I suppose it could be for some, otherwise it wouldn't be so popular today

wasn't a deal in the 80's.  at least for the Engineering college or college of education

daughter is in the college of education working on her teaching certificate for elementary school

It was pretty much unheard of when I was in school.

I suppose I could have learned a little bit from over there. I'm pretty sure the Italians are big on concrete.

Jim McElwain is reported as having been hired by Michigan as OC and WR coach.  Let the shark jokes and photos commence.

I'm not sure how I think about this hire.

The guy lost his job at Florida because Florida's offense was no good. How will that translate?

I just don't think his personality translated to head coach.  I think he's a pretty ok OC.

He was WR coach/ST coach/assisstant HC at MSU under JLS, and he was fine.

He's only been an FBS OC for 5 seasons.  1 at Fresno, where they were #38 in offense, but it's hard to judge anything off a one year snapshot.  Then he was at Bama for 4 years.  Again, fine, but how much under Saban is Bama fine with whoever his coordinators are?

I think it also all comes down to how much control Harbaugh is willing to give him.  If it's still Harbaugh running the offense, it doesn't matter who the OC is.

Drevno was the OL coach at Stanford with Harbaugh, wasn't he?

They seemed to do pretty well back then.

Rumors are flying that Coach Drevno will resign soon and will follow his son to Vandy who is an incoming freshman there.

Confirmation now; Drevno out. Now things are starting to play out a little more favorably. Love the Warriner hire and now he can slide in to O-Line Coach. Still need to understand who is going to be calling the plays with this staff though.

I would guess Pep Hamilton with Harbaugh in his ear.

great move for Michigan.

Drevno was in over his skis. McElwain was a mediocre OC. Drevno was horrendous.

Ed Warriner is a hell of an OL coach. McElwain will do a better job than Drevno. That's an upgrade at two spots if you ask me.

Still should have gotten rid of Pep Hamilton. Really won't matter who the OC is though if Harbaugh won't yield some control. It's still his offense at the end of the day.

Is Pep really a qualified play-caller with Harbaugh lurking? Agree with others that they haven’t moved the needle much with that. These are some nice improvements but there are a couple things that still strike me as concerning.  

1. Lack of a well regarded play caller with autonomy. I would have loved to see Fisch come back in a true OC role.

2. Jay Harbaugh coaching any position. I’m fine with him recruiting or being a desk jockey.

The worst case for UM would be if Jay lands in a play calling role, or even in a game planning role. It could still happen.

Ed Warriner is a hell of an OL coach. 

Pains me to admit it but hell yes.Wish he would have stayed in C-Bus in that capacity.There was no going back after being bumped up to O.C. however.He has taken TE's,DL's or anything off the scrap heap and turned them into good/great O-Linemen.Hopefully he forgets how he did it
