[@daymondhamler1537]

I love it!

[@freeclimb5487]

Excellent choice. The Godfather of the Ravens defense and mentor to Mike McDonald and Jessi Minter.

[@ddavis1786]

Wink + Clink = UM DEF Beast Mode again in 2024! 💪

[@hayfieldhermit9657]

I don't know if Wink is as good a play caller as McDonald and Minter are, but he was the right man for the job because of his knowledge of the system, and the system is something Michigan cannot afford to lose.

[@fall4ever]

I think Wink is a great hire! The terminology will stay the same which is a plus.

The Michigan/ OSU game this year is going to be interesting to see. Will OSU's $13+ million in player retention payments and pay for play transfers be enough to break their 3 game losing streak? Will the Wink and Clink D shut down the Buckeyes?

Just like past years… Blowhio Suckeyes are loaded with 5 stars and talent… But the difference is Michigan straight outworks them, has more heart, grit, and power… Can’t say enough about our blue collar hard working mentality!

Like to see UM steal Gregg Scruggs, current WI D-line coach and NFL 5-year lineman, with 2 Super Bowl rings. Did I say he’s a Cincy, OH native, ,coached the UC Bearcats and is an experienced college DEF recruiter in the Midwest?

[@brettk9316]

Michigan needs to upgrade their recruiting what they need to do.

[@Cheebaroni812-kx5yt]

Yeah because they really struggled last season going 15-0 and winning the natty 😂

[@jamietwigg4845]

18 4 stars last season 14 of those are early enrollees. 8 practiced with the team through the Rose and Champ game. UofM returns 94% of their defense. UofM is deep with players that want to be there, not chasing the largest bag with an ego to match.

[@cangle37]

Michigan 3 stars dominated Alabama.

Doubling down on your ignorance aren't you Mr. PSU Sycophant. You have been wrong at every turn over the past several years with regard to Michigan football.

[@jsj297]

Wink was Jacks DC at WKy for the Natty season too.

[@jahbrake9791]

Wink is the best NFL defensive coordinator and should be a NFL head coach today. He puts the players first and gives them all the knowledge and strategy to succeed. That's why all his players love him. Also, Wink brings that PRESSURE! He's trying to take the QBs head off. Highest blitz % in the NFL at the Ravens and his Giants defense was the only good thing about that trash team

[@scottmay31]

Got not only d-line but a linebacker coach position to fill as well. Who's going to fill those front 7 coach openings?

[@Darrentalksball]

That's a good question! We should have a short vid out about those spots soon

[@ynp1978]

If everyone stay's put Michigan has 4 legit All American possibilities on defense....Will Johnson-Mason Graham-Kenneth Grant and Rod Moore. The defense should be just fine. 10 starters gone on offense.....that is where the question's are....especially under center.

[@mikemeyer7759]

Crippen is a damn good center…no issues there

[@dcouwlier]

@@mikemeyer7759I believe he means the QB.

[@jamietwigg4845]

UofM was 3 deep along the oline last season, their 2nd string would of started somewhere else. They'll be fine along the line. I'm gonna say Dengal wins the job if Tuttle doesn't get his waiver.

[@mikemeyer7759]

@@dcouwliercrap…you’re right. Long work week. On that note, I feel Michigan became masters of keeping secrets over the last couple seasons. I always thought, if they’d of cut JJ loose (wasn’t a secret) in the meat of the schedule and especially against Bama and Wash, those games could have been outta reach, way sooner. Same with Alex Orgi….i believe the kid can throw, and we’re gonna see it. The O line is fine and dude….Mullings, LOOK out!!!! Run it back and Go Blue!!!

[@dcouwlier]

@@jamietwigg4845 honestly I’d roll the dice with Davis. Only reason he lost his 5* rating was he didn’t grow to the ideal height of a “typical” QB.

[@taxisquad11]

Add the ranking of OSU and Michigan's defense AND offense, what do you get

[@humblebee1111]

The Harbaughs have history with Michigan so they are still going to do what ever they can to keep Michigan on top. They are getting Sherron Moore all help he needs. Ever notice all the connections?

[@taxisquad11]

What help is that?

[@scottsponaas]

Unfortunately Clinkscale just left. Doesn’t change my opinion that they’ll still be dominant on defense.

[@johngarrett6256]

Wasn't Wink Martindale a game show.🤔👍😀

[@jerrylohla5356]

Clinkscale is going to Chargers with Harbaugh.

[@ryanpaulis5847]

You’re more optimistic than I am son. We lost our HC, DC, D line coach, secondary coach, strength & conditioning coach. And major recruiters within that group. Not to mention those specific position coaches were the strength of the team. Sharrone Moore better be better than advertised. And I’m not convinced that he is. The players made last year, specifically the last 3 regular season wins, what it was. I mean dude couldn’t scheme a way to slow down Penn State’s pass rush. And while Penn State’s D was good they weren’t 🌎 beaters by any stretch. What if we’d fell behind in that game? You still not throwing the ball in the 2nd half? I mean cmon. We were on top of the 🌎 after that Penn State game but it left some glaring holes in Moore’s scheming ability IMO.😤🤷🏻‍♂️

[@mlc3136]

It's no secret that the defense is gonna be lit regardless of who coaches that D this year, lol.. .

[@manuelriggins2981]

Hopefully Grant stays

[@jahbrake9791]

As far as the Giants go. They were better than the offense especially in key situations which I know isn't saying much but let's face it the Giants are a whole trap if you're a coach or player lol

[@ctafrance]

I hear the question with Martindale is whether he will be able to recruit as well as the younger guys like Minter. The sales pitch to recruits will be that Martindale is the guy who TAUGHT Minter and Minter's predecessor. The knock on him will be that Minter came up with improvements on Martindale's basic approach to defense. So far, I have not seen any huge move to the transfer portal, unlike the huge move to the NFL draft.
