@papa pimp He may not be the exact reincarnation of good ole Don, but he def does not run the same defense as Minter/MacDonald like's being trotted around by mfs who tryna feel better about the possible incoming choice lol. Just cuz it's a pro style defense does not mean that it's the exact same defense. Wink runs Nickel a lot more than what Minter/MacDonald likes to and he likes to blitz a helluva lot more too. I will say it does seem like he's willing to switch things up depending on what personnel he has (E.g., Ain't no Kyle Hamilton in NY)

I didn't say he runs the same exact defense but to say its Don Brown 2.0 is an exaggeration.

Minter gave the cosign for Martindale. There are some schematic differences but at its base there is tons of overlap.

The only time dude hasn't fielded a great defense is when he doesn't have the personnel. If no one at Michigan transfers (big if) then that won't be an issue.

Why would anyone need to feel better about that? He did better at his job than Bill O Brien did in the pros.

If he's the choice, then I hope you're right. Only thing that would annoy me is the lazy recruiting angle. I was hoping we'd move away from that, and get even more aggressive.

Positions coaches will be KEY.
I think I like Cullen or Martindale to the alternative of Elston/Clink Co-DCs or even worse some semi unproven dude from the college ranks.

I wonder why Clink isn't getting a look at DC. It makes me think there's something there with him and Sherrone. I don't know if it's a jealousy type thing, or what. I don't see why Clink wouldn't wanna stay home and get that raise.. and (if anything) keep spicing up that resume for when a head coaching gig could open up. Next thing we know, he'll take his ass to MSU and be a pain in the ass on the field and in recruiting.

It appears that Sherrone is leaning heavily on MacDonald, Minter, and the Harbaugh bros for potential DCs.

Just a hunch but I think they didn't give the stamp of approval.

The more I read about these guys, the more I see that they're joined at the hip (Wilkins and Martindale) I wonder is Wilkins would be in it for the long haul tho. They say he's up and coming.. :jbhmm:

The Martindale and even Cullen experiment seem to be predicated on bringing a young "in waiting" type with them.

For Cullen, I keep seeing Sterling Lucas brought up.

I'm good with either or tbh. Sam been off the mark lately I will say lol.

Think either wipes the floor with dudes like Day/Obrien

:pachaha:
As time has gone by.. I've noticed that Sam's reputation for reporting Michigan football is heavily reliant on what the program wants him to publish. That's no way to go about business. And it's why 24/7 re-subs are dwindling in comparison to the other sites.
