Five reasons Michigan Football will get back on track this season

Michigan Football is ready to make the 2021 season a good one with a new starting quarterback and a bevy of assistant coaching changes.

Can Michigan get back on track this season? If they’re going to do so here are five reasons aid that quest.

Michigan’s defense turns it around under DC Mike Macdonald

Michigan has a mostly revamped defensive staff consisting of coaches who’ve had success in the past:

  • Shaun Nua- defensive line coach
  • George Helow- linebackers coach
  • Steve Clinkscale- defensive backs coach
  • Ron Bellamy- safeties coach
  • Mike Macdonald- defensive coordinator
