2025 Michigan Offseason Thread
« on: December 03, 2024, 06:20:34 PM »
Sherrone Moore fires OC Kirk Campbell. Campbell has been a shit sandwich the last 3 years as QB coach/Pass Game Co-Ordinator and full-time OC this year. Good riddance, don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out. Get. The. Fuck. Out.

He was always a terrible unqualified hire, his only previous stint as an OC was at Old Dominion where his offenses were putrid and he got fired. Only reason he ever wound up where he did is because Matt Weiss got in trouble and then Jeem in a pinch just promoted Kirk and then they won a Natty despite Kirk- and then Jeem left for the NFL way too late in the game for Sherrone to really find a real replacement and Jeem took most of the coaching staff with him to the NFL....except he said hey Sherrone why don't you keep this Kirk fella at OC....he's great!

Moore showing he's got the stones to do what is right- he owes Kirk Campbell nothing- he owes all of those coaches on his staff nothing- they either perform and get the job done or they are gone and someone else who can get the job done will take their place. Point blank. Period.

Have to think Michigan would be an attractive job for any OC. They are bringing in the #1 QB and player overall in the 2025 class and have their NIL money cannon all lined up to fire mountains of cash at a QB in the portal as well.

I wonder if there has ever been a beloved assistant who rode the coattails of his predecessor, and then cemented it by beating his primary rival en route to a crappy bowl in his first year on the job...

Moore very well could wind up not working out for Michigan like Bobby Williams didn't work out for MSU. Only time will tell, one can't predict the future.

Moore was basically stuck with a pile of shit at QB and OC. The Natty run which went into the middle of January plus Jeem's timing in taking his NFL job and then by the time the school finally officially gave Moore the job it made it basically impossible for Moore to get a portal QB and have a real search for an OC.

Michigan was at 5-5 and teetering and it really could've went south and snowballed, but Moore just kept chugging along, they blew out Northwestern then went on the road and beat the #2 team in the country as 3 TD dogs, and he went and secured the #1 QB and player in the nation for the 2025 class, they are going to get another QB and be very active in the portal, and if he nails this OC hire they are right back in business.

The game is won in the trenches, and Michigan's OL class in 2024 was top notch and their 2025 class is going to be as well- especially if they flip 5* OT Ty Haywood. 2024 will probably be the weakest OL they'll have under Moore, they should have great OL's going forward with Moore at the helm and at this point I just kind of assume they'll always have great DL's as well- ever since Jeem got there in 2015 they've been sending out truckloads of 1st-3rd NFL draft picks at EDGE, DE, DT.

I'd take either of those in a second. Massive upgrades over friggin Kirk Campbell.

Lol that's actually really funny. Having said that, $15 million to a guy worth over $245 billion is relative peanuts.

Also...the # is not $15 million. WSJ did an article on it, Underwood's Dad says the number is nowhere near reported and basically on par with what LSU was offering. And the money isn't all coming from the Ellison's, there are other donors/sources invovled. Oh and previously when Jeem was 'crootin' Underwood Michigan wasn't offering shit in terms of NIL- and oh yeah not to mention Jeem and Underwood's HS coach were in a literal blood feud with one another.

And the hilarious thing in this bullshit "OMG 10.5...not 12...no 15 MILLION" narrative everyone seems to be forgetting....LSU was throwing truckloads of NIL money at Underwood- which is in large part why they got him to commit in the first place. Unfortunately for LSU's broke ass....Michigan just has a lot bigger pockets behind them.

I personally LOVE the NIL. These fuckfaces in the SEC were paying for players under the table for decades and Michigan wouldn't get their hands dirty in that mud. Well, now it's all legal and above board and those southern hick swamp fucks got zero shot in a bidding war if Michigan aims the money cannon at a kid they truly want.

Ive said all along, Im fine with paying for recruits.  however, people want to spend their money, good for the players.  I just hate it to build teams out of the portal, particularly for basketball where you can just bring a whole new roster year to year.  At that point, what are you even rooting for as a fan?

I quit watching college basketball a long time ago because all the top HS player were either going right to the NBA or were one and done. It got to the point of why watch when all the best talent isn't even there or if it is there it's there for a cup of coffee. 

As for the portal, I agree 100%. THAT is the problem right now with the sport. With rev share coming hopefully they can sign contracts with schools which binds them to the program and if they want to leave they have to sit out a year. You can't just have players leaving willy nilly like they are now. Some of these bozos are portaling every god damn off-season and that one kid from Iowa signed with Bama then portaled to Iowa then portaled back to Bama. It's like....what the fuck are you doing kid? What the fuck is going on here? Where are the adults in the room?

speaking of the portal.....the QB that I think Michigan should go after is former USC QB Miller Moss. Moss is a pure pocket passer who wasn't really a great fit for Lincoln Riley's system which kind of requires it's QB to be mobile. USC also had a pretty awful OL.

Michigan's OL should be much improved in '25 and Moss would be a great fit as a game manager, hand the ball off, hit the short passes, and then play-action off the run for the downfield shots. He'd be a Cade McNamara 2.0 and they could sprinkle in Underwood as a true frosh and ease him into it like they did JJ in '21. Feel like he's a perfect 1 year stop the QB bleeding gap bridge to Underwood.

That was the speculation like a month ago, even before the Underwood news
