Nate Woody expected to join Michigan's staff as analyst

Don’t tell them the truth.  They are insiders and they’re actually Harbaugh himself.  Some people know more than everyone inside of Schembechler Hall.  

We all know that he is not a good OC but it appears he is relieved of that duty.  So maybe Pep is a decent QB coach when focused on that job.  JH probably weighed the pros/cons of firing+buyout and figured keeping him is the better approach.

You might be different, than a lot of people, if you enforce accountability at your organization, MGrowOld.  Which is to your credit.

People on the outside looking in, don't necessarily know what someone is good at or not, and people on the inside might take a while to reach that knowledge.  Sometimes it takes trial, error and tinkering.  The best leaders will capitalize on the strengths of each person.

As far as Michigan's staff and Hamilton, there are too many unknowns.  There is a lot of human factor and specialized knowledge that doesn't translate to a language that everyone is fluent in, although there's no shortage of people who think they know better.

Unfortunately, people in all kinds of orgs from profit to nonprofit, once they reach a certain level, might know far less than people in many job levels below theirs, and suffer no consequence.  That's the Peter Principle, a longstanding and affable term for someone who either enables dysfunction through incompetence or provides a safety net for people not performing even as they feather their own nest.... usually both.

College football, at least to my eyes, doesn't seem conducive to harboring examples of Peter Principle.  It's just too competitive of a world.  There are only two outcomes, W and L and often the difference, especially nowadays, comes down to a razor thin factor.
