Edwards had the biggest crowd around him among the Michigan players, who spoke directly after Moore took the podium in front of the conference’s media. Edwards discussed his love for his new head coach.
“We have a lot of supporters of Coach Moore, and we have people that are saying that we’re not going to let him down. And I can say, as a player, we don’t let him down.
“The four games that he was the head coach [in 2024], I believe it was a glimpse of his career at the University of Michigan. I’m ultimately excited for him and blessed that he’s the head coach. Just for him to be a black head coach, it’s a beautiful thing, because … and he said it earlier — nobody else clapped for him, I’m disappointed, y’all — he said regardless of color, being an African American head coach shows that throughout your hard work, that you can achieve anything. Regardless of your color, as well, you can achieve anything that you want to, as long as you put your mind to it. That’s my dawg.”

Michigan changed over from Jim Harbaugh to Moore at head coach, and the program has remained the same, per the players, including Edwards. He spoke on that when asked about the differences between Harbaugh and Moore.
“Nah, there’s nothing different. Personality, yeah, different between him and Coach Harbaugh, but the philosophy is the exact same — and he knows that. It’s the same thing — most of our position coaches have left, but these new coaches are Michigan men and live up to the standard that we have created in 2021 and has been built.
“Coach Moore has been here through the bad times and the good times, so he knows exactly what to do. He’s going to remain humble, and he’s gonna ultimately succeed at being the head coach at Michigan.”
