Calling it now: the Paige Shiver situation is going to force Michigan to make a real coaching hire evaluation that nobody in the athletic department wants to have. She went on GMA and called the relationship with Moore an "open secret" inside Schembechler Hall, which means leadership knew and did nothing. That's not just a former staffer speaking out, that's a direct indictment of how the program protects people in power.
The Wolverines need a clean break with the past, and that means hiring a head coach who has zero ties to the Harbaugh era or the Moore tenure. Michigan's defensive SP+ stayed top 10 last year, but that's irrelevant if the culture above the coordinators is compromised. Bringing in an outsider who can rebuild trust inside the building is the only path forward.
This program has too much NIL infrastructure and too strong a recruiting base to let this drag out. Make the hire, move on, and let the football speak for itself.
