so I guess he is no longer the WR coach for the University of Michigan

Interesting to see what happens here

I've been reading a lot of things that say Pep is on his way out.
 
Pep needs to go
I think Maryland will stay with their interim coach

Mcelwain could have been OC but obviously once a HC prefer HC. Read AD at Cmu recruited him right away
 
Mcelwain didn't impress me. Our receivers struggled to get open all year.

Well, we only had 2 good ones. I don't know whether that is on McElwain, Harbaugh, or former staff.

Nico and PJ

Black was hurt again all season

Perry was a hold-over and not really ever that impressive. Ronnie Bell was a 0* recruit and a true freshman. They had a couple of walk-ons get time.

A few true freshman got redshirted

Not really a position of strength and depth

It should have been. They had 4 of the top 30 or so receivers in the country (albeit one has been injured his entire Michigan career). They had a 5th year senior that has been a concistent possession guy for the past 3 years. The problem is NOT the talent. It's the unwillingness to use that talent. I saw somewhere that Michigan was 63% run this year and even then it was almost always an obvious passing situation. They rarely threw the ball when they didn't need to, they never used the passing game against lesser opponents to try to tune up for OSU. They were playing conservative and relying on their superior talent to win and in the only 2 games where they met an opponent with equal or better talent they got out coached, out classed and lost.

They're never going to be serious contenders until they start committing to 21st century college football and continue to be too stubborn to adapt to their opponent. There were 3-4 teams that gave them the blueprint to dominate PSU, Michigan got challenged once. Guess who applied what they learned when they played?
