Sherrone Moore finally willing to do whatever it takes to help Bryce Underwood’s development at Michigan
Sherrone Moore, Michigan Wolverines aiming for big step in aiding Bryce Underwood’s development for next season
Bryce Underwood’s freshman season with the Michigan Wolverines has been anything but successful, and has largely left fans disappointed and wondering “what could have been.” Underwood’s fit in offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey’s offense never seemingly clicked, his play never improved throughout the season, and he looked shellshocked whenever Michigan had to drop back and pass.
Not all of it is anyone’s fault, as he was a true freshman playing for a blue blood, but it is alarming that Underwood locked into the same mistakes game after game. I’ve watched every game of his this season three times over, and I can’t definitively state he has improved in any one area. Any flashes of improvement regress the next game, leaving his profile largely inconclusive. The Wolverines can’t afford that (both literally on the field and financially with the resources committed to him).
Sherrone Moore “definitely” taking steps for Bryce Underwood
In his press conference on Monday, head coach Sherrone Moore was adamant about Michigan’s pursuit of improvement around and with Bryce Underwood, implying the Wolverines would do whatever it took in the offseason to get there.
I am unsure of what exact role or capacity this coach would be. It’s unclear if Moore meant the Wolverines would look to pair him with a private quarterback tutor, someone like Brian Griese or Clyde Christensen, or if this quarterbacks coach would actually join the staff in that role, supplanting Chip Lindsey and that role and allowing him to be offensive coordinator only.
Regardless, this feels like a move the Wolverines probably should have already been doing, but they also didn’t plan on throwing Underwood out there as a true freshman as they went through last offseason. Mikey Keene was always intended to be a starter before his injuries kept him out for most of the offseason, and Michigan didn’t have any other choice left.
It’s an encouraging step forward. Hopefully, Michigan gets this hire right to help Underwood become the player we all hope he can be.
