Who'll Be Michigan's Next Head Coach? Kalen DeBoer, Jedd Fisch Early Favorites

Kalen DeBoer and Jedd Fisch are the favorites to be brought in as the next head coach of Michigan football, according to the early prediction trading market from Kalshi. The job at Michigan will be one of the most attractive - and lucrative - of a coaching cycle that has already seen Lane Kiffin depart Ole Miss for LSU and Jon Sumrall leave Tulane for Florida.

Michigan football, fresh off a 9-3 season, was rocked late Wednesday when head coach Sherrone Moore was fired with cause. That leaves a program two years removed from a national championship - led by Jim Harbaugh - without a head coach, and we're late in the coaching cycle with high-power programs LSU and Florida already having filled vacancies.

Kalshi's prediction market has Alabama's Kalen DeBoer (29%) and Washington's Jedd Fisch (18%) trading as the early favorites. Arizona State's Kenny Dillingham and Los Angeles Chargers defense coordinator (and former Michigan defensive coordinator) Jesse Minter trail behind at 13% and 10%, respectively.

Who's Michigan's interim head coach?

Biff Poggi was named Michigan's interim head coach after rejoining the program this year as the associate head coach. He has an 8-16 overall record as a college football coach, including 2-0 as the interim boss at Michigan this year while coaching the team's third and fourth games during a suspension for Moore.

Poggi has a 3% chance to be hired as Michigan's next permanent head coach, according to Kalshi.

Will Tom Brady coach at Michigan?

Michigan alum and NFL legend Tom Brady has been (jokingly) discussed as a potential candidate to be the Wolverines' next head coach by some on social media. He's listed in Kalshi's market but at less than 1% probability. Brady is currently signed to a 10-year, $375 million contract with FOX Sports as an NFL color commentator. He also has no collegiate coaching experience.
