Michigan Job

Speculation is one thing, they may hire someone soon. But the only reliable data (meaning it does not come from ESPN, KH or the Det/AA media) is Bill Martin's statements: "We are going to follow our process;" "I hope to have this done by the end of Dec.;" and "I am taking this underground." I think the last means that he wants it done out of public view if possible.

Sure seems like he is doing exactly what he said. At this point, I would expect a non-Mich Man to be hired. It will either be very big or a totally unexpected choice.

My money is on one of four:

Mark Richt - GA
Chris Petersen - Boise St.
John Tenuta - DC Ga. Tech
Urban Meyer - Fla.

First, you will see a very public interview with an appropriate minority candidate so that Mich's very PC Adminsitration will not have to answer questions from the Black Coaches Association and the media. Karl Dorell would seem a likely candidate, but the choice is secondary. They need someone other than Ron English whose courtesy interview may not be strong enough to fit the minority watchdog's criteria anyway.
