[WindyCityGopher]

Word from my Michigan buddy is Jeff Brohm flew to Ann Arbor immediately following the Bush’s Beans Bowl in Boca today to interview for the UM job.

Biff Poggi embraces interim role, says return to sideline 'sparked' desire for Michigan’s top coaching job​

" When asked what he believes is the top-selling point he offers over other candidates, Poggi delivered a simple, yet pointed response."Because I know what the hell I'm doing."

How could you not like this guy? I heard the players really like him.

Biff Poggi embraces interim role, says return to sideline 'sparked' desire for Michigan’s top coaching job

Despite limited Power Four coaching experience, Michigan interim coach Biff Poggi says the job has “sparked" his desire to lead the Wolverines full time.

I liked Tim Brewster, but I don’t want him to be the head coach of any of my teams. Likability is about 10th on the list of factors that matter.

I assume if he takes it Brian gets the Louisville job. Kind of a win win for the family...

 

[GopherGuy82]

Brohm is good but definitely not a home run hire. It would be interesting to see the changes to the offense. I like the Gopher's chances next year against Michigan if that is the hire.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

The Fixer was a decent qb from dropping right into this UM job.

He knows what he's doing? He's 66 and had one head coaching job and went 6-16.

Hire Poggi….do it Michigan. Home run!

I could not believe his background.

I bet that will be an "explosive" interview after eating all those beans.

Did you see that cauldron of beans they had post-game? The plane probably had to make an emergency stop somewhere in Tennessee to drop payload.

You’re not convinced being Harbaugh’s bible study buddy and weirdo confidant isn’t a solid resumé?

 

[BTChamp]

I wonder what actually happened at Harblow's recruiting slumber parties.

Hopefully he wasn't too gassy

Looks like Kyle Whittingham. If true, that's a good hire.

Michigan hiring an Urban Meyer acolyte would bring me an unnatural level of amusement.

I can just see the president of the university reading the 70th story about abortions and OnlyFans models and finally snap and say "Go hire a G D Mormon".

On the other hand they had enough fuel to fly to Japan.

Is this the guy Michigan fans want? Pretty underwhelming lately in soft big 12. But, I suppose much better resources with the wolverines.

 

[RememberMurray]

Whittingham, post COVID:

2021: 10-4, Rose Bowl
2022: 10-4, Rose Bowl
2023: 8-5, Las Vegas Bowl
2024: 5-7, No bowl
2025: 10-2, Las Vegas Bowl

Overall, 177-88.
Probably headed to the College Football Hall of Fame, from stuff I've read.

Urban Meyer acolyte?

Witt had been the DC at Utah since back in 1995. Meyer's two year pitstop in SLC was 2003 & 04.

Took over HC from there and never let it go. It's a bizarre hire to me.

To any Michigan fan who discovers that Whittingham has the stench of Urban Meyer on him, even after just 2 years, he’s an acolyte. I’m not sure you understand the deep hatred Michigan fans have for Meyer and everything he’s touched.

I think Michigan fans pretend to hate Meyer because they want to say his success at tOSU is tainted but they would also take him in a heartbeat. If they had any shot at Kiffin, they'd have taken him.

It actually isn't that far-fetched to imagine that scenario.

I wonder what UM does with Poggi, he had some pretty blunt statements about the program

Probably just fire him? Doubt the new guy wants him around.

Wait, with Michigan hiring Whittingham, does that mean they’re no longer interested in PJ?

 

[WashedGoph]

Whittingham stepping down from Utah. Might be a name to watch for Michigan.

They realized early they couldn't pry him away from the U so why waste time trying...
