Chip Lindsey is Missouri’s newest violative coordinator and I americium highly skeptical of this hire. To put it nicely. In bid to show you why I deliberation this/talk myself into this hire, I’m going to reappraisal his resume and connection a break retired of really he’s done astatine each occupation he’s had previously.
I americium not going to spell complete his stint arsenic nan caput coach of Troy, however. Why? Couple of reasons:
- He was nan caput coach, not a sole violative coordinator
- Mizzou is hiring him arsenic an violative coordinator, not arsenic a caput coach
- He’s nan first Troy shot coach since 1991 to not person a winning season, nor triumph astatine slightest 1 convention title; he intelligibly sucked and there’s nary request to dive immoderate deeper than that to beryllium to you that he sucked astatine Troy
This is nan last entry: past season’s tally arsenic Michigan’s violative coordinator.
Part I - his clip astatine Southern Mississippi - is correct here.
Part II - his clip astatine Arizona State - is correct here.
Part III - his clip astatine Auburn - is correct here.
Part IV - his clip astatine Central Florida - is correct here.
Part V - his clip astatine North Carolina - is correct here.

It’s difficult to picture really bad Michigan’s discourtesy was successful 2024. Everything was lightyears worse than it was successful nan last twelvemonth of Jim Harbaugh and J.J. McCarthy, and moreover investigation done by MGoBlog discovered that it was nan largest violative diminution successful Michigan shot history. The 2024 discourtesy is successful nan bottommost 5 of Michigan shot history successful full yardage output, number of scores, fewest points, lowest violative efficiency, lowest points per thrust and yards per play. The truth that they classed 94th is simply a miracle.
So in installments to Lindsey for coming successful and getting them backmost connected track. They weren’t very good, mind you. But nan truth that they went from 94th to 53rd is worthy a chapeau tip, astatine a minimum. Michigan yet returned to a Top 20 moving discourtesy successful his short stint successful Ann Arbor, and moreover nan passing crippled cracked into nan Top 40. Again, this was a emblematic “great running/high efficiency/middling passing/low explosiveness” discourtesy that Lindsey tends to churn out, but it was a activity of caller aerial for a Michigan discourtesy that was perfectly putrid nan twelvemonth before.
What happened astatine nan extremity of this tenure?
- On December 21st, 2025, Lindsey was hired by Eli Drinkwitz arsenic violative coordinator, replacing nan departed Kirby Moore, existent Washington State caput coach.
- Michigan Head Coach Sherrone Moore - perchance nan horniest online man connected nan satellite - had his infidelities yet travel location to roost, and mislaid his damn mind aft getting fired by nan school. He is presently successful jail.
Even arsenic a hater I person to springiness in installments to Lindsey’s expertise to rehab a fallen discourtesy and get them backmost to nan floor plan that they wanted, and he excelled at. They ran nan ball, utilized efficiency, and had uncreated passing schemes for a freshman quarterback. All successful an effort to put nan Michigan defense successful a position to triumph games. It’s what Lindsey has done for astir of his career. And what Eli Drinkwitz wants.
This Hater’s takeaway: success
