He could be WR coach or special teams. I don't think harbaugh would bring him in to call plays when he wasn't too impressive at Arkansas. I'd imagine he'd keep his guys who he trust over a new guy who barely had a better offense Also whoever he brings in, we need closers. Harbaugh put michigans name on recruits minds and lands visits but we can never seal the deal on these top recruits after official visits.

He's a strong recruiter so it will be nice to have one of those on that side of the ball. I don't understand the hate from people. When it comes down to it, the offense is always going to be Harbaugh's offense.

We obviously have to do something, but holy hell, when was the last time the offensive players experienced some coaching stability here? How many times have they been asked to learn a new style, new playbook, adjust to a new OC? It's hard to make much progress when you're constantly changing direction.

I'm not so sure about that. An msu guy doesn't have the burning desire to beat msu. So idk how much he can help at motivating our guys to "kick states' ass". It's not like he has a switch that tells him to hate msu now since he's coaching for Michigan.

Better OL and QB play would have won against MSU, OSU, and South Carolina (I think Wisconsin would have edged out even if Peters didn't get injured).

It doesn't matter how creative or complicated the playcalling and offense is if the OL breaks down and our QBs are getting injured, sacked, or under pressure all game, and likewise if the QB is missing open receivers or throwing interceptions. No matter who does what next year, this will hopefully and should be better next year considering the youth of the team.

I though he was only going to be our WR coach. I was hoping for a more dynamic OC but who knows may be he will be a big improvement over Hamilton?

As long as they can put together a good OL next year, I'm okay with whatever type of offense they want to call. Pistol, air raid, triple option, don't care. 

If you have a good OL, everything else falls into place. Running backs have lanes to run through. QBs have time to survey the field. WRs have time to get open.
