Well, finally.
Sam Webb, Chris Balas, and others are reporting Michigan has come to terms with Kentucky defensive backs coach Steve Clinkscale to be the Wolverines new defensive pass game coordinator and defensive backs coach.
Michigan had one name on everybody’s lips when co-DC/cornerbacks coach Maurice Linguist, hired just last January, couldn’t pass up an opportunity to be the head coach of Buffalo. It was the same name bandied about before Linguist was hired. And the same name this site was all but banging the table for a year before that, when Chris Partridge departed for Ole Miss and Michigan ended up replacing him with Bob Shoop. It’s also one of very few names you could be reading at the top of this post that might actually make you feel better than Linguist did, especially when it came to guys Michigan could find in mid-May.

The unluckiest sports program on Earth caught a doozy in the dinglies last week as co-DC/cornerbacks coach/crack recruiter Mo Linguist took the late-opening Buffalo head job. How bad the fallout will be depends on which replacement coach Michigan can get in this late hour. Here are the gentlemen Michigan could take a swing at. We ll tackle some of the big names first and if we re still shopping later this week I ll have a Part II with other candidates once we have a clearer idea of the market.
For a coaching staff, it is never easy when you lose out on a big in-state recruitment.
Unfortunately that is what happened for the Kentucky Wildcats, as Gavin Wimsatt decided on Friday to.
