He needs to keep the words "Michigan Coach" "loan default" and "sued" out of headlines together. Whether or not he's justified in the business transaction, it reflects badly on the school. Sometimes I wonder if he's prepared for a job like UM head football coach. I have no doubt of his ability to win games, but handling the exceptionally high, sometimes unfair, public scrutiny is just as much a part of the job. The school's reputation is in his hands, probably more than anyone else; that is serious business for a multi-billion dollar institution.
