Yeah, drafting a safety would be a move for 2027, not 2026. First step will need to be extending Amik. Arnold and Reed on the outside with Amik at the slot is a good start. If you're concerned you will be without both Branch and Kerby for some, most, or all of 2026, you need to sign someone like Kyle Duggar (PIT), Jalen Thompson (ARI), or Andre Cisco (NYJ). Maybe Reed Blankenship (PHI) could be considered too. Draft reinforcements will likely come too little, too late. If they have confidence in Branch's recovery though, I wouldn't be surprised if all they do is take a mid- to late-round flyer. They won't give out a three-year deal for someone to ride the bench after half a season.

I wouldn't go that far yet. He's been pushing his knee for two months trying to get back on the field. He might feel a lot better, even if not 100%, if he just shuts it down completely for six months. And that's not even considering the possibility of medical interventions during that time.

My understanding (and I should be really clear that I am not a lawyer and I've never been arrested, I just have weird anecdotal knowledge of Ann Arbor court systems stemming from my time working in child welfare) is that Community Corrections in Ann Arbor, next door to the jail, monitors individuals on pre-trial release. Two or three times a week, they walk over with a handful of tethers and install them on those individuals who have bonded out and are waiting on a tether to be released as a condition. But if you post bond on a Wednesday afternoon and they already walked over on Wednesday morning, you'll likely wait until at least Friday morning. If the jail wants him out, I could see them asking Community Corrections to make a special Friday afternoon trip for everyone, even if they normally would wait until Monday morning.

I agree with this. She shouldn't be stalked or harassed or threatened. And I'm sure she'll get a sizable payout in a civil suit from the University and Moore personally. But she knew what she was doing. She knew Moore was married. She did it anyway. For years. I feel very little sympathy for her relative to Kelli and her young children.

With the order that he be placed on GPS tether before release, he may be stuck in jail until Monday. They don't work quickly in installing those things. Unless the jail staff is sick of the media attention and speeds it up for him, which is a distinct possibility.

Washtenaw County is not treating this like any other case. Normally a prosecutor doesn't even appear for the arraignments, unless they're asking for no bond.

Have to assume his season is done.

This feels like something his agent would leak when he isn’t a leading candidate at Michigan, to drum up interest in future cycles. Did they probably ask if he’s interested in interviewing? Yes. Did they probably ask a dozen other names as well? Yes. I’d be very surprised if Rees is anywhere in Plan A, B, C, D, E, or F.

The one time I watched an arraignment in Ann Arbor, it was broadcast live in the lobby of the courthouse. It was not something available on YouTube. Simpson in Ann Arbor and Middleton on the west side of the state are the exceptions, not the rule, as far as broadcasting everything publicly for the world to see on YouTube.

With a high enough buyout any job is worth taking.

Who would hire the next coach if not Warde? We don't have time to hire both an AD and a coach in the next three weeks. If Warde can hire DeBour or Freeman, he should. Then, he can be given his walking papers.
-
Warde is also a ginormous human being.
-
Assuming these periods don't "stack" I expect Michigan will hire a coach by late December, so that in reality there will only be one portal period. And if they poach a DeBour or Freeman it will be absolute chaos.

It's not unheard of for someone to sit in detention for 24-72 hours before getting arraigned. Depends on the county, judge, courts, case load, charges, etc. That's regardless of suicide watch. Suicide watch in the jails is usually just an isolation cell, more regular supervision, and special clothing.

WCPO would do well to just establish a Michigan Football division for these yearly scandals. They can handle all tunnel fiascos, former coach assaults, disputes between coaches and the NCAA, and gun charges involving defensive linemen.

Apparently the source on this very distracting story is a lesser-known insider, Marde Wanuel.

I’m pretty sure this is AI. I have some limited (not first hand) knowledge of the Washtenaw County Jail. They don’t release mugshots publicly and they tend to allow inmates to keep their street clothing on while in overnight detention awaiting arraignment, with some exceptions.

I think there’s a reason he keeps getting interviewed. If you want a program in crisis to have stability, confidence, and competent leadership he’s your man. Of course stability and competent leadership does not necessarily include winning. He’s not a strong Xs and Os coach (which is why he and Morton are probably not going to stay with the Lions past this year), but I do think he’s better than the end of his Stanford tenure would have you believe. For his entire tenure, Stanford Admissions would not permit football players to transfer in unless they were going to be admitted as a transfer anyway. Mind you, Stanford admits like 30 transfer students a year, and half of them are armed forces veterans. Imagine running a college football program where the transfer portal was a one-way street and it’s no wonder he went 3-9. Anyway that diatribe over, he wouldn’t be a good hire and they shouldn’t do it, I’m just throwing out names. Also I met him on Thanksgiving and he was very nice even though I interrupted his family time pregame.

The funniest outcome would be for Michigan to hire Kalen DeBour and Alabama to hire Lane Kiffin.

Couple other names that might be explored: David Shaw, Brian Griese, Larry Foote, Pat Narduzzi, Lance Leipold, Kliff Kingsbury, Robert Saleh, Zach Orr
