Steve Casula tabbed as new TE Coach.
Per Freep. Please don't negbomb me to death. Former UM Analyst. https://www.freep.com/story/sports/college/university-michigan/wolverines/2024/02/10/michigan-football-steve-casula-tight-ends-coach-new-hire/72553683007/

It's cool.
I vote we have a moratorium on "banned" sources until we have a coaching staff in place.
These "banned" sources are no worse than our "good" sources anyway . . .
February 10th, 2024 at 6:33 PM ^
That's Fair.
February 10th, 2024 at 6:40 PM ^
Agree. Some of these banned sites are stupid anyways. When signgate was going on Barstool was the only major site calling it what it was and fighting back. Plus it's been proven time and again these "insiders" have no real information. Sam, Hole, Balas none of them.
February 10th, 2024 at 7:07 PM ^
Barstool is not a sports site. It’s a college lifestyle site and should be treated as such
February 10th, 2024 at 7:24 PM ^
Yes, and college football is a lifestyle in which I like to partake
February 10th, 2024 at 7:53 PM ^
Barstool doesn't do real reporting; it's a fan-site for frat boys that's run by the most embarrassing Michigan fan in the world.
February 10th, 2024 at 9:16 PM ^
Connor Stalions runs Barstool?
February 10th, 2024 at 11:11 PM ^
Right, go take a lap
February 10th, 2024 at 8:38 PM ^
Not a good idea to attack Sam as a journalist. It demonstrates your ignorance of what professional journalism looks like.
February 10th, 2024 at 9:43 PM ^
Journalists demonstrate their ignorance of what professional journalism looks like on a daily basis.

Username checks out.
February 10th, 2024 at 11:40 PM ^
OK except for the Freep.
February 10th, 2024 at 6:33 PM ^
I thought this was already announced.
February 10th, 2024 at 7:02 PM ^
It’s been known but wasn’t official until today
February 10th, 2024 at 7:47 PM ^
It was, but then he flew to LA for an interview. Now it's officially official.
February 10th, 2024 at 8:37 PM ^
Oh well if he was in LA for an interview Ill wait another 5-7 business days to make sure he doesn't change his mind too
February 10th, 2024 at 6:33 PM ^
Former analyst as in a guy who was already on staff?
Oy vey.
February 10th, 2024 at 6:34 PM ^
Spent last two years as UMass OC.
February 10th, 2024 at 7:03 PM ^
Former analyst as in a guy who used to be an analyst and then went to a different job (as an OC) and is now coming back.
February 10th, 2024 at 6:34 PM ^
Seems like a great choice.
February 10th, 2024 at 6:54 PM ^
Meanwhile, Beano Cook is coaching up The Bear
February 10th, 2024 at 6:44 PM ^
The Free Press is as late as my wife was 22 years ago
February 10th, 2024 at 8:14 PM ^
I apologize for my wrongdoing.
February 10th, 2024 at 6:53 PM ^
Is he good?
February 10th, 2024 at 6:58 PM ^
Titanic sinks.
February 10th, 2024 at 7:06 PM ^
The Freep ban, if there is still one, is silly. Maybe ban a reporter or two but those guys are gone.
February 10th, 2024 at 7:10 PM ^
It and the barstool ban among others are asinine, thin-skinned, reactionary nonsense.
February 10th, 2024 at 7:55 PM ^
#fuckfreep #neverforget
February 10th, 2024 at 7:59 PM ^
Yeah I don’t understand the barstool hate. Especially with Portnoy being a Michigan grad. But we post Webb, Henshke and Balas who are running at about a 30% success rate..
February 10th, 2024 at 8:33 PM ^
Barstool relishes frat bro irreverence, intentionally toes the line (and frankly steps over it), and is frequently misogynistic. Their goal is generally to entertain rather than to educate, unless you enjoy gambling discussions. Portnoy's unabashed passion for Michigan and trolling of rivals can be enjoyable to watch at times, but overall Barstool isn't producing content that enriches the MGoBlog experience.
Meanwhile, the Free Press has long eschewed journalistic integrity in favor of using a few contrarian, negative sports columnists over the years who would describe every molehill as a mountain and often write hot-takes aiming to rile up audiences for attention, an all to common trend plaguing sports media.
February 10th, 2024 at 10:31 PM ^
Barstool? Didn’t they have a female CEO? Don’t follow much from them just unaware of the reason for the grievance.
February 10th, 2024 at 10:50 PM ^
You aren't familiar with Barstool staples like "Local Smokeshow of the Day", "Twerk Tuesdays", "Guess That Ass", and "Guess That Rack", featuring images posted without permission? Or the frequent mockery of women's sports (particularly the WNBA) and the hate/bullying of female broadcasters and journalists?
And then this quote from a blog post by Dave Portnoy himself in 2010: “I never condone rape, but if you are a size 6 and wearing skinny jeans you kind of deserve to be raped, right?” When the quote was later repeated to him in an interview, Portnoy replied: "Correct. I stand by it. It's a funny joke."
February 11th, 2024 at 10:14 AM ^
TLDR: No politics on the board, unless its politics which I agree with, in which case its fine.
February 10th, 2024 at 11:14 PM ^
El Prez knows how to make money and run a business. Simple as that, he is successful. Appreciate that, remove your ego
February 11th, 2024 at 9:55 AM ^
No, he's a misogynistic and a rapist.
February 10th, 2024 at 7:12 PM ^
Nice to have it be official. Sherrone still has a few slots to fill and plenty of 'crootin to do.
February 10th, 2024 at 7:39 PM ^
Wasn’t this announced last week?
not negging the OP, but I thought this was old news.
February 10th, 2024 at 9:14 PM ^
Not officially.
February 10th, 2024 at 7:52 PM ^
you can find like 1000 other links about this instead of doing the "dont neg me" thing
use google
February 10th, 2024 at 8:18 PM ^
I should have done my research. You are correct. I will accept my punishment to Bolivia. It is earned.
February 10th, 2024 at 7:56 PM ^
Again?
February 10th, 2024 at 8:34 PM ^
Yea , he went to chargers then came back …
February 10th, 2024 at 8:33 PM ^
Read Option knowledge to help sheronne as he coached Tight ends . Watched some Ferris film ! He ran some cool shit and explosive trick plays
February 10th, 2024 at 8:40 PM ^
Welcome Coach Casula. Go Blue!
February 10th, 2024 at 9:26 PM ^
In the OP’s defense, it feels like a decade of shit has gone down since Harbaugh left. And, it’s good news. I say run with it. +1.
February 10th, 2024 at 9:46 PM ^
Saw that Navorro Bowman also took the Chargers LB coach position, not that we had an LB coach to tap up.
February 10th, 2024 at 11:02 PM ^
🚨Breaking News🚨 Jim Harbaugh has taken the Big House to be the Chargers home field.
