Both Hoke and Mattison
Both Hoke and Mattison
Both Hoke and Mattison oversee the D-Line. We'll be fine with whoever we get, and I doubt Brandon will have an issue opening up his pocketbooks to get the best.
I hope we go after some NFL talent or someone with southern ties. Someone who is a recruiting guru.

Questions...
Questions...
Doesn't Mattison have his roots as a DLine coach, in addition to Hoke? Do you have any insight on why Montgomery left UM for OU? More money, allegiance to Stoops, proximity to beaches (I kid)... I was just curious on why he would leave UM when they are on the up...

It's been reported that
It's been reported that Michigan countered with a "competitive package", so doesn't sound like it was money. Even though they both went to Iowa, they didn't overlap so not clear there would be some sort of allegiance there. Must have felt it was a better opportunity for him. With both Hoke and Mattison as DL coaches it's always possible he felt like he didn't have complete autonomy, too, but that's speculation on my part.

I knew Glen Steele in college. He was a terrific player and would probably make an effective coach, but he doesn't have the personality of a born recruiter. Plus, I don't really know what he's up to these days. So, whether he is a plausible candidate kind of depends on what you want out of a new hire.

Does anyone know how this has affected Bryan Mone? Would think it might discourage him some possibly.
As for who we are going to hire next.. I think it's going to be another linebacker coach specifically for the strongside. If the indications of Mattison moving down to the D-line with Hoke are true then it only makes sense. Can't wait to find out who it will be and hopefully they can find someone quickly.

Jim Herrmann
Jim Herrmann
I for one would be in favor of seeing Jim Herrmann comeback as a linebacker coach and having Mattison mover to DL coach. Just think about the attention Michigan will get from recruits with 2 former NFL coaches.
I think the bigger barrier to bringing back Soup is, then what do you do with Hecklinski? You can't move him to running backs, obviously. O-Line has Funk. Hecklinski has been a QB coach in the past, but I don't get the sense that Borges would be interested in letting someone else coach his QBs. Otherwise you could put Hecklinski on Tight Ends and make Ferrigno special teams only, which might be a good way to go,
Still, it seems preferable to just hire another defensive coach.
