Coach Dantonio playing out an unfamiliar script in college and professional athletics. Experienced a rough year in 2016, and made no staff changes. Instead of blowing it all up, he trusted in his assistants (all who are proven championship-caliber coaches) to be problem solvers.

Changing your HC’s practice structure, propping it up with the kids, and going to social media to say how much better it was is not the move for an assistant to make. Best to save your suggestions for a postseason meeting.

All very talented and well-coached players from high quality programs. Here’s a map of the rest of the “state of Michigan” where you can invite and profile plenty of others.
@PNHuskieFB
at the intersection of I-94 and US-131 would be happy to host you and anyone on the west side.
The majority of the top underclassmen in the state of Michigan met me at Belleville high school this morning. As always a terrific bunch of athletes couple of five stars and several four-star prospects. According to the players MI,MI ST and PS seem to be doing the best job.

I love the kids who, despite not being on top of the depth chart or maybe not the most gifted athletically, are still “all in.” It can be so easy just to be a “bus rider.” Instead they choose enthusiasm, effort, and lifting others up. We might all end up working for them someday.

72 hours into being a head coach, I can tell anyone aspiring to that role, that the validation of your work is not in landing a dream gig... it’s in the calls, texts, handshakes & hugs from your former players and their parents at all of your stops along the way. Overwhelming!🙏

Very difficult news. Mr. Wegenke treated myself, my family, and so many others in Haslett tremendously well. Had that “it” factor when it came to relating with kids. Very simply... one of the people who make you very proud to be from where you are from. Rest in peace, my friend.
