ND gets one of the best DCs out there and UM is rumored to be hiring a position coach for the Ravens with 0 DC experience.

Sounds about Michigan.

I would’ve chosen ND as well. No Bama on the schedule and I believe Coach O lucked into the Burrow/Brady combo and is likely to be an average coach. 
In contrast, Kelly will be at ND as long as he wants.

You guys all know that’s how Vic Fangio became DC at Stanford?  And that Stanford defense was one of the best in the country? He was recommended by John to Jim.    Jim took him with him to SF.    This could mean McDonald is great and Harbaugh will leave for the NFL next year OR just about anything else.   But I would suspect McDonald is probably very good.     The big issue is recruiting on that side - DTs and CBs is still the issue it is.    My hope is that a phenomenal recruiter on the defensive side is brought in as well.

The X’s and O’s are one thing.

Don’t like Freeman in our backyard with his recruiting chops. He’s going to come after numerous guys on the Michigan radar.
