2024 Michigan Offseason Thread

[Mdot21]

Steve Casula hired to be TE's coach. 36 years old, was an analyst from 2019-2021 at Michigan, so familiar with Moore and the program. He's been a TE coach at a bunch of stops previously and an OC twice at Davenport and UMass. Seems like a solid enough hire. Offensive staff should be set. 

Defensive staff on the other hand has been completely ravaged by the asshole CTE autistic weirdo known as Jeem. Elston & Clinkscale were about as good as it gets for a DL and DB coach.

F*ck Michigan.

Well, it's done and now I can officially go back to hating Michigan again.

Michigan reportedly finds new defensive line coach within the Big Ten - Footballscoop

coaching staffs get raided....it's what happens. Ohio State took Al Washington and Greg Mattison from Michigan. Jeem just took Michigan's entire defensive staff with him to the Chargers. Sh*t happens. 

In other news, 2024 enrollee 4* LB Jaden Smith asks to be released from his NLI, as not a single coach who recruited him is at Michigan anymore as Chris Partrdige, Jim Harbaugh, Jesse Minter, Jay Harbaugh, and Mike Elston are all gone.

[Mdot21]

in honor of Jeem's 9 years at Michigan, the All-Harbaugh team....

2015-2023: 

QB: JJ McCarthy - not close, the QB's largely meh outside of him. Backup probably Jake Rudock or Shea Patterson. 
RB: Blake Corum (Donovan Edwards) 
WR: Nico Collins (Amara Darboh)
WR: Roman Wilson (Donovan Peoples-Jones) 
WR: Jehu Chesson (Cornelius Johnson)
TE: Jake Butt (Colston Loveland) 
T: Mason Cole (Jon Runyan Jr) 
G: Ben Bredeson (Trevor Keegan) 
C: Cesar Ruiz (Olu Oluwatimi) 
G: Zak Zinter (Mike Onwenu) 
T: Jalen Mayfield (Andrew Steuber)  

EDGE: Aidan Hutchinson (Kwity Paye) 
EDGE: Rashan Gary (Taco Charlton) 
DT: Mason Graham (Kris Jenkins) 
NT: Mazi Smith (Kenneth Grant) 
LB: Devin Bush (Khaleke Hudson) 
LB: Junior Colson (Josh Uche)  
CB: Will Johnson (David Long) 
CB: Jourdan Lewis (Ambry Thomas) 
Nickel: Mikey Sainistril (LaVert Hill) 
S: Dax Hill (Makari Paige)
S: Rod Moore (Jabrill Peppers)  

At QB it's basically JJ and a bunch of mid QB's- that's it. Interior OL's were fantastic, tackles were OK, but nothing to write home about. Would've expected better. Been a very long time since they've had anyone close to Jake Long or Taylor Lewan walk through those doors at tackle. TE's, great. RB's, great. WR's good enough to win with but obviously nothing special or remotely like OSU/BAMA/LSU/Washington have had in that time span. 

EDGE/DT's were terrific. LB really solid. CB/Nickel/S - really good. Jeem really didn't recruit/develop QB, Tackle, or WR at a high level. WR makes sense- would've expected more out of QB and Tackle. All the other positions- and especially on defense-Jeem did pretty damn good at.

RS Soph Safety Keon Sabb to the portal. That's a HUGE blow. Starters Rod Moore and Makari Paige return, but Sabb got a ton of playing time as a RS Frosh because he was too good to keep off the field, and he was basically going to be a co-starter or possibly even a starter at nickel this year for Michigan. 

He's a day one plug and play high level starter for any contender needing a safety. More physically talented than Rod Moore and Makari Paige, was just not as seasoned or experienced.

F*CK.

Sherrone Moore fills out his defensive coaching staff. 

Wink Martindale from the NFL is the new DC, Greg Scruggs from Wisconsin is the new DL coach, Brian Jean-Mary from Tennessee is the LB's coach, and LaMar Morgan the DC from Louisiana is going to be the DBs coach. 

[847badgerfan]

I've seen nothing official on Scruggs, anywhere.

They also reported they had hired the Houston safeties coach as their DB coach, and it turned out he said no.  Clinkscale was returning, except he wouldn't.

I wouldn't believe anything the Michigan Rivals/247/On3 slappy media reports at this point.

yeah they have a lot of egg on the face right now. Clinkscale did tell the entire team he was returning. And then two days later he took a job offer from Jeem. So, yeah.

I don't trust the MSU slappy media for anything other than visitor lists

It takes much resolve and determination to unearth those gems
