Overview
- Whittingham flew to Orlando, addressed the team, and said he will stay in the background for the Citrus Bowl while planning to retain only two or three current assistants.
- He held a 45-minute one-on-one with Bryce Underwood and said the incoming scheme would suit the quarterback "to a T."
- Deadspin insider Bryan Aguada reports that Underwood and leading receiver Andrew Marsh are expected to return next season, though Michigan has not announced decisions.
- With Biff Poggi leading the interim staff, Steve Casula will call plays against Texas, and players describe a plan to "be explosive" offensively.
- Utah offensive coordinator Jason Beck is viewed in reporting as the favorite for Michigan’s OC job as Whittingham outlines a spread base with a strong run emphasis.
