The Michigan Wolverines’ struggles on the football field last fall are well-documented to this point. A 2-4 season that saw the team look lifeless and listless at times necessitated major changes behind the scenes at Schembechler Hall. Head coach Jim Harbaugh was not one of them, but he was given a “prove it” extension and a chance to get back on track with new blood on the coaching staff.
What followed was a breakneck process of reshaping the group of assistants that worked under Harbaugh, which saw them go much younger across the board. A change had to be made as recently as a week ago after linebackers coach Brian Jean-Mary left for Tennessee.
