The Michigan football team has a new head coach. That feels like a pretty big deal, so I wrote a lot of words about it.

It's been a brutal last 24 hours for U-M football fans.

Kenny Dillingham has signed a new contract. Kalen DeBoer's season will spill into 2026. The next tier of candidates feels ... underwhelming.

What comes next? Who do I want? My latest newsletter is live.

My Michigan-Northwestern column is live. It'll probably piss some people off. But I'm feeling increasingly better about the game itself the deeper I dig and the more I rewatch it. So here goes nothing:

"On an island of positivity."
