Introducing Other Guys in the Mix...


Some other names out there with respect to the head coaching position at Michigan:

Kirk Ferentz- I mentioned his name earlier. I wanted to reiterate that the Michigan brass and Lloyd Carr seem to really like this guy.

Rich Rodriguez- Another aforementioned name. His name keeps coming up so this might be serious. However, I cannot possibly imagine his offense at UM.

Mike Trgovac (pictured above)- The current Carolina Panther defensive coordinator is a former wolverine who Lloyd reportedly likes. He might be a serious candidate who deserves some looking into.

Butch Davis – The current head coach at North Carolina but he is most famous for his stints with the Miami Hurricanes and Cleveland Browns. His name has been rumored but I would consider his chances small at best. Plus, he would violate the “can’t take from a top 10 school” theory that I’ve put out there.

Mike Bellotti- Oregon’s head coach is another name I’ve heard.

* BTW- when I say “name I’ve heard” I mean that there is reported inside information associated with their name. The more inside info mentioned and the higher the quality of it equals the more I will talk about the person.

Ron English- I would be remiss if I didn’t mention UM’s young, up and coming defensive coordinator. He is likely just not ready yet and the powers that be probably think he doesn’t have a sufficient resume to warrant the hire.
