They begin by evaluating Michigan’s choice of Martindale and assigning ratings to the hire. The conversation revolves around Martindale’s advantages as a highly skilled schematic coach and his ability to maintain consistency for a Michigan defense that has prospered under the guidance of two of his mentees in the past three seasons. In addition, they consider the unanswered questions surrounding the hiring, such as Martindale’s possible weakness in recruitment, their concerns about his ability to teach less experienced, younger players, and their concerns about his ability to manage a successful demotion by playing college football again.
