The Michigan Plan If Martindale Leaves & HUGE Recruiting News!

[@rickmoller4188]

Wink stay and win a championship! Getting a super bowl win is very hard especially with the teams rumored to be interviewing you!!

[@gabeswitala2292]

He's already got at least one SB ring. Stick around and cement his legacy as a coach who could get it done at both levels.

It's starting to feel like Michigan's DC position is a lot like the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor at Hogwarts!

lol

[@townshealthservices6339]

Thanks!

[@MaizeMadMan]

I appreciate you 🙏🏾. Hey would like for us to do an ad on the show for your business or anything?

[@pbmc_]

He should realize college is where its at now. He's having success on this level. He ll just be another worn out retred in the Nfl.

[@stevep2380]

I wouldn't want to deal with recruiting in its current form if I didn't have to.

[@gabeswitala2292]

News flash, he doesn't have to

[@jazzypoppy-u4g]

No we need to keep him 🫥

[@lancemarteen86]

Been there done that! I’m hoping he will finish out his career with Michigan.

[@azteclegalgroup7604]

Just get a defensive coordinator from a Ravens D or Chargers D tree. With a consistently top D, some nfl team will snap up our D coordinator every couple years

[@MaizeMadMan]

That's pretty much what they done over the last 5yrs I see nothing wrong with continuing the tradition lol

[@azteclegalgroup7604]

@ I don’t think Wink will leave this year. If you were an NFL GM and had to bet your job on your dc hire, would you hire a guy that the Giants fired then had 12 mediocre to bad games in college followed by two brilliant games? There are other candidates for those nfl coordinator jobs. I think no one in nfl hires wink this year, wink excels in 2025 this year, then in 2026 an nfl team snaps Wink up.

[@aarunbrown967]

My guy I’m back I kno it’s been a minute since u seen me comment but I’m here I stay watching #imupset#goblue

[@jaimibrooks3603]

Wink remember those who stay will be champions GO BLUE!!!

[@sethscott4211]

Losing wink would be just frustrating as all hell lol. That defense won those last 2 games without a doubt. Guys were in the right spots and he was scheming to them and just dominating. We were going into next year with one thing our minds which was playoffs cause we finally have a QB and one veteran QB, life's looking great and then this 😅. Either way we seen new faces on the defense being dudes and that's what you wanted to see againt Alabama. Go blue.

[@MaizeMadMan]

yea hopefully he sticks it out at least for this upcoming season while possibly grooming his replacement! #GoBlue

[@MissionForward3]

Awesomeness M3.... Lookin' good for Michigan... A Mallory comin' back to Michigan would be outstanding if Wink leaves.... Hope to meet you and others at the Spring Game festivities. Heard Johnny gonna be there too along with VOCF guys TJ and John.... Gonna b lit.... Stay angry, Bro.

@BeefStewtv76 he was fired January 10, 2024, michigan hired him March 8 2024. New York still owed him 3 million, you call that out of coaching. I call that a vacation.

Just think he wants that NFL fix

[@townshealthservices6339]

We're upset. Go Blue!! Next coach up!! Let's get someone who wants to be in Michigan. He is going to a losing NFL team. He can enjoy the beatdowns. Pay Wink some dough!! He is worth it. Michigan is a winner. I don't like rooting for a team that gets boot stomped every year. You know? What up? Go Maize Madman!! Just do it!!

[@ammielcoats9762]

I feel you but the only reason wink came to mich because he got fired and no one wanted him. Now with the late success NFL teams wants him back. Even if he stayed and have a better defense next season the NFL will be wanting him back again which ultimately he wants to go.

[@MaizeMadMan]

#GoBlue 〽️ yea I think he was always a short-term rental but we could use him one more year

[@BayPawLobeezy_World]

Give me the glasses type of Oakley Shades that Wink Martindale has and color shade of his sunglasses

[@MaizeMadMan]

those are pretty dope!

[@ReadingsbyDom]

The Colts/Falcons are not playoff contenders. He’s 61 with 20-years of NFL experience. Sure it’s pro athletes & money. However, he should be the highest paid in college, especially over Knowles at the other state. Keep positive thoughts for positive results.

[@MaizeMadMan]

this‼

[@spanmarkiola7260]

What about young Robert Livingston from Colorado? He had 4th lowest points scored in the big 12. Sanders refugees might want out with him?

[@MaizeMadMan]

yea I wouldn't mind kicking the tires

[@Wolverine-xm6pp]

Why would Wink leave? He has a great defense returning and has figured things out! If it's money Michigan should be able to match any offer! Chances of failing in the NFL compared to Michigan are much greater.

[@Dieseljordan67]

I just need to point out the fact 11:17 he’s huge

[@MaizeMadMan]

Facts c🗣️

[@anthonydavis4788]

This is not good news for us. People don't understand how much this kills recruiting.we back to our Harbaugh shit. Even if he stays, like Harbaugh, coaching are going to use that against us every recruiting cycle. I've never witnessed a program that constantly shits on its own momentum . Like people who never had anything. The first light of success, everyone starts sniffing their own ass. That's Michigan. Smh, always something.

[@ameliabannanas3738]

Lol not going to hurt recruiting, Michigan will just get another coach either from Chargers or Ravens.

[@anthonydavis4788]

@ameliabannanas3738 I hope you're right, but it still alter recruiting.

[@discoewolverine]

Damn it Wink is outta here!!

[@aaha100]

J. Barham was underwhelming this year considering all the hype he had going into the year

[@MaizeMadMan]

I agree expected more than we got, he was better later in the season but still

[@aaha100]

@MaizeMadMan he's not a player worth "negotiating with" in my opinion.. let him walk if he needs to, we have better talent waiting in the wings

[@MaizeMadMan]

@aaha100 I disagree w/that definitely worth negotiating with

[@aaha100]

@MaizeMadMan I guess it depends what he's asking, just don't want Michigan to overuse NIL resources

[@terrillistreality2191]

To hail with the petty beef😤 Bring back Clink

facts! 🗣

[@ReadingsbyDom]

I’d call Jim Harbaugh and have him call John. After all Jim didn’t even leave an old can of soup in the kitchen cabinet when he left.

[@MaizeMadMan]

dammit lol

[@drae408]

Oh no, you guys wanted him gone after four games.

[@gabeswitala2292]

I never wanted him gone. I wasn't even ever indifferent if he stayed or left like I was with JH. I figured early on that it might take a little bit for him to acclimate to the college game after years of being g spoiled with nfl talent. Turns out I was right after all.

[@MaizeMadMan]

Bwahaha 😂😂 I admitted I was wrong about Wink

[@jb0341]

@@MaizeMadManright there with you man. I have never had to eat my words more than with saying Wink needed to go along with Campbell, now I want him back so bad he had our defense in the back half of the season looking unbelievable.

[@drae408]

@MaizeMadMan lol, it's all good but I do not think it would be a smart move by due to fact that Michigan will have an top 10 defense this season.

[@keokikaapana7096]

Sounds shitty but this is the "business" and that's what even college football has become, even for the student athletes. Next Man UP, whoever that may be, GO BLUE

Wink would be better off staying at Michigan. They are on the road to another championship.

[@Dieseljordan67]

Okay but I’m just saying this as an example you seen how long nick was head coach for and wining every championship every season and that’s refusing to go to the nfl but I’m sorry to say this for those think who he should level up…. I say we need to keep him Michigan is now up and I’m so excited to see what the next season comes especially with all these Five star ⭐️ recruits coming in I think he should stay to be honest because the door me are now finally open as a good program #ImMad 🫥〽️

[@MaizeMadMan]

Nick lost coaches annually too

[@RealMcCoy0205]

Nick bombed as an NFL coach is why.

[@alscompleteoutdoor9091]

Wink is interviewing for a head coaching position right ?...if he is making a lateral move,it makes no sense...

[@MaizeMadMan]

No it's DC, and to be fair DC in the NFL isn't looked at as a lateral move

[@kenwhitman1055]

So who’s has or is working under Wink ?

[@MaizeMadMan]

We'll start with Minter and MacDonald Now Morgan, Esposito, the current Ravens DC Zach Orr, D'Anton Lynn

[@kenwhitman1055]

@ ouch

[@gregguess5248]

I don’t blame wink if he wants a better work / life balance in the NFL

Let's just be honest. Wink is an NFL guy. He's not going on the road to recruit kids. Say goodbye to Wink..... I'm Upset!😤

[@Ohiofelonstate]

Thing with falcons job is they could have the most creative DC in nfl history it wont matter since they dont have the passrush talent to win games..bengals are cheap AF.. i dont see it with the dolts i mean colts...

[@jonnyboi1554]

I think Wink will stay. UM can and will make him the highest paid DC in CFB. People saying he could win a superbowl-he’s not in it for those accolades, just money at this point

[@gabeswitala2292]

He ended up at UM because the fickle nfl didn't want him. Funny how one sub par season at Michigan and now all of a sudden the nfl bumbs giving him the hot prize treatment.

[@johnstacyii4827]

If a raise keeps him then give it.

[@MaizeMadMan]

Yep

Just get Ty Haywood he starts day 1 at rt tackle

[@MaizeMadMan]

Idk if he starts day 1

[@davidhernandez9985]

First and foremost, Wink Martindale wasn't gonna stay in college football for long. This was about to happen sooner or later. Give a shout-out to ex-Wolverine All-American LB, two-time SuperBowl🏆🏆as a player with PittSteelers. I also won one as an LB-C Tampa BayBucc's🏴‍☠ #LarryFoote. A few years ago, C-Harbaugh wanted to hire them. Happy2025🎉; and GOBLUE🤘🏼& INSIGNABOWL#W🏆!

Go after Minter, at least make Harbaugh pay him more.

[@Dieseljordan67]

I want jim back if he’s leaving

[@MaizeMadMan]

Jim ain't coming back to be a coordinator

[@christianherrera5261]

He inherited a elite defense and after only 1 season he might leave back to NFL lol even if he don't take the job he gonna leave eventually

[@ammielcoats9762]

They need to stopped trying to bank on getting these coaches from the NFL especially the ravens john Harbaugh did that to helped his brother jim not Moore. And even if you do get one its a pit stop and they're going back to the NFL its doesn't create continuity and hurts recruiting. Need to get a guy that wants to coach and stay in college.

[@MaizeMadMan]

It's a renewable resource

[@ammielcoats9762]

@MaizeMadMan still let's be honest wink has been coaching in the NFL for decades and gotten fired last year. He's done a great job down the stretch of season but do you really think his heart is in cfb? He took the mich job cause he was unemployed and no NFL teams wanted him didn't even get a interview js fam

[@ammielcoats9762]

@MaizeMadMan but I feel you and digress 🤣 🤣 🤣

[@RealMcCoy0205]

Good coordinators are always going to be on the move to either become a college HC or move to the NFL no matter where they come from.

[@ammielcoats9762]

@RealMcCoy0205 not in this situation even minter was going to the NFL even if Harbaugh would have stayed
