Sounds like Kyle Whittingham is going to Michigan.
Really solid coach, but not exactly a sexy hire. And he's 66 years old, which means they're going to be doing this again in five years or less.
But if it's a stopgap, let's reset the culture kind of move, it's probably a good move.

I don't care whether or not he's a sexy hire. I just want to know if he will be bringing a sexy girlfriend along with him to be there on the sidelines with him. That's expected today when a school hires an older coach.

He's only two years older than Cignetti.

And you are 100% correct this is a culture reset hire. He is what Michigan needs right now. A young coach like Fisch wasn't going to take the job when he didn't know who his AD would be, and Whittingham has a reputation as a stand-up coach without NCAA issues or out chasing co-eds and female coworkers.

But you never know what temptations may await him in the Big Ten. When I learned there were Gene Keady groupies back when he coached at Purdue, I knew anything was possible.

Despite a National Championship, some UofM alumni, and I assume administration are very embarrassed by the program. Seems like a good hire to reset the reputation.

You haven't met many UM alumni if you think they're embarrassed, have you?

The last thing UM needs right now is a sexy hire. They just sh!scanned a guy who thought he was the sexiest man in Michigan.

Most of the people who are Michigan fans did not attend.

LOL! True, 2 are cousins and 1 HS friend.  They are generally (very)proud of UofM.
