It seems that Michigan has two assistants that are or could be in the interview circle.
#1 is Tyrone Wheatley: Coach Wheat is known as a great recruiter and RB coach. He is a legend in Detroit, has NFL playing experience, and also coached in the NFL. I think this would be an interesting choice but his lack of a coordinator role might make this jump to big of one.
#2 is Tim Drevno who of course is Michigan's OC and just signed a 5 year $1M a year contact with Michigan. Tim has been up for other head coaching roles and I believe would be a serious candidate if Western interviews him. I think Tim will leave Ann Arbor in a couple of years for a head coaching job anyway, so why not WMU?
Another guy I would have looked at is Pep Hamilton if I was making the decision for Western. With him taking the Michigan job (even though it hasn't been officially released), I think this is probably a long shot.
Western is a much better job now that they are ranked and just played in the Cotton Bowl. I wouldn't be surprised if they paid a coach over $1M a year, which is pretty high for a MAC school.
You would think Western would need to move fast with signing day a couple of weeks away, but it seems that are taking their time to make the right decision.
- Jimmy and his wife welcomed another child on Wednesday. His name is John Harbaugh, which is obviously named after his famous Uncle. Congratulations to coach and his entire family!
- Jimmy is visiting WR Nico Collins today and using his 1 and only in home visit. Today is the first day after the dead period.
- Michigan Basketball dropped another Big Ten game last night. I have little to no interest in this team right now.
