Ron Prince named as potential Michigan successor

[Omahusker]

Tom Dienhart, a columnist from the Sporting News has loyd Carr already out the door (I don't necessarily disagree) and has started putting together his short list of successors.

 

I know it's USC week, but this came out today and I found it...amusing.

 

Kansas State coach Ron Prince. Yeah, he's still a work-in-progress, but he has done well in his short time in Manhattan. Plus, he's a no-nonsense guy who cut his teeth at an academic school (Virginia). And hiring an African-American would be a great move for a college football power. Prince played at Appalachian State, which is an interesting note.

So would his boyfriend QB transfer with him?

[tattooedhusker]

he'd have to, he can't pull his head outta his ass

Never Happen. To be a coach at a big time powerhouse program you have to be a big name coach. Michigan fan would never accept it.

Les Miles will be the next Michigan coach.

Les Miles will be the next Michigan coach.

 

I second that

SNOOOOOOOOOOOOZE.

[hack]

all this talk and no-one has mentioned... BO PELLINI?!

 

(waiting for djr to crash the thread)

Les Miles will be the next Michigan coach.

No way. LSU has a much better recruiting base. Why would he leave a program that is in the title hunt year in and year out at this point, to take over a rebuilding project? Mich is going to have a hard time finding a coach. When it is all said and done, they go with a mid level BCS coach. Grobe maybe.

I hope Ron Prince stays right where he is.

I am sure he will. There is no way a rookie head coach that has shown very little gets the job at Michigan.

[HuskerJosh82]

If he did leave, that would mean that he would have to leave his little purple towel home with him.

[KansasHusker]

Prince even being mentioned for the Michigan job is beyond me. A powerhouse going to hire Prince who hasn't even shown he can recruit yet in time he's been at KSU? It would be a good hire if they were planning on getting even worse. No chance Michigan fans would settle for this. Lets get real Tom!

[OmahaPlaya]

Prince going to Michigan? Him coaching would be about as likely as the the actual Prince (who likes purple just as much) trying out for the NFL.

Although LSU has it good, Michigan is home for him and still a more storied program- one fo 5 schools with 800+ wins. Did we have a hard time finding a coach? I think the Michigan job is more desirable right now than the Husker job was when it was open.

 

He was asked about it in a news conference and he did nothing but add to the speculation. His answer was something like "I am happy here and want to focus on what we have going this season but I certainly feel for my people up there in Michigan" That to me, sounds like Michigans next coach.

 

I certainly didn't come up with this idea on my own. I'm not that clever. I haven't heard a local, regional, or national sports figure that doesn't think Miles is the next Michigan coach.
