With John O'Korn taking snaps for the last time in the Big House against OSU and with Brandon Peters expected to be ready in a month for a Bowl Game, that is most likely the last time we will see John under center. On Saturday night, that was the only thing we knew about the future of the Michigan QB's.
Then we hear the rumor were actually true that former #1 QB recruit in the country and current Ole Miss QB Shea Patterson took in the game and had a discussion with Harbaugh about transferring to Michigan. It's still up in the air if Shea would be a graduate transfer or have to sit out a year. He was hurt this season after Hugh Freeze left the program. If that was the case, here is what that depth chart could look like:
- Peters
- Speight
- Patterson
- McCaffrey
- Malzone
- Milton
- Doyle
Peters, Speight, and Patterson would battle it out for a starting role. Plenty of good QB's on the roster!
Then what we knew would be a decision for Wilton, had already been made. Wilton on Sunday afternoon announces he will take a graduate transfer year and play for another team for his 5th and final year. Ok, that makes sense, Let's re-shuffle again:
- Peters
- Patterson
- McCaffrey
- Malzone
- Milton
- Doyle
Then we hear from Sam Webb this morning that Michigan said to Shea, thanks but no thanks. We are happy with Peters and McCaffrey. He is now mostly likely heading West. Ok, time to re-shuffle again!
- Peters
- McCaffrey
- Malzone
- Milton
- Doyle
Ok, finally have this thing figured out! We are set, lets head into next season with these 5 guys! Wait, a second. Reports are that Alex Malzone will graduate in 3 years this spring and look for a 2 year graduate transfer situation this summer. Ok let's re-arrange the deck chairs one last time.
- Peters
- McCaffrey
- Milton
- Doyle
The list is final. Reports are that Milton is heading to Ann Arbor in January, so that should help. At least we finally have an all Harbaugh roster of QB's. Not a ton of experience with this group, Peters will have a handful of games as a red shirt sophomore, McCaffrey will be a red shirt freshman and Milton/Doyle are true freshman.

Even though the regular season is over (that was really fast), the fun coaching carousel began this weekend.
UCLA hires Chip Kelly - A+ hire
Florida hires Miss. State Dan Mullen - A- hire
Texas A&M fires Kevin Sumlin targeting FSU Jimbo Fisher - Would be an A+ hire
Nebraska fired Mike Riley targeting UCF - Scott Frost - Would be an A- hire
Ole Miss - Keep their interim head coach
Tennessee tried to hire OSU Greg Schiano and the Tennessee fan base blew up over Greg's involvement in Penn State's Jerry Sandusky situation and now they have pulled the offer. Great work there guys. That hire would have been a B- if they had pulled it off. Not sure I have ever seen social media stop a college football hiring, times they're a changing!
Pep Hamilton is rumored to be a candidate at Arizona State. Many Michigan fans are supporting this move!
There is new urgency this year with the early signing period at 12/20. Schools have less then a month to try to keep their commitments in place with a new coach.
