Dusty May’s first coaching hire is a big one. Former Oklahoma State head coach Mike Boynton is expected to join May’s staff in Ann Arbor.
Boynton’s seven-year head coaching tenure at Oklahoma State came to a disappointing end, but he’s universally respected as a recruiter, coach, and person. The 42-year-old Brooklyn native brings head coaching experience, high-major assistant coaching experience, and some of the best recruiting pedigree in the sport to bolster Dusty May’s bench.
Here are five thoughts on Boynton, recruiting, his potential fit in Ann Arbor and more.
Still to come
- 1. Hiring from outside shows leadership
- 2. Defensive impact
- 3. A recruiting star
- 4. Eric Dailey Jr. is a natural portal target
- 5. State connection
