Michael Jordan entering the draft. Sucks. He was a beast. 

Bye Dwayne.  And Thanks!  Bye Tate.  Good luck!

Alex Grinch leaving to become DC at Oklahoma. 

Who is going to be in charge of the secondary next year? 

Has the date for the Spring Game been set yet?

Probably 4/20.  There is a big Lacrosse game at home that day.  

Easter weekend?

I may be wrong, but I believe the Spring Game was held on Easter weekend in the not too distant past...and with the LAX game being on the 20th, it wouldn't surprise me if it indeed was that weekend.
 

Schiano gone

Looks like Day already hired Mattison from UM to replace Schiano.

Is this good or bad after how they finished the season? 

Mattison was the D line coach and I would say that was a strong part of the UM D....time will tell.....

Al Washington is probably coming south too.

I saw that he hired him, but not sure if it's as his DC?

Overall, I'd say good. Their D was strong most of last year and to be completely fair to them, it seemed our guys were putting a physical pounding on their players in that game, to where I remember it feeling like someone was needing helped off the field for them pretty often. And against Florida, a couple of their best players were out for draft prep and a few of the others got hurt during that game. At least against us, it'd have been a pretty ugly look for their D no matter what, but I think injury/draft decimation made things somewhat worse for them down the stretch.

Either way, it'll be hard for the D to look worse than it did at times this year, with linebackers taking horrible routes and defensive backs being PI magnets. Get someone in to simply coach up our talent with the fundamentals so they can rely on more than their 4/5-star talent to make plays and I think you'd see an improvement just based off that.

one thing's for sure--as long as LJ is in Cbus, ain't nobody coaching the Dline except him...now linebackers? oh hell yes!

I certainly hope so--the guy's a helluva coach, and he's young too

no surprise here...
