Summary

In this episode, Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz break down the Michigan head-coaching search so far, including the key storylines, candidates and factors to watch just under two weeks in.

They open with a look at the search so far, and what it says about the Wolverines. They discuss Michigan going all-in on Kalen DeBoer before Alabama's College Football Playoff win, why it made sense, and the Wolverines' top candidates after DeBoer's playoff run with the Crimson Tide got extended. They discuss Jeff Brohm, Adam Stenavich, Kyle Whittingham and others, as well as the level of appeal of the Michigan job, and why timing isn't on their side.

In the second half of the episode, they break down less heralded candidates, including Biff Poggi, Glenn Schumann, Jay Harbaugh, Tony Annese and others. They also look at the timeline of the hire, what the next week might look like, the roster retention side of things and more.
