Hmm...West Virginia head coach to Michigan. Maybe he can get Pat White up there to play QB.

Although, I can already hear some of the things people will be saying about him: Was in the position to play for the National Championship and his team choked this year. Sometimes when people say stuff like that, I just want to say that I think it is the players that choke moreso than the coach. I am not concerned either way. I am sure he'll do fine at Michigan...as long as it isn't when he plays Ohio State! smile.gif

I never thought he would bolt WVU with the contract extension and after being courted by Bama last year. It sounds like all the recruits are staying too!!
Great news for the Wolverines!!

This shocked me to hear that he was going to leave WV. I thought he had a good thing going there.

It will be interesting to see what JT and the Buckeyes will do against RR and the Wolverines

Using "huddle buckeye" logic, the Michigan - Ohio State rivalry now stands at 0 - 0!!

Ok he has a good resume but I hope gets how big this rivalry is. Cooper also was from outside of the 2 states and didn't get it I believe his comment was "it's just another game". Another thing is I don't think he has the right type of players for his option style of play right away. For his sake he needs to win one of THE GAMEs in the next 3 years and get more fast athletic style players to establish his option style or he won't be around very long. Kinda like Ty Willingham at Notre Dame. ninja.gif
