But he still had a lot to prove. Huge chip on his shoulder.

Also, 62 is notably not 'late 60s'

Yeah I got the exact opposite vibe from Whittingham. He committed so much of his life to Utah that I was sure he only saw Michigan as a paycheck. And fair play to him, I don't judge him for that, but Michigan shouldn't have hired him. Always got the feeling they thought it was a "safe" hire, but for me the ceiling was always looked like 8/9 wins, no playoffs, no big ten title.

Every coach hired to huge programs have a lot to prove. This makes no sense.

Unless you’re able to prove the existence of the chip on his shoulder, this is such a clear case of hindsight bias lol

Anyone who shows up with “down with Michigan and Ohio state” and “google me, I win” has something to prove. Thus, chip.
