Overview
- Multiple outlets report Michigan is working to hire BYU defensive coordinator Jay Hill under new head coach Kyle Whittingham, though no deal has been finalized.
- Whittingham confirmed a 45-minute one-on-one meeting with quarterback Bryce Underwood in Orlando as his first player sit-down.
- Reports indicate Underwood and freshman receiver Andrew Marsh are expected to remain at Michigan next season as retention takes priority before the transfer portal reopens.
- Whittingham described “brutally honest” talks with current assistants and indicated he expects to retain only a few holdovers while largely installing his own staff.
- Utah offensive coordinator Jason Beck is viewed as the frontrunner for Michigan’s offensive coordinator role, and Jay Hill’s potential move would likely create a BYU vacancy with USC assistant Shaun Nua mentioned as an early candidate.
