Would Mattison go to OSU ?
There is actually a post over at Bucknuts hoping that Michigan cleans house this week so that they can hire Greg Mattison as their Defensive Coordinator. At first I laughed at this idea, but I know Mattison worked for Urban Meyer back in Florida and are probably still friends.
I think there is a good chance this might happen if/when Hoke gets fired and if the new Coach does not retain him. OSU seems unhappy with their defense and what better way to solve their problem and stick it to us at the same time.
I am hoping he goes back to the NFL or decides to retire rather than ending up in Columbus

Mattison is mediocre. He won't go to OSU, but I hope he does.

Don't be surprised if Greg Mattison is retained by the news head coach and given the opportunity to hire the defensive position coaches.

Mattison will probably be in Naples with a cold drink in his hand. Good for him he's earned it.

could we be so lucky?

Top 10 against mostly shitty Big Ten offenses. Suck a fatter one.
November 30th, 2014 at 1:28 AM ^
Is the word "context" in your vernacular anywhere at all? Because you really need to look into the numbers of that "top 10" defense. Trust me, it's not all it's cracked up to be.

lol Mattison would never go to Columbus.

He may not have had the best defense in the country the last two years but I'll forever like him for steadying our defense from the RR era.
November 30th, 2014 at 8:02 AM ^
My grandmother could have improved upon those defenses. He did just what any competent DC would have done. And that's what he's been ever since - merely competent.

RR may still have some defense problems. I would give almost anything for his offense. and his record.

10 years ago, possible/probably? He does have a working relationship with Urban but I think he's much more likely to retire in Ann Arbor than he is to go to Columbus. His daughter and her family leave nearby right? I think he'll hang up the clipboard

If they want the same guy who couldn't figure out that the Buckeyes couldn't stretch the field once Barrett went out and still didn't load the box, more power to them. Today was just a reminder that even though our head coach is a defensive mind and our defensive coordinator is supposedly one of the best in his field, the defense has not been good enough, even when the offense has been.

just like I like Hoke a a person, but our defense, like the rest of the team, is in bad need of an upgrade. Position coches and coordinator alike. Sorry, but if he were toleave I would expect a much improved defense under a Harbaugh or Miles led team. The evidence is there.

Nope.

Just as long as we upgrade substantially the HC position over Hoke! It seem Mattison defense was better with less talented players in 2011. His defenses seem to give up a lot of yards, never get much pressure on opposing QBs and the secondary is often sive like! A lot of 3rd and longs have been converted. I would say overall we just have an average defense!

SO I don't see why he wouldn't go to Columbus if he decides to keep coaching. He's a guy used to working with top notch facilities, so it's another blue blood, NFL team or retirement. He didn't come back to Michigan because he's some true blue Wolverine.
Guy's a merc. A merc with a buddy who is a crap head coach.
November 30th, 2014 at 7:58 AM ^
You do realize that we gave up 28 points in the second half to OSU, right? If they took Mattison, that would be great for us in terms of being able to upgrade our defense and beat an OSU team with its own perennially underachieving defense.

Ohio State will probalby hire Will Muschamp as DC.
November 30th, 2014 at 10:10 AM ^
I would love to see Muschamp at ND. Coaches' faces exploding would be great to see.
November 30th, 2014 at 9:53 AM ^
Keep mattison and Nuss, just get rid of everybody else above and below them. Nuss needs more than a year, mattison has good relations with the harbaugh clan (if he is the hire) get all new assistants, line coach rb coach etc.

People forget this is the same guy that bailed on Michigan after the Ohio State game in 1996 to go to Notre Dame. Out of the blue, he's heading to South Bend. I don't think that happens now, but I wouldn't be surprised.
November 30th, 2014 at 12:26 PM ^
He always loved UM, and yes, he has family in Michigan. He took the ND job to be near his daughter. I have a daughter, and let me tell you, if she moves to Lower Slobovia, I'd consider moving, just to be near her.
