add-uh-go-KAY per the Houston Texans website
February 14th, 2024 at 1:42 PM ^
If that's a Nigerian name, yup, give each vowel its own syllable.
February 14th, 2024 at 6:20 PM ^
I suspect it is. I worked with a Nigerian woman whose name was Adejoke and it was "Ad-eh-jho-ke" with a soft "j"
February 14th, 2024 at 1:45 PM ^
Bah, though lt I had it right, so close. I had it in my head as ADD-uh-GO-kee
February 14th, 2024 at 1:53 PM ^
It’s a name befitting a Michigan coach, as it means “the crown has ascended the mountain” in Yoruba.
February 14th, 2024 at 2:36 PM ^
You guys are the best! I love mgoblog.
February 14th, 2024 at 8:59 PM ^
The "KAY" is skipped as in A-DUH-GO when he sacks the Ohio State quarterback.
February 14th, 2024 at 1:40 PM ^
I have no complaints with Sherrone's hires on defense at this time.
February 14th, 2024 at 1:55 PM ^
Agreed. He is more than par for the course. It took awhile but only because of the NFL season had to finish.
February 14th, 2024 at 2:33 PM ^
Didn't Texas' secondary suck?
February 14th, 2024 at 2:54 PM ^
Texans in NFL not Texas….
February 14th, 2024 at 3:25 PM ^
Highly important post. Thanks
February 14th, 2024 at 3:04 PM ^
Jalen Pitre was the best safety they had, and he wouldn't have started on most other teams. The others were journeymen who spent a lot of time on practice squads.
February 14th, 2024 at 8:53 PM ^
Man, I read it the same way and had the same thought. Glad you said something to get us both straightened out.
February 14th, 2024 at 10:00 PM ^
Context matters.
February 14th, 2024 at 1:42 PM ^
BUT CAN HE RAVENS?!?!?
February 14th, 2024 at 1:44 PM ^
We have the Wink/Ravens.
February 14th, 2024 at 2:28 PM ^
He worked under Minter at Mich as an analyst.

February 14th, 2024 at 4:19 PM ^
Might want to edit again...he worked under MacDonald, not Minter. 2021. O-JA-BO year.
The other finalist, Lamar Morgan, coached with Minter at Vandy.
February 14th, 2024 at 1:43 PM ^
A young DB coach with NFL and Harbaugh-Michigan experience is about as good as it gets. DeMeco Ryans is one of the better young coaches in the NFL so I’m pretty pumped about this hire from context alone.
February 14th, 2024 at 1:44 PM ^
The Texans secondary was very good this season. Stingley and Nelson played out of their minds and Petri was a damn good safety. Sounds like a great hire to me.
LB coach is the last position to fill right? Is that still Jean-Mary?
February 14th, 2024 at 2:04 PM ^
According to Wiki, Jean-Mary is Michigan's LB coach, but only because its been that long since someone updated his wiki.
February 14th, 2024 at 1:54 PM ^
B-b-b-b-b-u-t can he recruit?
February 14th, 2024 at 2:22 PM ^
Just wait till he finds out that Michigan won't spend $280k on a recruiting visit for one high schooler. /s
February 14th, 2024 at 1:43 PM ^
Adegoke!
ADEGOKE!
ADEGOKE!
ADEGOKE!
ADEGOKE!
February 14th, 2024 at 1:47 PM ^
He's bursting with Adegokulence.
February 14th, 2024 at 2:00 PM ^
Does that make him therefore, Adegokulent?
Sound perfectly cromulent to me.
February 14th, 2024 at 2:45 PM ^
scrumtralescent, even!
February 14th, 2024 at 1:43 PM ^
both this dude and lamar morgan seemed like legit good ideas
let's go!
February 14th, 2024 at 2:00 PM ^
I was kinda hoping they could find a spot for both!
February 14th, 2024 at 1:45 PM ^
Sherrone's staff is looking quite good NGL.
February 14th, 2024 at 1:46 PM ^
Fellas, feels like the football program is in good hands as we had thought. Love these hires so far.
February 14th, 2024 at 2:24 PM ^
Fellas, feels like the football program is in good hands as we had thought.
you mean like …. we as in you, me and like 15 other posters? Most folks were hand wringing, claiming Harbaugh was knee-calling us, blaming Warde, extolling the horrors of the sky that fell, etc.
February 14th, 2024 at 3:16 PM ^
Exactly.
February 14th, 2024 at 3:37 PM ^
Harbaugh was knee-calling us
That seems really hard to do, especially the middle row (2, 5, 8, 0).
February 14th, 2024 at 3:58 PM ^
Warde still sucks drjaws, but Sherrone doing a nice job filling out the staff.
NGL, still a bit nervous about Wink, given Mac and Minter took what he built and made it better, and now we are bringing back the older version. Great for continuity and I'm sure he can adjust based on our roster, but Minter specifically was a bit of a savant and will be tough to replace, even if his mentor is now on the staff.
Sometimes the pupil does indeed surpass the teacher, and that may very well have been the case with MacDonald and Minter vs. Wink.
February 14th, 2024 at 5:42 PM ^
"Warde still sucks drjaws"
The missing comma caused me to giggle.
February 14th, 2024 at 9:21 PM ^
As long as Dr Jaws doesn’t mind…
February 14th, 2024 at 1:46 PM ^
That's Adegoke by me.
(I'm genuinely sorry--it's already been a long week)
February 14th, 2024 at 1:52 PM ^
Lemon, it's Wednesday.
February 14th, 2024 at 1:46 PM ^
This is a fantastic hire.
February 14th, 2024 at 1:51 PM ^
Is this the guy who worked for Minter at Vanderbilt or the other guy?
February 14th, 2024 at 2:05 PM ^
Adegoke was on the Michigan staff as an analyst in 2021. Lamar Morgan, the other candidate, was the one that worked with Minter. Good to get this hole plugged on the staff.
Start calling your players Coach Adegoke.
February 14th, 2024 at 2:48 PM ^
Why would we start calling players Coach???
February 14th, 2024 at 3:09 PM ^
Because we have seen Mike Barrett.
February 14th, 2024 at 4:04 PM ^
Touche!
February 14th, 2024 at 2:06 PM ^
The other guy. This guy was GA in 2021 for Michigan, then quality control assistant for 49ers in 2022 under demeco Ryan’s. Then went with demeco Ryan’s to Texans when he was hired from dc at 49ers to head coach at Texans. This is an excellent hire. My guess is he views this as a fast track to DC type role after wink leaves.
February 14th, 2024 at 2:13 PM ^
Sam Webb mentioned his scheme familiarity - I assume this must be from the GA year? He certainly seems like a future DC fast track kind of guy.
February 14th, 2024 at 3:27 PM ^
From college GA to NFL position coach in 2 years seems like a rocket ship trajectory. Very promising hire.
