The Michigan head coach opening has seen Brian Daboll emerge as a potential candidate, but he's not the only ex-New York Giants coach who could get a look. Daboll's former defensive coordinator, Wink Martindale, is already on staff in Ann Arbor, and his promotion feels like a more likely outcome.
After Michigan fired head coach Sherrone Moore for cause on Wednesday afternoon, the rumor mill started flying with high-caliber names. But Martindale's success in taking over Jesse Minter's defense and long NFL pedigree mean he could be a true dark horse candidate in Michigan's search.
