Michigan would make the most sense. Lost one assistant today and probably losing another one to the Detroit job

Bring 8 mile back to 8 mile. The rap game will never be the same.

I'm kind of surprised as well but he's got a good reputation in the coaching world. He could have gone to Purdue but chose Fred instead when he came here

Why? Michigan has taken a beating from Michigan State with in-state recruiting. Mann could change that quite a bit.

He could, but he won't. They're bringing him in, IMO, for a defensive mind as was the idea when he came here. He'll be in a really similar situation where he is the defensive guy for a head coach who apparently either doesn't care all that much about defense or doesn't know how to coach it. I really didn't think Beilein would hire him. Polar opposite personalities but maybe that's what Beilein thinks he needs.

A good portion of our fan base didn't really like him when he was here and questioned his recruiting abilities. I didn't agree with it

Aw man, Monte in the maize and blue is going to be worse than Wes Johnson in orange (and not even going to start on Adam Haluska). Where's my nutcup?

Don't know the details, but why is Michigan a better job?
