Mo Linguist Gone

[thewolverines24]

Took the HC gig at Buffalo. He was our Co-DC and CBs coach and was expected to elevate our recruiting. He lasted a bit over 3 months at UM. Hell of a run.

My understanding is that his recruiting forte was specializing in focusing on foreign language/unusual dialect athletes.

Steve Clinkscale hired to replace Linguist. Great move!

"pass game coordinator and defensive backs coach"

I don't think any of this stuff is particularly complicated, but I don't have any faith that the average college football assistant has the organizational skills and attention to detail to manage both of these tasks at the same time.

This season is either going to be a miraculous turnaround that proves everyone wrong, or an ugly slog to 5-7 (or worse) with Harbaugh retiring in December.

Clink is a great secondary coach. He was the best option out there after Linguist left, so this is a win.

I still think the season is going to hover around 6-6. The defense isn't good enough at CB, DT, or LB for it to be better.

Ronnie Bell is a solid WR, but he's no gamebreaker as the #1. All the other WRs are question marks. TE is Erick "Drops" All passes and not much else. QB is a big question mark along with the coaches ability to call a cohesive game and allow the team to play with any semblance of tempo other than snail.

I thought they would get Clinkscale before they got MO. It all worked out in the end.

Maybe he is defensive passing game coordinator?

He is. Same role Kentucky promoted him to this year. No way he was coming here without getting the same position/title.
