Michigan Monday: Big Al On His Way To San Jose

Mlive

This news is a bit out dated as it officially hit on Friday, but since it's interesting and makes me smile  (now we have great coaches), I thought I would lead Monday's post with it. 

I will first take you down memory lane with Tate Forcier joining San Jose State after he left Michigan in January 2011 due to academic issues.  Tate was there for roughly a year before he left that program as well.  He wasn't on scholarship and his family could no longer afford the tuition. 

Now, Big Al Borges has joined San Jose State as the offensive coordinator.   Also, former Michigan assistant Dan Ferrigno will coach special teams and the tight ends.  As you know, Michigan's special teams has been pretty awful the last few years.

Ok, 3 former Wolverines joined San Jose State after leaving Ann Arbor.   Then you look at the rest of the coaching staff and find that Greg Robinson is the defensive coordinator.   Is there some back door negotiation going on here?  Does Michigan have some deal with SJS to hire it's ex-coaches and we will play them in 2030 or something?

I will tell you one thing, having Robinson as the DC and Borges at the OC is a nightmare type of scenario for many Michigan fans.   Good luck with those two in Mountain West.

• Jimmy tweeted this:  "Thought of the day – What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive! – Sir Walter Scott" I wonder what he was referring to? :-)

• BTW: Thomas Wilcher, Cass Tech head coach is mad at Urban Meyer and wants to talk to him.  Mike Weber hasn't tweeted for 4 days.
