I just don't understand how from an objective historical perspective of Whittingham's offense, he can come out thinking this is going to be a good situation for him.

I would be surprised if Whittingham totally uprooted his offensive philosophy for Underwood. Literally he used Cam Rising as a QB for 5 or 6 years. What exactly about that say's he is a QB guy?

Underwood was not all that good, and the hype didn't match what he looks like he may be. He seems to be very much Jalen Milroe. Strong arm, but inconsistent. Not much else is mind blowing special about him.

By all means I hope he sticks with Scum, because I don't see how it ends well.

Many teams would take a flyer on him, but who is going to pony up a guaranteed starting spot and $2-3M?

I don’t want this come across the wrong way at all, but I’m really curious to see how an openly devout Mormon, recruits nationally to a national powerhouse program. It’s one thing when you’re the Head Coach of Utah or BYU, and you have a pipeline of Mormon kids in that geographical area to pull from.

Whatever your opinion on religion, many coaches/programs build their culture and identity around Christianity….the Buckeyes being one of them….it really connects with a lot of recruits parents as well.

I’m not a very religious person so again, I’m not knocking the Mormon faith or Whittingham…..I just wonder when he’s sitting at a kitchen table trying to pull a kid to Michigan, and you’ve got Ryan Day, Dan Lanning, Kirby Smart all pitching “their culture” and it resonates a lot more because the Mormon faith is a bit foreign to a large portion of the United States. Just something to think about…

Ultimately, I really think he’s just being paid to get them through the next 3-4 years with as little off the field damage as possible so I don’t think Michigan really cares that much about national recruiting at moment anyways…

Miami Dline is good but it's not all world. Think their stats might be a bit inflated from feasting on a awful ACC slate tol. I agree it's ok the be concerned especially after the Indiana game but they are definitely stoppable.

Whittingham is basically a great value version of Harbaugh but without the NFL pedigree. The scUM people acting like this is some landscape changing hire are comically delusional.

Guy has averaged 4 losses a season at Utah. I know I know "but the resources!!!". If any 8-4ish type coach of a smaller program was a garutneed success if you gave them the keys to a bigger program they'd all be highly coveted every year, which isn't the case.

He's a good coach but he's not moving the needle at a bigger program in a higher level conference.

Michigan is basically going to be Utah Midwest from the looks of how he's gonna form his staff. Which means 7-9 wins usually with maybe a 10 win season here and there if things fall right.

By hiring him now, their transfer portal should end the same time as everybody else’s.

That could have been a factor, plus during their bowl game in a few days they wouldn’t want the coverage to be focused on the past.

I‘m still amazed they let Warde Manuel be involved in the hiring, with all the negative crap that has happened on his watch.

Jesus Christ,


Thanks for positing this was great.

Their DL is holistically better than ours I think. I love our crew but they absolutely don’t generate pressure like that. They held their own against UT and IU, but that front is on another planet.

I really hope Day is working with Sayin on a lot of intermediate stuff because that ball needs to get the fuck out of there. That’s one of the best overall units in the country regardless of position and can take over games.

Hopefully Jackson can get some tough yards.
