Looks promising.
February 13th, 2024 at 10:15 PM ^
He looks really gaunt in that picture.
February 13th, 2024 at 10:17 PM ^
Yeah, I thought it was somebody else.
He looked better before Harbaugh took his entire defensive coaching staff.
February 13th, 2024 at 10:45 PM ^
I'm not sure any of Minter/Elston/Clinkscale would be here now even if Harbaugh hadn't hired them to the Chargers. They'd just be on some other NFL staff, like Jay Harbaugh is. Minter was in line for a pro DC job regardless, and once Elston/Clinkscale were passed over for our DC job, it's not too surprising they moved on.
February 13th, 2024 at 11:32 PM ^
Sure.
February 14th, 2024 at 3:02 AM ^
Found Warde's burner acct.
February 14th, 2024 at 8:58 AM ^
I'm not sure that's true. Elston and Clink are college football lifers. They're probably not getting NFL offers if it wasn't for Harbaugh. I guess an outside chance that Macdonald hires one of them, but I doubt it. This was their one chance for an NFL job and considering the quality of life between college and NFL coaches.....it's a no brainer for them to take their possibly one chance to jump to that level. JMO. If Harbaugh were still here, it's probably easier to massage egos with a veteran HC than first time one.
February 14th, 2024 at 11:02 AM ^
Warde proved to the regents that he saved the school about $20mil/yr by not fuckin paying anyone. Then turned around and demanded a raise.
February 13th, 2024 at 10:22 PM ^
Watching the basketball team will do that to you.
February 13th, 2024 at 10:46 PM ^
I'm a rail.
February 13th, 2024 at 11:36 PM ^
Watch them less
February 13th, 2024 at 11:31 PM ^
I regret that I only have one upvote to give you.
February 14th, 2024 at 12:57 AM ^
Looks like an AI rendition.
February 14th, 2024 at 6:49 AM ^
I agree, but camera angles are funny things. It's possible the image is somewhat misleading, just based on lighting/angle etc.
February 14th, 2024 at 7:45 AM ^
Wegovy/Ozempic
My wife took it for a month and lost 30 pounds. She stopped and it is all back six months later. With that HC money he can afford to pay $12k a year to be fit.
February 14th, 2024 at 9:12 AM ^
That shit will probably end up killing a lot of people anyway.
February 14th, 2024 at 1:22 PM ^
That's Sherrone Less
February 13th, 2024 at 10:20 PM ^
PLEASE TELL ME HE ISN’T TAKING RECRUITS TO BASKETBALL GAMES.
February 13th, 2024 at 10:24 PM ^
"Ya know, if you want to continue playing basketball, you can do that here."
February 14th, 2024 at 8:11 AM ^
they even started telling cornhole recruits that this year.
February 14th, 2024 at 5:47 AM ^
Maybe he's taking them to women's games? Not even being sarcastic, that would be an improvement.
February 14th, 2024 at 8:05 AM ^
At $500/ticket for the Iowa/Michigan game, that's a lot of hamburgers. Or were they cheeseburgers?
February 13th, 2024 at 10:22 PM ^
The linebackers coach is BJM, that’s been out there quite a bit, who is the defensive backs coach?
February 13th, 2024 at 10:46 PM ^
This. Why the secrecy?
February 14th, 2024 at 7:59 AM ^
My guess is they are doing background checks and crossing the Ts and stuff. Embarrassing for the program to announce a hiring and then have it fall through, or to be courting a coach and get turned down and make it look like you hired your 2nd or 3rd choice. No harm in keeping things quiet until they are 100% sure they are hiring the coach.
February 14th, 2024 at 8:47 AM ^
or to find out that their social media history is troubling....or to find out that they used to be a vacuum salesman with a manifesto...I'm all for ANY due diligence with coaching hires these days.
February 13th, 2024 at 10:47 PM ^
Down to Houston Texans safety coach Stephen Adegoke (was a staffer at Michigan 2019-21) and Louisiana DC Lamar Morgan (was a DBs coach for Minter at Vandy in 2021 and Sam said he was on Minter’s shortlist if Clink or Jay ever moved on)
February 13th, 2024 at 10:50 PM ^
Wonder why not Corey Parker from Toledo? I know Michigan CAN out pay them, not saying they would though.
February 14th, 2024 at 8:07 AM ^
Probably because Moore and Wink like these other two candidates better.
February 14th, 2024 at 8:59 AM ^
Why Corey Parker over those two?
Genuinely curious, as I don't know a thing about any of these three individuals (other than what was just posted)
February 13th, 2024 at 10:51 PM ^
Who ya got?
February 14th, 2024 at 11:09 AM ^
They both appear to be very good. I am encouraged.
February 14th, 2024 at 11:39 AM ^
I don't know a ton about either guy but Morgan's defenses at ULL were...fine, with them giving up 22 TDs to 13 picks at 7.2 ypa and generating 58 PDs while holding rushers to 3.9 ypc. I'm honestly not sure how good Sun Belt offenses are and SP+ didn't love them defensively. But as with Minter it's hard to tell how good a coach is with limited talent. Adegoke is a solid position coach in the NFL and has college experience. Both are young (I think Morgan is in his 30s while Adegoke is in his late 20s), and so shouldn't be against the grind of recruiting.
February 14th, 2024 at 12:53 AM ^
Ha. I got reamed for posting this rumor without immediately adding a link. Even after I posted link I got reamed....
February 14th, 2024 at 4:42 AM ^
You make a shitty post, you get shitty responses. It's how it goes around here. We have standards.
February 14th, 2024 at 6:34 AM ^
Ah, but you posted the link like this:

Not like this:

Your complaining is becoming brutal, to use someone's word.
February 14th, 2024 at 9:14 AM ^
Yours was a little better than ashit post.
This has both a source and a functional link.
February 14th, 2024 at 6:41 AM ^
If you go to Sams link all the names are actually in the free preview part of the article. I was surprised
February 14th, 2024 at 7:53 AM ^
I better hurry up and read it before they catch it.
February 14th, 2024 at 8:18 AM ^
Don't worry. You don't even need to go to the article. All the names are in the URL.
February 13th, 2024 at 10:24 PM ^
I really like the hires he's made (assuming the reports are true). Bumping up Campbell and Tress to replace Moore and Herbert were the right moves. No sense in going external for an OC, since Moore is an offensive guy himself. Hopefully Tress can replicate Herbert's mojo.
I like that he's continuing the trend of hiring younger guys with recruiting chops (especially since he brought in Wink as an elder statesman with stellar X and O bonafides).
February 13th, 2024 at 10:28 PM ^
At this point, I’d like to actually see the University officially announce Wink as the DC and Scruggs as the DL coach.
February 14th, 2024 at 6:42 AM ^
Im starting to wonder why Wink hasnt been announced yet. Hopefully doesn’t mean he’s still holding out for an NFL job or something
February 14th, 2024 at 7:25 AM ^
I assume/hoping they are doing detailed background checks for the employees they are bringing in from the outside.
They don’t want a repeat of Shemy Schembechler.
February 13th, 2024 at 10:47 PM ^
I'm looking forward to spring ball. See how organized everything is, or isn't. I expect it won't be the well oiled machine it was last couple years given all the turnover, but looking forward to getting a feel of the new regime.
February 13th, 2024 at 11:43 PM ^
I watched PJ Fleck's first spring game at Western. Was the most disorganized thing I'd ever seen. Meant precisely nothing in the grand scheme of things.
February 14th, 2024 at 2:30 AM ^
Why did you row there?
February 15th, 2024 at 2:19 AM ^
It was on a stream. Married to a CMU alum, it’s one of my husbandly duties to keep track of CMU & WMU football.
