Chip Lindsey A Homerun Hire For Michigan?

[@nicholastaiariol2631]

Chip Kelly was an "exciting" hire 😂 we don't need exciting we need an effective offense and that's what the real Chip will provide

[@nathanlawson313]

I love that we got the guy who prepped the #1 overall drafted QB. He's not coming in to an empty cabinet either. We had WRs wide open all over the field, but a QB who couldn't find any of them. As a former QB I was pulling my hair out all season, yelling at the TV, "WhAt ArE yOU WaITiNg FOR!!!"

[@backwoodbilly5975]

@@nathanlawson313 I played T.E through grade and highschool and I was watching receivers (especially T.E) running their routes like "why isn't their a damn ball in his chest!!" 🤬😂

[@machineunit]

I actually think this IS a home run hire. Not sure why people are sleeping on this guy and marginalizing him. He sounds like the best candidate available. Bro literally built Drake Maye and a top 7 offense, and did it in the ACC which, while it's not the Big Ten or SEC, is still an impressive feat for a team like North Carolina. Idk, this is a very very good hire, imo.

[@paulevans3105]

@@machineunit everyone forgets he coached Bo Nix too. So there that

[@machineunit]

@@paulevans3105 I believe I heard that he he only recruited Bo Nix but left before he got to actually play, but either way, the guy knows what he's looking at when it comes to QBs

[@RICOJEEZUS]

​@@paulevans3105 his wiki says he wasn't at auburn while Bo was there. He also only spent 1 season with Maye. People are just running with things said in the comments instead of just looking at his wiki.

[@benbred79]

The reason ppl are not that excited for him is we already have balance n a great run game. We're missing an elite passing game. N when I look....I just don't see that with him. I see a very similar passing game as kirk. I'd guess this is what most see. Doesn't mean it won't work....but it has to or this will become the reason.. sux but true. N I do hope I'm wrong about him....time will tell

[@machineunit]

@benbred79 the best offenses are balanced. Kirk Campbell wasn't unsuccessful because he was balanced. He was unsuccessful because he didn't have a QB or WRs, and his play calls were not conducive to the talent he had available. This guy may run a similar offense, but what I see is THE WAY he runs that offense and THE WAY that he knows how to tailor it to his talent. That's what I think people might be sleeping on.

[@blakerowley3475]

Had Tez at Troy too. He’s been around some guys. Wasn’t my first choice either, but like what he’s done. I loved the comment ( / speculation) about Hampton too, that’d be huge!

[@NicklausMiller]

Nothing better than saying we hired the right chip.

[@mavrick6088]

Drake maye was already Drake maye before Lindsey arrived. The main reason he was hired is because he is excellent at developing offenses around the talent and not the other way around. He can run an air raid type pass game without losing the physicality up front. He is known for dynamic pro style with physical run game. We will have to see how it works out

[@tonyrat8086]

Bring back Connor Stallions

[@jofi4580]

As soon as his show cause expires I hope they do.

[@DFH13019X]

Yards per game is nice, but better stats to focus on include 3rd down conversion percentage, first down offense, scoring drive percentage, red zone offense, and points per game. You can get all the yards in the world, but if you can’t hold the ball, sustain drives, and put up points, it’s all for not.

[@timdepaulis2487]

Chip is an excellent hire. He runs balance offenses. He can run multiple schemes to fit the personnel. He has helped a lot of QBs get to the NFL Stidham, Daniels, Maye. While those qbs were NFL players he still had a very good run game with them. This might not be a A+ hire but at the very least it’s a A- hire.

[@paulevans3105]

This is a very good hire for sure

[@paulevans3105]

Dan Mullen was never coming to Michigan. He's buddies with Urban Meyer

[@NatetheGreat009]

Why did you both want Dan Mullen? He has more in common with O$U than Michigan. IMO Chip was a great hire

[@brothajking68]

One step at a time. We will be better stronger and make the big ten title and playoffs next year. Spread and Smash exactly we run like we do and spread the ball Go. Lue

[@AidenB1010]

not a homerun hire. its a good hire for sure and im glad to have an offensive coordinator(especially one thats dropped 40 per game for seasons before) but hes not a guy that we hire and i see the news and start celebrating. mostly excited to see who he can target at receiver this off season

[@NightwingGR1]

Exactly. This guys is a "we're happy to be ok" hire, not "we are competing for the national championship every year" hire. Michigan is a blue blood, on the VERY short list of truly great universities, and should not be happy with just "ok".

[@RICOJEEZUS]

​@@NightwingGR1agreed

[@BreadKazynski]

“Homerun” hires get you into a similar boat as Ryan Day so I’m happy with this hire.

[@bushcraftohio7320]

Tj I know we all want to be excited but we will have to wait and see. Drake had better stats & numbers under longo but said chip made him a better QB so have you heard any new on UM going after justice haynes?

[@CutFromADifferentCloth7]

@TJ Ronin I wholeheartedly agree that they'll hire another person to be a QB Coach to fully develop and maximize Bryce Underwood's potential.

[@bradleythomas59]

There are Freshman coming into college that are physically and mentally developed enough to play. Look at South Carolina’s QB. Michigan needs to get over the belief that a freshman QB can’t start.

[@DMcQueen-49037]

I love this pick.

[@DeshCanter]

Let’s be honest about something. Exactly who thought Sherrone Moore was a “homerun hire when he came to Michigan several years ago? Trust the guy who just put together the greatest upset in The Rivarly in its entire history, and in his 1st year as sitting head Coach. “The” Coach Moore!

[@RKHasanII]

All ohio fans, please start the video at 3:55

[@MichiganVOCFB]

I doubt if many OU fans watch this channel. Go Bobcats!

[@bxmask]

Can we stop assuming Underwood starts next season? I see him playing a freshman JJ role, possibly with a few more snaps. The same thing happened with Arch Manning. It makes sense

[@MichiganVOCFB]

Agree, a cade/JJ dynamic but until we land a portal QB, its Underwood.

[@d-original2755]

Smash and pass. All Hail...

[@ryanoliver9229]

Good Michigan type of hire

[@MissionForward3]

Not overwhelmed.

[@FredrickFields-rh2re]

Just remember.. this was Jayden Daniels, quarterback coach at one time 💙💙

[@roscoejenkins4221]

When?

[@bradleythomas59]

Probably Arizona State

[@jarrodmurray6424]

Our chip is much better

[@benbred79]

Not to me it's not a homerun. I was hoping for someone with an elite passing game to go with sherrones power run. To me hes not much different then kirk. I hope I'm wrong. But currently I don't see it being much more then blah

[@RICOJEEZUS]

Did better OCs turn Sherrone down or something? 🤔

[@michaelfortenberry5735]

I'll say a sliding triple. Very good hire, but I won't go home run.

[@woodshed_moments]

Well, we also don't want to get saddled with false humility as well. We want to make sure the hire fits and works. I've heard stuff that works and I've heard stuff that brings question marks... As a guy that's played the game, I guess we just gotta see what he brings to the table with Michigan, he's gonna have to be able to work with the spread, RPO set up, using multiple backs and multiple tight ends... for that real smash mouth element like Michigan did last year - apparently he has some bona fides that shows he can do that. I guess we'll just have to see...

[@NightwingGR1]

Michigan should not be settling for an "OK" offense. The great teams, Georgia, Alabama(historically), Michigan last year, and yes, Ohio State...have ELITE offenses. This screams "we're happy to be ok" in perpetuity, and "happy to occasionally make the playoffs"..not "playing for the national championship every year", which is what Michigan SHOULD be doing.

[@keokikaapana7096]

[@raymondyee1687]

Cade McNamara is available in the portal.

[@MichiganVOCFB]

No!

[@bruceleroy3574]

Not thrilled at all with Chip but hey let's see where this goes

[@machineunit]

Huh? Why??

[@SG-jv5zi]

I trust Sherrone Moore, more than I do you, random KZbin commentor

[@natemogg1511]

This guy is great one of 8 sec offenses all time to have 3000 passing and rushing drake maye nick mullens bo nix jarret stidham also check out the running backs he’s produced u be suprised

[@fourdoorglory]

A B+ hire doesn’t belong at Michigan.

[@zplapplap]

“Home run hire”, at the time of a coaching hire, is one of the worst phrases in all of sports.

[@MichiganVOCFB]

Jim Harbaugh was a home run hire, no? I get your point, its too early to draw conclusions.

[@zplapplap]

@ Yes, he was. 👍🏽 All I was saying is that it’s too early. Poor Nebraska borrowed from the Michigan playbook and swung for the fences with Scott Frost. It was a home run . . . until it sailed wide at the foul pole. 😬😦😂

[@desmondwilliams4068]

I'm sorry I cannot get up for this guy. Not based on his name, but based on the schools he has been at....But that is my uniformed opinion...Time will tell

[@davewielhouwer11]

I like thus guy. I didn't want Dan Mullen. I live in S Florida. Have many Gator friends. They hate Urban Meyer, and they don't have much love for Dan Mullen either. He isn't much of a recruiter and tubs people the wrong way.

[@romanmoronie]

It's sounds like everyone is trying their best to sell this guy. It almost sounds like they just settled.

[@koo-hip9406]

The resume speaks for itself in a lot of ways, no one's trying to sell him.

[@davidwright1728]

This guy is special he has a lot of experience and knows how to implement a balanced offense smash spread.....

[@luckeasy6]

We don’t need a big name we needed a guy comfortable with the grind with no star studded expectations or extra pressure from the media stay under the radar and just grind good hire imo

[@Raigshow]

An above offense is not good enough for Michigan, we could have got anybody, and our defense is going to take a major hit next year with departure of all our pro prospects

[@NightwingGR1]

Exactly! They keep saying "we could be a 10 win team" and "his offense might even get us to the playoffs"....they are sounding like Wisconsin or Indiana! Michigan SHOULD be hiring "we are competing for the national championship every single year" not "hey, lets just be happy to be ok, and make the playoffs now and then". Sad, given where they are coming from(def. nat. champ).

[@samariohoward6298]

eric benaminy would be great at qb coach..
