Season Outlook
Season Report Posted: December 29, 2008 03:58
The Wolverines of Michigan welcomed their new coach, Hart4Heisman into the fold today. Even though the coach has been on the job for less than a day, he is already hard at work. Hosting his first presser.
"Nothing will change in the way of philosophy. We will continue to run the spread option on offense, and the 4-3 will still be our base Defense. However, i will be looking into running a multiple D as we proceed through the season. 4 Solid Defensive Lineman, and 4 solid LBs will allow us to switch without a problem.
As Far as recruiting goes, We've got some guys high on our board that will come in and be able to run the spread. Im not promising anything special this season, but next year i would expect us to at least put up a fight in the Big 10. We have a 4 star QB who has us 2nd, and a 3 star QB that has us 1st. If we can land both we will be in good position."
Coach Hart4Heisman got up after letting the Michigan faithful know what he was thinking for the upcoming season.
