[NU Sports] Michigan's man ...

[johnadeg at comcast.net]

>From what  I can gather Rodriguez is bringing his own assistants which means Michigan will have to payoff the two year agreement that Carr negotiated for them before retiring.  Maybe Michigan's defensive coordinator would be a  good pick for Fitzgerald since at this point he doesn't owe Michigan anything.  The offensive coordinator will get picked up by someone.  He expected to be given consideration for Carr's job.
