Noice. I like what Sherrone is doing
February 2nd, 2024 at 4:45 PM ^
Let's hope he's also a good recruiter, anyone have any Intel on that?
Congrats and great, not just good, luck Mr. Casula!!!
February 2nd, 2024 at 5:09 PM ^
Hiring an entire staff younger than me?
February 2nd, 2024 at 5:11 PM ^
Seems to be hiring only people who have worked here before. Not sure I feel one way or another about it, but DC will be the most important choice
February 2nd, 2024 at 3:58 PM ^
Line 'em up!!
February 2nd, 2024 at 4:06 PM ^
No Shea photo credit?
February 2nd, 2024 at 3:58 PM ^
Don Brown's OC? Interesting.
February 2nd, 2024 at 4:00 PM ^
He must have performed well to go from analyst with Michigan to OC.
February 2nd, 2024 at 4:15 PM ^
He was the OC at Ferris State before he came to Michigan, so he wasn't without experience. I'll bet he was one of the better offensive analysts, which is why Don Brown took him and why Moore wants him back.
February 2nd, 2024 at 4:23 PM ^
He must have lit up Don Brown’s defense in practice. Slant pass after slant pass.
February 2nd, 2024 at 6:04 PM ^
Mesh concepts
February 2nd, 2024 at 6:08 PM ^
UMass was terrible but their offense was functional. Had a RB with 1500 yards rushing and a WR with 12 TDs. A promising hire.
February 2nd, 2024 at 4:05 PM ^
He's got a lot of OC experience for such a young coach. Sure, three years at Davenport, two at Ferris State and two at UMass might not dazzle anyone, but still, that's a lot of responsibility and he's worked his way up. Two VERY successful years for Ferris, too.
Don't know anything else about him, but I like what I see on paper. Plus he knows the program.
February 2nd, 2024 at 4:07 PM ^
I certainly don't mind him learning under Tony Annesse for a few years
February 2nd, 2024 at 4:29 PM ^
As long as that learning was restricted to on-field stuff. :)
February 2nd, 2024 at 4:59 PM ^
Tony may let his guys smoke cigars, not a big deal. I do hope he taught him to hide the shade a bit better than Michigan has had in the past.
February 2nd, 2024 at 5:14 PM ^
Right on. Talk about a sleazy guy, almost a cartoon character
February 2nd, 2024 at 4:05 PM ^
This is turning out to be a transition that keeps the familiar faces to a team chemistry that does not need to be fixed.
February 2nd, 2024 at 6:08 PM ^
I'm reminded of a tweet (I think it was from Anson) when Hackett brought Harbaugh back: "We're bringing the band back together".
February 2nd, 2024 at 4:10 PM ^
I’m sorry but am I the only one that thought of Jim Tomsula?? Waiting for the fart in the middle of the press conference?
February 2nd, 2024 at 4:11 PM ^
Nothing to do with the hire. Just the name 🤦🏻♂️ I’ll see myself out….
February 2nd, 2024 at 4:49 PM ^
Unleash the QB runs! Impressive resume.
February 2nd, 2024 at 6:09 PM ^
I wonder if this hire is any indication that Moore could see what we all saw the last few years with JJ/Cade. Maybe it was Harbaugh after all who handcuffed our QBs
February 2nd, 2024 at 6:57 PM ^
Definitely Harbaugh. Also Orgi (if he’s the guy) is a much different type of runner.
February 2nd, 2024 at 7:47 PM ^
No doubt it was Harbaugh that throttled the QB run, and a lot of the pass, in the Harbaughffense. Personally, I'm okay with the pass numbers although I would prefer some better (more imaginative) routes. And with the QB run game, certainly wanted more of that but also more options for a pass off those plays. Otherwise, the Harbaughffense won a National Championship scoring 36 ppg. It was okay...
February 2nd, 2024 at 4:17 PM ^
This guy coached under Tony Annese, and the OC coached at ODU. That is option football.
February 2nd, 2024 at 4:19 PM ^
It's Orji time!
February 2nd, 2024 at 4:22 PM ^
Congratulations! Great way to start a weekend.
February 2nd, 2024 at 4:27 PM ^
I find it’s better on a Saturday evening when everyone is well rested
February 2nd, 2024 at 4:20 PM ^
Wouldn’t be surprised if he helps Kirk develop game plans that involve a good amount of QB runs. This points towards Orji having a leg up going into spring.
February 2nd, 2024 at 4:23 PM ^
It pointed that way when we were content to go into spring with Orji seemingly one on the depth chart. Wasn't sure with Campbell because he's a qb guy, but then this hire is doubling down.
February 2nd, 2024 at 4:28 PM ^
We go in with the Orji plan and if he gets hurt Campbell can have Denegal ready to pull a Braxton Miller/Cardale Jones type of switcheroo and air it out
February 2nd, 2024 at 4:39 PM ^
Can we ask a young offense to learn two completely different schemes? I feel like we'll need a second running QB if Orji is the guy.
February 2nd, 2024 at 4:51 PM ^
Denegal and Davis can move a little bit, so can the QB recruit from Florida.
February 2nd, 2024 at 5:21 PM ^
Denegal might be the first guy to start. Harbaugh mentioned him first several times recently.
February 2nd, 2024 at 4:30 PM ^
Orgi is going to be a household name in a few months.........every household will have an Orgi
February 2nd, 2024 at 4:31 PM ^
Orji to TE?
/s
February 2nd, 2024 at 4:32 PM ^
Orji having a leg up
February 2nd, 2024 at 5:01 PM ^
I mean, but of course...
February 2nd, 2024 at 5:04 PM ^
Ground-and-Pound Orji Era has begun!
February 2nd, 2024 at 5:21 PM ^
I can get with a spread triple option with Orji as the point man, Kal-el as the dive back and Dono as a wing back/pitch man. Would put defenses in a bind mix in som TE play action down the seam.
February 2nd, 2024 at 7:51 PM ^
When did Kalel become Kal-el?
February 2nd, 2024 at 9:29 PM ^
When he turns into Superman.
February 2nd, 2024 at 4:24 PM ^
This one more or less confirms that we're largely in for a bunch of "trust coach" and wait and see type hires, rather than national headlines type hires.
As ma used to say, "we'll see said the blind man."
February 2nd, 2024 at 4:42 PM ^
Dude, he's just the TE coach. Can you really name a "national headline type" for the position of TE coach? Heck, can you honestly name any other TE coach in CFB without looking it up? If you can, props to you, but also that's weird.
He's had OC experience as well as being an analyst here. It's not as if he's some grad assisstant/gopher from a Div II school no one's ever heard of.
February 2nd, 2024 at 4:48 PM ^
Vince Marrow - but even Harbaugh swung and missed on him a couple times.
February 2nd, 2024 at 5:03 PM ^
Let me qualify the statement then. Some moves have the benefit of network buzz, while others generate national buzz. Ooohs and Aaahs aren't a guarantee for anything one way or the other, as we Michigan fans well know. BUT as a fan in the current moment, the only recent move that generated national headline-level buzz did so in the negative (i.e., losing Herbert).
Again, chances are that these are all really good moves. But they aren't the kind of moves that generate, for instance, Bama-extracting-assistants-from-the-head-coaching-ranks levels of buzz. Or Georgia landing Travaris Robinson levels of buzz. As in, something obvious to offset the aforementioned bummer. That's all I'm saying.
February 2nd, 2024 at 5:13 PM ^
To be honest, it's probably going to be hard for a rookie head coach to land a really prominent assistant coach. Even Harbaugh mostly rolled with young, hungry types.
February 2nd, 2024 at 5:30 PM ^
Did the hiring of Sherrone Moore as tight ends coach in 2018 produce any buzz whatsoever?
