I had a colicky newborn and DVR'd the 2nd half. I did have the best Sunday morning of my life, however.

I'm pretty sure we'd have a grad assistant there regardless - it's not an either/or.
February 1st, 2018 at 1:22 PM ^
At least Roy has coached the WR postion for the last 3 years at various colleges. I guess that is baby steps in the right direction.

Do we know this? He's been a coach for a few years, but Indiana State was winless this year with a horrible offense. I know that doesn't necessarily reflect on Roy's coaching, I'd just like to see some testimonial about his impact at ISU.
February 1st, 2018 at 2:27 PM ^
As per your request.
I, Red is Blue, do solemnly swear that Roy Roundtree had an impact at ISU.

I'm pretty sure this guy qualifies as experienced, The management and organisational aspects wont fall directly on him so he can learn that from some of the best, but if you think he is'nt qualified to coach you have no clue what makes an effective coach.

First he says Denard's a poor thrower, then he completes two absolutely perfect pases.
As soon as Gallon catches that first pass, he immediately says "Michigan's gonna score" and Gallon's stopped 15 yards from the end zone.
Then he completely whiffs on the TD call.
And he does all this in the same monotone voice. Where's Tom Hammond when you need him?
February 1st, 2018 at 2:05 PM ^
I'm partial to drunk Brent Musburger for that call.
"Wide open is Gallon, they left him alone!" "Lobs it up, caught, I don't believe this RORY ROUNDTREE"

I wanted Chad Ochocinco
February 1st, 2018 at 1:31 PM ^
Ocho has expressed interest in coaching the position on Twitter. If Herm Edwards in coaching then Ocho can too

Chad would probably be a great coach, and I'm all for second chances, but the dude had domestic battery and assault convictions in both 2000 and 2012.
I wouldn't touch him in a normal climate, and especially not with all the crap going on in EL. If an NFL team wants to give him a shot that's fine, but a college team would be incredibly tone deaf and potentially dangerous. I do believe that he is remorseful, but you can't take that chance.
February 1st, 2018 at 1:28 PM ^
Perhaps my reading comprehension is bad, but did that article say that we are basically swapping WR coaches with Indiana State? He was the WR coach at ISU, and the article says that he's coming to Michigan since Joe Hastings took that job at ISU?
I really like Roy Roundtree, but it seems like we should be able to bring in more experience rather than trade coaches with a Missouri Valley Conference team.
February 1st, 2018 at 1:36 PM ^
We are going from a grad assistant with zero previous coaching experience, to a grad assistant with three years WR coach experience. Both have been coaching since 2015, so depending on how you value 3 years WR G.A. position at Michigan vs. 3 years WR coach position at lower divison level. At worst they break even.
February 1st, 2018 at 1:38 PM ^
The article is not super clear, but my understanding is that the ISU position is an actual position coach rather than a grad assistant. So Michigan gets a position coach as a grad assistant, Hastings gets a position coaching spot, and Roy gets to come home. Win-win-win?
February 1st, 2018 at 1:34 PM ^
He's coached the position for the last few years and has played in both college and NFL at the same position. Not a sexy hire but it's baby steps, who knows maybe he'll do really good especially with recruiting and joins the staff.
February 1st, 2018 at 1:31 PM ^
Good for him, hopefully he makes the most of the opportunity.
February 1st, 2018 at 1:32 PM ^
Roy Roundtree is an extremely wonderful guy
February 1st, 2018 at 1:32 PM ^
Does this likely point to a second OL coach as our 10th coach? Ed Warinner?
February 1st, 2018 at 2:02 PM ^
do we even know if warinner is definitely on staff? what was the deal with maybe going to the titans?
February 1st, 2018 at 2:08 PM ^
February 1st, 2018 at 2:12 PM ^
if you look at Warriner's twitter bio, he's Blue. Odd that there's been no talk about him. Sam and Ira avoid the topic like the plague on wtka, so who knows?

Harbaugh plays the long con and in the process trolls Saban. Lets Pep go, Drevno focuses on OL and brings Enos back as OC.
February 1st, 2018 at 1:32 PM ^

Congrats Roy!
and yes.... I know he's originally from ohio and only a 3* or 4* recruit.
February 1st, 2018 at 1:47 PM ^
Treezy!
February 1st, 2018 at 1:49 PM ^
So pumped!! Maybe he can bring back the Donald Duck impression and joins the Maize Rage again. And his "I'm Hoongry" answer in the press conference after he set the record was tremendous.
There are few Wolverines I've enjoyed rooting for more than Treezy.
February 1st, 2018 at 1:49 PM ^
Congrats to Roy ! Bet he does a great job.
February 1st, 2018 at 2:03 PM ^
Coach 'em up Roy, they (*the WR's) need you.
February 1st, 2018 at 2:07 PM ^
Love it! Go Blue!!
February 1st, 2018 at 2:07 PM ^
A Michigan grad, played in the NFL, and 3 years as a WR coach...and some people are upset???? Let's judge him after next season, but I am excited. At the very least its a MAJOR upgrade over last season.
Welcome home!

I'll always remember Roundtree's block on Isaiah Lewis in this clip:

I can't believe with all the help provided from the internet that Harbaugh hasn't figured out he needs coaches for all the position groups. When can we fire this guy?
February 1st, 2018 at 2:14 PM ^
February 1st, 2018 at 2:15 PM ^
I think he can add a lot and help these young WR's!

Hoke knew more than any of us and got paid millions, so we should still be riding that train?
(Not that I think Harbaugh is Hoke or should be fired, I still think Harbaugh will get this program where it should be)
