Sources have confirmed that contact has been made with two previously mentioned targets, former Wisconsin defensive coordinator and current Illinois defensive analyst Jim Leonhard, and former Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Clint Hurtt. Agent sources I’ve spoken with think it will be tough to pull either away from the lure of the NFL, but Moore at least has Michigan in the mix (though more so with Hurtt than with Leonhard).

The internal options, i.e. Mike Elston and Steve Clinkscale, remain viable. Elston is one of the coaches Moore is battling to keep from making the jump with Harbaugh. There is good news today on that front, as Elston is on the road with Moore today recruiting. While that’s not a definite sign he’s sticking, it’s certainly encouraging.

A name from the “Ravens tree” to put on the radar is also a coach from the “Minter tree” named John Egorugwu. He has served as the New York Giants inside linebackers coach for the last two years under defensive coordinator Don “Wink” Martindale (who he also worked with during his brief stint with the Ravens in 2015 and 2016). Egorugwu left the organization the same year Minter arrived (2017) to join the Buffalo Bills as a quality control and later assistant linebackers’ coach. (That’s where he connected with Giants coach Brian Daboll, and that connection likely contributed to him surviving Daboll’s breakup with Martindale earlier this month). Egorugwu left the Bills in 2021 to be Minter’s linebackers coach at Vanderbilt. Both men left for their current (and in Minter’s case, soon to be former) positions in 2022. Egorugwu is someone who is well versed in Michigan’s current scheme, and who coaches a position group that currently doesn’t have one.

We literally hired Sherrone Moore without doing any sort of coaching search (I was down with it) because he was supposed to be able to keep consistency and camaraderie going.

So now..

* He's not getting any NIL help (Warde already said as much)
* They're not giving assistant coaches the bonuses that was promised to them by Harbaugh (I'm assuming because Jim is gone)
* They're letting the one guy that (along with Moore) can keep guys happy and motivated, go.. in Ben Herbert.
* Word is Clink is out too.
* Hart is AWOL.
* Jim's got his eyes set on bringing Elston to LA too.
* Our best returning players are already in contact with other schools.

But, relax? Naa. Michigan's athletic department are a bunch of incompetent fukks. They don't give a shyt about sports, period. I've already come to terms with it. I got my natty tho .. so I really don't give a fukk what happens to the program for the rest of my days. They can burn it to the fukkin ground for all I care.

Harbaugh is hurting michigan. That seems clear. Herbert isn’t gonna mean much to wealthy guys with their own trainers. That was much more of a loss to Michigan than it was a gain to the Chargers. Getting in a bidding war over a DL coach is pushing it too. However, if the money saved isn’t used on the roster or on the staff and is gonna sit there and be laundered, that’s on Warde.
