Ty wants to try head coaching again and perhaps was uneasy about the situation in Denver. I would presume this is a pay cut, but it does provide some security and a chance to rehab his resume' after Morgan St. Good dude, I hope he puts down roots.

Thank his tenure at Morgan State was a disaster.

Steve, I do not. 5-18, however, is not going to get you many looks from the FBS, despite the program's less than storied history. Call it the "Creighton Syndrome".

I saw Ty Wheatley in a spring game at U-M. Local guy, he was far larger than the other backs, yet was so much faster. The only other player with that kind of physical gifts I have seen was Bo Jackson. He was "jaw dropping". His NFL career may have been unspectacular, but Ty lasted TEN years as an NFL running back, with his best occurring late in his career. He was not Zeke Elliott.

In Ann Arbor, our cable TV ops feature WSU games and I watch them frequently. I saw our transfer Karmi Macky not be very effective at WSU. I hope Ty will energize the program, and the kid from Inkster makes good. Just me thinking...

I watched, in person, Honward vs. Morgan State. Program was in a bad place.

I'm not sure of how his leaving happened but I can check if anyone is interested. I know people who are HBCU insiders.

I'm guessing that Ty saw Morgan State as a Rutgers or Vanderbilt mountain that was just too high to climb. The money in Denver sealed the deal.

I would be intrigued to find out I was wrong, however.
