Michigan is targeting longtime Ohio State assistant Tony Alford to be its new running backs coach. https://t.co/XUid5lHbEe— Eleven Warriors (@11W) March 13, 2024
Sources: Ohio State RB coach Tony Alford is expected to be the next running backs coach at Michigan. He's informed OSU officials that he's leaving. Football Scoop first reported him as a target.— Pete Thamel (@PeteThamel) March 13, 2024
keep an eye on Eddie George........... It is all done…. He only got offered a one year deal this year with a pay cut…. Michigan offered him 3 years and a raise to north of $800,000 and title of running game coordinator… He already told Ryan Day and this is a very personal move…
The writing was on the wall. Passed over numerous times. In my opinion, not the best timing for Ohio State but a real opportunity to upgrade the coach at that position. No disrespect to Alford but when a coach leaves, a place like Ohio State is always going to be looking to improve that room. Bring on Eddie. This was definitely a personal thing for Alford.... Thank you for your service, Tony. Now get the hell out of the Woody, your key card access has been revoked, you do not get the chance to address your players, and your face will now be on a dartboard in the players’ lounge.
Seeing more than a few tweets from current players that are not approving of his decision.......... Fuel to the fire.........
There was a reason on Feb 15th when all the coaches received contract extension besides Tony Alford...........
A slew of current and former Ohio State players reacted to Tony Alford departing Ohio State for archrival Michigan on social media on Wednesday. https://t.co/uymzc8td1s— Eleven Warriors (@11W) March 13, 2024
