Rumor-Warriner to Jax and Sherrone Moore to coach OL?
Neg me to oblivion if this doesn’t happen, however there has been some chatter on Twitter that Ed Warriner is heading to Jacksonville to join Urban Meyer’s staff. Sherrone Moore has been rumored to be the replacement OL coach.
Urban won’t raid Ryan Day’s staff, but ours is fair play. Par for the course.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:05 PM ^
Look down two threads.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:07 PM ^
Ouch, my bad. Didn’t see anything about Warriner, so I created the page. Fail....
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:10 PM ^
Not a fail. The other one had an absolutely terrible thread title. IMO yours should stay up.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:28 PM ^
Concur with eyb. I was watching for news like this after Bell's cryptic tweet yesterday and only clicked the "bricker" thread on a lark, and it turns out to be about this. This thread premise actually seems to have legs and should stay.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:39 PM ^
What was Bell's tweet? I checked his twitter but didn't see anything.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:40 PM ^
Yesterday he said that he was glad that he didn't send out a newsletter explaining what he thought of Michigan's finalized coaching staff, implying that there were changes still to come.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:48 PM ^
Thanks! I'm not good at navigating twitter so I didn't see it.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:09 PM ^
Ace or Brains alt account (umbig11) says this is happening
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:51 PM ^
UMBig11 saying Warinner NOT going to Jags.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:57 PM ^
He also said UM and Harbaugh would do a mutual parting of ways at the end of the season.
January 23rd, 2021 at 9:38 PM ^
He's wrong sometimes...it happens when you're not actually one of the parties involved.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:09 PM ^
I've heard that renowned insider Alex Bricker is reporting it.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:28 PM ^
Geez, I don't know how many more "insiders" I can take!
Is it OK if I just choose one (Ghost of Jermaine) and ignore the rest?
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:47 PM ^
Please delete my thread... My apologies for the terrible title, a creative writer, I am not.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:51 PM ^
Don't be hard on yourself. It's a bad title, but those happen. The premise could be reworked ("heard rumors from a guy named Alex Bricker that Warinner was moving, anyone know anything about this?") but overall it was a legit issue and yours was the first thread to really break the subject.
It's just a thread title. Most of us have posted stuff that is way dumber than that.
January 23rd, 2021 at 8:10 PM ^
Agree with Rev Stephen King. It is really not a big deal. Sometimes you just put something up without much thought. Usually, more precision is better. Like: "how to express my dog's anal glands without getting her excretions all over my face" or whatever.
January 23rd, 2021 at 8:15 PM ^
Well there's a WTF comment. And my beer is all over my ottoman... thanks. Lol
January 23rd, 2021 at 8:21 PM ^
No joke, that was an actual thread topic like 10 years ago.
January 23rd, 2021 at 8:46 PM ^
Well that explains a lot. I've only been a member for 2 years but a lurker for maybe 5 before that. Always been behind the times when it comes to social media (read technology in general).
January 23rd, 2021 at 9:20 PM ^
"Without"? That's no fun then
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:09 PM ^
Not surprised Urban Liar is screwing over Michigan but not taking anyone from OSU. What a joke.
January 23rd, 2021 at 8:14 PM ^
Why is that a joke? Seems logical.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:12 PM ^
Said this in the Bricker thread but getting Bellamy on staff is huge for in state recruiting. And no reason to think a TE coach, who played Oline in college, is unable to coach Olinemen. Seems likely that TE blocking schemes were part of the overall protection gameplan so he is likely familiar with a lot of Warinner’s philosophies.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:16 PM ^
Whatever. Either Harbaugh has the rebound of a lifetime with all the new blood or we're ushering in the Matt Campbell era in 2022.
Win-Win.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:23 PM ^
Do you honestly think we are that lucky?
9-4, loss to OSU, no Big Ten title, loss in the [irrelevant NY day bowl] to the 3rd place SEC team.
Gattis takes a head coaching job at Arkansas State, Jay Harbaugh promoted to OC.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:30 PM ^
Team will struggle to win 7 games.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:56 PM ^
All of this sounds plausible except us playing the 3rd place SEC team if we're 9-3.
January 23rd, 2021 at 8:17 PM ^
Yeah, but what if they have the #3 recruiting class nationally next year? Seems like he wants the best recruiters and let the rest just fall into place.
January 23rd, 2021 at 9:15 PM ^
This is the nightmare Groundhog Day scenario. And it’s Michigan so there’s at least a decent chance of it happening.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:31 PM ^
There's always a chance of pulling an inside straight or something and producing a miraculous turnaround.
But the probability of such an event decreases with each drip of news. A team that turns around the defense, grows the OL, and has a Moorhead-Gattis combo running the offense? There's a chance for a real surprise. A program where only young guys who can quickly get other jobs in a year while moving up the ladder are willing to work as an assistant? That's a ship with the lifeboats already prepped and ready to launch.
January 25th, 2021 at 9:20 AM ^
Remember that JH had a long talk with WM about what was needed to take Michigan to the next level? Bet you a change of the current culture was very high on that list, and thus we have 5 new coaches and all under the age of 45. Sounds to me like JH will get a few years to implement these “culture” changes. Bet there is no 2022 Campbell barring complete collapse by 2021 team.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:20 PM ^
Brett McMurphy just broke it: Ron Bellamy, a former Michigan WR who coached West Bloomfield High School to the state Division I title Saturday, is joining UM’s staff in place of departing OL coach Ed Warinner, sources told @Stadium
Sam is reporting: Moore Co-OC and OL coach
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:24 PM ^
I know the circumstances and positions themselves are different, but it's sobering that Alabama replaced their offensive coordinator with an NFL head coach and we're replacing our OL coach with a high school coach who's being hired because he used to play here
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:34 PM ^
On point observation...really disappointed to lose Coach EW the guy is one of the best in the business.
I don't have any faith that the guy who allowed the program to nose dive after 6 years will somehow wake up as the_jackhammer this season. What we saw the last couple years is what it is.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:34 PM ^
Would you want Bill O’Brien on staff?
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:35 PM ^
I mean, sure, but as you noted the two are completely different situations. I'm not happy Warinner is leaving, but if you're going to bring a new guy onto the staff it's not uncommon to get a young guy who coaches successfully at the HS level in your state, especially if you are looking for a bump in recruiting.
And Moore seems like a guy who should be able to step in an be pretty good at coaching OL given his background and time on the staff.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:33 PM ^
Yep, there it is.
Glad Bellamy is joining up. Good message discipline keeping this stuff quiet, since it seems likely that the Bellamy move has been ready for a while.
But losing Warinner is a crushing blow.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:37 PM ^
Does he have experience coaching an offensive line cause if this hire is bad it will hurt Michigan for years.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:39 PM ^
That's a false dichotomy. Moore is apparently moving over to coach the OL; Bellamy will coach something else. Well, perhaps--for all I know he might be the best staff addition this offseason. The combination of the news somewhat obscures the problem here, perhaps deliberately.
January 23rd, 2021 at 8:05 PM ^
Guess I haven't been keeping up...what is Moore's experience (and results) in coaching O lines?
January 23rd, 2021 at 8:17 PM ^
He played OL at Oklahoma. That's... it.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:40 PM ^
It sucks to lose him, but I get a career college coach nearing 60 wanting to take a shot at the NFL and this is his likely only opportunity. And Moore is a great recruiter and probably going to at least be okay as a coach given his background.
He's sort of stuck as college OL coach after his OC run at OSU went south, so I'm not surprised he moved. I assume UM kicked the tires with some OL coaches but I honestly don't know if any you'd like get would be better overall taking a swing at a young guy like Bellamy with connections to the state and bumping up Moore.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:55 PM ^
Rumors a few weeks ago that Moore turned down Oklahoma to stay at Michigan.
Was he promised OL coach if he stayed? Was he eyeing that position given his playing days?
He’s what, the #7 recruiter in the country? So the question is if Moore’s recruiting + OL coaching abilities will be > Warinner’s coaching experience + recruiting.
Lot of UM fans clamoring for coaches who can recruit. It appears they’re moving in the direction of younger coaches who can presumably fill those roles better.
Edit: Just saw tweet that’s now a Co-OC. Good move if that’s what it took to keep him.
January 23rd, 2021 at 9:46 PM ^
Warinner was worst recruiter on urbans staff. 9/21 that he signed transferred/dismissed or didn’t contribute and got passed by younger guys. Consider it addition by subtraction.Rumors of his wife being a train wreck boozer.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:22 PM ^
Sucks, but at 60 years old, he didn't have many years left here
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:36 PM ^
Ok Millennial
January 23rd, 2021 at 8:00 PM ^
Nope, Gen Xer my dude
January 23rd, 2021 at 9:45 PM ^
Same difference to Boomers.
