2024 Michigan Offseason Thread

[Mdot21]

what aboot Da Bears?

they are shockingly keeping their head coach...

[Mdot21]

Jeem now reportedly having a second interview with the Falcons. Idk why you take that job, you're not getting one of the top 3 QBs this draft at pick 8 unless you trade an arm and a leg to move up, oh yeah and the roster sucks. Chargers seem like a way better gig to me. You've got Herbert.

Anyways, Jeem can seriously go fk himself. Just fking resign, let the school promote Sherrone Moore and take a god damn NFL job and be done with it already so we can move on here. This constant state of limbo is KILLING them in recruiting '25 and '26 and potential portal additions for this season.

He needs to fking go. Same song, same NFL dance every god damn motherfking off-season. It's never ending. Basically been every damn year he's been there except for 2 or 3.

agreed

I agree,can't wait for April and Jim to pass up JJ in the 2nd of the draft

You can’t be serious? He turned around the entire program and brought a national championship. You should want a guy that doesn’t give a damn about the board of regents and the coach is more in control of the program than them because he’s relevant.

do you seriously need to go back to the days of Rich Rod and Hoke where the people behind the scenes were calling the shots? I don’t.

Jeem calls all his own shots. Has since day one. It's a complete and utter fantasy to suggest otherwise. He runs that program from A to Z. Sure he's probably not thrilled with being suspended twice in one season, but to me the school did just about everything it could to stand behind him. The first suspension they tried to placate the NCAA. The second suspension, well the B1G ordered him suspended, and it would've just been stupid for the school to continue on with the legal fight in the courts. Just take the L and move on.

So he's a little butthurt about getting his pay cut in half. BFD. Deal with it Jeem. Guess what, you DESERVED to take a pay cut. You were being paid like the top coach in CFB, but you most definitely WERE NOT performing like that- and you kept getting your dick kicked in by Ohio State. He's flipped the script, and now that Saban is retired, Jeem has EARNED the right to be paid top dollar in CFB. I'm all for paying coaches that perform, and taking pay away from them when they don't perform.

Jeem wants to be in the NFL. That much is clear. What is ALSO clear however is that the NFL doesn't want his weirdo ass nearly as much as he wants them- and looks like there hasn't been a team in the NFL willing- yet- to give Jeem the kind of control he wants. And don't be fooled- Jeem is a CONTROL freak who wants final say on everything. Why do you think he was fired in the NFL by the 49ers despite being an AMAZING coach for them? Yeah, because he's a weird strange difficult to deal with asshole who was clashing with his GM and Owner over control. Jeem is going to have to find the right ownership that will basically let him be the defacto GM and hire a sock puppet to be the new GM and give him complete control and also pay him probably $12-15 million a year. Very few NFL teams sign up for that. Most of these owners can't put their egos aside and get out of their own way- see Jones, Jerry.

Mdot is right,pschotic but right (Animal House plug). Too much distraction year in/out if a recruit doesn't think he'll be around why bother? So far the portal and his bros advice and coordinators have been gold.Can he maintain that,IMO he has cards he's not showing but seems to want to waffle off to the League. The level of bizarre surrounding the program can backfire and this recent foray into SUNDAY interest again is just leaving coaches,players even some admns hanging.Sh!t or get off the pot as Mdot said before damn right.Hell just retire he has enough to keep himself in Khakis for many lifetimes

dude is basically a spouse with one foot out the door threatening to leave and file for a divorce every god damn fking year. at some point when is the school going to have some dignity and call his bluff and just say, OK, thanks for everything, it was great while it lasted, BYE FELICIA.

his heart isn't at Michigan. he wants the NFL, he wants to win a Super Bowl. And he's just using Michigan as a temporary gig until he can find a better option in the NFL. which is fine, but let's call a spade a spade. it's not like oh he's a the new it coach and now the NFL is calling and looking at him. he's a known commodity and HE is the one hiring an NFL agent (Don Yee) and flirting with NFL teams. every. single. fking. offseason. shit ain't cool. and it's SO fking tiring.

Michigan is dead in the portal and dead in 2025 recruiting until this is done.

The AD needs to move on, IMO, but it sounds like he has no sack.

yup. they just lost the commitment of 4* CB and top 100 player in nation for 2025 from Florida. can't get jack in the portal. they need Jeem to either sign massive deal right now and reaffirm his commitment to Michigan or they need to move on and promote Moore to HC and throw bags at the staff to keep as much of it intact as possible. 

[FearlessF]

how many of the current staff might follow Jeem to the NFL?

Jay?

[Mdot21]

Jay?

Jay definitely will follow him. DC Jesse Minter is probably a good bet as well- Minter is from the NFL and has NFL aspirations. QB coach Kirk Campbell is tight with Jeem and could follow him. The S&C guy Ben Herbert could as well- but that's a toss up- he's more college guy than pro and he's being paid handsomely by Michigan. Pretty much everyone else on staff however is likely to stay at Michigan so long as Moore gets the HC job and they all get a pay raise imo.

Portal worx if they can get NIL scratch which isn't a problem in AA I would think
