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

My sources say D coordinator.

Haskins officially declares for the draft.  Interested to see if Fields gets hardship waiver.....

Jeff Hafley has been hired as well. He will be co-DC with Mattison.

I'm hoping they keep Larry Johnson as defensive line coach...

And I just read they have promoted him to associate head coach. That's great as far as i'm concerned.

I think it's a done deal...could you imagine the outcry if Patterson was allowed to play, but Fields wasn't--especially since he's playing the race card? He'll get the waiver...book it.

...and the Buckeye Train keeps a rollin'....this is fricking crazy!

As if it were enough that the Buckeyes have wood shedded Michigan on the field for the better part of the last 20 years, now they are moving into the football offices with the offensive.  

Basically Ohio State just pulled  Michigan's gym shorts down on the playground with the entire student body witnessing - and Michigan is wearing Incredible Hulk underpants.  

Makes you wonder if Harbaugh is sticking around for very much longer?

Makes you wonder if Harbaugh is sticking around for very much longer? 

you read my mind, ETB, I was just coming on here to post that same sentiment...I posted on 11W that something's going on up there, and this Washington hire just confirmed it--I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Harbaugh announces he's bolting for the NFL...again

The hirings of Mattison and Washington are a massive perception and psychological blow to Michigan, which has lost seven consecutive games to Ohio State. Both coaches were extended offers for increased salary, sources told The Blade, and still chose to leave for Ohio State.

“For Michigan, losing Greg Mattison isn’t detrimental on paper given his age [69]. However, losing him — or anyone — to Ohio State is more icing on the Buckeyes’ cake,” Brandon Justice of TheWolverineLounge.com said. “Al Washington’s departure is far more impactful, both on paper and from the rivalry perspective. Washington was the best young recruiter on staff. He was making huge strides in Ohio, as Michigan added six from the state in its 2019 class.

“When your archrival embarrasses you on a national stage again, then steals two of your coaches, the embarrassment on the program’s image and its brand is significant. Jim Harbaugh is going to have to respond with two big-time hires.”

I'm afraid we've lost too much talent at reciever, and i'm curious to see how that affects whoever the new quarterback is.  But I also wasn't too impressed by what we had coming into last year. There was so much hype and i just didn't see it. At the beginning of the year I thought Paris Campbell was overrated.  Obviously I was wrong.

what?!? yes, we lost talent, but with Hill, Mack, Victor, Olave, Ruckert, McCall, etc. all in the fold, there is little reason to worry...my god, man, any team in the country would kill to have these guys catching balls

I think people forget how good Mack is because he missed a good chunk of the year due to injury.  Victor can hopefully mold into a nice deep threat and jump ball situations.
