Well, it's official: Ace Journeyman has left Nevada and signed a three-year deal as the head coach of the Michigan Wolverines. Though many are surprised, it makes sense; he has connections in Ann Arbor. When he coached at Eastern Michigan, he technically lived in Ann Arbor, having done some grad assisting there earlier in his career. And, while not necessarily a "Michigan Man," it's the closest place to home he has in the FBS outside of Athens. Prestige-wise, Michigan is a huge step up from either EMU or Nevada, but the expectations are higher here than Reno or Ypsilanti. The last coach was ousted after an 8-5 season, so Journeyman better be ready to win, early and often.
