Many Michigan fans and players are freaking out. How could Greg Mattison go to Columbus to become the DC for Ohio State? I have heard he has told friends and others that it was a financial decision, as his Michigan contract was due to expire.
My Take:
I really don't see this as a huge loss. Greg is 70 and has one foot already towards retirement. He has been contemplating retirement for a few years now.
He has developed a ton of talent at Michigan but many top level guys never really reached their full potential.
