It's a new direction, and it's great. | ||

I like it. However I can't believe Michigan will probably pay the 4 million to buy Rodriguez out. Seems like you gotta play hardball these days. As I've said before, the spread/mobile/versatile QB is the future of college ball. | ||

'Girly' football is headed up North to... Michigan!__ The 'Spread Offense', 'Run & Shoot', 'Cluck & Duck', or what eva' you want to call it...here we go! This guy was 3-8 [in his first year at WV], in a weaker conference...so by the time he recruits the type of players to fit into the so-called 'spread-offense'...we are talking about 4 to 5 years of sub-par football at the Big House. Did they even think about going out West(Pac-Ten) to get a coach, particularly after, Les Miles turned them down 3 times__go figure! Bo' will be turning in his grave...this time next season. blksoul_atcha! | ||

I think this coach is going to hit the ground running. We already have lots of signed commitments and they won't bolt. This is a coach that many good players want to play for. Besides, I think several players from his team will come to Michigan. It won't be 4 to 5 years, IMO. | ||

The signing period has not taken place. All commitments are only verbal and are not binding. Our top QB recruit switch to Iowa on Friday. The kid was a pro style passer, he knew he wouldnt fit in. If the WVU kids decide to transfer they will not be eligible until fall 2009. | ||

Bo used the option offense, let his quarterback run, and certainly had a passing game too. To say that his era was all about running up the middle is a little off. | ||

Thanks Kenp. Wasn't aware of these rules. I guess we'll know more in the fall. | ||

It does look like the majority of the recruits are still going to UM. I do think this hire gives us momentum for in recruiting. | ||

That would be nice onion. I would like to see how Mallet(if he stays) can do with the spread. After all they ran a similar style at his high school. | ||

Pryor coming to UM would be great, but at this point I think we are 3rd on his list. The new coach has to work him hard to come. | ||

Mallett was quite close to his qb coach, Scot Loeffler. If Loeffler gets the qb job job at Tennessee, look for Mallet to follow him. Could be a win-win situation for both. | ||

I read this last week, its a quote from Jonas Gray the Detroit High School running back who is going to Notre Dame. In his diary entry dated Dec. 30, Gray writes, "If I had to guess where Terrelle goes, I would say he ends up at Ohio State. I could still see him at Michigan, but he's going to watch the Ryan Mallett situation closely. I know Mallett is going to decide after the (Capital One) bowl game and if he decides to transfer, Terrelle Pryor is going to Michigan. I have a real good feel for that." Lets hope he is right | ||

New defensive coordinator Scott Shafer will run "a multiple-front defense based out of a 4-3" instead of Rodriguez's 3-3-5. http://www.mlive.com/sports/an narbornews/index.ssf?/base/spo rts-2/120012001486600.xml&coll =2 |
