The one thing that Warde has always failed to understand is, you don't fire an important position without knowing you are going to hire next. Warde is a bad leader for many reason, but his lack of future planning might be his biggest weakness.
Case in point, Coach Whitt comes in and has his coordinators lined up before he got to Ann Arbor. He also knew the priority was keeping the current roster in A2 and lining up great players in the portal. You can't bring in a new GM at that point and do that. So he keep Magee around until this week to serve that purpose. That is a boss move.
The next is hiring former ND Co-AD Dave Peloquin as Michigan's next GM. Dave was with ND for 21 years in these roles: Notre Dame’s director of player personnel 2004-2023, director of football development (2007-2013) and assistant athletic director/strategic initiatives (2023-2025).
This is considered to be a big time hire for Michigan and a midwest football guy leading the organization. ND was in the National Championship game twice under Dave's leadership. This seemed to be the #1 target and Coach Whitt landed him.
I can't tell you how happy I am to have a real leader leading this program on and off the field.
- We reported a few weeks ago that some teams had not been paid from the Players Tournament that Michigan won over the holidays. Other reports have now surfaced that Michigan did get their share but not the $1M bonus for winning the tournament.
