But most of it is the same old mantra; fire Don Brown, hire Lincoln Riley and now the love affair for PJ Fleck. However I do agree that that "Row The Boat" crap is lame as hell. Row on ole wise ones.

Harbaugh brought in a good defensive mind in Shoop and an eager, energetic and personable young coach in Wright. Shoop is not a McElwain, he has recruited before so don't believe the hype from these other blogs that are quick to post him with a low rating. These other schools wouldn't have hired him on if he couldn't recruit at all. On one hand he's been recruiting in SEC country and going head to head against the likes of Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Clemson which is always difficult to win especially when you're recruiting for other schools. The positive here is that now he's recruiting for Michigan and he has his southern/SEC contacts.<br /><br />Tank Wright has the type of personality that makes for a great recruiter which is important because if you're not cheating you're going to need to build relationships; plus he can tell recruits his (brief) experiences with the NFL. He is also young enough to relate to the players and their families and he knows Michigan well and can sell the program to the recruits. He also understands the positions he's coaching and is in good enough condition to demonstrate on the field; that gives him an edge over Greg Mattison. Therefore, being an expert in strength and conditioning is also a plus. These hires are one of those things that you just have to trust the coach especially when your first, second and third choices are already signed with other teams and you need your coaches to go out and recruit for your school.

I've heard and read that Jimmy HAS to hire a couple of ace recruiters to replace the "dearly departed!" It's going to be a very interesting next few days and/or weeks.Cormachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04330567840361202034noreply@blogger.com
