ASSuming that Les Miles is the head coach at Michigan. Impressive resume, Superior interior line coach. Passionate and fiery personality whose players loved him and played hard for him. At clinic one year he had players come in on day off to give on field demonstration. One player, a OT who was 1st round draft pick, came sprinting across the field just as demonstration was ending. You could hear how disappointed he was that we had let Coach Miles down. Always made himself available when he was an assistant.Michigan current staff:
Scot Loeffler (QB) I think he is here until he know longer wants to coach anymore and (IMO) he will never leave the Ann Arbor area and actually if Miles comes in he might be the right guy to take over for him whenever Miles retires say in 10-12 years. Good young QB coach. Like how he runs his practices and teaches fundamentals.
Fred Jackson (RB) I have heard both ways that he would like to stay on the staff and also heard he might look to do something different, but if he wants to be back I believe he will be on the next staff. One of the most popular assistants I have ever seen. His players absolutely love him and it shows in their play. Very good recruiting connections in Texas and Louisiana. Impressive how he gets star RB's to step up and do the dirty work, block. Good coach and better person.
Steve Stripling (DL) I think he will stay, but again not sure who will come from Miles current staff or if he will look around for another opportunity elsewhere. Solid D line Coach. Michigan's front four play has improved since his arrival.
Erik Campbell (WR) I think he will stay because he is a fixture on the Michigan staff and will continue to be. Think he is here as long as he wants as well. Top notch WR coach. His players are always well prepped and generally play hard.
Chris Singletary: (RC) Miles could always bring Henson onboard as the RC as well since he did that at LSU, but I hope they keep Chris Singletary there.
I think DeBord, Moeller, Bedford, English, and Szabo (retire) will probably not be retained, but who knows just depends id Martin and Miles made some type of agreement before hand along with whom he wants to bring from his current staff or outside those programs. Regarding English he might want to take a stab at becoming a head coach at a smaller school or look around somewhere out west.
LSU current Staff:
Doug Mallory (DB) I have to think that Miles would want to bring him back to Ann Arbor and see him as one of his assistant coaches. I think he would be the first guy to follow for sure.
Greg Studrawa (OL) "Fostoria, Ohio product" close to my home. Would he come back in the area if say DeBord does not want to stay on the job or take a demotion? Think this could be a guy from his current staff that would follow Miles. Greg Studrawa is the Offensive line coach who is an excellent young coach. Was (OC) at Bowling green for some years. Ran spread offense when at BGSU. Michigan staff could really use someone with knowledge of spread. Not only to help offense, but defense as well. Best way to learn to stop an offense is talk to someone who runs it.
Larry Porter (RB's & ST's) He has been with Miles since 2002 at Oklahoma State. I would think he would be first choice to come with Miles (IF) Fred Jackson decided that he does not want to be back. Larry Porter is the Running back coach who is pretty young at 35 and was the 2007 national recruiter of the year and had the eight players last year with a four star average. Also is a very good running back coach that gets involved with the rotation of the RB's.
Josh Henson (TE's & Recruiting Co.) He has been on with Miles since 1995 when Miles came to Oklahoma State. He was a O-line for the Okie's. Then became a coach for them in 1999. He might follow Miles as well if asked.
Gary Crowton (OC) He might follow Miles as well if Miles does not think "Lefty" is ready for the (OC) or Miles might want to go after another OC from a different staff. Greg Crowton - Good reputation as Offensive coach. Saw him talk once, very impressive knowledge of short and play action passing game out of spread look. Like how he has incorporated power running game with passing game at LSU.
Bradley Dale Peveto (LB & ST's) He does both jobs at LSU now. Wondering what he would do or if Miles would want him since I think Szabo is gone (retire). He might follow Miles, but if Pelini takes over the LSU program he might stay there as well and move up.
Tommy Moffitt (S&C) I am not sure Miles can pull him away from LSU he has been there for eight years and I believe three Head Coaches. He would be a great get for the new S&C coach. I think this new coach whoever it will be is going to change the "landscape" the most at Michigan and the players at Michigan might finally get a wake-up call and find out that the off season really is not the off season anymore. I think the players have lost games this year from the "off season" more than during the games. I think no more "not mandatory" work-outs will be come a staple at Michigan from here on out and the kids will not be treated so "nicely" and the kid gloves will come off.
Not on either staff:
Jon Tenuta: (DC) Chan Gailey was fired and left Tenuta as intern-HC so that might makes it a little bit difficult especially if he is in the running for the HC job there. Excellent DB's and ultra-aggressive DC. Fantastic resume, been DC at six different program including Ga. Tech and OSU. Would love to see Coach Tenuta at Michigan. Former high school coach in Columbus area. Ohio high school connections are always a good thing.
Mike Trgovac: (DC) Would he come back to Michigan just to be a DC and give up a lot of money in the NFL? Also John Fox his HC right now at the Carolina Panthers might be on the "HOT" seat so he might lose his job there, but he would easily find another DC job in the NFL if he wanted it. Impressive resume, Top flight Defensive line coach. good speaker and clinician. His D lines are statistically among the best in the NFL. Shown ability to develop young players and adapt to his personnel. Would be one of three top candidates for DC if I was interviewing.
Curt Mallory: (DC) His brother is Doug who has been with Miles for quite sometime now and the Mallory's have been around the Michigan program. Curt is co-DC at Illinois and also in charge of the DB's there so he might be looking to move to Michigan as the DC and have his brother as the DB coach. Really like the guy. Energetic tough young coach with bright future. Had high football IQ as a player. Bo always talked about his toughness on special teams. Comes from a true football family, dad and both brothers are coaches, or retired coaches.
S&C Coach:
The biggest question might not be who the coaches are, but who will be the S&C coach and how will that programs change the landscape of Michigan football. Also the "voluntary" off season workout programs I am sure are going to change. The one thing is the players will have to buy into the system for it to work and also realize you only get what you put into something and the easiest thing to do is show them what players at Ohio State have done over the last five years. The players at Ohio State themselves police the team and make each player realizes how important the off season is and they win games in the fall by putting the work in during the off season. Also need to make it so that if you are not going to put the work in the off season then you are not going to see the field in the fall and the coaches need to stick to this program and show the players that it is not just "talk" and you might have a rough year by proving your point, but for the programs sake and also the future of Michigan football it needs to be done and done right now.
