Would there be enough guys left to field a team if they told Moore to gently caress off?

A Big Time program not even interviewing the external candidates and seeing who else is out there seems like malpractice?

They'll look at names but I don't see how they can hire anyone besides Moore after last season, especially if you're trying to avoid a Bama-like bleed out of players.

There wouldn't even be staff to fix the turf if they told Moore to leave.

If a coach not named Sherrone Moore is the next HC of Michigan, they deserve the most significant mass exodus in college football history.

Only exception would be Minter, as he's That Dude when it comes to defenses. But, he's likely going to the NFL anyways and has only been around two years versus Sherrone Moore's six. Moore's playcalling is excellent and he would be a continuation, unlike the years of RichRod, with yout-

Maybe Moore steps right up and the good times keep rolling, but not seriously interviewing any external candidates is not a great idea (especially if you can have pretty much anyone you wanted)

Yeah my point is more that any professional institution wouldn’t just blindly promote from within the without at least talking to external candidates. Maybe it’s always been Saban’s dream to return to the B1G

Acting quickly is in the best interest of the program if they’re gonna hold on. I’m sure they sent out feelers as soon as Harbaugh started interviewing if there was anyone they’d genuinely prefer over Moore.

Most places probably don't have 90% of their (not-)employees standing outside the interview room with their 2 weeks notice in hand waiting for their guy to come out.

If Moore sucks, fire him next year with a clear conscience and get whoever you want anyways.

This definitely feels like the expedient solution to keep the team together and functional for next season, even if I have my doubts it will really work out in the long term. I doubt this would happen in the pre-portal era. Michigan is a top 5 job. I don't think you just hand it to a coordinator unless that coordinator had previously been a FBS head coach.

What makes you think Michigan hasn't been talking to and vetting people all year if not for years? Jim leaving wasn't a surprise. They've had people looking at the succession plan for a while I'd imagine, and part of that would include looking at external candidates.

Don't mistake moving fast for moving stupidly or without a plan.

Probably because ending up with an internal promotion from arguably the weaker side of the ball seems like a step down from what is arguably a top 5 college football program? Outside of maybe 5 coaches Michigan should be able to hire whoever they want

They proly have. Infact it’s probably been collated into a multi thousand word document. That lays-out exact succession plans and the future of Michigan football. Its more of a manifesto if you will.

I mean, you have to convince top tier coaches to consider a program that might face sanctions very soon, plus deal with an already heavily depleted roster that will likely be even more so if you aren’t Sherrone Moore.

And if you open that search, I think Harbaugh is likely taking Moore with him and going scorched earth on the admin.

Honestly, I think passing on Moore would be a classic case of overthinking and would do more harm than giving him a chance.

"Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?"
Moore was 4-0 last season.

Including a win on the road against a tough #9 Penn State defense and a home win against a #2 Ohio State.

Now, granted, a great deal of those players on said 2023 team are leaving for the draft, but Moore isn’t exactly a strength and conditioning coach from Coastal Carolina.

Michigan isn’t going to repeat in 2024 but they’re not going to go 3-9, either. I’m willing to give Sherrone Moore a chance. Players love the guy. He’s an excellent recruiter. He’s been taught a great deal by Harbaugh. If he doesn’t work out, so be it, but there aren’t exactly multiple HOF coaches Michigan can choose from in the coming weeks, unless the school President and AD can use dark Sith magicks to convince Bill Belichick to be the next great Michigan Man.

Game day coaching is maybe the 4th or 5th most important thing a college football head coach does.
