Allow me to be the first to congratulate all the Buckeye fans out there.

Mountaineer fans are really encouraged by this move. Michigan should have another losing season coming up...

While I think Gump is a better D-Coordinator than Head Coach, this move has me scratching my head.

RichRod and last year's DC, now at SU - Scott Shafer - didn't see eye-to-eye because the Head Coach wanted his 3-3-5 defense installed while Shafer wanted a traditional 4-3 with lots of aggression.

So RichRod now hires Gump, whose defensive philosophy matches Shafer's???

Also, I think it was interesting that Gump's best friend in the collegiate ranks snubbed him for Rocky Seto, a 4-year position coach (I think he was the Trojans secondary coach, but not sure).

I don't think this is going to end well for the Wolverines.

What a shame!

Cheers,
Neil

Is RichRod desperate or something? Is this the only guy that he can pull in to help him with this Wolverine program that is sinking fast under his watch?

RichRod's whole defensive strategy went up in smoke when Jeff Casteel turned him down to remain at WVU. I don't care who he hires. Whoever it is will be sadly lacking when compared to Casteel. IMO, Jeff Casteel is the best DC in the NCAA. But then I'm prejudiced...
