I’m sure some fans will bitch, but I don’t see why they should considering the circumstances.

True, but there’s already been reports of discontent before it was official. So… I’m here for the tears, the validity of those tears is of no consequence to me.
The reaction of a hiring is always overrated anyways. Time will tell. Most people thought Frost and Rhule would get it done and we still aren’t very good.
I do not.
Yes that private equity deal played a huge part in him being forced out. The DC Scalley was the head coach in waiting for years but it was agreed that Whittingham would retire on his own terms. That changed once Whittingham rightfully called out the PE deal and he was gone 3 days after the deal was finalized.
After 20 yrs…sounds familiar
If you can retire here while getting paid you are winning in life.
Retire in the State of Michigan?
Sounds like you lost at life
Yeah the HCIW things never actually work out well. Current HC is never ready to retire on the best timeline so he's either forced out or the HCIW bolts
So did i. I wanted him over Frost and no one will believe that.
I believe you. I wanted anyone over Frost

Whittingham is as good as Michigan could do given the circumstance.
Great coach. Is obviously short term hire given the fact he just quit Utah. He is 66 years old. But really that’s what they need to guide them through this transition for the next five years or so.
He’s a caretaker until the hire someone younger and better after the retire him in a few years.

Depends on the person. I love the outdoors and I love having four seasons. Cost of living and most of what I love doing is all Traverse City and North. I love the summers up here and low humidity. I love having actual Winter, and the fall is my favorite time of year here. I don't care for March, April, and early May here. The rest is great.
Yeah but the start bird is a bug in the summer and everyone in inbred in the UP. No go for me. Fishing/Hunting and the golf are pretty amazing though.
I really wish Eichorst would have been smart enough to make it happen when he fired Bo. I was on the Matt Campbell train when we hired Frost, but I got the hire and thought it had a good chance of working out.
Isn’t there only four months of good weather. Cost of living I suppose and lakes.
I’m with Sauce, most of Michigan is really beautiful. Yes Michigan has some cities like Flint, Detroit, Saginaw, Benton Harbor and others that are shit holes. But the smaller towns and the countryside parts of Michigan are really awesome. Very quaint and charming. Upper peninsula is beautiful. Lots of natural lakes, dense forestation, great for all outdoor stuff. In the summer lol But you have ice fishing and hunting in the winter.
No outside of Michigan’s shit hole cities and the obnoxious wolf fans it’s really nice state. I’ve always said I could live there.
