But Whittingham himself is just a tough coach.

That's what Michigan needs.

He's won almost 200 games at Utah.

I think that's a tremendous hire for them, despite, as Craig so perfectly said, hitting every pothole in the coaching hire road, it felt like.

For them to end up with Whittingham is a home run to me.

I think it's a great hire.

Trent Condon of Lockdown Hawkeyes is here with, I don't know, three minutes left in the show.

Why the heck not?

Nice of you to show up, Trent.

We do appreciate Iowa getting the win over Vanderbilt in the bowl game.

That's a good look for the Big Ten game.

Had one opt-out, so it did not just mean more in the SEC.

Trent, we'll get to you.

Are you driving right now?

Okay, well, I mean, we love the energy to participate, but please don't die.

That would take a dark turn here on the Big Ten squad.

So, Goins, your thought on the staff at Michigan?

Yeah, I thought the whole Whittingham stuff, and I still can't get over how it all went down in Utah, right, just up and out in the direction that Utah is going, right, with the private equity and stuff like that.

But I think it's a great hire for Michigan.

I mean, like Ryan said, he's old school, he's hard-nosed, and that's exactly what you think of with Michigan.
