What changed for Michigan football in 2021 other than Connor Stalions?

Locked On Wolverines - Daily Podcast On Michigan Wolverines Football & Basketball

One of the arguments against Michigan football since the Connor Stalions saga began -- and has ramped up as of late -- has been the mere 'asking questions' crowd chiming in with 'Jim Harbaugh was 69-24 in his first six years and 40-3 his last three years' after Connor Stalions was officially hired. 'What changed?' they ask, as if Stalions is the reason why Michigan has been winning the past three years.

Well, we'll tell you what changed. An awful lot.

From the culture in the locker room with players holding themselves and others accountable, to a brooming of the old coaching staff for new faces (including Michigan alums who came back to coach) -- six of whom are now coaches in the NFL -- to a big increase in both production from high-end recruiting talent to the development of the lower ends of the classes, Michigan looks completely different now than it did four or five years ago. We go into great detail to combat these lazy, ignorant, and disingenuous narratives.
