Free agent season

supposedly 10+ Ole Miss players have lawyered up, trying to get eligible to play right away. That would be all the underclassmen. Because all seniors-to-be can already leave without having to get the waiver, they are eligible automatically, they don't need lawyers.
Ole Miss could be looking at 15 or more kids jumping ship.
Might as well try and take the ones you like/can get.

Frost needs a running QB

I'll shoot him a text

Should be able to afford good lawyers with how much they all got paid to go there.

Lmao. Truth.

per the website Footballscoop, sounds like Harbaugh has met with former MSU/Arkansas coach Dan Enos to talk about a coaching position. I'd be down with that hire. Enos is a heckuva coach and recruiter. If that is the case, might mean that Drevno is on the way out like the "insiders" have hinted at. Crossing my fingers.

Also, rumors are that Michigan safety coach Brian Smith is going to be hired to be the DC at Rice. No word yet on who would replace him, but I am hoping it'll be Devin Bush Sr. who is on the support staff as a defensive analyst. Just seems like a natural fit, and that guy is more than qualified, and will be a huge upgrade in the recruiting department.

excerpt from the Footballscoop article posted today:

"But, hold the phone. Sources tell us Enos recently met with Jim Harbaugh to discuss a position at Michigan and has been asked to interview for another offensive coordinator position."

MSU fans have wanted a change to bring Enos home for a while.  The only thing that could make them madder that MD hasn't would be him going to Ann Arbor.

I'm not sold on him as a playcaller, but he's got everything else.

yeah, I'm with you. Not sure he's the best play-caller, but he's a heckuva coach. Develops players and can recruit his ass off. No word yet on what position he'd be filling, just that he's met with Harbaugh.
I'm of the opinion that Harbaugh needs to make a huge shake up on that offensive staff. Defense is fine and has been fine last two years. As long as Don Brown and Greg Mattison are there together, almost doesn't matter who else is coaching on that defense. Offense is a mess though. I'd love it if they could get rid of Drevno and trade him for Enos. That's a win. Drevno is in over his head as the OC and he's considered one of the weaker recruiters on the staff. And I'd also love it if Jim's son Jay could be either re-assigned from RB's to a different position or go work for his uncle in the NFL so they could bring in Mike Hart to be the RB's coach. I think Mike Hart would absolutely crush it as the RB coach and he would recruit his you know what off.

Yup those are mainstays.Long as M can feed those two something to work with no worries there.Wasn't Drevno the O-line coach?Move him back if so if he'd take it,wish Warriner had stayed with the O-line in C-Bus

I will say, he might be just what Michigan needs as a playcaller, a little more vanilla.  Question is if that gets them a win or two more a year, but can't help them against the best of the best, how much help is it?

I'm really glad that this game is back on the annual. 
September just didn't feel right without it.

me too! Absolutely love that series, and even when both teams were pretty bad they still had some memorable games.
Not glad that it's a night game in South Bend to open the season, especially since the last time the game was played in 2014 it was in South Bend. Michigan should've demanded Notre Dame come to Ann Arbor.
