Does the Sherrone Moore situation have hallmarks of CTE? Moore played offensive guard in college.
Do we now say this about every former football player who does something wrong or has issues? About 1,000,000 play football yearly. Another 80,000 college.
I’m not suggesting CTE is not real. But I get a little tired of seeing it brought up every time something like this happens.

While Stanford has admission requirements and transfer restrictions that made it hard to sustain OL dominance, Michigan certainly does not offer that challenge.
Michigan has/had a multi-decade legacy of using a powerful OL and big TEs. The focus on OL, TEs, and FBs literally has been the Michigan brand, and Harbaugh got a lot of his philosophy from his time at Michigan. Shaw is a viable option because he can credibly claim his system aligns with the roster as it exists today. If Michigan does not hire someone with some Intellectual Brutality cred, the roster will have massive transfer portal attrition 5 days after the hire is announced.
Obviously Michigan could recover in 2027, but Shaw is probably one of the few options that could help keep 2026 viable.
Michigan might be able to land a coach from the NFL, but the timing is awful as they best NFL options will not be available for a few weeks and by then the players on the roster will be too far into their portal planning.

Michigan hired Kyle Wittingham from Utah. Good hire by Michigan. I worry a bit that Wittingham will do everything they ask (clean up a program dogged by controversy, recruit well, win) but it won’t be enough because it won’t be a national title or wins against Ohio State.

Michigan did much better than Shaw with Whittingham. When I think of physical teams, Utah pushing Stanford around comes to mind. Current Michigan players also seem happy with the hire based on social media.
I do not think Shaw was seriously considered anywhere. Nor Tavita outside of Stanford.
RE: Michigan - Giants - 12-26-2025
Whittingham is exactly what is needed by Michigan at this time - a coach with integrity and character, qualities that were sorely lacking in each of the last two UM head coaches.
I wish him well as he dons a hazmat suit and enters the cesspool.

Inappropriate relationship is just the tip of the iceberg. You can add home invasion (third degree), assault, stalking, breaking & entering, mental health issues.
That doesn't even include the one-game suspension at the start of 2026 for the signal stealing or the 2023 one-game suspension for violating COVID recruiting rules.
Warde Manuel, AD, still retains his job.
After being fired for cause, he loses the $6.1 annual salary, the $500k retention bonus and the $14 mms. buyout.
