<p>I was happy to read about the AD's efforts to get rid of the term "Michigan man". The term is not a good one, and he is right. He is not the most eloquent speaker, so I will summarize.</p>
<p>His points:</p>
<ol>
<li>There are women at Michigan.</li>
<li>It was taken out of context when Bo Schembechler originally said it. Bo was trying to say he wanted coaches who want to be a Michigan in response to a coach leaving for a position elsewhere.</li>
<li>It is about a person who is selfless, competitive, and continues the legacy of good values. It hasn't been used this way. Instead it has been used to mean somebody should have a connection to Michigan to be hired. This comes across as arrogant.</li>
</ol>
<p>I hope not to hear this term again.</p>
