We polled fans earlier this week and here are the results of who they wanted to be Michigan’s next head coach. Unfortunately, he’s now off the board.
Earlier this week, we asked fans who should be Michigan’s next head coach. The results are in, and will be disappointing to a sizable portion of Michigan fans.
*** DISCLAIMER: The poll was conducted and the results were finalized prior to Alabama beating Oklahoma and Kenny Dillingham signing a new contract with Arizona State. ***
- 48% of fans voted for Arizona State’s Kenny Dillingham, who signed an extension with ASU on Saturday morning that gave him a pay bump and more funds pumped into the program.
- 15% voted for Alabama’s Kalen DeBoer. However, DeBoer and Bama beat Oklahoma on Friday night and will be playing Indiana in the Rose Bowl. Alabama advancing should effectively remove DeBoer as a candidate.
- 14% of fans voted for Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter, who was Michigan’s DC in 2023 and ‘24. However, Minter will be a head coach candidate in the NFL this season, with the Tennessee Titans being reported as one team that’s interested.
- 13% voted other. Which now seems like the most likely of the candidates listed.
- 7% voted for Washington’s Jedd Fisch while 3% voted for Missouri’s Eli Drinkwitz. Will either of these men get a closer look with DeBoer and Dillingham no longer in the mix?
CFP First-Round Prediction
In one of our national SB Nation Reacts polls, we asked fans if they think Oregon will cover at -21.5 over James Madison.

89% of fans predict Oregon will cover against James Madison on Saturday night. While James Madison is a long shot to win, it isn’t inconceivable that they cover. James Madison ranks No. 22 in total offense and No. 2 in total defense.
