Michigan fans have been upset in the past when Wolverine coaches left for Columbus. Greg Mattison and Al Washington come to mind. We knew Greg would flame out quickly as he was near retirement, which he did and Al didn't stay long before he jumped to Notre Dame.
Now the reverse has happened, Tony Alford OSU's well known RB Coach is jumping from the Buckeyes to the Wolverines and replacing the role Mike Hart just left. Now we all love Mike and hope his personal situation is not too serious and he is an elite developer of talent. The issue is, he struggled on the recruiting trail. Per EJ Holland on X: Mike Hart landed 1 top 200 RB while at Michigan, Tony landed 9 while at Ohio State. This is not to diminish Mike, its to show that Tony gets it done on the trail.
Since Spring Ball is starting soon, the on boarding team at U of M was able to get Tony's background check and other paperwork done in a matter of hours vs. weeks for other coaches hired. Tony is official as the new RB Coach and Run Game Coordinator. I think this is arguably Sherrone's best hire.
- Devin Bush who has struggled after his ACL injury and spent last year in Seattle is visiting Cleveland today.
- Michigan Basketball ended its season 8-24 last night. Who knows what Warde is going to do. I have two words: Jay Wright. If those 2 words don't work then: Dusty May

Recruiting is at least 505 of your job at Michigan. Bob's statistics says it all on Hart, just like Howards non-envious win/loss record this year in BB... it is something you cannot hide from.
That's 50% .....
Jay Wright retired cause he was tired of the TP/NIL stuff. he's not coming out of retirement!
and Howard's not going anywhere. Warde Manual is lazy and he doesn't like doing any work. Searching and hiring a new coach is way too much to expect from Lazy Warde! They'll run it back with Juwan Howard next year and though it probably won't be as bad as this year, it won't be good!
Why doesn't UM go for the big hire more often? I'd LOVE to see Jay Wright here. Or give John Beilein some Monster energy drink and get him back here. But it seems we always settle. I like the idea of Brian Dutcher, too. He's a proven winner and he's got Michigan bloodlines.
Tony Alford is a grand slam hire. Sharrone Moore just walked into Ryan Day's house, banged his wife, and left his dirty drawers in his bedroom.
