Transcript
00:02failed experiment doesn't see him coming back stoney what do you think um depends when they
00:08hire an athletic director and who's going to make that call because if you wait too long you're
00:13going to get in the same situation you got where you ended up with kyle whittingham if they would
00:17have done you know gotten rid of charone moore a lot earlier they could have probably had some
00:21better candidates maybe i don't think they oh they should have known what was going on but it
00:26wasn't like what was going on that's what i'm talking about they knew yeah everybody knew
00:30in that building it seemed from what you hear afterwards it's a it's it's a mockery it really
00:38is it's it's disgusting what's happened to that my favorite college football team so you got tickets
00:44you go to these games it's it's a joke they've no they finally got a president so she'll start soon
00:49they have no athletic director they got a football coach that you know i admit i thought it was a
00:56perfect the perfect guy for the perfect time they needed somebody to just stabilize everything
01:02squeaky clean reputation but what i didn't figure was that uh he really did not want to be there
01:09and i think he i'm not that's unfair to say he didn't want to be there i think he realized
01:16that it was way too bigger it was way too big than he thought it was yeah this mountain to
01:22climb this
01:22mountain it's it's a lot tougher there's more crap you have to deal with uh and i've i've heard he
01:28gets along with donors really well and that type of stuff and i'm not one for the body language i
01:33wasn't
01:33all bent off on on brady hoke with the the headset stuff but he just shows nothing nothing and whether
01:43it's press conferences where he says some stupid things about rivalries trophy games that type of
01:49thing but just his demeanor on the sideline you'd love to see him like they've had some games where
01:54you know you the refs could maybe made a controversial call he's like he's got that stone face like jim
02:01caldwell had you know it's like what's going on what are you doing yeah i mean i'd compare him to
02:06a
02:07different former detroit oh i know monty williams yeah well rieger said that from the get-go i give
02:12him credit for that but it looks like he doesn't and i will never accuse him of just doing it
02:17for
02:17the money i think he wanted to prove one more time and to shove it up utah's butt that he
02:22can still coach
02:23and he just doesn't seem interested from afar so at utah he had been there so long that you're used
02:32to
02:32certain systems in place yeah you go to a place like michigan which is just a totally different
02:37animal and if you're not invigorated and ready to throw everything you have and go 100 miles an hour
02:43you're going to get run over yeah he looks checked out i can't say factually he is because i'm not
02:49inside his his skull look but i could tell you when you look checked out when your team shows up
02:53that
02:53ill-prepared there's no fight no fire in a rivalry game on top of it stoney he's not a good
02:59fit for
02:59michigan despite what you may have thought then i think we're all on the same page now absolutely
03:03i mean i'm as gov would know i'm always a pretty damn patient guy i was like three years you
03:09give
03:09a guy three years well college football is not the same as it was when they hired rich rod and
03:14that
03:14type of thing okay it's just so obvious that it's not working and oh yeah we're going to do a
03:20national
03:21search for an offensive coordinator how about do a national search for a head coach he should be gone
03:27at the end of the season and they'll work out some kind of buyout and i'm not convinced he even
03:34wants to be here yeah would he really fight it enough that you can't when they bring you in and
03:38tell you you're done you're done but would he be all that heartbroken about it hey kyle here's 25
03:43million bucks but they have to do it the right way they have to have somebody lined up they know
03:47who's going to bring if they're going to do it you bring somebody in you can start recruiting or
03:52keep the recruits you have who's their general manager i don't know what they do and you bring
03:57up they don't have an ad right they should do everything in their power to at least keep hill
04:03as defensive coordinator because he's done a really good job well i think the new coach the new the new
04:07coach gets to hire his staff correct you don't make uh you know you're not making them but at least
04:12you keep them for i don't know look the transfer portal window opens on january 4th but when coaches
04:20get fired guys get thrown into the portal yeah but the the players are their agents are already
04:25talking every school in the country i mean i wouldn't be surprised you need to be ready to go
04:28at the start of december yeah there's 15 guys at least on the michigan team right now probably good
04:33players or young players you think they're going to be good they were already they either know where
04:37they're going or they've already made their decision if they're leaving can you make this move
04:40without an ad or no but who's who's the person who's doing that the ward before he leaves the
04:48president hires the search firm and the president makes the hire i i'm asking i you got to bring in
04:53a consultant yes jim hackett all over again yeah you know he doesn't have to be named the interim ad
04:59like hackett was but you you have to and you have to move swiftly here this has to right this
05:03has to
05:04happen right now yeah you're just wasting next season you're wasting support nobody cares and what's
05:10he going to be saying next year i mean this is a no-brainer no the ad thing is irrelevant
05:17to me
05:17in my mind it really is get somebody in here get a search firm he was uh chris illich's search
05:23firm
05:24i don't know hundred names uh no i think what you do though is you're you act like michigan
05:29you act like you are one of the premier destinations and you spend like it yeah you know what you've
05:35dedicated to bryce sunk cost what you dedicated to paying an offensive coordinator more than any
05:40other coordinator football it's a sunk cost what the buyout is for whit feels immaterial
05:45you're michigan you're michigan for god's sakes act like it you go to chesney and go hey it's cute
05:51you get to play in the rose bowl in front of 15 people right we're gonna pay you more than
05:54everybody
05:55else exactly somebody should be doing that right now if that's the guy that they want sure i'm just
05:59using him as the example i know but who is that person or persons a sir a search firm
06:04do they have connections with the school who the hell knows yeah do you even need a search firm if
06:09we're talking about the same three or four guys but i don't know if the president of the school
06:13you know she's from vanderbilt maybe she would just want to hire clark lee which would be fine he's got
06:18a
06:18really good reputation he's not that old what's he 44 years old i mean you can win some games at
06:24vanderbilt you can certainly win in michigan 248-539-9797 dean and windsor you've been waiting you're on 97
06:33one dean good morning good morning good morning guys what's up uh so i was having this debate at
06:39work uh this morning with a couple different guys and uh it might be off the wall here but i
06:45think
06:45deon sanders would be a pretty fun fit for michigan he's loud in your face uh you know recruiting look
06:54what he did with colorado with like yeah he had travis hunter and his son but that was uh you
07:00know
07:00yeah what's he done what's he done at colorado besides make a lot of publicity
07:04oh publicity we would be good at this point i don't know about that well i will say this
07:09what he would do or at least i hope he would do is hire his former teammate to be the
07:13offensive line
07:14coach yeah and i don't think we wouldn't have to worry about no sharon more uh scandals or anything
07:20like that with uh deon so i'm not taking this call seriously no no no no no deon i mean
07:28he could be the ceo and not put on that so i don't i don't think michigan's gonna hire someone
07:34to win headlines he wouldn't even win headlines by the way he's a bad coach yeah i'm gonna say
07:38he's a bad coach he went one and eight last year in the big 12 right he's one in five
07:42in the big 12
07:42this year he's gonna win like six games over two seasons and that's your replacement for
07:46winning him and we can't bring colorado coaches into this state anymore you also can't bring any more
07:53like does he have any more children he's gonna bring in no i don't think so or a generational
07:58two-way player or yeah like the travis hunter thing is the biggest reason that they had that
08:03season he won the heisman trophy right he brought him up with him in a very unique situation that was
08:07an elite recruit that chose to play at the lower level with him that he brought up they don't have
08:13those guys to bring no we're not it's not serious no we're not disparaging deon sanders as a
08:18human being but as a head coach he's been awful in the big 12 he's 10 and 21 we couldn't
08:26even get
08:27a good big 12 coach to succeed here winning him was a terrific coach in the big 12 there's nothing
08:32serious about deon for this job let's go to john in lexington heights john good morning hey good
08:39morning guys love you love the show how you guys doing good all right hey first of all uh you
08:44know
08:44prayers for uh jack campbell i mean come on we all got to sit sitting there but uh what i
08:50wanted to
08:50say about u of m um what who and and you guys had brought up the ad you know athletic
08:57director who
08:58thought it was a good idea to get the coach from utah that really you know wasn't an impressive record
09:08and you guys i mean let's be honest well hold on hold on a second you know out there uh
09:14ann arbor
09:15michigan the big 10 you know you will come on hold on john john john john john hold on one
09:23second
09:23he did have an impressive record at utah time was up for him he should have stayed in retirement uh
09:30but
09:30getting a coach from utah does not exactly mean uh it's a bad thing there's this guy who went from
09:36utah
09:36to the university of florida i think you're familiar with his work his name is urban meyer
09:41okay all right hey listen i'm not you know totally schooled on it i just thought it was
09:48obviously um and real quick i want to say i i sort of got a glom on to that last
09:54caller
09:54i think neon deon would get us some uh at least all right what's happened to this show
10:00what's going on deon sanders hey listen i hey again i'm only glomming on for the publicity
10:09but the thing is with the utah coach hiring and whatnot we ended up getting our recruits were
10:16his players from utah and some of them are pretty damn good okay john why don't they just hire a
10:23celebrity then if they're doing it for publicity can denzel washington i watched him and remember the
10:27titans you get a ton of publicity if you hired an actor yeah what's leonardo da vinci or
10:33di caprio that's astonism that's you rubbing off on me he's trying to figure out the code
10:40just hire a famous person i mean that's what you'd be doing with neon you're not hiring a football
