Episode Notes
On this episode of The Blue Print, we react to the stunning news out of Ann Arbor as Michigan hires longtime Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham to lead the Wolverines. We break down why Michigan targeted Whittingham, what he brings to the program, and how his physical, disciplined, defense-first brand of football fits perfectly with Michigan’s identity and the demands of the Big Ten. The conversation also dives into what this hire signals about the future of recruiting, NIL, and Michigan’s place in the evolving college football landscape. Plus, we set expectations for Year 1 and beyond as Whittingham takes over in Ann Arbor and what success could look like for the Wolverines under his leadership.
