Michigan has seemingly whiffed on its primary coaching targets. Now what? This post is locked and can be read by premium subscribers only.

It's been a brutal last 24 hours for U-M football fans.

Kenny Dillingham has signed a new contract. Kalen DeBoer's season will spill into 2026. The next tier of candidates feels ... underwhelming.

What comes next? Who do I want? My latest newsletter is live.
