I would guess that Michigan Coach Rod is going to have team meeting shortly after Bowl game and tell/demand certain things from players. This lazy we are Michigan attitude is going to change and fast.
Coach Rod would rather play a walk on with passion and work ethic over a more talented player with questionable work ethic. I am thrilled with the idea that Michigan will no longer get outworked.
Special teams will be special emphasis and Coach Rod is field position fanatic and nothing hurts field position more than poor special teams. Playing fast will be mantra, not just being fast. Recruiting and player development will be done with eye towards special teams. There are no tricks or secrets to special teams.
They are about preparation, effort, and conditioning and Coach Rod will make this concentrate and shore up this area. After S&C would expect this to be Coach Rod's second biggest area to fix and time and effort put into this area should pay huge dividends. Two of Michigan's loses could put right at door of special teams.
When Mike Barwis (if he is the new Michigan's S&C coach) sees Michigan facilities he just might sits down and cry. Michigan's facilities are good, but ten to 15 years behind the times. I hope Coach Barwis will be able to make do for time until we get things necessary to update S&C. I quit going to Michigan S&C clinics about five years ago. Michigan facilities look like Ohio State's did ten years or so ago.
