Anonymous Big Ten coaches bullish on Michigan's 2025 season with elite defense, new QB

The 2025 college football season is fast approaching and with it comes thoughts on how teams may or may not be. And perhaps the most prescient is that of the coaches around the conference.

Every year, Athlon Sports taps several Big Ten coaches to discuss each team within the league and gets their anonymous thoughts about each program. Though many in the media (and in Vegas) might not be particularly keen on Michigan football, coaches seem to have a different opinion.

The anonymous opinions given paint a picture quite oppositional to the narrative that's pervaded since the Wolverines' 8-5 2024 campaign -- one where the maize and blue started by faltering before finishing strong with wins over Ohio State and Alabama.
