People really overcomplicate this stuff. Coaches at this level are insanely driven narcissists. Their DNA is constantly moving from spot to spot to “move up.” Jedd personifies this more than most. Sure there are some outliers (Dillingham appears to be one), but they are the exception that proves the rule.
Michigan is in another stratosphere for these clout chasers when compared to UW. (Although it is to UW’s credit that we only lose coaches to legit top-5 jobs like USC and Alabama).
If Jedd gets the call, he’s gone. He likely thought he’d need a breakout year next year to even sniff a job like Michigan. If it comes early, all the better. If they tell him to leave Demond behind, he will do so in a heartbeat.
Now, it’s still unclear to me why Michigan would want to hire him??
