Serena and Matt react to the Michigan coordinator dust settling, discuss our comfort level with Jesse Minter and the apparently collaborative approach they'll be taking at OC, speculate some more about why Josh Gattis was so damn salty, and address Michigan's NIL program taking a step forward with The VICTORS Exchange.
- Minter has a good but not great resume
- We like the playcalling experience
- It's hard to translate the Vanderbilt defense to what Michigan athletes are capable of
- This feels like a continuity hire, but its hard to see the continuity because what Vandy ran under Minter is so different than what we were running
- Matt wonders why there weren't bigger names attached to the job
- Last year Harbaugh took a risk (and he probably had to, because no reputable DC with options is falling over themselves to take a DC job with Michigan while Harbaugh is hanging by a thread)
- This year is significantly different circumstances. So why no big names?
- Perhaps the timing in the cycle?
- Gattis is still salty
- We try to reconcile reports that Gattis was going to be named head coach if Harbaugh left with the way he behaved in his departure
- Something doesn't make sense, but the truth is probably somewhere in the middle
- Matt Weiss/Sherrone More get the nod
- Again, a totally expected continuity move
- Just hoping the offense can take a step forward
- Please don't take 30 seconds to get the play call in, we're begging
- Michigan launches an NIL portal
- Serena wants to form an LLC just to drop bags
- Seems like OSU and Michigan are taking similar approaches at this stage
