Indiana DC Bryant Haines.  Only 40.  From just outside Columbus, so he has ties to the region.  Played at Ball State for Brady Hoke.  Was a GA for Urban Meyer in 2013.  Started coaching with Cignetti as S&C/DL at IUP in 2014 and has been woth him since.  Was promoted to DC at JMU in 2019, amd kept that at IU.  Hoosiers had the #2 scoring defense in the nation this year
Entire post was great, but this is actually a phenomenal insight I’ve heard no one suggest or talk about. 

Also completely agree on Fisch and Minter. If it’s not Minter, move on from the Harbaugh era. You have to at this point if it’s not Minter.

What's wrong with Jedd Fisch? He's had success at two different places and if he stays at Washington they should have a pretty good team coming back next year. Feels like fans view him as the safe option but that's a pretty good safe option if he's willing to come.

Fisch would not be a bad choice. he just isn't as good as Minter, DaBoer, or Dillingham imo. 

And Fisch going to Michigan would hardly be coming home. Buddy is from New Jersey and is alma mater is Florida and he worked under Spurrier as an assistant there. His only connection to Michigan is he coached there for 1 year under Jeem. That's it.

Thats where I am.  Honestly 90% of these hires are crap shoots.  That said, as far as candidates go, would his name be on any list if he hadnt spent 2 years, nearly a decade ago, as an assistant?  Thats barely a connection.  I think they meed a clean break from the Harbaugh stench at this point, from a PR standpoint.  You can get Minter, thats worth it.  For Jedd Fisch?  Nah

That whole thing is still mysterious. The only thing concrete is he apparently had bourbon in his office, which....

So if it isn't Fisch and DeBoer and Dillingham stay put, who is it?

Frank Wilson--LSU's interim HC, ace recruiter with the best relationships with HS coaches and thus the best ties to Louisiana talent, long-time ardent LSU supporter and staffer, and all around good guy--is going to Ole Miss.  Presumably, Kiffin did not try to retain him, which I think is a mistake, but Kiffin gonna Kiffin.  

By my count this makes 17 total people that LSU and Ole Miss are poised to swap, including most all of Lane's offensive staff at Ole Miss coming to BR, LSU's GM Austin Thomas and now current HC Wilson headed to Ole Miss, plus two LSU recruits flipped to Ole Miss and 3 Ole Miss recruits flipped to LSU.  

There was a time I'd be upset about losing Frank, and the general silliness of all this.  But now, this is me, here for all of it:

No joke. Best way to avoid it being a problem. Be the owner of the office.

There's a rumor that Fisch failed his background check. 

Hard to believe that the Wolverines would actually conduct one though, given their history.
