Quote Of The Day
“It’s been a blessing. From the time I got to Michigan, I had a passion of football, and I wanted to help the team win a national championship. I also had a goal of coaching some day. I knew I was an older guy, and whatever happened with my football career playing was going to happen. Afterwards, I wanted to become a coach, and that’s why I came here — to learn from [former Michigan head] Coach [Jim] Harbaugh, [current head man] Coach [Sherrone] Moore. Eventually down the line, it worked out and I became a coach here, so I’m super blessed and excited for the opportunity.”
