011 is nothing short of remarkable as turnarounds of a unit go, and this extension is excellent news that further stabilizes (as well as improves)  the program.
