We got the Friday free-for-all mailback going on here in the Irish Breakdown podcast, brought to by our friends over at Fandle.

We have some great questions.

And Vince, to answer the question that you ended part three with up next.

We have our guy Tommy Guns.

It's a little editing on my part.

Tommy Guns, here we go.

How do you think Whittingham will handle the potential of media asking him,

assistance and players about the AD situation if it's not resolved soon? What would failure of

that look like? Well, I mean, failure of that would look like airing out the entire program's

dirty laundry. Like, he's like, well, gosh, if he's in a press conference and he's asked, hey, Coach Wittingham, how, you know, there's a lot going on behind the scenes. How are you able to handle that? And he's just like, well, how am I able to handle it? Where do I even begin? Like, we got this going on and this going on. And so I think the failure of that would look pretty obvious. But he's a vet. I mean, he's, he's been in the coaching industry for a very long time,

and I think he's going to be very professional with how he handles things. I don't think he's

going to answer any questions that he's not qualified to ask. You know, I mean, media can ask,

and this isn't a shot at anyone in particular. This is just, we've all seen it. We've seen

interviews with athletes where they get asked crazy questions that they just don't have any bandwidth to answer. And so I think Whittingham will be professional about it. He won't answer any questions that he's not qualified to. I'm sure he'll ask you, who's the next athletic director going to be? And he's, look, guys, that's not what I was brought to Ann Arbor to do. I was not brought here to hire an athletic director. That's not a part of my job description. My job is get this team ready for September, whatever they're opening kickoff is, and to get the most out of this program and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That's what I think it will sound like personally Vince what do you think

yeah i think he's going to deflect it i mean he's going to 100% deflect if that question is

asked of him it's like look i i don't hire the athletic director that's not my job and i'm here

to coach football team and that's what i'm going to continue to do like that's that's how that

conversation's going to go and that's how it should go if continue to do. That's how that conversation is going to go,

and that's how it should go. If he goes any more in depth than that, then he answered it incorrectly.

That's honestly the way I look at it. He would be foolish to utter any kind of opinion, response, or anything

else of that matter when it comes to the athletic director.

It's like I work for Michigan football, or I work for Michigan.
