So the word out on why so many RBs have transferred out, is a combination of incoming freshman, Derreck Cooper getting a massive NIL deal and it caused Texas collective to try and "restructure" the deals of some of the current RBs. And at least Wisner, asked for a raise to $1mil for next year, to be paid like a true RB1, but his production didn't signify a significant pay bump
I think Wittingham would be signaling a 4-5 year window where an outside caretaker of good reputation just oversees a clean up.
On field results won’t be the focus. The institution needs to get things back to where there are no more inconvenient incidents countering their virtue narrative.

Hate to say it, but Wittingham is the perfect hire for UM.
He has been very successful with limited resources and is squeaky clean. Allows UM to make the argument that they have instantly cleaned up the program. Wouldn't be surprised if he does well in the portal provided the NIL money continues to flow.
Any kind of big, public, new sheriff in town/clean up stuff can be spun into a deemphasizing football counter claim if you want to.
I think the adults in charge at the BOT level are actually going to lean into that more than football fans think they will. Watch for a board committee to oversee the athletic department once they shitcan Warde. If that happens all the NIL money cannon stuff will be operating in a harsher environment. Likely a classic case of over reacting/swinging the pendulum back too far the other way for a while and it doesn't take much of that for the rest of CFB to let the talent know, you aren't serious about football anymore.
I'm not worried about the headlines of the coach. I am watching for what they say and do at Warde's level and above. That will tell you what's really going on.

I know and now, if they are presenting this candidate to the actual BOT, (unlike last time) then the that means (at least to me) the adults are in control and those adults are going to have different goals than the dfbia.
Wittingham is not a pure on the field football hire. He doesn't suck but he's there to "stabilize" the program, not wade back into the deep end.
Also three to stop the off-field constant flood of scandal. While the dfbia thinks it was all one big witch hunt to get Simple Jim, I think the adults know better and aren't happy with reputation hit the institution has taken. With Ono gone, I think they are letting their voices be heard.
I have seen zero evidence that the BOT actually desires to clean up the program. They are as myopic as the fan base, and as incapable of feeling actual embarrassment over what the program is. Anything they do will just pay lip service to the media and tiny minority of fans who want to clean up the program. I hope Wittingham realizes that if he takes that job, the cheater stench will ruin his legacy.
Their logic is the of course flawed logic of "this coach has done well at a lesser program without great resources so that automatically would make them an elite coach at Michigan!"
Oh they want on field results for sure. Judging from the last 5 years, cleaning up doesn't seem a priority. Heck, if they were not forced to fire Moore, it would have been business as usual. They expect to win.

Turnovers, empty red zone possessions, short fields from ST mistakes, a couple of bad calls on one critical series. Those are the common ingredients to any upset. Odds are sub 50% but not zero.
OSU can win by playing its game and leaning on Miami. Miami needs events to happen. They can’t just lean on OSU.
Whittingham doesn't concern me. He's 66 years old, has been at Utah for 32 years, has never sniffed the bcs/cfp and will be a continuance of Simple Jim's neanderball.

You don’t get to act like you are collecting scalps for your glove without acknowledging Louisville and SMU snatched your little glove and fisted you with it.
Come on. I’m embarrassed for you (whoever made it) that’s so gay.
