Warde Manuel is AD of the year, an award called “deserved” by petiti

I think I will amend the proverb “No good deed goes unpunished” to include the phrase, “no malfeasance goes unrewarded” because that certainly seems to describe the world we live in

Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti Stands by His Decision to Suspend Jim Harbaugh, Doesn't Know of Any Timetable Regarding the NCAA's Ongoing Investigation into Michigan

147996_h.jpg


Tony Petitti says he holds no regrets about suspending Jim Harbaugh last season in light of the Connor Stalions-led Michigan sign-stealing scandal.

Petitti suspended Harbaugh for the Wolverines' final three games of the regular season on Nov. 10 after determining that Michigan violated the Big Ten Sportsmanship Policy ”for conducting an impermissible, in-person scouting operation over multiple years.”

The conference's investigation into Michigan is closed, yet an active NCAA case against the Wolverines remains ongoing. Pettitti said Tuesday he wasn't aware if a decision will be made any time soon or what consequences Michigan will face.

“I don't know of a timetable," he said. "I'm not aware yet of when the NCAA will come to any final determination, whatever that might be.”


Just sayin': I would think that the Commissioner would have some insight on the NCAA investigation. At least it does indicate that the investigation is still ongoing.

TTUN: Wink Martindale has boom or bust potential in Ann Arbor​

TTUN’s new defensive coordinator is known for bringing the heat. But will the Wolverines’ secondary be able to hold up?

When Sherrone Moore hired longtime NFL position coach and defensive coordinator Wink Martindale as TTUN’s (new) DC in February, many were left scratching their heads. Not because the latter is a bad football coach or problematic person, but rather because he was 60 years old at the time and hadn’t coached in college since Moore was a teenager. Martindale had also been fired twice in 24 months prior to taking the U of M job, meaning he wasn’t exactly a hot commodity.

That being said, Moore’s former colleague Mike Macdonald is/was a Martindale disciple, so there was some logic to the move. Plus, as we all know, TTUN can only hire coaches from the John Harbaugh coaching tree. So in hindsight, I guess the hiring of Martindale made a ton of sense. To Moore, at least.

Regardless of how or why Martindale ended up in Ann Arbor, he is there now — along with several other coaches who are either new to the school or new to their role(s). Jim Harbaugh poached several of the program’s former assistants for his Los Angeles Chargers staff, leaving Moore and Martindale the somewhat unenviable task of kinda, sorta, maybe starting over on defense.
.
.
.
The million dollar question is, will Martindale push the right buttons and/or cater to the strengths of (all) his players? Or will the “gameshow host up north” stubbornly stick to his f@$% it, let’s blitz mantra?

New Michigan defensive coordinator Wink Martindale boom or bust

Just sayin': OK, I thought that Wink Martindale was a pretty good "game show host"; but he'll be a "bust' as DC at scUM.....:lol:
