Wildly different as he coached at schools that are in states that are recruiting hot beds surrounded by states that are recruiting hot beds. But yes TO took over a machine
How did he play? Is he actually any good? I know he started 11 games but we had guys start 11 games in the past who could have been replaced with a garbage can and had the same results
I always look at it this way. Michigan's best player that year was a CB. Who was he going to shut down? Our star Receiver? Tennessee was loaded with NFL talent that year and they got smoked. Pretty sure Michigan's fate would have been the same.
I feel like he's Gabe's replacement. same type of guy maybe just a little bit better vision, maybe a step or two faster. Will be interesting to see how Gabe's rehab goes. Obviously if he doesn't come back 100% Dowdell will slide into Gabe's roll.
