Overview
- Michigan named Biff Poggi interim head coach for the Citrus Bowl as the program begins a formal search for a permanent replacement.
- Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter, who helped lead Michigan’s 2022 Big Ten run and 2023 national title, is widely cited as a leading candidate.
- Under Minter, the Chargers’ defense is allowing fewer than 21 points per game and piling up interceptions, bolstering his profile for top jobs.
- Coverage notes Minter’s one-year NCAA show-cause tied to past recruiting violations, with reports differing on whether it expires before the end of 2025 or in spring 2026.
- Fans on social platforms are openly urging Michigan to bring Minter back, even as he draws reported NFL head-coaching interest including links to the Titans.
