Another Coach Name to Be Aware Of...

Loving the Poly ties we keep bringing in. 

Sark following Saban's footprint. Saban always had a bunch of analyst's on staff. 

I think this will be another solid addition NFL experience both playing and coaching and familiarity with the staff

When you say they are the analyst and not an on field coach, does that means during practice they are not on the football field but in the building instead? Or can they actually be on the football field coaching but just not in the games?

Just games. Some limitations in practice too. 

Can never hurt bringing in ex NFL guys like him and William Gay right? 

Love all the hires! I trust Sark to bring in the right pieces both on the field & off it.

Big fan of that. So was Ced Griffin, and I know Rod was, too.

What is the limit on off-field analysts?  And, coaches?  

Love that Sark is building up the analyst tree like Saban did. 

I've seen some talk that, Coach Sark, could be waiting to see if Coach Harbaugh leaves to the NFL and could poach Coach Elston from Michigan. Not sure if that's the play, but he's certainly kept this close to his chest. You'd think if the new DL coach hire was Coach Wright, it would've be done and dusted by now.

Either way, great grab for Coach Sark again. He's doing a great job of building analysts to help the program and it's starting to really show.

Could be the case. I think Harbaugh is leaving for the NFL and waiting until end of the month to announce so Michigan doesn’t have much choice but to hire Moore as HC and it will also be too late for players to enroll in many other schools at least for the spring semester to avoid a huge portal loss. 

Thanks Bobby,P didn't realize that they could be available during practices. Just thought it was in sessions like the film room.

They're definitely out there during practice but are limited in what they can do.

Would be hard to pull, Elston, as he's a Michigan alum, but he's a great developer and recruiter. Had some really good DL guys at Michigan. There is a chance he might get the bump to DC, too. As word is that if Harbaugh leaves, the DC from Michigan is likely to follow him. 

Will be interesting to see anyway.
