The Michigan defense would be different under Ron English.

That reminds me of Jerry Sandusky. He was a long time (31 years) assistant coach/defensive coordinator at Penn State; and believed to be the heir apparent for the head coaching position (i.e. Joe Paterno's job). He had opportunities to be a head coach at other schools and turned them down. Guess who retired first?

Nothing is guarenteed in life except death and taxes; and probably a "future" head coaching job at your current school. In my opinion, if Ron English got an opportunity to be a head coach at a "top" division 1-A school he should "go for it".
