Greg Mattison Rumblings
Isiaah Hole just tweeted out an “woo boy”, followed by a “Say it ain’t so Matty” from Chris Wormley. Rumblings starting that Greg Mattison May be announcing retirement. Nothing confirmed, but there are several tweets with Mattison’s name linked. Bummer, if true.

Yea ok. Harbaugh wears out his welcome everywhere according to everyone. We thought it would be fine with players since they are only there 3-5 years.
Looks like its all the other coaches we have to worry about getting sick of Jim
January 7th, 2019 at 1:07 PM ^
If he's going to OSU...then we have some major issues going on. The guy's kid and grandkids live a half hour away. This is unreal
January 7th, 2019 at 1:14 PM ^
If they are offering him the DC position, I can certainly believe it. That is a hell of an offer to turn down. I don't know if it is really indicative of a problem at Michigan. We are not going to offer him the same position here.
January 7th, 2019 at 1:33 PM ^
Brandon Justice tweeting that he's expected to be the new OSU Defensive Coordinator.
January 7th, 2019 at 1:17 PM ^
^^This (referring to it being a sign of serious problems).
January 7th, 2019 at 1:08 PM ^
He's likely going to be the OSU DC. Webb said he can't confirm "right now", but can't deny it either.
January 7th, 2019 at 1:15 PM ^
It was also just reported that Schiano isn't returning to Ohio State, so Mattison to the Buckeyes as their new DC seems to make sense. Logistically anyways.
January 7th, 2019 at 1:18 PM ^
He sucked as a coordinator, so good bye Felisha
January 7th, 2019 at 1:27 PM ^
Nah, he didn't suck. He just wasn't as good as Don Brown.
January 7th, 2019 at 1:50 PM ^
His defense's at Michigan and Notre Dame weren't very good Magnus. We got better after he left and ND did also.
January 7th, 2019 at 3:14 PM ^
That's not great evidence. There's a big difference between sucking and being "not the best."
In Michigan's 4 losses the year before Mattison left, Michigan gave up 18 points per game.
January 7th, 2019 at 1:29 PM ^
Maybe this is what we need to shake up our offense. "Oh snap, Coach Matty knows this offense too well after defending against it every practice for 4 years. I guess we'll have to pass on first down every once in a while!"
January 7th, 2019 at 1:08 PM ^
Al Washington not Mattison
ok my bad read wrong one, good bye mattison
January 7th, 2019 at 1:13 PM ^
Read the Wolverines Wire article. It’s Mattison.
January 7th, 2019 at 1:08 PM ^
You can’t make this stuff up... unreal.
January 7th, 2019 at 1:08 PM ^
What. The. Fuck.
January 7th, 2019 at 1:08 PM ^
Bye Felicia
January 7th, 2019 at 1:08 PM ^
general eishenhower just joined the.....nazi's?
January 7th, 2019 at 1:20 PM ^
How awesome would it be if he were trolling OSU? Not saying that I think that's happening. But it would be one of my favorite things ever if he got all the way to signing a contract, put the pen on the paper, then looked up, grinned, dropped the pen, and burst into the biggest belly laugh you ever did see/hear.
January 7th, 2019 at 1:24 PM ^
after mining them for information about their defensive schemes and how he'd fit in. beautiful.
January 7th, 2019 at 1:08 PM ^
If true, what in the holy hell?
January 7th, 2019 at 1:08 PM ^
Man, not OSU...NOT OSU!!!
January 7th, 2019 at 1:08 PM ^
There is no god.
January 7th, 2019 at 1:09 PM ^
If there wasn't enough fuel to beat OSU. I want to shove it in Greg's face SO bad.
January 7th, 2019 at 1:11 PM ^
Un-Fucking-Believable
January 7th, 2019 at 1:12 PM ^
If true - ouch, that is going to leave a mark...
January 7th, 2019 at 1:13 PM ^
Not for nothing but this isn't the first time Mattison has spurned us for a rival. And last time we immediately won a national title.
January 7th, 2019 at 1:27 PM ^
I was coming to post the same thing.
January 7th, 2019 at 1:46 PM ^
And hey, we’re still running the same offense from ‘97 so maybe there’s a chance!
January 7th, 2019 at 1:13 PM ^
The last time Greg Mattison betrayed the Wolverines for a rival Michigan won a national championship. https://t.co/3ZdMMpA9GV

The amount of insider knowledge he will undoubtedly pass on to Ohio state is enormous. Something is very, very wrong in Ann Arbor.
January 7th, 2019 at 1:17 PM ^
You don't need much insider information to stop our offense in its current operating capacity.
January 7th, 2019 at 1:17 PM ^
Yes there is!
January 7th, 2019 at 1:28 PM ^
Maybe this very possibility will force the removal of Pep and the hire of a true OC.
January 7th, 2019 at 1:28 PM ^
Do they really need any help? Looked to me like they had tapped right into our game plan and comm system. They knew everything we were doing.
January 7th, 2019 at 1:14 PM ^
Hope it isn't true, but if so I wish him the best. Heck of a coach, and has given so much to Michigan. Definitely can't fault him for taking a promotion, and a likely pay increase. Good luck if its true. Michigan will be fine....
January 7th, 2019 at 1:31 PM ^
I don’t wish him the best or any luck if he goes to OSU
January 7th, 2019 at 1:15 PM ^
Obviously going to be a spy.
January 7th, 2019 at 1:24 PM ^
He's the Luca Brasi to Harbaugh's Vito Corleone...
January 7th, 2019 at 1:57 PM ^
You're saying he'll sleep with the fishes? That seems a bit extreme.
January 7th, 2019 at 1:28 PM ^
I'm on board with this. Hope he's a brilliant DC for them with an inexplicable hex that seems to materialize in the final game of the year.
January 7th, 2019 at 1:36 PM ^
I hope this move goes terrible for him and realizes how bad of a decision it was to leave Michigan.
January 7th, 2019 at 1:15 PM ^
Schiano out... maybe going as DC
January 7th, 2019 at 1:16 PM ^
He's been solid at Michigan. Wish him well.
January 7th, 2019 at 1:17 PM ^
Wish him well with his health and loved ones. I hope Michigan puts 63 on their defense.
January 7th, 2019 at 1:17 PM ^
I’m already starting to dislike Day more than Meyer and Harbaugh is still having tea parties with Pep Hamilton. Day becomes coach and then decides to just start swooning everyone on our staff to come join his? What the hell is that sabatage.
One of our best recruiters and position coaches going to Ohio State. Program is in disarray. How much insider knowledge can he give OSU?
I hate that school down south so much.
January 7th, 2019 at 1:21 PM ^
I mean, Michigan is not going to offer him the DC position. I would guess that OSU Defensive Coordinator is not an easy job to say no to, right? I'm not sure what this really reflects as to Michigan except that their D-line coach is really highly regarded.
January 7th, 2019 at 1:40 PM ^
What is this obsession OSU has with poaching Michigan staff... after they beat us? Is this sabotage? If so that's some weird insecurity. Schiano was under fire this season so his departure isn't a shock.
Mattison has been talking retirement for years - didn't he agree to stay on when Harbaugh was hired?
Despite people's unending negative comments here, we do have a talented coaching staff and these rumblings are a natural byproduct of that talent level. Mattison is a phenomenal recruiter and maybe that's something Day is worried about.
January 7th, 2019 at 1:17 PM ^
Get our asses beat by OSU & Florida back to back and now this. Yeah no problems in Ann Arbor guys....no problems at all.
