Michigan Monday: Are the Wolverines Falling Apart?

Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr take a deep dive into the current state of Michigan football and ask a pretty uncomfortable question for the Wolverines: is this just a transition year under Kyle Whittingham, or is the program starting to come apart?

They discuss Michigan’s culture shift, whether Whittingham’s approach is connecting with the roster, the struggles of Bryce Underwood, the offensive line and running game, the lack of production at tight end, and whether the Wolverines’ defense is really as good as some people think.

They also look ahead to the bigger-picture question: how long will Kyle Whittingham actually be at Michigan, and could the Wolverines eventually make a run at a younger coach like Bob Chesney?
