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 8:15 PM ^
He gone so if someone spells his name wrong, I won’t care.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:28 PM ^
Rumor that West Bloomfield high schools Ron Bellamy is coming onto the staff in a unnamed position too. Times they are a changing at Michigan
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:29 PM ^
Bellamy better be a dynamic recruiter. His team was not well coached. Great athletes.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:42 PM ^
Not well coached, yet somehow the poorly coached West Bloomfield squad just waxed Davison to win the state. Please spare me the "butttt Davison didn't have their qb!" That qb wasn't scoring 42 points vs W. Bloomfield.

Rooted for WB, for sure. If that’s the only game you watched, spout off. Talent all over the field. Not the most tactical team in any way.

I don't follow HS football in Michigan at all anymore, but I remember when I lived in the state and caught some local sports show in Lansing and they kept bringing up this distinction between teams that won based on "talent" vs. teams that won on "coaching" and it sounded like the dumbest distinction in the world to me at the HS level. He seemingly took a not-good West Bloomfield team and turned them into one of the better teams in the state; that's pretty impressive to me and doesn't strike me as something you pull off just by getting a couple of kids to move to your district.
I have no idea if Bellamy is going to be a good coach at UM, but "his team that just won the state title after a 4-year run where they were one of the best teams in the state in spite of him" seems like a weird take.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:31 PM ^
This is getting so comical. What a ? show.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:32 PM ^
What position does Bellamy take? Receivers? Pass coordinator?
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:36 PM ^
WR, Moore to OL, Jim Harbaugh to QB coach, still leaves 1 opening I believe.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:41 PM ^
But Moore did TEs, so who takes over that group? Or do they split time with OL and WRs?
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:51 PM ^
Maybe add TEs to Jay's plate once again.
January 23rd, 2021 at 8:04 PM ^
That would be a great move.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:52 PM ^
Double postage
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:36 PM ^
He’s replacing Warinner, so...
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:39 PM ^
It was his only goal.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:40 PM ^
Drevno is looking for work. Get the band back together!!
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:50 PM ^
We're on a mission from God...to destroy Michigan football.
(if we put the band back together with Drevno)
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:42 PM ^
Sam just broke this on Twitter - Moore is Co-OC and OL coach.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:46 PM ^
Co-OC? Wow.
Nothing against Moore, but after the talk of a guy like Moorhead coming in, this... is more of a deck chair shuffle. Unless Moore has shown some real breakout potential inside the room, but then, I'd have thought we'd have heard stuff like that leaked by now.
Honestly, it sounds like more of a referendum on Gattis than anything else.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:58 PM ^
Next year will be better by virtue of having spring ball, non conference warm up games, attrition for teams like Indiana and NW, and hopefully less covid tomfoolery. They also have time to find a replacement and secure people from the portal.
So, in short...

January 23rd, 2021 at 8:25 PM ^
Even though almost all of indiana's offensive starters were seniors, literally none of them are leaving so they will literally be the same team
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:58 PM ^
This doesn't fill me with excitement, but it may be a way to give one of the program's better recruiters (Moore) a raise and keep him happy.
January 24th, 2021 at 3:18 AM ^
We're going to find out once and for all if Michigan football's issue is mainly a talent shortcoming. This new-look coaching staff (except perhaps MM, and maybe he'll be good at it too) is being built for recruiting and let the chips fall where they may from there. High Risk : High Reward : Possible Disaster : Potential Phoenix.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:53 PM ^
This should not be surprising when Michigan gives Harbaugh a contract with next to nothing for a buyout. He has no job security. I can imagine the other big name assistant candidates preferred to explore other opportunities not wanting the risk of having to find another job in just one year.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:54 PM ^
This is exactly how the Dantonio era ended.
January 23rd, 2021 at 8:19 PM ^
No it isn't. Dantonio shuffled around roles but didn't actually change any of this assistants. Harbaugh has replaced 80% of his staff in hopes of reenergizing the program. It's a boom or bust kind of move. Let's hope it pans out
January 23rd, 2021 at 8:27 PM ^
No it's more like what Brian Kelly did at Notre Dame after his 4-8 year..
He literally fired everyone, and re-hired less experienced coordinators and has been more successful with lesser known guys ever since..
Kelly doesn't really have anyone that is a household name as a coordinator and i think any of us would take what they are doing right now even if we lost in the playoffs too
January 23rd, 2021 at 8:31 PM ^
No, afraid not! There were no staff changes on MSU staff! He kept his buddies around$
January 23rd, 2021 at 9:21 PM ^
I swear you must wear bifocals and they still haven’t been adjusted.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:56 PM ^
I liked Warriner or whatever the hell his name is but truthfully the team can lose 4 or 5 games with or without him. Hardly an insurmountable hurdle, however Harbaugh may already be at the insurmountable hurdle, might not even be able to clear a hill of beans. Let's see. Maybe the young guns can recruit to a level the LSU coach could win a natty with.
January 23rd, 2021 at 7:59 PM ^
Sad to see him go. But maybe anew blood will lead to new culture.
January 23rd, 2021 at 8:01 PM ^
Rumor mill! RB come on down!
January 23rd, 2021 at 8:52 PM ^
JH is certainly going for broke. Hope is our best strategy now.
January 23rd, 2021 at 9:45 PM ^
Moore is currently the best recruiter ever at UofM; Bellamy replaces the hole left after Wheatley.
And considering Warinner's performance as OC without Tom Herman, not sure why he's "clashing" with the younger staff here, especially the current OC.
Seems a little petty, almost like he was undermining.
Matters not though, in the end I think there needs to be one voice for the offense this year, Gattis or die.
January 23rd, 2021 at 9:58 PM ^
Good for Ed, great coach.
January 23rd, 2021 at 10:02 PM ^
Hooray football
January 23rd, 2021 at 11:57 PM ^
Is Warriner's son still on the team? He had transferred from State. Personally, love the youth movement, can relate to the players and get them motivated. Now Harbaugh needs to be the CEO and stay the hell back.
January 24th, 2021 at 12:05 AM ^
I thought Meyer and Warriner had a falling out when he left OSU?
January 24th, 2021 at 12:47 AM ^
I don’t think they did. I live in in the Jacksonville area. A few weeks ago, I heard a limousine coming through my neighborhood and it parked in the for sale sign nextdoor. A gray haired man and his wife went inside the house. They looked oddly like Urban and Shelley Meyer. Last night, I saw the limousine leave and a nice looking, moderately-priced car entering the driveway. Then, a large figure walked out of the car and into the house. He was wearing a Jags hat. An hour later, I hear vigorous moaning coming from the other house. Maybe the wife took the limo and left her husband home? I don’t know. Maybe that is the reason why Warriner is going to JAX? I don’t know.
