3 reasons Tony Alford is a home run hire for Michigan football

Michigan football stole Ohio State's running backs coach, Tony Alford, and here's why he's the perfect hire for the Wolverines to replace Mike Hart.

Egg on the face of Ryan Day

I'm sure Ohio State won't have problems finding another running backs coach. But it's objectively hilarious how Buckeye fans are acting like the guy they have routinely called the best running backs coach in the country is a bum. It was expected, but still funny nonetheless.

It's wild that Moore took Alford and stole him from underneath Ryan Day's nose without him even knowing about it. It's not like this was something we heard about from the opposing side until after the fact. Very few Michigan people knew.

With all the losing Ryan Day has done to Michigan football over the past three seasons, this is another loss. Maybe he'll turn it around and get the last laugh, you never know, but Sherrone Moore beat him on the field in November and he's holding his own in the offseason.

The Buckeyes can call themselves offseason champs, but Michigan football, all things considered, have had a pretty good offseason, one that got even better with the hire of Tony Alford.
