On the latest episode of The Blue Print, Devin Gardner and Jake Butt talk about the new culture that Kyle Whittingham is instilling within the Michigan football program, most notably at the QB position.  Devin shares his insight on incoming quarterback Colin Hurley and how he could potentially push Bryce Underwood for the starting job while Jake looks back on how internal competition brought out the best in him. Then, we’re joined by the winningest head coach in Michigan hoops history, John Beilein! John talks about the values he was looking for when putting a team together and how much more difficult team building is in today’s college sports environment.  John also reveals how Dusty May wound up as the team’s head coach and how much the program has changed – for the better – from when he took over in 2008 to where it’s at today.
