Michigan Football, Team 137, 2016 Season.

Not a big loss. Hopefully the replacement is a better recruiter.

[Pasadena Blue]

rumor mill is that our assistant ST coach (i.e. Jay Harbaugh) moves to ST coach, and Partridge moves in as LB coach. No more TE coach (since Jay also did that) --- presumably would be taken on by Jedd. Don't think we need a TE coach anyways --- J Booty knows what he's doing.

Should be interesting to see how much time Bunting gets. He didn't get much this year after early snaps.

[SeattleLionsFan]

There would only be three offensive coaches (not counting the head coach) wouldn't it?

And five on D?

[Rocky Bleier]

Well, this both sucks, and makes sense ....

Unless it let's us keep Partridge.

[lineygoblue]

That's the way I see it, Rocky.

IIRC, when Durkin left, Harbaugh said something about "finding a spot" for Partridge, and was confident he'd have a job for him. Maybe he knew about this back then.

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh has another unique idea.
U-M is attempting to hold a portion of its spring football practice in Florida at the IMG Academy, according to a person with knowledge of the plans but is not authorized to speak publicly.
The news was first reported by TheWolverine.com.

Love it.

[Da Geezer]

Amen

Sunshine State pipeline under construction.

[lineygoblue]

If nothing else, Harbaugh is showing he can think outside the box.

[Rocky Bleier]

I can already hear the SEC coaches crying about how unethical it would be.

And Harbaugh will invite them to practice in AA in March

Excellent idea. Lots of great facilities to practice at.

U-M Stadium, Rynearson Stadium, Ford Field, Kelly Shorts in Mt Pleasant... all with artificial turf ... just waiting for a southern team that wants to get a little spring work in.
