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.
Look at what happened to the Wisconsin OL since he followed Bert to Arky, and look at what's happened to the Michigan OL since Herbert got there.

That's all you need to know about how great he is.

he's one of the best for sure, and Michigan would try to keep him. but if he wants to follow Jeem to the pros, not much you can do. he seems more college than NFL to me though, but wtf do I know?

way too early two deep for Michigan in 2024...obviously things will change due to portal...but as of right now...this is best guess work. 

QB - Alex Orji v. Jadyn Davis  v. Jayden Denegal (loser will backup, unless of course they get someone from the portal)
RB - Donovan Edwards (Kalel Mullings & Benjamin Hall) 
WR - Tyler Morris (I'Marion Stewart or Channing Goodwin)


WR - Fredrick Moore (Peyton O'Leary)
WR - Semaj Morgan (Karmello English)
TE - Colston Loveland (Zack Marshall or  Deakon Tonielli or Brady Prieskorn or Hogan Hansen)
LT - Myles Hinton (Jeff Persi or Andrew Sprague)




LG - Giovanni El-Hadid (Nathan Efobi) 
C- Greg Crippen v. Raheem Anderson (loser will backup or possibly transfer) 
RG - Josh Priebe (Amir Herring) 





RT - Andrew Gentry (Jeff Persi or Tristan Bounds)

EDGE - Derrick Moore (Enow Etta or Cameron Brandt)
EDGE - Josaiah Stewart (TJ Guy or Kechaun Bennett) 
DT - Mason Graham (Rayshaun Benny) 
NT - Kenneth Grant (Trey Pierce or Deyvid Palepale or Ike Iwunnah) 
ILB - Ernest Hausmann (Jimmy Rolder) 
ILB - Jaishawn Barham (Jaydon Hood or Semaj Bridgeman) 







CB - Will Johnson (Jo'Ziah Edmond) 
*CB - DJ Waller Jr v. Jyaire Hill (loser is the backup)*
*NB - Zeke Berry v. Ja'Den McBurrows (loser is the backup)*
FS - Rod Moore (Quentin Johnson) 
SS - Makari Paige (Keon Sabb) 

Should be really good at RB & TE. Have to rebuild the OL. WR's are meh. QB is way up in the air. Need to hit the portal for a QB with some experience and some WR's. OL should be fine, but if they can get solid transfers to push for starting spots and provide more depth- all the better.

Defense should be really good again. Hasumann was basically a co-starter at ILB, he's back. The transfer Barham from Maryland is a plug and play ILB starter. Kris Jenkins is gone at DT but they're returning 3 of their top 4 there in Mason Graham, Kenneth Grant, and Rayshaun Benny at DT. Braiden McGregor and Jaylen Harrell are gone at EDGE, but they are returning EDGE co-starters Derrick Moore and Joasiah Stewart. One of Zeke Berry or Ja'Den McBurrows should make a solid nickel after an all-out battle in camp to replace Mikey Sainistril. Have to find a CB2. Amorion Walker could've been that guy with a big off-season, but he just transferred to Ole Miss. DJ Waller Jr and Jyaire Hill both got a lot of run as true frosh this year, it's likely one of them will replace Josh Wallace at CB2. Unless of course they get a transfer or the true frosh CB Jo’Ziah Edmond breaks out. 

Thoughts: Should still be a really good team even if they lose Jeem to NFL, provided they promote Sherrone Moore to HC and try to keep the staff in place and players from fleeing to the portal. JJ leaving really sucks. Feel like they'd have had a legit shot to run it back with a slightly more polished JJ as a true SR.

I believe Jeem already had a 2nd interview with the Falcons. Seems a little bit odd that he's interviewing twice with both teams now and zero offers or deals have been announced. Usually these head coaching hires move fast....see Raiders with Antonio Pierce and Patriots with Jerod Mayo.

He blew it in the 2nd interview with the Vikings last time.  It's when the CTE really comes out.

This honestly continues to feel vindictive.  Michigan can't add talent without a coach, they might lose some, and then if he eventually decides to jump, there is going to be a period of time where the only guys in the portal are Michigan players.

He's double birding the athletic department, and seemingly setting up whoever follows him for failure, to make it look like it was all him all along

yup. he needs to either sign his extension with Michigan or just resign and let them promote Sherrone Moore like immediately.

Their recruiting in '25 should be WHITE hot coming off a Natty, yet it's stagnant and they've been gaining no traction in '25- instead they are losing commits in '25- including a top 100 player in the nation from Florida.

Sherrone Moore needs to be made HC and they just need to cut him loose on the '25 class and portal kids. I have a feeling that Moore would be an amazing recruiter as a HC. Much better than Jeem's weirdo ass ever was.

That's the one thing that makes me wonder whether it will be Moore.  He might be good with double birding the athletic department, and setting up his successor to fail.  But I don't think he would do that to Moore, if Moore is that successor.

People that aren't "mainstream," who put their focus on the areas of importance that Jim does, tend to be better humans. I'll take a weirdo that's a better human any day. Winning a title with one was just a cherry. 

What's weird is how quickly you want to trash Harbaugh after what he just gave you as a fan, yet you'll give a verbal bj to a 17 year old kid who commits to Michigan that the only thing known is a youtube highlight video.
