Can't do any worse than Rich Rod and this hire reminds me a lot of Tennessee hiring Dooley, a top program having trouble getting the guy they want. Neither was a sexy pick but very well could be the right pick.
Former Michigan assistant, Ball State coach, Toledo of Ohio coach...raised in the mid-west...I don't think recruiting will be a problem if he can get a solid defensive effort and win a few games next year.
No it isn't. They, just like ND have been failing miserably at recruiting defensive talent. Get some solid depth along the front seven and voila, they'll be competing. It doesn't even need to be elite quality.
Well some should come along soon and point out his overall losing record as a coach and then bring up Dooley in the same sentence. I think they'll be glad they got him instead of Miles.
I actualy think it's a great hire. He use to coach here in Indiana at Ball State and is good at rallying the community and players and getting them to buy into his system. If he gets the recruits they will be back to Michigan football in 3 years.
Michigan is still looking for the answers it seems. Rich Rod was a dice roll that crapped out. They haven't recovered from the Lloyd Carr era. I think Hoke goes 3 and out. Posted via VolNation Mobile
