Come on Ceci - at least play the game right!

why?...

This guy

Mike Jones?

I thought you meant Durkin had put his hands on one of his staff members in an inappropriate way.
EDIT: Original title of this thread was "Durkin Grabs a Staff Member". I'm sticking with my original post.

Still isn't right. Michigan staffers all have large members - nothing minor about them.
January 7th, 2016 at 4:24 PM ^
That's why they call them staffers
January 7th, 2016 at 3:07 PM ^
Logged in to get pissed. Leaving with a shrug.
January 7th, 2016 at 3:15 PM ^
click-bait media outlets. You're not getting paid for clicks.
January 7th, 2016 at 3:07 PM ^
He is already grabbing members of his staff by the member? WTF! He won't last long if he keeps doing that.
January 7th, 2016 at 3:16 PM ^
This isn't Notre Dame!
January 7th, 2016 at 3:23 PM ^
the showers at the Lasch building at Penn State.
January 7th, 2016 at 3:39 PM ^
to get a Penn State jab in here.
January 7th, 2016 at 4:28 PM ^
Schultz (the finance guy who supervised the chief of campus police) did testify he knew the the grabbing of the members was something Sandusky did, but that somehow didn't merit a call to Schultz' own PSU police force.

rough.

I gotta say, that I far prefer the photo of Coach Brown with the happy-to-be-me 12 year old little boy haircut, the one where the bangs were cut straight across....a photo with him at UConn... makes me chuckle.
January 7th, 2016 at 3:57 PM ^
we got 1.21 gigiwatts of power!!!!!! no stopping that!
January 7th, 2016 at 3:09 PM ^
Good for him. I'm glad he got a full time coaching opportunity with someone he worked with before.
January 7th, 2016 at 3:23 PM ^
Has ties to Durkin before Michigan. He was a defense/special teams grad assistant at Florida for 3 years.
January 7th, 2016 at 3:54 PM ^
Maryland... not to mention he was an interim coach at Florida and previous grad assistant.
Smart hire by Durkin. Barnes is a local dude as well ...from the Washington Post...
Barnes also has ties to the region as a 2008 graduate of Salisbury University, located on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Barnes played football for four years at the school.

Isn't Defensive Analyst the position Chuck Pagano was offered?

is living backwards like Merlin. He knows the future because he already lived it. If he needs to know the past he just googles it.
January 7th, 2016 at 3:54 PM ^
Is Harbaugh, THE_KNOWLEDGE?!?
January 7th, 2016 at 3:15 PM ^
Yes. Michigan had three defensive analysts on staff this year - Dave Adolph, Matt Barnes, and Antonio James.
January 7th, 2016 at 3:49 PM ^
Nice info, but apparently you left out the size of their members Magnus.

I'm glad it wasn't someone more significant on our staff, sounds like an easily replaceable guy.
January 7th, 2016 at 3:30 PM ^
This guy seems meh, but his other hires have potential.
Beatty was Virginia's running backs coach under new Maryland defensive line coach/associate head coach Mike London last season and had reportedly joined the Syracuse staff as wide receivers coach in December. Beatty's previous coaching stops include Wisconsin, Illinois, Vanderbilt, West Virginia and Northern Illinois. He was NFL star Percy Harvin's high school coach in the early 2000s and also helped recruit Baltimore high school star Tavon Austin to West Virginia.Sounds like this guy will be a + recruiter for Durkin in the DMV area.
January 7th, 2016 at 3:43 PM ^
Must be nice to live in such a talent-rich place that you can just stroll up to the local DMV and grab players waiting in line to renew their plates.
January 7th, 2016 at 3:54 PM ^
...that Manziel has any remaining eligibility?
January 7th, 2016 at 3:11 PM ^
Never heard of the man. Good luck to him, though.
