Will Whittingham clean up the Michigan football program?

Or will the Michigan football program corrupt Whittingham?

Compared to the culture in the state of Utah, he's basically living in Gomorrah now. And to think Michigan is actually trying to clean up their act instead of just hiring a coach with a clean rep as a PR move is foolish. Look what Moore and Harbaugh were allowed to get away with. The AD is the same and they still don't have a president, do they?

I think that Whittingham will neither clean up the program or become corrupted by the program, they will still continue to try to run shady shit behind the scenes behind his back. I think tensions between him, and the Michigan people are gonna start pretty quickly. Hard to see him being there for more than 3, 4 years tops, he's not gonna win at a high enough level for them to brush off the culture clash for too long. It's not the awful complete opposite fit that Rich Rod was from a on the field level, but it's a completely terrible fit when it comes to everything else.

Yup, they need a proper Michigan "man" willing to look the other way

The moment that Whittingham decided to just bring all of his Utah/Mormon coaching sphere buddies along with him was the moment this was cemented into being a non-success. I guess the ultimate goal for scUM though was to "rebuild" their reputation, they will be ok with it for a couple of years which is long enough for most of the public to forget about the shenanigans that led to this point.

When the very core of your cultural identity consists of the ironclad belief that you're special, superior, can never do wrong but rather are always the victim, it gives license to engage in all kinds of disgusting behavior and show zero reflection or self-awareness for that behavior.

Whittingham will probably run a clean program for the 3 years that he is there, but he will fundamentally change nothing about the place.
This.

They have to protect the narrative of superiority at all costs and feel justified in doing so because….wait for it…the narrative tells them so. They are better people and doing a little bad for the greater good is ok.

See Penn State and the Cult of Paterno.

Not quite as sick but same principle.

An honest dealer in for a couple of shifts at the black jack table doesn’t clean up the casino.

They have been shown guilty of the biggest cheating scandals in my adult lifetime in football (maybe a tie with SMU), basketball, baseball and hockey, These happened over multiple decades, Presidents and Athletic Directors. That is institutional rot at the deepest level.
