due to many various issues, the odds Moore has success there are small. Michigan has little choice but to give him a shot at it though.
Is this not the case for most assistant coaches?
Yeah, there is a small window to show promise beyond just a position coach or analyst. Very very competitive environment but also depends on who you know. Some can move down levels(like to FCS or lower) if they don't get a shot at moving up to FBS coordinator, or just stick to being really good at recruiting and developing a specific position(and still make more than enough money).
all position coaches are wise to rent, and not purchase , their housing arrangements
While moving around happens, and he hasn't dropped a level, that's a lot of different stops for the average assistant if you are building connections and getting paid well.
What's the old saying? You don't want to be the guy that follows the guy, but the guy that follows the guy who followed the guy...
That is true. I'm sure they will be favored. But if things are going well for us we should have a shot getting a much coveted victory against them.
Just not true

Haven't read it yet, but there's already precedent set for it, see: Terrelle Pryor.NFL likely won't be safe harbor for Michigan HC Jim Harbaugh from potential NCAA discipline
NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero report that Michigan HC Jim Harbaugh likely would not be able to avoid any potential NCAA suspension
just what I read
Well, fair enough! Lol
Would we have to make a position for Leonhard if the NFL route doesn't go as planned for him? I feel like he would not want to be an analyst for a second year. Or is keeping him at this point a pipe dream?
He wouldn’t want a job that pays him 100k a year that gives him the freedom to be how non Wisconsin 4 days a week? If him being an analyst was a huge problem for him he wouldn’t have turned down numerous DC jobs the past two years.
Okay point taken. I just assumed he'd want a promotion somewhere sooner rather than later. Would love him on the staff as long as he'd like before he takes the next step, whenever or wherever that is going to be.
He might be waiting to see if Fickell falls on his face or if Badger nation grows to dislike him. Feel like Jim bleeds red and would only move on to be a HC in college or apparently a DC in the NFL which might catapult him to HC in the NFL now that it seems more teams are hiring defensive minded coaches.
Not an insider but starting to think it depends on who wins and loses in the NFL
Just saw that he’s getting 5 yrs and 5.5 per year.
$500K (!!!!!) per year plus bonuses . . . .
