This would be my choice

I'm not sure about his recruiting prowess but his coaching ability and his ability to get the most about of his talent is awesome. I'd love to see how he would develop Evans, Samuels, Walker and Higdon. Sometimes I felt that Wheatley chose the wrong back. Evans should have had at least 75 more carries last season (IMO)...
January 16th, 2017 at 9:27 PM ^
His recruiting could also be affected by coaching at Indiana

Although I agree that I would have liked to see more Evans, especially in certain games in which he was clearly moving the ball in a way Smith could not, you have to imagine that his blocking was just not up to par. He's pretty slight and a freshman. If he got significantly more carries than he had, that means you're either hanging Speight out to take big hits or tipping your run/pass hand pretty bad.
January 16th, 2017 at 9:31 PM ^
This is the type of guy Michigan needs -- and has needed for a decade+. If you can find and develop excellent running backs at Indiana, you can find them anywhere. And give him the Michigan brand to recruit behind, and I'm sure he'd be fine.
Hell, if the 10th assistant legislation passes as expected you could hire both McCullough and Wilcher.
January 16th, 2017 at 9:10 PM ^
It's happening again
January 16th, 2017 at 9:15 PM ^
Why do you have that saved on your computer?

he's been waiting
January 16th, 2017 at 9:39 PM ^
Laying in the weeds, if you will.
January 16th, 2017 at 9:16 PM ^
he's probably got it saved in one of his binders.
January 16th, 2017 at 9:23 PM ^
It's WD. Would you expect him to not have that saved on his computer?
January 16th, 2017 at 9:26 PM ^
It would not surprise me even a little if WD has an archive of daily sidebar screenshots organized and cross-referenced by title, keywords and day of the week.
January 16th, 2017 at 9:30 PM ^
Because someone called him out in his Mike Hart coaching search thread and he wanted to show it was alright
January 16th, 2017 at 9:18 PM ^
That one was stupid. Lance Anderson was the only realistic candidate.
That was people trying to be funny...all 3 of these RBCC's make perfect sense.
Of course RBCC: Les Miles, Fred Jackson, Chip Kelly, John Gruden, John Harbaugh, and Jack Harbaugh are all on the way. That's when you'll know "it's happening"
January 16th, 2017 at 10:09 PM ^
He was certainly worth discussing.
January 16th, 2017 at 9:18 PM ^
The things you save are both mystifying and spectacular.

Wasnt cool the first time. Still not cool the second time.
January 16th, 2017 at 9:14 PM ^
Sold.
January 16th, 2017 at 9:14 PM ^
Get their offensive lineman coach of the last few years in here too.
January 16th, 2017 at 9:41 PM ^
You mean Coach Frey? The guy who was the O-line coach at UM under RR? Yeah turns out he's actually pretty good.
January 16th, 2017 at 9:15 PM ^
From Youngstown. Coached at Miami(NTM). Would seem to be a plus for recruiting Ohio. Has worked with Kevin Wilson. Hmmm
January 16th, 2017 at 9:16 PM ^
That he hasn't been snatched up already...
January 16th, 2017 at 9:16 PM ^
Hope he is good at recruting too.
January 16th, 2017 at 9:16 PM ^
OP, did you think of him yourself? If so, pretty smart
January 16th, 2017 at 9:24 PM ^
I've been watching his career for a few years now. He was B1G assistant of the year in 14 and Indiana never has a problem running the ball...
I mentioned him in the Mike Hart post and when the Wilcher post went up I figured I may as well start one for the guy I'd like to see as our next RB coach...
January 16th, 2017 at 9:32 PM ^
Glad you posted this as well. I will be really curious to see who Harbaugh brings in. My guess is that he's known about this for a while and is considering his options.
January 16th, 2017 at 9:17 PM ^
Is this based on any mutual interest? If there was a time, now would be good with the change in IUs offensive coaching staff.
January 16th, 2017 at 9:25 PM ^
But the same could be said for Don Brown last season. I do feel like this would be a great time to poach him from IU...
January 16th, 2017 at 9:28 PM ^
I believe this guy was nominated for RB coach of the year.
Lance Taylor at Stanford would be another nice hire, but he has no connection to Harbaugh.
January 16th, 2017 at 9:35 PM ^
I knew him personally at Alabama. Would be a great hire

McCullough has this layman's vote. Indiana has seemed to have legitimately good RBs for a while now.
January 16th, 2017 at 9:29 PM ^
Jay Graham or bust
January 16th, 2017 at 9:38 PM ^
You mean Earnest Byner...russian keyboards are known for these errors
January 16th, 2017 at 9:42 PM ^
blasted Cyrillic keys!
January 16th, 2017 at 9:48 PM ^
Does Jamie Morris have any coaching experience or desires? Chris Howard? I have no idea. Wondering about former player options.
January 16th, 2017 at 9:56 PM ^
No thanks on Jamie Morris.
January 16th, 2017 at 10:10 PM ^
Why no Jamie? Not a good teacher? Not a good fit, personality or philosophy-wise? Not enough coaching experience? Honest question, don't know much about him beyond his playing days and radio host endeavors.
January 16th, 2017 at 10:54 PM ^
Didn't Jamie leave the M staff on less-than-positive terms? I don't recall the scuttle, but recall it surprising me. He was a great back, immense heart.

.in the AD. Yes, he got fired by Brandon and it got a bit ugly.
January 16th, 2017 at 10:14 PM ^
It's funny how we simultaneously have people saying Mike Hart doesn't have enough coaching experience and others asking about possible candidates with none or much less.
January 16th, 2017 at 11:02 PM ^
I think it's funny that so many people think that we should hire literally any Michigan running back from any point in time. Is Jerome Jackson doing anything? Brandon Minor?
January 17th, 2017 at 12:37 AM ^
I think any qualified former M running back is worthy of a look. If they have all the requisite skills, the added bonus of being an alumni is the cherry on top.
I'm not saying only look into M backs or pursue M backs that have no interest or experience.
Is Brandon Minor qualified? ;)
January 16th, 2017 at 9:50 PM ^
Any chance JH goes the Partridge route and promotes either Bam Richarson or Devin Busch Sr. to this coaching position. I'm not sure what their background is as far as what positions they have coached.
January 16th, 2017 at 10:07 PM ^
Maybe Bam he works with the offense, bush works with the defense

January 16th, 2017 at 10:55 PM ^
It'll probably be Andy Moeller
January 16th, 2017 at 11:58 PM ^
This guy has churned out some really solid tailbacks at Indiana. Seems like Deland has a solid eye for RB talent. Also seems like a guy that could be a great recruiter at a big time college.
