These appear to be forward-thinking, making meaningful change-based moves. I mainly like they represent not accepting the status quo, and having accountability in the program. Hopeful.
 

Fruechte checks a lot of boxes:
-Alumni
-NFL experience at that position
-Offensive coordinator & Play caller at D2 & D1 (FCS) level
-From the region

Mo is going to be a work in progress. Only 1 year of coaching experience and Kent State ranked 129th out of 134 for team rushing. Not saying that's his fault at all, just that we have very little body of work to evaluate. We all love Mo though. Wish him nothing but the best.

Not to mention he comes from an absolute powerhouse program in SE Minnesota! Have to wonder if Sawyer Seidl follows: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sp...idl-reportedly-plans-to-enter-transfer-portal
 

I can’t keep up with this wild opening portal and coaching Carousel! Welcome back Mo and Isaac! 2026 has opened with a bang!

With the new rules on eligibility, I'm expecting Mo to be a player/coach.

Love the Fruechte hire. He is a future head coach somewhere for sure and who knows, possibly even here.
 

From Sig Harris (who played for Dr. Williams) to Butch Nash (who played for Bernie Bierman) the program had a former player as an assistant coach almost continuously through the 1970s/1980s. Both would give the pre-game “Michigan talk” telling the story of the Little Brown Jug. Sig Harris played in the 1903 game.
 



I briefly played ball with Fruechte years ago. Great guy and sneaky good hire by PJ.
