I've heard in recent days that Michigan was probably going to hire someone from outside the "Michigan family" but I've been advocating for Manning since Montgomery left. I hope he's the choice.

One of the criticisms of Carr
One of the criticisms of Carr wan not developing a UM coaching tree, so I would be fine with trying to bring some fresh blood into the 'UM family' as long as they're, you know, good at coaching and recruiting. That said, I've read nothing but good things about Manning's re recruiting, so I would be happy with him as well.

That was all hogwash, anyway.
That was all hogwash, anyway.
That was all hogwash, anyway. Coaching trees (not that they matter a great deal) are really unclear for a long time. A bunch of his charges are now becoming defensive coordinators, offensive coordinators, and position coaches (Morrison, Wheatley, Hart, Hoke, Manning, Bedford, Loeffler, etc.), and several have coached in the NFL, too. We might not really see the extent of his "coaching tree" for another 10-15 years, because some of his players are still finishing out their playing days or working their way up through the coaching ranks.

Magnus, your statement stinks
Magnus, your statement stinks
Magnus, your statement stinks of bias. Look at how many Big Ten head coaches are from Tressel's tree:
Dantonio
Beckman
Hazell
Now, I loved Lloyd. However, the criticism you mention above is and was probably well-deserved.
March 4th, 2013 at 4:20 PM |
Well, if you're counting them as successes
Well, if you're counting them as successes
Hoke, Stan Parrish, Mike Debord, and Ron English have been Lloyd assistants. Only one of them has really had success, (Though I'd say just being not completely sucky at Eastern is an accomplishment), but the only one who has proven anything there is Dantonio. The others might not be long for their current jobs either. (And Beckman was only on the staff for like 2 years). And Tressel was a head coach for 25 years (compared to 13). Not saying Tressel's tree is bad either. Sure you can say "Big Ten" but if you had done it one year ago it the list would have been "Dantonio." So a lot can change in a couple of years. Which was the point Magnus was making.

...and how do you know that Lloyd Carr assistants/players won't be head coaches in the next five or ten years? Or that the three coaches you mentioned will be the end of the Tressel coaching tree? You don't, which is the point of my post above.

He's a local guy, played at Michigan, coached/GAed at Michigan, played in the NFL, young, black, ties to the midwest, and played a very similar position to what he'll be coaching. I think it's important to have guys on the staff who played at Michigan or have previous experiences there, who know about the traditions and the rivalries and such.

I'm not sure if Magnus meant it this way or not, but lots of players that we recruit are African American and lots of young kids like having that familiarity especially when they are from farther away. I heard a lot about this with Charlie Strong at Louiville in that it helps when he's going into black homes and has that cultural tie.

Roy's age and NFL are key
Roy's age and NFL are key
A coaching staff needs diversity to maximize combinations of coaches to visit recruits and connect with a wide set of influencers. If Roy is energetic and communicates his NFL playing experience, then he's unique on our staff.
Would Hoke send Roy to connect with a 55-year old, white, Texas HS football coach of aLB recruit? Sure. Would he send Roy to meet with Kyle Berger who probably dreams of LB in the NFL? Sure.

You need a diverse coaching staff. You don't want a bunch of 60-year-old white guys. You also don't want a bunch of 30-year-old black guys. Different kids respond to different people, and it would be ideal to have someone who can connect to the kids that the other nine coaches might not be able to reach.

Exactly. Some kids are
Exactly. Some kids are impressed by a young guy they can relate to. Some kids are impressed by a father figure. Some guys want a coach who is similar to their family, and some want a coach who is the furthest thing from it. Same goes for the parents, who have a lot of influence over the recruiting process.

Correct. Mark Smith coaches the ILB's (MIKE and WILL). I would assume Manning would also help out with weakside ends (since the positions are similar), special teams, and be heavily involved in recruiting.

Why two coaches for LB?
Why two coaches for LB?
Magnus - why do you need two coaches for linebacker? Are the inside and the outside that different? Would it make sense to have two WR coaches or is where the WRs lineup less important for coaching purposes?
March 4th, 2013 at 4:54 PM |
I don't think LB necessarily
I don't think LB necessarily
I don't think LB necessarily requires an extra coach. He was likely mainly hired for recruiting. He still has to coach a group, though.
March 4th, 2013 at 5:22 PM |
It's not necessary to have 2
It's not necessary to have 2
But it does certainly help. The two positions are actually quite different. My guess is he actually helps with the WDEs quite a bit. Just my thought because the 5-tech, 3-tech, and nose have a lot in common; WDE and SAM have a lot in common (moreso than SAM and MLB have in common); and then the two MLB positions are very similar.
You're going to get an overlap in coaches somewhere because of the number of coaches you're allowed to have.
Offense: QB, RB, Interior O-line, Outside O-line, TEs, WRs.
Defense: Interior D-line, Outside D-line, OLBs, MLBs, CBs, Safeties.
Those are pretty much the positions that need coaches, it's up to the head coach to decide which ones they will overlap.
