What Bob Shoop can bring to Michigan’s defense

The Michigan Wolverines hired an experienced coach on Thursday afternoon, Mississippi State defensive coordinator Bob Shoop.

Shoop’s role remains to be seen but it’s likely he’ll be coaching safeties and/or linebackers for Michigan.

Who exactly is Bob Shoop, though?

Shoop’s 53 years old and has thirty years of coaching experience under his belt, 17 of which he’s served as a defensive coordinator. The past decade he’s had DC stops at Vanderbilt, Penn State, Tennessee, and Mississippi State.

“He’s a laid-back kind of guy,’ former Tennessee linebacker Darrin Kirkland said in 2016.
