Potential staff addition twitter stalking
Just something to keep an eye on with the 10th assistant coming or perhaps maybe even someone on staff will be reassigned to RB coach. I know Webb has been saying it is a possibility, but Sam Webb, Chengelis, Chris Evans, and JKP started following former OL coach and current Indiana OL coach Greg Frey on Twitter.

Never heard of Grey Frey.
January 20th, 2017 at 9:38 AM ^
That's Glenn Frey's little-discussed cousin, right? I think he was known for underrated classics like "The Stove Is On" and "You Belong To The DMV", both written while he was in line to apply for a boating permit in 1984.
I could be wrong here, of course.
January 20th, 2017 at 9:40 AM ^
Sounds like a GoT character.
January 20th, 2017 at 9:48 AM ^
Never got the radio time it clearly deserved....
January 20th, 2017 at 9:05 AM ^
Fuck that.

unfamiliar with Frey, why would he be a bad hire?
January 20th, 2017 at 9:08 AM ^
Because people know more than Harbaugh.
January 20th, 2017 at 9:14 AM ^
This should be an entertaining thread. On one side you have Magnus and that Harbaugh guy saying Frey would be a good addition to the staff and on the other side you've got WD taking a hard pass on the idea.
January 20th, 2017 at 9:18 AM ^
Let's hope GucciMan and Magnus go at it again, make the day go by quicker.
January 20th, 2017 at 9:20 AM ^
GucciMan? Is that some kind of lesser-known superhero?
January 20th, 2017 at 9:08 AM ^
He wouldn't. He's a very good OL coach and a very good recruiter. Adding Frey would be a positive.
January 20th, 2017 at 9:10 AM ^
Thanks, Magnus.

The OL wasn't terrible during those years but I personally rather never ever reach back into that box again.
Give me Huff or Hart.

Frey was a 2015 Broyles Award nominee and has coached All-Americans. Hart has done nothing as a college coach. I'm not saying Hart sucks, but his resume is pretty weak as a coach.
January 20th, 2017 at 9:22 AM ^
Does bringing in Walder Frey mean Michigan has to change its blocking scheme? Didn't we run into this in the past where the coach was coaching a system that wasn't his specialty?
January 20th, 2017 at 9:35 AM ^
No, you don't have to change anything...but you do have to marry his daughter.
Seriously, though, Michigan runs a lot of the same concepts already. The inside zone is a staple at Michigan, and the outside zone should become more of a staple with a speedier guy like Chris Evans getting more snaps. Michigan runs some traps and power, too, but I think scheme when it comes to OL is somewhat overrated. The footwork and technique is often similar from scheme to scheme.
January 20th, 2017 at 9:53 AM ^
Power, Pin/Pull, Counter Trey, Counter OT.
Zone was their base, but Frey knows the other schemes fine.
Good coach.
January 20th, 2017 at 11:20 AM ^
In Magnus we trust!
January 21st, 2017 at 10:53 AM ^
Harbaugh is preparing to lose Drevno, who has legit HC aspirations. Did not happen this year, but could very well happen next year - Drevno will be a college HC someday. Pep would take over the OC job and Frey would be there for continuity with the OL. In Harbaugh we trust ... they have a succession plan because he a Drevno are really tight and Harbs is training him to be a HC. Even Pep knows this, who will have his turn in a few years. The Harbaugh coaching tree grows and grows and grows ...
January 20th, 2017 at 9:43 AM ^
Let's just say the band has some new job responsibilities...
January 20th, 2017 at 10:01 AM ^
You know, most people won't get this joke, but I'm officially giving myself a +1 to compensate. I'd rate that as a pretty good joke. I'm going public with that opinion...
January 20th, 2017 at 10:30 AM ^
And I'm going to balance that plus one with a good ole neg. You're welcome.
January 20th, 2017 at 10:42 AM ^
Jokes on you, I have myself +1 on both, and will do it again on this one. Your move, punk.

Frey would be a far better hire than Mike Hart. Hart is not ready for this job yet, regardless of how nice of a guy he was when he played here. I bet he ends up coaching at Michigan at some point in his career, but that doesn't need to be now.
January 20th, 2017 at 9:27 AM ^
Exactly, no one would be pushing to hire Hart with his current resume if he hadn't played here.
January 20th, 2017 at 11:26 AM ^
While I agree about Frey over Hart right now. This was probably the same thing said about Harbaugh when Carr passed on him as QB coach for Scott Loeffler.
January 20th, 2017 at 7:50 PM ^
It was also said about Harbaugh when Rich Rod was hired here. And then Stanford happened and everyone was like 'well, crap...'
January 20th, 2017 at 1:18 PM ^
If Mike Hart hadn't played at Michigan and we hired coach "X" to be RB coach who had less than 5 years of experience coaching at EMU, WMU, and Syracuse with no significant players recruited or developed .....this board would have a meltdown.
Maybe some day, but not the right fit currently.
January 21st, 2017 at 10:56 AM ^
Frey to coordinate run game and Hart to recruit / develop the backs.
January 20th, 2017 at 9:21 AM ^
Give me the best addition possible. I don't care who it is, as long as we get better. Look at Indiana's offensive line lately... it's been amazing and it's Indiana...
January 20th, 2017 at 9:46 AM ^
Give me a thread that your sizeable ass isn't in.
January 20th, 2017 at 10:10 AM ^
Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.
January 20th, 2017 at 10:23 AM ^
You are clueless about things that do not include uniforms and useless stats. Sorry.
January 20th, 2017 at 12:30 PM ^
Bingo.
January 20th, 2017 at 4:19 PM ^
no one gives a shit about half that, either.
January 20th, 2017 at 10:50 AM ^
Your obsession with Hart as the RB coach is irrational.
Also, I know you're on Scout, so you must be aware that Webb basically said that Harbaugh is most likely to shuffle around the offensive staff and bring in someone at a different position.
January 20th, 2017 at 10:58 AM ^
But it would be an additional post to the superguide!
January 20th, 2017 at 11:27 AM ^
Hart hasn't done shit. I'll take a hard pass on him in favor of someone that's actually done and proven something.
January 20th, 2017 at 1:18 PM ^
If he can make Ty Isaac stop fumbling, then we have an all-conference back to carry the load.
Seriously, though. Hart's coaching resume leaves something to be desired, but it would be silly to not give him a look. He knows the position, he is a legend here, and he is a firey competitor. Considering how candid he was with a microphone in front of him while he played here, I can't imagine him being anything less than a great recruiter. Also, I'd love the cheap laughs because of the height differential on the sidelines when he inevitably high fives a 6'7" OL
January 20th, 2017 at 2:33 PM ^
Maybe the hurt will go away when Frey turns out a few more All American OL.
January 20th, 2017 at 9:12 AM ^
Magnus. I heard quite the opposite about his recruiting. Im not claiming to know much but why do you believe he is a good recruiter?

When he was at Michigan, he was a main guy when it came to recruiting Florida. The kids down there loved him. It helps that he was a very good high school player in Clearwater, FL and then played for Bobby Bowden at Florida State.
EDIT: Two of the four commits attributed to him at Indiana this year are from Florida.
January 20th, 2017 at 9:56 AM ^
thanks. it kind of makes sense why people have been saying he is a bad recruiter. Having to recruit for Indiana is no small task.
January 20th, 2017 at 1:50 PM ^
Looks like he had IL, IN, OH and the Tampa Bay area.
January 20th, 2017 at 9:23 AM ^
Seems like IU has had a litany of good RBs and OL since he's been there. By my count (using Wiki as a reference...), he's put 2 OL and 2 RBs in the NFL draft in his time at IU, which seems good for a school of IU's caliber, and they'll add Feeney to the list this year.
January 20th, 2017 at 9:53 AM ^
This provides more evidence that Harbaugh is a clear thinker who is willing to act decisively. I think a pretty good case could be made that OL has been the chief weakness of our offense in recent years. While Drevno has a superb reputation as an OL coach, the fact is that he doubles as OC. Bringing in an outstanding OL coach to bring fresh impetus to this problem area seems to be a skillful move by the head coach, if this is indeed what JH will do. Whatever happens, you have to love Harbaugh's objectivity in assessing the coaching staff and his willingness to address problems.
