UMass' OC Steve Casula is leaving to be TE's coach for Michigan.
Our old friends over at "Maize & Brew" also have a post on Casula's joining the Michigan staff.
The UMass Daily Collegian also covers Casula's leaving.
During Casula's first year with the Minutemen, he did not have a lot to work with. UMass finished 2022 #130 in scoring offense and #128 in total offense.
In 2023 the Minutemen improved 42 slots to #86 in total offense and gained 35 slots to #95 in scoring offense.
I liked the dual-threat, run first offense. I think it suits a bad-weather team like the Minutemen. We'll have to see what the new OC brings.

The SEC and Big 10 announce a joint advisory group.
I predict Power Five football is moving towards a "super" conference of about 40 teams in three or four divisions. That conference will ditch the NCAA and have their own governance staff.
