I'm coming around to Biff - reasons

due to timing , Bama's win , and the choke job on Dillingham ... Michigan is left with no real proven candidates that make you feel confident for the future. Everyone left is either mid, or a big risk . what Michigan football needs most right now are two things: 1) high level leadership 2) a roster that can compete against next year's schedule Biff doesn't check any boxes when it comes to X's and O's experience, but he checks every box from a leadership and CEO qualification standpoint . We're better off trying to preserve the most of this roster , having great coordinators in place, and letting Biff work as a CEO figure engaging boosters and keeping players / families happy . IMO that is way better off than hiring a guy that most are disappointed in, losing your best players and donor interest in the process. I tend to disagree that the current hire needs to be a long term solution . This is more about preventing this from completely unraveling now . Deboer and Dillingham were your only real shots at potentially upgrading the roster for next season and making a playoff run. Everyone else is going to lose 4 + games barring some miracle. I'm coming around to the idea of letting Biff hold things together . Did we look any worse when he was filling in for Sherrone?

We just did the hiring because of timing nonsense. Things unraveling mean a lot less now than they did before the portal. Find a guy with a high ceiling, give him all the resources he needs, and if it doesn't work fire him on your own terms and do the next coaching search without the stupid timing constraints we've given ourselves the last 2 coaches.

I’ll never come around on Biff. If he’s anything more than the interim for the citrus bowl, I’ll know everything I need to know and stop caring.
