Death of the Warde Manuel narrative by 1,000 paper cuts

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

Michigan basketball hired its new head coach in Dusty May, thought it appeared all day on Saturday that May was headed to Louisville to take over the Cardinals. What it means for the basketball program moving forward and how it happened.

But that brings alight the bigger question: what to do with Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel? Much maligned, Manuel has consistently done what fans have said he wouldn't and not done what fans have said he would. We've told you all along he's not the enemy many believe him to be and now we're busting open the narrative that Manuel is the chief problem among athetics.

Then, we get into a milieu of football topics, ranging from Mason Graham saying he isn't leaving Michigan football to Donovan Edwards now being healthy and really increasing in maturity and leadership.
