What about Mike Singletary?

i know he has no college coaching experience, but he is defensive-minded, disciplinarian (whose leadership style fits college better than pro), hall of famer with midwest (chicago) as well as texas (baylor) and west coast (49'ers) roots.

i could see plenty of recruits coming to play for samurai mike.   i think he and barwis would make an awesome pair.

 

just trying to think outside the box

Rob Ryan will be hired.  He will be introduced at the b-ball game tomorrow and will then chop off Bill Self's head with a broad sword.  Then he will look into the camera and shout, "I'm coming for you next, Tressel!"

He will promptly be arrested and incarcerated for life, at which point we will settle for Brady Hoke.  Still, it will be the greatest 10 minutes in Michigan football history.

His only experience as a head coach was a failure.  In the NFC West which I think is actually an easier conference than the B1G.

I've been trying to float the idea too (though I do think starting a thread on the idea might be crazy). The thing about it is that he flamed out in the pros, but primarily for being too much of a college-style coach (and for poor communication with his staff). One of those is not a problem, and the other is likely to have been situational.

listen , most of what anyone posts on any of these threads is bs- like it's going to effect the search for real so i don't know why a thread on it is so bad- i don't post threads that often.

Hey what about Bill Belichick?

-He's already accomplished everything in the NFL, winning multiple Superbowls and on his way to another one.

- We'd only have to wait until February to get him!

- He passes the Michigan Man test as he's coached Tom Brady!

- He's known for great defenses and also utilizes spread concepts.

- He coaches in the cold so he would know how to win here.

- He cheats so we know he'd find a way to win at Michigan.

he has no college coaching experience. I copied and pasted that right from the OP's box. Need I say more. I would love to have him as a DC. In 1985 I lived about 90 mins away from Chicago and I loved watching him. Dude was a monster and very smart, but, that being said he should probably do a stent at a little bit smaller scale school. Recruiting on a national level can be tedious for someone who is not prepared.

I would rather have brady hoke, and thinking of him as michigans coach makes me violently ill. Ill leave it to one of the football today hosts, who said singletary "could be the single worst head coach in nfl history"
