Coaching for the UM instead of ASU should send him rocketing up the charts.
January 16th, 2019 at 4:03 PM ^
So how does he rank compared to other coaches? Can he have a bigger impact on our dline than mattison?
January 16th, 2019 at 4:11 PM ^
#1 in the universe and our hearts. ❤️
January 16th, 2019 at 4:30 PM ^
It definitely is positive in at least two ways:
1) Brings on a guy with a good reputation as a coach and strong recruiter.
2) Should bring an abrupt end to the idiotic posts about bringing back Brady Hoke as the DL coach.

Are you sure? I mean we just had a RIP Keith Jackson post.
January 16th, 2019 at 4:59 PM ^
Did Keith Jackson really die already?
January 16th, 2019 at 8:52 PM ^
could have been a REMAIN in peace post.
January 17th, 2019 at 6:33 AM ^
HEY! I took my lumps, like a man. LoL
January 16th, 2019 at 4:03 PM ^
Nua it all along
January 16th, 2019 at 4:06 PM ^
Nua you didn’t
January 16th, 2019 at 4:41 PM ^
He has a band called Shaun Nua Nua.
January 16th, 2019 at 4:51 PM ^
Nua way!?!
January 16th, 2019 at 4:03 PM ^
Lots of youth being added to the staff... you could even say that it's the dawn of a Nua day!
January 16th, 2019 at 4:18 PM ^
I expect he'll add a NUAnce to the defence that we haven't seen before.
January 16th, 2019 at 4:07 PM ^
I have no idea what to think of this hire, but I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and think he will be alright.
January 16th, 2019 at 4:22 PM ^
You mean you have Nua idea what to think... I’ll see myself out ?
January 16th, 2019 at 4:07 PM ^
So, we now know Nua's news, no?
January 16th, 2019 at 4:21 PM ^
Nua’s news is good news.
January 16th, 2019 at 4:08 PM ^
Nua-ice!!!
January 16th, 2019 at 4:53 PM ^
Nua Me Timbers
January 16th, 2019 at 4:08 PM ^

Coach em up and keep em healthy. Welcome Coach Nua!!! GO BLUE
January 16th, 2019 at 4:10 PM ^
Wearing the Super Bowl ring can't hurt on the recruiting trail.
January 16th, 2019 at 4:11 PM ^
I wish his name was Shaun Nuahs.
January 16th, 2019 at 4:11 PM ^
pro's
former byu grad, that played in the nfl with poly background spells high potential as a recruiter
con's
below pep on 247 recruiting rankings, high 400's
asu was #65 on yards per opponent play, #75 on yards per opponent pass play and #54 on sack percentage
January 16th, 2019 at 4:14 PM ^
Well, he recruited to ASU for 1 year, and Navy before that... recruiting to a service academy has to be very tough.
January 16th, 2019 at 4:19 PM ^
What he said
January 16th, 2019 at 4:48 PM ^
Great ties with Sean Magee. Go Navy!
January 16th, 2019 at 5:09 PM ^
Recruiting to a service academy is not comparable. Even the rules are far different.
One year at ASU under a new coach is such a small sample. More relevant than his ranking would be how he comes across in interviews and his background. As long as he wants to be a good recruiter, he should do fine.
My priority would be that he's a good coach. DL is a big position group that relies a lot on technique.
January 16th, 2019 at 5:13 PM ^
Teaching technique and leverage at the Academy when your guys are 30-50 lbs lighter? Yeah, he will do just fine. Oh, and recruiting to Navy isn't hard? Evaluating 2-3 star talent that can win?
Oh, and he slowed down that vaunted MSU run game. :)
January 16th, 2019 at 5:31 PM ^
In Mr. Miggles' defense, I think he's saying that the service academy recruits are literally held to a different standard and as such, it's impossible to really compare recruiting there to other places due to the standards and obligations kids will take on.
January 16th, 2019 at 5:36 PM ^
I would say that it is even harder. I get where he is coming from and definitely respect his opinion, but it is still D1 football.
January 16th, 2019 at 8:08 PM ^
It's just completely different. It may well be harder to recruit to Navy, but it's a different type of job.
First, the talent pool is limited. The entrance requirements are high and there's obviously a greater commitment required. It's cliche to say that recruits should commit based on the school, not on the coaches. It rings true with service academies.
Second, the 25/85 rules do not apply to service academies and they have taken some monster sized classes.. That lessens the need to be selective. A good thing since they only get a handful of 3* recruits and they compete in a decent conference.
The coaching does translate. In some ways it seems ideal. As you mentioned, they're undersized and have to rely on technique. Also there's a bagman free atmosphere and high standards for the conduct of the staff. You'd hate to hire a highly ranked recruiter only to find out he's used to cutting corners.
January 16th, 2019 at 4:11 PM ^
Open up that Samoan pipeline?
January 16th, 2019 at 4:43 PM ^
Needs to be a big pipe.

January 16th, 2019 at 4:13 PM ^
I told y'all!
January 16th, 2019 at 4:15 PM ^
Welcome Coach Nua, way to GoBlue!
January 16th, 2019 at 4:15 PM ^
My buddy is ASU alum and season ticket holder. He is not happy about this, says it's a great addition for us. They were extremely high on him.
January 16th, 2019 at 4:19 PM ^
I know him through my wife's brother's cousin. Michigan is going to get 10 sacks a game. Radback it!
January 16th, 2019 at 5:05 PM ^
Trying a bit too hard there champ. I appreciate the intent though.
January 16th, 2019 at 4:54 PM ^
He can recruit! We like him!
January 16th, 2019 at 5:06 PM ^
UMB11, can you give any insight as to whether or not the communication issues between the coaches and players as been addressed?
January 16th, 2019 at 5:10 PM ^
You need to be more specific. I won't jump into the heresy.
January 16th, 2019 at 5:18 PM ^
Specifically about players' standing on the depth chart related to injuries that might've caused some friction with certain players. Just curious because it seemed like something was up with the team in the last 1/3rd of the season. Thanks for any input, I understand if you can't comment on the topic.
From Mr. Yost:
In addition, Harbaugh is a shitty communicator on almost everything...so HE may be benching you because he thinks you're a pussy and you should practice or play through being hurt because you're not actually injured...but he may not tell you. Now this is 2018, if you're an 18 year old black kid in today's climate...do you think it's out of the question you or your family may question if it's race if no one is being straight up? Especially when people are in your ear and undoubtedly there is someone who is going to mention it and make you think, even if you weren't thinking about it before. Again, Harbaugh has to know that's coming.
...
Mind you - in Harbaugh's defense, if you're a coach, you CANNOT say "I think you're being a pussy and you should be practicing and playing through this being hurt...and if you're truly injured, sit your ass on the bench and get out of my practice." That would be a disaster. So the communication never happens, minds wander, it's a fucking mess. In reality it's Harbaugh that's going to have to change, the kid in 2018, going on 2019, is not.
January 16th, 2019 at 5:26 PM ^
Where on earth did this come from?
January 16th, 2019 at 5:33 PM ^
Okay, I see where you are coming from now. Let's just say I know of one big fella that missed a lot of practice time and game snaps because he wasn't available to practice or play due to being hurt or injured. Some guys want it more than others. It happens every year though. it doesn't just happen at Michigan. Yost hit this one pretty well in your example.
