Michigan hiring Ryan Osborn as defensive analyst
Mostly interesting because he's another person on staff with southern connections and analysts often move up to coaching duties in the future (not to mention that he's already been a DL coach at UT Martin)

Thanks for the info. I like it. Never hurts to have another set of experienced eyes as an analyst.
January 26th, 2021 at 1:58 PM ^
Ozzy's son!
January 26th, 2021 at 2:00 PM ^
Awesome. Is he gonna modify the train formation? Will we get to see the "crazy train"?
January 26th, 2021 at 6:33 PM ^
Hopefully the offense will be flying high again!
I saw Motley Crue open for Ozzy in 1984 at the Joe, good times!
January 26th, 2021 at 7:25 PM ^
Damn. That must've been a show!
January 26th, 2021 at 2:02 PM ^
And Ryan Gosling's brother?
January 26th, 2021 at 2:13 PM ^
This grab out of the air confuses me.
January 26th, 2021 at 1:39 PM ^
We need all the DL help we can get!
January 26th, 2021 at 1:39 PM ^
This guy is a DL Coach, and thought Shaun Nua was expected to be fired and hasn't tweeted a damn thing about Michigan since October.
Is he replacing Shaun Nua?
January 26th, 2021 at 1:43 PM ^
He's a defensive analyst. Nua has been extended and will be coming back as DL coach.
January 26th, 2021 at 1:43 PM ^
You think Michigan extended Nua's contract and included him in their announcement of the finalized defensive staff last week to replace him now?
January 26th, 2021 at 1:51 PM ^
Didn't realize he had been officially extended. And the DL pretty well sucked at times last year.
Christ Almighty - Do you evil bastards give anyone a break who hasn't followed the goddamn site every day?
January 26th, 2021 at 1:52 PM ^
A simple answer - no.
January 26th, 2021 at 1:58 PM ^
You: (says wrong thing)
Everyone: that is wrong
You: Christ Almighty you evil bastards!
January 26th, 2021 at 2:00 PM ^
I asked a question - did not make a statement.
Besides - Just like using the term "evil bastards", straight from Hunter S. Thompson.
January 26th, 2021 at 2:39 PM ^
Relentless. There is no mercy rule on Mgoblog. Just be glad you didnt make someone read an already posted thread, then post on that thread, then also respond to other posts in said thread.

"This guy is a DL Coach, and thought Shaun Nua was expected to be fired and hasn't tweeted a damn thing about Michigan since October."

One of the reasons I tread very lightly on this site....you say the wrong thing and it's like Piranah's in the Amazon!
January 26th, 2021 at 4:20 PM ^
If a man says something on MgoBlog and everyone is there to hear him, he is most definitely wrong.
January 26th, 2021 at 4:57 PM ^
it's "piranhas," no apostrophe.
(sorry, i just couldn't resist)
January 26th, 2021 at 10:15 PM ^
Piranhas? Amazon will ship anything these days.
January 26th, 2021 at 7:09 PM ^
It’s not that bad. Most of these people will throw crappy insults at you that they think are funny and then take away your fictitious points. They’ll also keep telling you that they’re a tough crowd.
January 26th, 2021 at 2:25 PM ^
The official staff announcements were all over every official and un-official platform that had anything to do with UM sports this last week. Your lack of knowledge about something so well communicated is on you, not the people informing you you're wrong.
January 26th, 2021 at 3:25 PM ^
This place is rough, no doubt. If it wasn't the best site about Michigan sports, there's no fuckin' way I would stay here.
January 26th, 2021 at 1:48 PM ^
I think people suspect Nua may have been unable to bring in a bunch of 300lb samoans with Brown's scheme.
I really hope we start getting some jumbo sized tackles.
January 26th, 2021 at 4:00 PM ^
What is really strange to me is why didn't the 300+lb. Polynesian who has been on the team for 5 years, and one of the few who stayed when others bailed, even get ONE play at an obvious position of need?
The Paea Enigma.
January 26th, 2021 at 4:57 PM ^
Those who stay will uhh... be ummm....
January 27th, 2021 at 7:17 AM ^
"Those who stay will get to spend Christmas and New years at home."
January 26th, 2021 at 2:05 PM ^
Obviously, not for next season, but could be posturing...
January 26th, 2021 at 1:41 PM ^
All these southern coaches Michigan just hired, they need to start bringing in a couple of the transfer portal DL and LBs from the SEC and ACC. Got to *retool* that defense, quick.
January 26th, 2021 at 7:07 PM ^
I'm sure there's some talent in there, but getting a guy like Fields is very rare. It's not like we're going to poach a Bama starting nose from the portal.
January 26th, 2021 at 1:46 PM ^
This is certainly an interesting hire, let's hope he's great at it and falls in love with AA and the university and moves up the ladder.
January 26th, 2021 at 1:47 PM ^
I just want our next hire to be a combination analyst-therapist.
January 26th, 2021 at 1:55 PM ^
For the board or the team?
January 26th, 2021 at 5:39 PM ^
That was funny!
January 26th, 2021 at 2:13 PM ^
I know my analyst-therapist has worked wonders for me!!
Except I still violently scratch inappropriate places at the most inappropriate time, (like my lawyers breasts at my last parole hearing) and yell like Sam Kinison, "You ruined my life you f'n BITCH" at any women that looks remote close to Bea Arthur.
She hasn't managed to iron out those wrinkles yet.
January 26th, 2021 at 2:29 PM ^
Good luck, there aren't a lot of those out there that are certified.
January 26th, 2021 at 4:22 PM ^
An Analrapist?
January 26th, 2021 at 1:53 PM ^
UT Martin...... is that a football factory?
January 26th, 2021 at 3:55 PM ^
No, but they're probably better than UT Knoxville.
January 26th, 2021 at 4:53 PM ^
Speaking of UT Knoxville, hope he can pull a few transfers out of there like Henry To'o To'o on his way by.
January 26th, 2021 at 1:56 PM ^
Flying high again! Come on and join Jim.
January 26th, 2021 at 2:14 PM ^
You can’t blame Harbaugh for going with up-n-coming coaches, especially ones with some recruiting chops. Everyone complained about avoiding a retread coach late in their career. Well .... we got the opposite. Let see what the kids can do here.
January 26th, 2021 at 2:22 PM ^
Are analysts allowed to recruit?
January 26th, 2021 at 3:19 PM ^
Analysts are allowed to recruit on campus, or I should say they will be allowed to again when the dead period finally ends. They can talk to recruits via phone, text, etc. They can't go off campus to contact or watch recruits.
January 26th, 2021 at 6:11 PM ^
thanks
January 26th, 2021 at 8:22 PM ^
Upvoted to get you off of 666. Just cuz.
January 26th, 2021 at 10:03 PM ^
...Annnnnd their unholy reign as MGoSatan has ended. Soon peace will come to our board.
January 26th, 2021 at 2:21 PM ^
What's the thought process of someone taking a "analyst" role with a school when he was a postion coach at a "lesser" school? Is the pay more? Seems like a demotion in job title though.
