Virtually every "all-time" program ranking has Michigan in the top-10 and borderline top-5. The AP in the last few years released an all-time program rankings covering 80 years of polls that ranked Michigan 4th or 5th.
Bottomline: this is one of maybe 15 jobs where you have the right ingredients in place to be a playoff regular and national championship contender. When it comes to the hot name commodities, either you're interested in getting paid huge money and having a chance to be a contender, or you're not. UC, Iowa State and other programs have no chance of being what Michigan has the potential to be. If either of those guys passes on this job, the list of equal or better jobs that will be available in the next couple of years is extremely thin.
